The beauty of such a large and diverse BTS fandom is that there are so many talented ARMY authors in our fanfic communities. As I mentioned in my post about how whitewashed BTS fanfics can be, I get especially happy when I come across POC writers. Thanks to my own reading and networks of BTS friends and writers, I’ve compiled a list of BTS fanfic writers of color as a jumping off point to explore more POC authors and content creators.
If you like thinking about fanfics in general and having deeper discussions — including those about race in fanfic — check out podcast: Fic Me Down.
Now, before I continue, I want to emphasize that by no means is this list all inclusive of every BTS fanfic writer of color in our fandom. I completely cop to preferring tumblr and AO3 platforms — and while I’m sure there are good writers on Wattpad and FanFiction.net or Asian Fics, I don’t use those platforms so I have no clue who those would be. Also, all the stories are in English and I do not include fanfics written primarily in other languages. If I (or anyone in my networks) have read enough of their work to feel comfortable recommending a fic, I will try to do that, too!
If you are a writer of color and I did not include you (or didn’t rec a fic of yours), it’s nothing personal. Sometimes, I don’t know if writers identify as POC or I just haven’t come across your fics yet. Feel free to email me with your handles and a fic to check out and I will try to add you or update when I get a chance.
If you are listed below and wish to be removed from the list, just email me and I will be happy to remove your name.
