IF YOU ARE A WRITER, PLEASE READ THIS‼️
ORIGINAL CHARACTER OR READER INSERT?
i came to talk about a problem that has been happening both here on tumblr and ao3 (which is the incorrect use of tags in some fanfics)
i don't understand why some people use the tag "reader insert" or "x reader" when the story is clearly not a reader insert.
i don't know if it's a way to get your fanfic to reach more people, but this is starting to get really annoying...
if i wanted to read a fanfic where the original character has a name, and original features i would search for that kind of history. the problem is that there is clearly a difference between the tags but people choose to ignore them..
so please, if you are a writer and you use the tags incorrectly (like the example of your fanfic being an oc insert and you still put the tags of reader insert) please correct them!
ORIGINAL CHARACTER IS NOT THE SAME THING AS READER INSERT!
