A type of fanfiction where the reader is the protagonist.
Most of the time involves romance between the reader and the other characters of the story.
The other characters are often anime characters , vocaloid or any sort of character that people are interested in.

They're mostly for female readers, but some of them are for male readers, or just for both.

They could be normal x readers, so they don't involve any sex, or nudity; lemon so they involve complete sex ; lime meaning that they involve light sex; fluffy so they involve incredibly cute relationship, without sex. Just hugs, kisses or whatever you think it's cute in a relationship.

They sometimes involve suicidal themes, depression, death and such. But if there is something like this.. they say it in the title.

There is a really, really, really small amount of x readers where there isn't love. Just friendship.

You can find them mostly on Quotev, DeviantArt , ArchiveOfOurOwn , Wattpad and other fanfiction websites.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
