for fanfic writers and readers

as a black girl who loves a lot of different movies and shows, fanfic allows me to read stories that put me in the middle of my favorite things. however, fanfic often (unintentionally) excludes girls who look like me.

i am so sick and tired of reading a fanfiction and having to rewrite it in my brain because a character description immediately implies that the reader is white. if you don't know what i mean, here are some examples.

"your skin turned pink" or "you blushed": black girls and women with darker skin tones CANNOT blush. our skin does not just turn pink

"pulled your hair into a messy bun": my 4a hair cannot be pulled into a messy bun at random. i may be able to do a ponytail if i have braids in, and i might be able to tie it up if I have an old twist-out, but a "messy bun" is often not possible.

"he ran his hands through your hair": yeah...unless my hair is in a silk press (and an OLD silk press), that's not happening

there are a plethora of other examples that would make this post insanely long, so let me get to the point. there are very easy ways to make fanfic a bit more inclusive; all you have to do is tweak a few character descriptions. OR, put in your pairing or warnings that the reader is implied to be white.

and finally: please, please stop tagging your DARK fanfictions "xblack!reader." i am tired of searching for fluff under the black reader tag and finding non-con, dark themes, etc., ESPECIALLY when the fic ends up being for a white reader💀.

the goal of my page is to create a safe space for black girls who love reading fanfiction. i am only one person, so if you'd like to help, here are some ways to do that!

send me fics (preferably marvel and stranger things to start) that are with a black reader

comment some other things in fanfics that imply that the reader is white or that make the fic a little less accessible

REBLOG FICS BY BLACK WRITERS

Why would you talk to someone for a month and then just randomly ghost them? Literally we were talking the night before then woke up and they completely went ghost. Why not communicate and say “ hey I’m not interested anymore” or literally say something rather than going ghost!? Aren’t we adults? Why can’t we communicate like adults! I’m more upset about the action of them ghosting me rather than my feelings be hurt. I do not understand men. Is it me, is it them, or is it just how dating is now? Like I fucking hate the dating world now.

Thanks for reading my rant.

How come I can barely find any Daryl Dixon stories where the love interest is a person of color, more specifically a black person? Like Daryl with a blackoc would be awesome! I just think Daryl with a person of color would make a great/ interesting story. Plus it gives people of color that read Daryl Dixon fanfics someone that they can relate to/ looks like them.

I’m just ranting but if you have any stories where Daryl is with a poc let me know!

PLEASE someone give me a Daryl Dixon x blackoc/black reader or a Daryl Dixon x poc!reader/oc!! There are barely any stories with him and a person of color especially a black person. I’m not talking about just female but for male and gender neutral. I just feel like it would create a great fanfic. I know I can’t be the only one thinking this!

Thanks for reading my rant!
