I will never see the appeal of "you" fanfics on here. It's not really you, it's a fictional character who you pretend to be. A real "you" fic would be where you actually get to choose what the character does, how the character acts.

For example, in fics where the fictional character who is "you" is innocent, shy, and totally quiet. What if you're not anything like that? What if you're loud, obnoxious, and out-spoken? Are you still going to condone for the actions "you" do in the story? Or vice versa for a character that is loud and noisy when you're quiet and reserved? Are you going to be okay when "you" yell at someone in the fic?

But really, what makes readers want to pretend to be the girl? You can pretend to be the main character without the story even having to be a "you" fic! Isn't that the appeal of Twilight?

This is a very short, somewhat useless blog post, but I felt it necessary. I really do not like "you" fics. They make it seem as if the reader does not have a big enough imagination to come up with their own fictional situations, or to even place themselves in a fic without being told to.

Really! What is the appeal? Because honestly, all I see is "you" fics on here!
