I wonder if anyone's actually written Readerfic for Yuletide.

I'm sort of squicked by, but also weirdly charmed by, the idea.

Re: Nominations Fails

Oh, almost certainly.

Depending on how strict your definition of readerfic is vs general fourth-wall-breaking or real world crossovers, I did last year.

Of course this is yuletide - there are some canons where readerfic is the thing that makes the most sense.

Isn't most interactive fiction or CYOA fic technically readerfic?

Re: Nominations Fails

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. There are also canons (especially VN and RPG canons) where the player character is a sufficiently blank slate that writing with them might as well make it readerfic.

Huh? No?

CYOA fanworks? Most of the ones I've read have been about a canon character even if told in second person.

Re: Nominations Fails

[(Anonymous)]

You've read very different CYOA fic than I have.

I think the point still stands that CYOA is just a format. Just like non-interactive fic in 2nd person POV, it can be feature a self-insert blank slate character or not, depending on what you want to do with it.

I believe people have but not in the "Tony Stark gently strokes Y/N's hair" type way. Second person literary style stuff about books, I just can't remember which fandoms.
