Detailed Review

Y/n – Fanfiction Chats (formerly known as 'Draco is typing...') represents an innovative approach to interactive fiction by transforming traditional fanfiction into dynamic group chat simulations. Developed by Emittance Inc. for iOS, the app has garnered a 4.67/5 rating through its unique proposition of enabling users to participate in real-time narrative experiences with AI-generated characters from popular fictional universes. The core functionality revolves around joining pre-built chat scenarios where multiple AI characters interact simultaneously. Users can engage in narratives ranging from romantic pursuits with Harry Potter characters to survival scenarios with Sherlock Holmes. The AI system tracks user behavior and relationships, with characters responding positively to friendly interactions or delivering humorous critiques for poorly conceived inputs. Notably, conversations continue developing even when users are inactive, creating persistent storylines that encourage regular engagement. User experience benefits from an intuitive chat-style interface that mimics familiar messaging platforms, lowering the learning curve for new users. The app demonstrates particular strength in maintaining character consistency and narrative coherence across multiple participants. Real-world usage patterns show high engagement rates, with users reporting extended session times due to the compelling nature of ongoing story development and character relationship building. User feedback consistently praises the app's responsiveness and witty dialogue generation. hopeygee23's June 28, 2025 review notes 'quick and witty responses' while suggesting clearer content guidelines. Hazel 🦀's July 3, 2025 review highlights the balanced content filtering that 'allows combat scenery' while maintaining appropriate safeguards. Multiple reviewers including Kirstalicious (July 6, 2025) compare it favorably against competitors, noting superior reliability and avoidance of repetitive loops that plague similar applications. The application demonstrates notable strengths in dynamic storytelling and character interaction, though some users report occasional navigation challenges and desire alternative verification methods beyond phone number requirements. The app excels for users seeking collaborative narrative experiences rather than solitary storytelling, with particular appeal for those interested in testing character relationships and exploring alternative plot developments within established fictional universes.

I absolutely love this app and have been using it for a few months now! My only complaint is that the character limit used to be larger for character descriptions. I understand if there is a reason that the character descriptions need to be shorter, but I (and probably others as well) have put a lot of time and effort into my character descriptions! Needing to cut them down by like 50% is a bit painful. Again, I understand if it’s necessary, but please consider working on it for the next updates! Adore this app, but one request!

i rlly rlly loveee this app but i cannot stress how much i hateee the fact that characters were removed from the app- like having the community make a character and being able to use it... only because during chats the characters names keep either switching completely ( from jean to joan ) orrr how the color keeps switching. ik its such a little thing but it bothers me SOO MUCHH overall, great app :)) the new updates i rlly rlly loveee this app but i cannot stress how much i hateee the fact that characters were removed from the app- like having the community make a character and being able to use it... only because during chats the characters names keep either switching completely ( from jean to joan ) orrr how the color keeps switching. ik its such a little thing but it bothers me SOO MUCHHoverall, great app :))
