Dear Apply fic writers, it's 2016 if you do anything I'm about to discuss, I'd really like you to redistribute your energy into being a little more open minded?

I click on your fic because you did a nice job of pulling me in with the title and its design. Points to you. I eat up the synopsis in 10 seconds flat ready to declare my undying love to the writer, and although I'm trigger happy and I'm about to shoot the out of the subscribe button, I calm down and go to your "informations" page, you all have where you kind of give us the 411 on what we need to know about your application, and you're giving us the golden rules and pointers. I'm going to let you in on a secret, I didn't read ! NOPE. You know what my eyes skimmed for as soon as the page loads? I'm looking for the ideal character stanza, where you go on a little rant about what you expect out of characters. Now lets step back, I'm excited about your fic, I'm fired up and already packing my arsenal full of such a character that I think might be cool to create for your charming story plot. So when my eyes hone in on that paragraph I'm praying to dear lord and jesus that I don't see those words. You know exactly what this black kpop fan is saying, that probably resonates with the other people of color.

"Korean ONLY/ HALF KOREAN OR JAPANESE/CHINESE face claims ONLY." I just sigh and look away in despair for a moment with utter disdain, I look over how great your fic was and I click out of your , and wipe the memory of ever seeing it. Every time I scroll and see your story I get this habitual sigh associated with your story and the others like it, I'm actually so disappointed and angry with you, how're you going to have the audacity to write such a good story and then completely shut out my creativity?? I'm one of those unapologetically-black-girls, who, on the journey to my age of 20 currently, I was always loving of my culture but back when I was younger and when I obsessed over fan fics on this site, I would churn out korean or japanese characters with ease and it didn't trouble me I created a character that had not an ounce of the me carved out and influenced by my culture, its completely void of that, and only reflects my creative soul and maybe a piece of myself. I look at my characters now and they were really good no matter what, but now that I have found more empowerment in being unapologetically black, embracing my skin and the culture that is vastly loved worldwide---that was created by my people, and that my people live every day, my shifted mindset does not allow me to ignore my black heritage. I can still crank out a korean character or an asian character, but once I get an idea about what character I could use in your character, shifting around the envisionment is basically fruitless. I can only hope that I one day find a fic writer that has her or his arms open wide, and welcomes my creativity, and my black character.

Just a global soul, trying to shed light on why I gotta click out 6 seconds fast as soon as I see some "asian only"--- get that out my face, catch my fly and my cocky fresh hoe.
