That's weird, because I've never really noticed this genre until a few years back, and I've been in fandom since 1997.

Are you referring to OC Mary Sues or this exactly?

A lot of 'zines flat out banned SI submissions, but a lot of them turned up on usenet and then the pre-geocities internet when people had to hardcode their own websites.

Calling it "readerfic" and using "y/n" both came out of Wattpad, afaik, and postdate Wattpad; I was seeing it on AO3 by 2014 or so, but it was on Wattpad (and probably ff.n) a lot earlier.

Different varieties of self-insert fic (including Mary Sues and second-person self-inserts) have been around since before 1997.
