Replaces Y/N & other variables in Reader Insert/second person fics with words of your choice.

InteractiveFics is designed to improve your online story reading experience of second-person "interactive fiction", popular on tumblr, that most commonly uses some variation of "Y/N" to indicate where your character's name should go. If you use this extension, you can enter whatever value you want into it and it will change "Y/N" (and its derivatives, or a special expression if the writer uses another thing to abbreviate the part where the name goes) into that value on all webpages. You can also replace other, unrelated words and expressions to whatever you like. Update version 5.2.4 adds new features: - Get the entire content of the website - Edit content - Share content on social networks: Twitter, LinkedIn and post to Facebook using facebook's api just one click.

i don't read fics but was very efficient at replacing abbreviations in scholarly papers - 10/10 fr

i LOOVVEEE this extension. i recently switched accounts on my computer and was going to read a fanfic and of course, i get hit with the random name for y/n. i thankfully remembered this extension and now have it downloaded on my new account. this is my favorite chrome extension, and not only can you fill in the y/n name, you can also replace an already exsisting name, which is very helpful. ive had this extension for about 2/3 years on my other account after someone had mentioned it on tiktok and it was literally a life saver. i recommend this to anyone who doesnt like seeing y/n or if you want to change the name the author has already provided for you!
