L/N stands for Last name, a fandom and fan fiction abbreviation.

Placeholder for the reader's last name in reader-insert fan fiction, used alongside Y/N (your name). It typically appears when another character addresses the reader formally, such as a teacher or officer.

Example: "Miss L/N, please stay after class," the professor said.

Usage notes

Part of the reader-insert placeholder family with Y/N, E/C and H/C. Common on Wattpad and Tumblr, especially in school and workplace settings where surnames are used. Writers use it to keep the story personal for each reader without assigning the protagonist a fixed identity.
