breaking news : nonbinary fiction writer and reader that bingelistens to heavy metal music found dead at a deserted gas station bathroom reeking of piss and rotten food after overdosing dark romance, wholesome fluff and heavy metal music.

AO3 Writer Affirmations:

I do not have to reinvent the wheel every time I write fanfiction

I do not have to make every chapter's word count above 1,000 in order for it to be good

It is okay if some things don't make sense

I can write whatever I want

I am writing this shit for free

If people don't like my stuff, they can block me. If they're being mean about it, I can block them.

The most important part of writing fanfiction is having fun

Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun

I do not have to appeal to people

This shit is fun

I am doing this all for free, and anyone who objects can go eat wet sand and worms from the sidewalk

[eeveearoace]

I can write the same thing multiple times

I can write the same thing as someone else

My chapters don't all have to be the same length

It's never to late to go back

I don't have to finish it if I don't want to

I can choose just to write the scenes I want to write

protect em dashes.

protect “not x, not y, but z” format.

protect short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice.

protect fanfic writers—who are kind enough to share their works with people to read for free—from ai witch hunts, speculations and accusations.

“don’t like don’t read” also applies to any fic that is ai-generated and any fic you think is ai-generated by the way. if you don’t like what you’re reading for any reason, you can always stop reading and exit the fic at any point. but harassment is never ever justified. no matter if you think you’ve found a noble excuse to do it. and also…

witch hunts, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does. if not more. I don’t want to see another innocent writer get driven away from the community because someone decides to harass and accuse them for using ai just because their fic happens to have “ai telltales” — the same telltales ai got from having been trained on millions of human-made works to mimic how real humans actually write.

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

[qcharlie]

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

[qcharlie]

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

Cool Ways to Show a Character Is Traumatized (Without Saying "Traumatized"):

• They memorize where every exit is in a room

• They check their phone repeatedly after sending a message, worried they said the wrong thing

• They freeze when asked a simple question, like they’re calculating the safest answer • They over-explain tiny mistakes before anyone reacts • They clean up messes that aren’t theirs without being asked • They listen for footsteps in hallways before relaxing • They downplay their own pain with humor or sarcasm

• They check locks more than once before bed • They leave shoes near the door, ready to leave quickly

• They wake up instantly at small sounds while others sleep through them

• They carry painkillers, snacks, or water everywhere “just in case.”

• They don’t like closed doors.

• They test people subtly to see if they'll leave

• They sit near walls or corners, rarely the center of a room.

• Loud noises don’t scare them anymore, they just go very still

• They apologize automatically, even when nothing went wrong

• Compliments make them visibly uncomfortable.

• They keep important things within arm’s reach at all times

• They watch people’s hands more than their faces

• They flinch at movements that aren’t threatening

• When someone raises their voice, they go quiet instead of arguing back • They assume blame first, even when it makes no sense • They’re surprised when someone keeps their promise • They brace themselves before asking a favor

Is fictional cheating still considered proship?

*deep breath* proship has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do what what the fic/the ship is about.

fluff and healthy fic is proship. fic that promotes christianity is proship. fic that promotes satanism is proship. fic that’s about heterosexual romance is proship. fic that’s about wholesome queer love is proship. fic about fidelity is proship. fic about found family is proship.

every single thing is proship because proship is NOT about what the fic is about. therefore ALL of these CAN also be anti ship if you choose to harass other people. so it’s about what you DO to real people. NOT what fictional things you write about in your fics.

the ONLY definition of proship is “anti censorship and anti harassment.”

that’s it. that’s all. proship literally just means “write whatever you want, however you want. censorship is bad. also don’t harass real people, especially over fiction.” at no point does it mention what tropes count as proship because PROSHIP IS AN ANTI CENSORSHIP AND ANTI HARASSMENT STANCE. it’s not about what someone writes.

if you don’t harass other people and if you understand that censorship is bad, then by definition you’re proship.

what you write about has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it’s proship.

that said, I think the word you’re looking for is “darkship” which IS about dark and taboo ships. but to my standards, infidelity is NOT darkship — unless it involves something more taboo and messed up. a ship between a rapist and their victim is darkship. an incestuous and physically abusive ship is dark ship. a ship where one of the characters locks the other one up in their basement and tortures them is dark ship. but infidelity alone, when it comes to fiction where real-life moral compass cannot be applied to it, is just drama. think of it like a rating system. while everything I’ve mentioned — a rapist x victim ship, an incestuous and physically abusive ship, a straight up sadistic ship — is rated mature, I personally won’t rate a fic that involves infidelity as mature (unless there’re things like violence, blood and gore involved), that’s just teen and up audiences.

but no. proship =/= darkship.
