Novels don’t have Author’s Notes
I think one of the problems which fanfiction authors face is the fact we are one of you. We are a fan. We love the work. We recognise the faults. We want to be a part of the community and contribute.
Because of this, however, there’s this mentality that fanfiction authors, who do everything without getting paid and often without recognition, owe it to people to write things the way they want it to be written.
Don’t like something in a novel? Put it down. Walk away. That’s it. That’s the end. (I mean, unless the novel turned into a craze and then it’s okay because you’re supposed to hate things that are popular, right?)
Don’t like something in a fanfiction? Let’s tell the author. In detail. Let’s be condescending about it. Let’s insult them at the same time. After all, they owe us for reading.
Not updating fast enough? Complain. Updating too fast? Complain. Don’t get the exact right details? Complain. Omg, there’s sex/death/murder and I wasn’t warned? Doesn’t matter that fanfiction gets far more warning than most. Complain anyway. Don’t want to wait until the chapter’s released which explains it all? Complain. Omg, these two characters are underage, they shouldn’t even be kissing let alone having adult conversations about sex. Complain. Loudly. Call the author a paedophile.
Pick up any novel off the shelf and there’s nothing in terms of who the author is and what work they put into the story. You pick it up, you read. There’s no notes in the middle to explain something that people might not get. There’s no notes saying “Hey, this might not be historically/culturally accurate.” There’s no warnings. It’s fiction. People get that things may not be the same in the real world. Yes, a story is expected to be at least believably accurate but it doesn’t have to be.
People don’t seem to understand personal preference vs facts and interpretation vs critique.
By all means, critique a work. People like to know if they’re getting grammar wrong, or overusing words, or breaking rules. People need to know hear “hey, PTSD isn’t quite what you think, would you like to discuss it?” or “That gunshot wound isn’t realistic, I can help”. But please understand, people who write fanfiction do so for the love of the work. A lot aren’t professional and they shouldn’t be expected to be. Do we want to improve? Yes, absolutely we do. Offering guidance and gently nudging is so much better than; “You got this wrong. You’re terrible. I don’t like it. Die in a fire.”
You wouldn’t say that to a published author. Why say to a fanfiction one?
We are far more approachable than the average published author and a lot more fragile. We don’t have publishers and editors backing up our work. We’re unproven and our egos are often not strong. Authors are given the benefit of doubt until the book is finished. Why can’t fanfiction authors be given the same benefit?

Resource: Writing About Money
No matter what genre of story you’re writing, there may come a time when you’ll have to discuss money–whether it be your YA protagonist’s minimum wage summer job, or your CEO’s business deals in foreign countries. These details might be small, but they’ll help you to stay realistic and remain grounded in the real world. Here are some tips and tricks I hope will help when it comes to writing about $$$:

If you’re writing a time period piece or a character out of time (think Captain America), inflation rates will be particularly important in staying accurate. And if you’re writing about that poor college student protagonist (a popular and relevant character lately), knowing the basic prices of goods should help you along the way.

Happy belated birthday to my precious son, Kuroko Tetsuya! You’ve grown up so much and I’m very proud of you (▰˘◡˘▰)

If you think art is easy or a lazy escape route through college then fuck you, art is degrading, it fucks with your self worth, for every 100 paintings you do, 99 of them will be shit - you just do it and hope it looks good. When you can’t project an idea from your head onto paper the way you want it, it is heart breaking and so fucking frustrating, don’t tell me art is easy because you need to be very head strong to cope with constantly under achieving in something you love
Out of every pun and play on words I’ve seen on this site, this is the one that makes me so unreasonably angry.

I genuinely wish that everyone would delete the word “Mary Sue” from their vocabulary. In its original, fanfic usage, it described a character who was, yes, usually female, but whose greatest crime was not perfection: it was twisting the story. A Mary Sue in that sense literally walks into someone else’s world and makes everything about her. Flash forward to the modern day and it’s a rare female protagonist who doesn’t get accused of being a Mary Sue, and hence worthless. Here’s the thing: she can’t distort the story if the story already belongs to her. The protagonist, regardless of gender, is awesome and interesting and has a milkshake that brings all the boys, girls, or genderfluid space pirates to the yard, because that’s why they’re the star of the story. So calling female protagonists “Mary Sue” is sexist, belittling, and reduces them in a way that is very rarely applied to their male counterparts—even when those male counterparts are just as guilty of being a little too perfect to be real.
