How to be More Inclusive in Your Reader-Inserts

I finally made something for fanfiction writers to use as reference on things to avoid when writing. if you are making a reader-insert story, be sure as most people as possible can see themselves fufilling the role you want them to in your story. 

I became a POC fanfiction writer after years of feeling excluded in reader-insert fanfiction. It’s important as a job as a writer to know your audience—some of which may not always fit in your “view”.

Please take the time to read this to help better yourself in the future. I know I didn’t hit every issue, but I’m willing to update it in the future. 

I apologize if this isn’t the prettiest thing, but it was important for me to create.

[hereforarchivesake]

Giving money away

Hey everyone, I’m giving a thousand away again, I’ll pick a random reblog, i really don’t want this money, it doesn’t make me happy and I’m hoping it’ll make someone else happy

Share the love and I’ll share my money

[hereforarchivesake]

Henlo! Can have something where mccree and hanzo befriend and eventually falling for someone who is just like Deadpool with like their personality and abilities? I would appreciate it!!!

Sounds like a great idea! Do you want this to be a poly fic then?

[hereforarchivesake]

Request

@vibraniumwilled I’ll gladly do the Derek x Reader. Sorry for making it a post, I can’t reply with my writing blog. If you have any wishes or want to use a prompt just let me know :D

[hereforarchivesake]

Request Guidelines

I accept pretty much everything as long as its part of the fandom list but I have so guidelines and information that would be great if you could follow:

I always reserve the right to not accept a request or to modify a request. I know that it can be annoying but I have to be able to write it.

Please specify if you have a plot and/or gender wish because otherwise, I’ll write stuff the way it inspires me. 

I know that it sucks to wait but my uni work and personal work sadly has to come first. I am studying Creative Writing and as a result, a lot of my time is spent writing and editing personal stuff. 

Beyond that please ask me if any of your requests seem left field compared to my normal writing. (That includes: Kinks, Death, Murder, Gore and Non-con). 

If it in this area please give me an idea for what I should write as I this stuff tends not to be in my normal writing.

I do not write incest. 

[hereforarchivesake]

Hi sorry! It’s me again, I’d like the reader to be female , if ya don’t mind

No worries, and will do! It might take me some time to do because I have a lot of uni stuff to do but I’ll get started as soon as I can :D

[hereforarchivesake]

Could u do 23 and 37 from the prompt list with Sam Winchester?

Ooof this sounds angsty but let do it :D Any preference for gender?

[hereforarchivesake]

Fandoms and Request

I am taking requests for: (Just note I am very slow at writing due to Uni)

Overwatch

Criminal Minds

Teen Wolf

Supernatural

Vampire Diaries

Young Justice

Marvel (MCU)

Deadpool

DC

I take request for female, male and gender neutral readers. If you don't specify what gender you want I'll do what feels right. I do also take ships but I might not write them if I don't like the ship or feel comfortable writing about it (for example incest or non-con)

#21 “I’m pregnant”

Roadhog x (Female) Reader

She stood in front of the full-length mirror, the bump - now more noticeable than ever - pushing the fabric of her tank top to her limits. Her hands moving over it. She felt a soft smile creep up her face she, her mind wonder what the future may hold for the two of them

Almost two months without him, two months of dealing with this herself and confirmed 5 months pregnant. If she had only done the test earlier maybe he’d be by her side now. Instead, she kept looking at the mirror, her eyes wandering to the little bump, wondering how he’ll react. Their creation, growing inside of her.

Her hands start to shake as she hears the familiar rumble, indicating that her family had returned home. That he was almost back to wrap her arm around her. She quickly grabbed a sweater to combat the obvious bump, no matter how unbelievable it may be. She just needed those extra minutes, seconds even.

“You ready to see you pretty Shelia again?” Junkrat had yelled, once their little farm came into view. Only to get a mild grunt in return, but he knew he was, for the moment he saw the house their bike was pushed to its limits, speeding off. For some reason, Roadhog felt like today was something special, something bigger.

His suspicions only confirmed when he saw his pretty girl leaning against the pole wearing a sweater…and in his mind he hoped it was only that.

Junkrat took little note of her unusual attire, ready to hit the hay, so to speak. As junkrat headed into the house behind them, (Y/N) grabbed Mako’s hand, beckoning him to walk with her.

The sun was slowly setting, tainting their walk in an orange hue, making the outback seem even more endless. As the house slowly went out of few the young woman came to a halt. Eyes facing forward as she whispered, “I’m pregnant”. As quickly as those words left her mouth, she was turned around, facing, well the stomach of, her lover.

“What did you say?” his voice coming out even more rough than usual. His voice was indecipherable.  

“I’m pregnant. 5 months pregnant” she state, her voice - though still shaking - held more confidence.

They both stood there in silence, their faces cast from orange to a light blue hue. His hand made its way to his mask, pulling it off, allowing her to see the pure look of happiness. Nothing needed to be said because she knew that it will all be okay, as long as she’s wrapped in his arms.

Sick without you

#11 “I’m a lucky girl. I’ll admit that”

Prefall! Soldier 76 x Reader (Female)

Her lungs felt like they were trying to escape the coughing echoing through the hallways. The usual residents had vacated the area not because of the Plague that had infected her but for the annual celebration within Overwatch headquarters. She wanted to attend, her excitement for the event had been ever-rising over the last few weeks. Jack would be back in time for it, meaning she could finally see him again. But luck had never been on (Y/N)s side and this time illness was her form of karma. It started a few days ago. She had just gotten off the phone with Morrison, his talk about the celebration flooding her mind as she wondered what was planned for this year.

Her mind wanders back to the year before. It took place a few days after their first date. The butterflies still flying around in her stomach. She walked down the hallway the music already ringing in her ears as she hummed along. The tune of the old, as she liked to call it. It played during important celebrations and meetings, had done so for as long as she could remember. And as Jack would later inform her, it was from before the Omnic crisis.
