So, this is my first ever compilation of any sort and if it’s trash I understand if your wondering why I’m not doing gacha videos or other stuff but this it’s because I am the worst at editing and can’t do anything like other UA-camrs so yea and I hate y/n so if you do this is the video for you enjoy (sorry for the trash outro it gets better and comments more compilation ideas I can do✨)
I swear I'm gonna write a fanfic that contains the line "After getting dressed I decided I didn't need makeup, cause I'm not like other girls." *Y/N looks in the mirror, revealing the description of a young man adjusting his binder* "I'm not even a girl, to start with."
Instead of fight song it's y/n sobbing in their bedroom to Cavetown and they aren't being horribly bullied they just have social anxiety and voice dysphoria
I don't like it but the song makes me think back to KPrep in my 4th and 5th grade to like High School.. We had this song play to power us up... All I did was cry
Y’all help I have to sing Fight Song for my Spring concert at school 💀 I ended up accidentally having to audition for the solo, and I’m unfortunately confident enough that I think I might get it 🙃
i think most gn/other minority yn stories are well written bc the authors are so tired of not having something that everyone can enjoy that they put their whole soul into it while most fem yn stories are just stories that is obviously just the author imagining her ideal self in the story but made the story an x reader bc she either wont admit thats what she did or so the book gets more views alshakdh
at least thats my pov since i write neutral x readers w this mindset 😭 (with ‘neutral’ meaning i try to avoid specific descriptors for most of my mcs so everyone as a whole can enjoy them)
At this point I want a y/n fic that takes the concept to the extreme right into some horror type shit. "Y/n" isn't a person, it's an eldritch entity. One that traverses through countless universes and realities in search of its next grandiose meal. Though not always malicious in nature, it feeds off the unconditional and obsessive love, lust, and affection of others. But due to its true size, it must consume great amounts to feel full. And of course, to do this it must take any shape possible. A character is attracted only to men or masc aligned people? No problem. A character is attracted to petite people? Easy. Whatever skin tone, whatever eye color, whatever personality. Y/n can do it all. Y/n can be anyone you meet. Perhaps a friendly coffee shop owner? Or maybe your new next door neighbor? Who knows? However, one thing is certain. When Y/n appears, reality. . begins to shift. Everyone slowly seems to become obsessed with them, either through blind hatred or blind love. There's never a moment where Y/n isn't being discussed. It's. . concerning. Terrifying. Even more so for the very few people in the world aware of just how strange this new person is. Edit - if anyone wants to write about this for a fandom or original work, go ahead! No need to ask me lol. Imo we need more wacky y/n stories in the world.
I wrote a practice fanfic because, I'm black and I got tired of having to reimagine Y/n as a character that fit my complexion. It was annoying. Never releasing it though
No bc that was one of my big problems as a beginner writer. I damn well knew no sensible parent would let their kid go through the horrendously dangerous adventures I'd always have in mind, so it was either they were neglectful or dead 😭
LMAO, Writing parent figures, for me(if I want them to be good parents), is literally just me writing people that are nothing like my own parents bc both of them suck at parenting and one of them sucks as a person in general. If I want to write shitty parents, I write parents based on my own with some qualities of my grandparents just for a good variety of terrible child-rearing.
@@deekshasaywut Actually, in the story I'm writing (teens with demon powers, as per usual) the dad of two of the people in the group not only discovers their secret, but becomes actively involved in helping them (since he's a cop) because if he can't stop his kids from demon hunting, he'll do his damnedest to make sure they don't get killed. I feel like healthy parental involvement is untapped potential in these kinds of stories.

10:30 y/n doesn’t need to be plus-size, POC, or LGBTQ+ in order to be well-written. I think it’s better to write it so people can be any of these and still read the story without feeling left out.
Agreed. Self inserts with traits like that are there because often times, Y/N is Cishet, White and Fem coded. Not everyone fits within those labels, so having a Y/N with traits that are different from the usual is pretty nice. When I sit down to read an occasional self insert, I will ALWAYS be kicking my feet in joy when I find out that the reader is Bi, or just not straight.
What ruins a 'y/n' story: the term "Y/n", fanfictions tend to rely to hard on the term and makes the story veer too hard out of its setting, I cannot imagine my comfort character saying /y/n/, I imagine the character saying you, try using the 'you' and 'they' as a substitute for 'y/n' and 'y/f/c' or things along those terms. Try to make the story as realistic to its time and reality For example ( I am using my comfort show as an example cause I don't really know anything else that I like that would work.): You had step foot into the tavern. Your clothing shifted as you trudged your way past oddly shapen people, yelling and loudly talking over mugs of beer, you caught sight of your pal Samuel, as he caught sight of you. You had stared daggers into his soul as he smiled brightly. "Hey! You finally arrived, took you a while" Samuel yelled innocently, "yeah yeah, hush now Adams, you are being to loud for my enjoyment" you knocked your fist into his shoulder. See how riveting your story can be without the use of Y/N? Its almost as if you can feel yourself in the position that you're reading.
"Hey.. You, can you come here?" It's considerrd rude to refer to someone like that as if they dont have a name. You cant always be a replacement for your name without seeming out of place.
@@Noodles4Anime that's not what they meant. they meant that always using the ter, y/n to refer to y/n gets a very repetitive, and makes readers be less interested in the story for its repetitive essence. Instead of always using y/n, try to use more other neutral terms, like they, them, theirs, you, your, stuff like that. Also, they didn't say to always use the term 'you' (or any other term really) so that it wouldn't seem out of place, they meant that the frequent referral to y/n being y/n and not other gender-neutral terms. And yes, I think the person who made the comment knows that it's rude to refer to someone as 'you' when calling the person as if they do not have a name.
I feel like the whole jock and nerd stuff from fanfics don’t really relate to our time anymore bc nowadays the nerd IS the jock (cuz they’re trying to get in college, look good in applications, etc). At least, that’s how it was in AP classes.
I can’t ever find any POC!Reader without it being kinda racist. I mean i was reading a South Asian y/n (ik it’s rare) and the author said “y/n smelled like curry.” Like seriously 😒? Why do we always gotta smell weird? P.s. i’m south asian if u couldn’t tell
s/o to that one writer who literally wrote a racist!bakugo x black!reader and it had fuck shit lines like "out of all the boys in the world, you had to fall for the racist one?" and "if it was [a girl], itd have straight hair and fair skin. this is a gorilla" fics been taken down but holy shit ive never been the same since
MANY of the mafia or business-type ones I’ve read there’s always an assistant or mafia member that does something wrong and the first thing they’re threatened with is “being sent to Africa” like wtf
I would just write that the parents were murdered and that Y/N or [NAME] was then put up for adoption yet despite the police’s wishes they wouldn’t leave the case alone and HAD to help. With the help of what their parents had left behind as they were detectives and close to cracking a murder case. My lord this just gave me an entire story idea-
Honestly saaaame, so I started writing a fanfic where Y/N just has neutral pronouns and characteristics. Also AO3 has got really good trans, masc, NB, LGBTQIA+, poc Y/N fanfics if y’all are still looking.
Okay idk WHAT yall are reading but most if not ALL of the fanfics I've read we're falling in LOVE with the oc or y/n- like they are so well written and badass and funny and have great style- yall gotta get off your side of wattpad 💀💀💀
@@elizabethxingzhenlim3120 I once saw a really well written Y/N fic that had funny comments So both good and funny comments exists apparently Of course, it was a spanish fic, and latam humor cracks me up so
As someone who often has Y/n main characters I’ve never done a x reader Y/n is always aromantic- I made a Harry Potter fanfic once where after in was announced that the Yule Ball would be happening Y/n got super over excited and everyone assumed they were a hopeless romantic and they were so excited to get asked to the ball when they were actually just excited because they wanted help plan the ball :>
Probably one of the best jokes in a fan fic I ever heard was y/n was introducing themself on stage and the character next to them (Gideon gleeful if your wondering) said “yen?” Confused and y/n explained it how we all say it. And back in the day I hated it but reading it again now I’m literally fucking dying it’s so subtle and funny this is peek writing
10:35 I like this one. Why? Because I’m writing a story with plus sized, black, gay, male Y/N that actually has relatable problems-😭 How did this happen? I couldn’t find many male Y/N stories, and I had heard POC complain about POC Y/N. So I thought I could challenge myself with a Y/N story that is nothing like the ones you usually read. It’s still a draft, and my friend is the only one that has really read it-. But I’m thinking about uploading the first few chapters this summer. What do you think? 🤔 Edit: Ok the name- I still haven’t uploaded but the name is probably going to be “A Y/N fic you should read. 💅”. (Yes the emoji is part of the title) It’s basic, I know, but I think it’s true🥰. Also, it’s sort of not written for you to add your name for ‘Y/N’, you’re supposed to read ‘Y/N’😅. Did I mention Y/N is also gay and plus size-?
If there was a y/n academy, I'm sure we can all agree that Bella Swan from Twilight would be the teacher/principal/secretleythequeenoftheland/sky quiet kid.
I remember refusing to Y/N stories because they were so annoying and senseless, I've just recently started again. Kind of still annoying, but I'm most importantly staying away from the ones about actual people. Creepy af. Also, I love Y/N slander, I had issues but these stories took the cake.
All I want is a Y/N that can act like a normal person in their own way (Is that what you call it?). No tragic story, no luxurious lifestyle, no dramatic entrance or any cringy "problems", and no dead parents GOD!! Just a simple life but it's a good one that makes some people jealous because of house lovely their life is they don't need to prove anything or to find love for the sake of finding love and they don't need to do reckless things just to get validation, like they don't give a dang and goes away from all the drama happening out there. Is there any fanfic where the "Y/N" is like that?
So I’m an X reader writer, and I think one of my biggest pet peeves is only making a female y/n. I am personally non-binary and would love to see some more representation. Plus, it really ruins a book when a character is canonically gay/lesbian/bi/ect but it’s only with a female y/n (excluding a lesbian character, it’s always with a male reader for once)
As an x reader writer too, I really wanna write a non binary y/n, but the problem I have is I get nervous I'll get something wrong or represent y/n as a character, and everyone who is reading the story and is non binary, wrong. I'm not non binary so I don't know the kinds of struggles and oppression you all deal with. But I am learning a lot more. For now I'm just sticking with y/n being a female, but with mostly she/they pronouns. And a very vaguely described, or not even described at all, kind of style, fashion choice, etc. It's kinda fun honestly
@@user.LCW01 just use the gender neutral pronouns as it can be used for everyone (that's literally why they exist) and try to use as little Genderring terms as possible (the only exception is if the reader character is shown to be explicitly alright with certain terms. Like how I, a transmasc, hate "femine" terms but don't mind getting called pretty)
as a fanfic and x reader writer. I got too sick of fem! reader that I decided to make practice oneshots with male or gender-neutral reader. I also started writing genderfluid reader (since I wanted some representation)
The issue with y/n and reader fanfics is that they're written to be so out of touch with a normal human, and so distant to who may actually be reading the fic that y/n is essentially more of an oc or the creators self insert rather than somebody the reader can project themselves onto. Especially when the creator makes y/n wear clothing that looks like she dug to the literal bottom of her local dump.
I lowkey wanna start writing again just to make something that isn't a pain full of cliches like this😭Everyone in this comment section seems so fun. I havent written an actual story in so long but this.. this is givin me that motivation
I love how many people slander (Y/N) for being 5'2, bullied in school, messy hairbun type, dead family members, etc. But based on my experiences as a writer, I will write those things about (Y/N) if and only it is relevant to the plot, if it is not, then I will just let the readers pick what they want (Y/N) to wear or look like. Just let the readers see their actual selves in the story other than some stereotypical character that wears things, looks and what they are that isn't even relevant to the plot.
like for example: y/n was bullied in school because she had a scar on her arm which basically relates her to her past life how she died and about her powers and shit like that- and messy hair bun type wtf does that gotta do with any plot or story?!??
Whenever I see YN break up a fight all I can think about is how I broke one up by yelling at some due who just bodied the other to "Quit your shit, you're by the student store for fuck sake"
@@ikmwrime29sorryaira60 I honestly think it was more so the fact that several people had also said a similar thing at the same time but it was successfully broken up lmao
12:07 this would be great as some sort of What We Do In The Shadows-style show or sitcom, all the 'love interest' types just hanging out as roommates and arguing with each other, forming some unlikely friendships and getting into problems together
I do kind want to see a story where y/n is part Teletubby? Also like In certain fandoms there’s literally only male Y/N fics A N D A03 is great for G/N Y/N fics.
i need a crybaby y/n who isn’t afraid to cry and doesn’t run away, one who accepts her feelings and just throws a can of soda at her bully and spills it all over his designer clothes and breaks his apple watch 😘😘 yes, i am a crybaby. yes, i fantasize about throwing cans of soda at people.
"That's rough buddy" My humor is so broken I laughed so loudly I love Zuko too much I have read Zuko x reader fanfics and y/n is so weird like this is not me why am I doing this and why are our clothes "making friends on the floor" SIR WHAT THEY ARE FABRIC-
25:34 i remember seeing this on tik tok and sending it to my friend who is actually named Emily, and she was in the middle of making a character with brown hair and eyes- edit: time stamp
28:00 While i agree with most of this i disagree with the "have y/n take meds to help" and "dont have it be self diagnosed" cause not every person with genuine depression has access to getting meds or a diagnosis. Sometimes ppl dont have healthcare so they cant go to a doctor, sometimes ppl cant afford meds, sometimes ppls parents suck and dont want to get them diagnosed. No I'm not saying you shouldn't put diagnosed and medicated depression into your story, cause you should! I'm saying don't demonize those who can't get meds or aren't able to get a diagnosis. Sometimes self-diagnosis is all a person can get and we need to stop saying self-diagnosis is bad just because some ppl end up being liars. Infact if you have a younger teen y/n its much more realistic to have their depression go unchecked since only a small percentage of that demographic actually gets checked or medicated for depression.
This gave me the inspiration to make a fanfic where all the different categories of y/n are finally in college, and somehow find ways to meet eachother (via roomates ect) it'll be a chill friend group type of fic
Bruh someone make a master list of good y/n fanfics and cause I would read all those even if I know nothing about the fandom. Struggling to find good fanfics nowadays 😭
I always get so dang mad when people say they're "not like other girls" because they don't wear makeup or whatever. Buddy, you have no idea what it means to be different. Try having a literal, professionally diagnosed brain condition that makes you unable to understand body language, tone of voice, and social norms. Then we'll see who's "not like other girls."
They also say bs like "I like boys more bc less drama". Lemme tell you as someone who's has had mostly guy friends for over a decade and is in a school where fights frequently happen, Imma tell you that's a lie.
I like to think of Y/N in any fanfic as the very opposite of the irl human who's reading it like if u super cheery in bubbly irl u will be the most depressed being in the world with every mental illness possible and vice versa
@@destinyjames-anderson1098 aweee I wish I could upload it on wattpad or something but I can't because my grandparents are homophobic and check my phone, but I turn 18 next year so maybe then!
3:06 okay, i dont have a full story (but i'm working on one) so, its like, male y/n lives with his mother ( big shock, he actually has parents) and his younger sister. They live kinda in the woods, away from people.One day, male y/n decides that he needs a break from his house, so he decides to get some fresh air, and go on a walk. After he walks a bit, he decides to let all his feelings out. It starts out as kicking rocks into trees, followed by soft sobbs, that leads to a yell/scream so full of emotion, someone could make an entire headcannon from it. ~End~ (like what i did there?)
I need a trans y/n fic where it’s about y/n doing a transition and accepting themselves and other people in their life accepting them it’d be beautiful
Fanfic writer here. I just wanted to say that I LOVE writing stories for my ocs where they’re in organised crime(gangs/mafias) and especially when the love interest is someone else in the mob. But I’m just sayin, all of those “9999999999999’999999999999 mEtEr TaLl pOp StAr DeMoN WeReWoLf VaMpIrE pRiNcE mAfIa BoSs” x Y/N stories completely ruined it all. Like you know you’re extremely lucky when you actually find a good fanfic about the main character in organised crime/dating someone in organised crime.
So, this is my first ever compilation of any sort and if it’s trash I understand if your wondering why I’m not doing gacha videos or other stuff but this it’s because I am the worst at editing and can’t do anything like other UA-camrs so yea and I hate y/n so if you do this is the video for you enjoy (sorry for the trash outro it gets better and comments more compilation ideas I can do✨)

I feel like the whole jock and nerd stuff from fanfics don’t really relate to our time anymore bc nowadays the nerd IS the jock (cuz they’re trying to get in college, look good in applications, etc). At least, that’s how it was in AP classes.
Jocks/gym bros tend to be nerds and gamers themselves nowadays.
Ngl I can never read a black!reader without the fic having some sorta racism or colorism embedded into it 🏃🏽♀️💨🥱
I can’t ever find any POC!Reader without it being kinda racist. I mean i was reading a South Asian y/n (ik it’s rare) and the author said “y/n smelled like curry.” Like seriously 😒? Why do we always gotta smell weird?
P.s. i’m south asian if u couldn’t tell
s/o to that one writer who literally wrote a racist!bakugo x black!reader and it had fuck shit lines like "out of all the boys in the world, you had to fall for the racist one?" and "if it was [a girl], itd have straight hair and fair skin. this is a gorilla"
fics been taken down but holy shit ive never been the same since
I saw one that said “(y/n) had blonde hair styled in straight, long, afro.”
Like the author forgot it was black!reader in the beginning😭😭😭

I would just write that the parents were murdered and that Y/N or [NAME] was then put up for adoption yet despite the police’s wishes they wouldn’t leave the case alone and HAD to help. With the help of what their parents had left behind as they were detectives and close to cracking a murder case.

i love the fact that they included Jackson Wang in here because every fanfic reader, kpop stan or not, has gone to his party at least once
Or he’s the school bully
As someone who often has Y/n main characters I’ve never done a x reader Y/n is always aromantic- I made a Harry Potter fanfic once where after in was announced that the Yule Ball would be happening Y/n got super over excited and everyone assumed they were a hopeless romantic and they were so excited to get asked to the ball when they were actually just excited because they wanted help plan the ball :>
i beg of you to link the fic i BEG i am so desperate to see aromantic y/n's and your fics sound like absolute heaven to me
Your fics sound fun. Links?
“I didn’t have any money to pay the bills so I sold you to One Direction” honestly I hear that too much like 💀🤚🏽👁👄👁
when y/n is technically supposed to be you but is given very specific features and traits...
Probably one of the best jokes in a fan fic I ever heard was y/n was introducing themself on stage and the character next to them (Gideon gleeful if your wondering) said “yen?” Confused and y/n explained it how we all say it. And back in the day I hated it but reading it again now I’m literally fucking dying it’s so subtle and funny this is peek writing
Gideon is my least favorite GF character but I can't help but laugh at this 🤣
GIDEON????????????
10:35 I like this one. Why? Because I’m writing a story with plus sized, black, gay, male Y/N that actually has relatable problems-😭
How did this happen?
I couldn’t find many male Y/N stories, and I had heard POC complain about POC Y/N. So I thought I could challenge myself with a Y/N story that is nothing like the ones you usually read. It’s still a draft, and my friend is the only one that has really read it-. But I’m thinking about uploading the first few chapters this summer. What do you think? 🤔
Edit: Ok the name-
I still haven’t uploaded but the name is probably going to be “A Y/N fic you should read. 💅”. (Yes the emoji is part of the title) It’s basic, I know, but I think it’s true🥰. Also, it’s sort of not written for you to add your name for ‘Y/N’, you’re supposed to read ‘Y/N’😅.
Did I mention Y/N is also gay and plus size-?
@oniisue Thanks! Maybe I’ll comment the name once I upload? 🤔

8:34-Listen, I know this is Abt Y/N, but the accuracy this sound holds in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom almost hurts.
I remember refusing to Y/N stories because they were so annoying and senseless, I've just recently started again. Kind of still annoying, but I'm most importantly staying away from the ones about actual people. Creepy af. Also, I love Y/N slander, I had issues but these stories took the cake.
These make me laugh because I have read both horrid and amazing Y/N stories. I’ve seen so many “We need Y/N x Reader” comments it’s hilarious.
8:20 PLEASEEE THE MIRACULOUS THEME SONG SENT ME---
FRRRRRRRR😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All I want is a Y/N that can act like a normal person in their own way (Is that what you call it?). No tragic story, no luxurious lifestyle, no dramatic entrance or any cringy "problems", and no dead parents GOD!! Just a simple life but it's a good one that makes some people jealous because of house lovely their life is they don't need to prove anything or to find love for the sake of finding love and they don't need to do reckless things just to get validation, like they don't give a dang and goes away from all the drama happening out there. Is there any fanfic where the "Y/N" is like that?
oh yeah, OH YEAH!?!?!
well I want mine to be FUCKED UP AND EVIL just a horrible thang
So I’m an X reader writer, and I think one of my biggest pet peeves is only making a female y/n. I am personally non-binary and would love to see some more representation. Plus, it really ruins a book when a character is canonically gay/lesbian/bi/ect but it’s only with a female y/n (excluding a lesbian character, it’s always with a male reader for once)
As an x reader writer too, I really wanna write a non binary y/n, but the problem I have is I get nervous I'll get something wrong or represent y/n as a character, and everyone who is reading the story and is non binary, wrong.
I'm not non binary so I don't know the kinds of struggles and oppression you all deal with. But I am learning a lot more.
For now I'm just sticking with y/n being a female, but with mostly she/they pronouns. And a very vaguely described, or not even described at all, kind of style, fashion choice, etc.
It's kinda fun honestly
@@user.LCW01 just use the gender neutral pronouns as it can be used for everyone (that's literally why they exist) and try to use as little Genderring terms as possible (the only exception is if the reader character is shown to be explicitly alright with certain terms. Like how I, a transmasc, hate "femine" terms but don't mind getting called pretty)
as a fanfic and x reader writer. I got too sick of fem! reader that I decided to make practice oneshots with male or gender-neutral reader. I also started writing genderfluid reader (since I wanted some representation)
"I would like to see more representation" - urban white girl
@@blacktigerpaw1 they're literally nonbiney.
The issue with y/n and reader fanfics is that they're written to be so out of touch with a normal human, and so distant to who may actually be reading the fic that y/n is essentially more of an oc or the creators self insert rather than somebody the reader can project themselves onto. Especially when the creator makes y/n wear clothing that looks like she dug to the literal bottom of her local dump.

as soon as smut comes on: Did I miss a chapter?
Perhaps we missed 1 chapter, 2 movies and 30 spinoff episodes 🤔

Ikr??? I've been silently complaining about this for years 💀😭
I'm so sick of it lmao
I love how many people slander (Y/N) for being 5'2, bullied in school, messy hairbun type, dead family members, etc.
But based on my experiences as a writer, I will write those things about (Y/N) if and only it is relevant to the plot, if it is not, then I will just let the readers pick what they want (Y/N) to wear or look like. Just let the readers see their actual selves in the story other than some stereotypical character that wears things, looks and what they are that isn't even relevant to the plot.
I like that but the annoying part of is y/n being 5'2 all the time it's annoying 😐😒
It's Never enough tall or taller y/n in fanfic 😭
like for example:
y/n was bullied in school because she had a scar on her arm which basically relates her to her past life how she died and about her powers and shit like that-
and messy hair bun type wtf does that gotta do with any plot or story?!??
As someone who’s trying to find out how to make a good y/n story, the do’s and dont’s really helped!

28:00 While i agree with most of this i disagree with the "have y/n take meds to help" and "dont have it be self diagnosed" cause not every person with genuine depression has access to getting meds or a diagnosis.
Sometimes ppl dont have healthcare so they cant go to a doctor, sometimes ppl cant afford meds, sometimes ppls parents suck and dont want to get them diagnosed.
No I'm not saying you shouldn't put diagnosed and medicated depression into your story, cause you should! I'm saying don't demonize those who can't get meds or aren't able to get a diagnosis. Sometimes self-diagnosis is all a person can get and we need to stop saying self-diagnosis is bad just because some ppl end up being liars.
Infact if you have a younger teen y/n its much more realistic to have their depression go unchecked since only a small percentage of that demographic actually gets checked or medicated for depression.

okay, i dont have a full story (but i'm working on one) so, its like, male y/n lives with his mother ( big shock, he actually has parents) and his younger sister. They live kinda in the woods, away from people.One day, male y/n decides that he needs a break from his house, so he decides to get some fresh air, and go on a walk. After he walks a bit, he decides to let all his feelings out. It starts out as kicking rocks into trees, followed by soft sobbs, that leads to a yell/scream so full of emotion, someone could make an entire headcannon from it.
