6 Tips on Writing An Actually Inclusive Reader Insert:

1. Do a ctrl + f search of the colors red and pink. If these colors are being used to describe the reader in any way, delete it.

2. Instead of "blushing", use "goosebumps", "shivers", "avoiding eye contact", etc. It still conveys the same thing, and you can get more creative than just using "blushing" 10,000 times.

3. Don't mention being pale or becoming pale (like, seriously, this is just a given). If you want to talk about the reader looking sick or dying, use "ghastly" or "sunken eyes", etc. Again, this is a great opportunity to be more creative in your language as well as inclusive

4. For body-inclusivity, don't talk about the reader sharing clothes with someone. I personally would not fit into anything that Nancy Wheeler owns, so yeah, let's just not do this

5. Don't mention hair. A lot of us can't just wash our hair and move on with our day. Don't get me started on "running their fingers across their hair". Just refrain from descriptions of styling, washing, and touching the reader's hair.

6. Don't put pictures of pretty, white girls for "aesthetics". It honestly just deters readers, and it's just not inclusive in the slightest

That's it, that's basically all you need to do to be inclusive. I'll admit, as a lighter skin POC writer, some of these did slip my mind when I used to write, but what's important is actually listening to readers and encouraging inclusivity in your writing.

If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to put your own.

a guide to leaving feedback / interacting with fics.

recently in the kpop fanfic community, there have been a lot of authors that depart from their blogs due to the lack of feedback & interactions they receive on their fics. this could be due to a number of reasons, but since we are a fic-recommendation blog, we figured we would do our part in helping the community be more aware of a couple ways on how they can spread love on their favorite works and prevent more authors from leaving due to this specific reason!

please understand that is just the perspective of the admins of ficscafe. other people have different preferences and opinions, but we compiled information gathered from perspectives of an abundance of authors and this seems to be the middle ground / popular belief. if you have any questions or concerns, please drop by the ficscafe ask box.

  1. reblogs + text response. if we’re talking about the best way to promote authors and make them feel good, reblogging the fic itself and writing your feedback in the body of the post is the way to do it. there’s nothing better than an author clicking their notifications and seeing a reblog + comment on a fic they’ve written. it not only helps with promoting, but it also gives them an idea of how their audience feels about their work! comment within the reblog vs. tags. there’s nothing wrong with either of these! they both have the same purpose—promotion with feedback for the author. the only setback for tags is that if the author wanted to respond to your comment, it would require them to take a screenshot instead of reblogging with your feedback above theirs. stuck on what to write in the comments? easy! write literally anything pertaining to the fic. you can quote parts of the story where you felt a certain way, you can compliment the writing style, or you can discuss your thoughts on the fic. you can also talk about how much it impacted you, how interesting the storyline was, or even the uniqueness of the fic. literally anything. authors love hearing from their readers, and it motivates them to continue writing more !!
  2. comments. only leaving comments is fine, however, it’s not particularly the best when it comes to promotion. authors do love seeing how their audience feels about their fic–but it’s a bit discouraging when their readers comment but it wasn’t good enough to warrant a reblog. authors sometimes depend on their tags, networks, and pages like ours to help with sharing their stories, but it only goes to a certain extent. please reblog !! your reblog will be more helpful than you think.
  3. likes. probably the absolute worst way to express your adoration for a fic. tumblr is not like instagram—in order for the fic to be spread throughout the community, liking won’t take it far. liking a fic and leaving it as that is almost as if you’re hiding the fact that you enjoyed it. if you really did enjoy the content, please refer back to #1 as to which is the best way.
  4. leaving asks. this is sweet !! we understand that sometimes readers can be shy, but again, it has the same result as #2 comments. leaving asks means interacting with the author, and this can create an ongoing conversation and build a relationship with your favorite author. nothing is better (other than a reblog + text response) than seeing a little bubble above your inbox with a new ask.
  5. donations. this is probably the least popular action. there’s nothing wrong with authors asking for donations, but they shouldn’t make you feel like it’s an obligation or guilt trip you into doing it. donations should be within your means–but if you can donate and the fic was worthwhile enough to donate, feel free to do so! most authors have a kofi, but if they don’t, feel free to drop by their inbox and ask!

hi im an en-writer and i just wanted to get this out to as many people as possible

reblogs are important but so are feedbacks. sometimes we writers become so anxious when all we see are rbs and likes without a word about how well or even how bad your fic was. i just want to tell all blank/empty/"just for reading" blogs to please please please. if you like a fic, if you like a story, say it. it just breaks my spirit further each time I upload a story and theres no feedback at all, let alone appreciation asks/rbs. if you want to keep reading good stories, you have to let the world know that you want to keep reading good stories. none of us are mind-readers and its even harder on an online platform.

its my sincere request to people to pelase give love and appreciation to all fic writers, not just your "top3" because other writers deserve a chance and deserve happiness too.

i totally agree with you. i hope people read this and absorb some knowledge. though a hobby, it still takes a lot of courage to post stuff on a worldwide available platform

A/N: Hello! you’re probably wondering what this is, so I’ll explain. Basically this week has been very very rough and my mental health is not doing good so I wasn’t capable of writing a new chapter but I didn’t want to leave you with nothing so I decided to do a couple of fake twitter interaction of the fans and how they reacted to reader and sunghoon interactions. This is very last minute and I’ve never done this before. THIS IS NOT GOING TO TURN INTO A SMAU, it’s just something i put together last minute. Let me know of you like it or absolutely hate it to come up with something new if this ever ever happens again<3<3<3

@eliseorban plagiarized from me on wattpad

this user was literally just outed for stealing people's works. unfortunate, like a lot of the author's in this community i just found out that a work of mine - "dance in the dark" - was stolen.

no credit was given.

no permission was asked from.

they literally copy and pasted it and tried to pass it off as theirs.

as i always say, PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME.

here is the book in which mine and many other author’s works were stolen and put into
and here’s my fic “dance in the dark”. as you can see, they even took my moodboard.
lastly, here is their profile
