RE: Halloween. I always stock up. So, I gave this kid a tangerine and also like 3 pieces of candy and a mini rocky bar. He loudly complained: ‘Oh, great. I got A TANGERINE.’ He was so damn rude. (His mother hushed him.)

Man, some kids really hate tangerines, I guess.

Not to sound like an elderly duchess from Downton Abbey, but I was kinda offended by that kid.

Halloween Etiquette is a thing.

amarsinterests

Sharon, you gave a child a plant. What did you think was going to happen? Also, not everyone likes fruit. I, in fact, dislike most fruits. There is Halloween Ettiquette and you broke it.

Honestly, don’t know about anyone else, but where I’m from: tangerines are one of the traditional things you give out. Like peanuts.

Also: I gave him other stuff. Could he not have focused on the candy and chocolate bar?

Do NOT trust Anne Rice

Hello, Vampire Chronicles fans.

Sit down. We need to have a chat.

You see, while some people are very much excited for a new show about our pompous king of the assholes (and I say this as a term of endearment, having loved Lestat since I was a depressed teenager living in New York, shuffling through my mom’s fiction section) we need to pause and remember this:

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

Read it again, slowly.

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

This is difficult for younger fans to understand, but let’s take a walk down memory lane.

She has threatened to sue writers in the past. She is one of the most prolific writers of our generation, and she does not support people using her characters for their own work.

In fact, in 2000 she went on a binge-attack against her fans. She threatened legal action against fans who wrote or drew her characters, but especially those who wrote with them. She sent them weeks of harassing letters and doxxed them on the internet.

Let me repeat that.

She doxxed people who wrote fan fiction.

She harassed them online and threatened to contact employers.

She used her fans to outright attack other fans.

This isn’t even something she can just shake off now, with the comment of “It was so long ago” because she did this to a writer who wrote commentary on her story in 2013.

In 2013.

While it was not that she wrote fan fiction, she still shows that she has no respect for people who are in fandom.

Remember those disclaimers used in fan fics, at the beginning? “I do not own …. ”? Yeah, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Anne Rice and others like her would attack fandoms and threaten them, and was in hopes that they would just leave us alone. She didn’t.

In short: Do not trust Anne Rice. I love her writing, I have read every book she has even written, but I do not trust her.

You shouldn’t, either.

northstarfan

Anne Rice was and still is a bully. Don’t support her work.

interstellarlovebot-deactivated

Huh

kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201

Don’t not take this seriously either. She hunted down fan fictions on small privately hosted web pages as well. She doesn’t care if you put the disclaimer in the top.

She hates fan fiction and WILL try to sue you. DO NOT think this is a joke, real people received real legal paperwork from her. And this happened about ten years ago, so it wasnt a super long time ago.

eilowyn1

Anne Rice isn’t the only one in this club. Diana Gabaldon has compared fanfiction to putting her characters into “white slavery.” George R. R. Martin has also spoken out about fanfiction, but Rice takes the cake for rejecting any criticism of her work along with banning any and all fanfiction based on her work.

However, according to copyright law fanfiction is considered a transformative work, and therefore is considered fair use.

Support the Organization for Transformative Works, who “serve the interests of fans by providing access to and preserving the history of fanworks and fan culture in its myriad forms.”

inkandcayenne

That Amazon review was, like, the most hilariously amazing thing to ever happen in fandom. I wasn’t even in Anne Rice fandom, I’m not sure anyone I knew was, but it caused glee far and wide. “Interrogating the text from the wrong perspective” became the go-to catchphrase but, I, for one, think nothing matches the utterly batshit beauty of “you have strained my Dickensean principles to the max.”

gehayi

Annette Curtis Klause, Robin Hobb (who also writes as Megan Lindholm), and Robin McKinley likewise take issue with fanfic. In “The Fan Fiction Rant,” available in its entirety on Fanlore.org, Hobb refers to fanfic as “identity theft.”

randomingoftherandomness

Do not let fandom history be forgotten. Always remember. Always pass this on.

zinglebert-bembledack

Anne McCaffrey was the same, to the point where she told fans that they could write in her worlds, as long as there was no gay stuff ™.

For real. She told them that.

I’m such a fandom old I remember Wendi and Richard Pini going out of their way to make their characters accessible to fans, but still telling them they had to slap three paragraphs of carefully written disclaimers all over everything. Like, even for fanart. You wanted to draw Cutter and Skywise doing the do? You had to put that disclaimer on it somehow.

AO3 and the current creator-reactions to fanfic are so, so very new. Don’t ever forget how privileged we are to be here.

And NEVER trust Anne Rice. She batshit crazy, fam.

veronica-rich

Yeah, but am I the only person who kind of wants to see the Interview fic ramp up anew just to watch Rice come up against the gargantuan that is Hugo Award Winner AO3’s legal team?

ghost-hermione

Just reading this again and… how come Anne Rice was not counter-sued for the doxxing and shit? I mean I know none of us have money for this but it’s harassment, the police has to take your complaints. And when there’s 10 harassment cases against the same person… shit SHOULD happen

wordsaremylife

Right. This is why I love Neil Gaiman, who understands that he and Sir Terry may have given birth to these characters, but they are all grown up now and beloved by so many, that he allows for and even (bestill my heart) encourages fanfic and art, headcannon and shitposts. Because once your children are out in the world, you have no control over them. You have lived them and nurtured them, but they can and will go their own way. And without the fans, your books are worth exactly mulch (to put it nicely). I hope one day when I get off my scared-ass butt and publish, my babies will be so beloved that others will fight over the way they see them.

“She remembered the lead ammunition in her pocket and offered it to him “your balls, Mr. Darcy?” He reached out and closed her hand around them, and offered, “They belong to you, Miss Bennet.””

acti-veg

Just a head’s up, when meat eaters say things like “I’m glad you’re not like most vegans you’re cool about it” what they really mean is “I’m glad you’re silent about animal cruelty so I can eat animals without having to think about it.”

radicalduck

No actually what they likely mean is “I’m glad you’re not like PETA and compare women’s bodies to beef and pork” or “I’m glad you’re not the type of asshole who blames poor people for not being able to afford healthy vegan foods instead of getting upset at the grocery chains who throw out tons and tons of perfectly good produce”

tr1angl3

see also: “im glad youre not one of those vegans who compares the meat industry to the holocaust”. anti-semetic, sexist, racist, and classist rhetoric is unfortunately quite common among vegans and it’s disingenuous as hell to act like having an issue with that is silencing vegans.

emotional-karuma

Also “I’m glad you aren’t one of those vegans who thinks I should put my health on the line”

spacemomalex

“I’m glad you don’t harass me over my life choices because you’re a decent fucking human being who realizes that throwing humans under the bus so you can have an ego trip is a shitty thing to do”

cephalopodvictorious

Also: I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans who lies about what’s in food they’re feeding me when I ask about my allergens so that I don’t have to risk literally dying

hollowboobtheory

“i’m glad you’re not literally blaming global climate change on me, personally, for liking cheese while corporations dump pollution directly into the ozone by the ton because it saves them a few dollars”

“i’m glad you’re not getting on a moral high horse about animal cruelty while ignoring the human rights abuses that go into farming your vegan faves like quinoa”

theleastlunatic

THAT LAST ONE

“I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans that feed foxes, cats, dogs, and other carnivorous predators vegetables because ‘it’s better’ and slowly killing them in the process.”

i was never seen again.

vampireapologist-archive-deacti

this was the best time ever bc my host had just changed the tire and I was like “oh hell yeah an old tractor tire! you know what that means!” and everyone was like “no….” the French boys and the Norwegians were like “we dont actually” and I was like my god….I’m the only hillbilly here….it’s Up To Me

and I like to think of that as the only significant cultural impact I made.

vampireapologist-archive-deacti

everyone’s so worried about my tree trajectory but that’s the best part about rolling downhill in tractor tires: so much of the shock is absorbed by the tire so you can pretty much do anything. in theory. i’m not a doctor I actually don’t know you could probably still die. one of the guys I roped into this went over a huge boulder and went airborn for a hot second though so that was fun

A cow catching snowflakes

A calf separated from his mother, being raised in a cage for veal, finding fun and stimulation in the only thing available to him

sebbysheepie

Actually those are calf hutches. They only stay in those a few weeks. It keeps them away from the main barns and the public so they don’t get illnesses that can be prevented easily. Think of it like a newborn in the maternity ward. And those are all females. So not veal. They will be released back into a large pen when their immune systems are in full working order/. I know. It’s hard to understand farms have reasons for what we do! But keeping the animals alive and healthy is important. And it just takes a little misinformation from people that don’t know anything about animals to make other people confused. This is why you should research your topics before making up stories like this. It really is just that. A calf enjoying catching snowflakes

NSFW ban fail

Reblog if you’re still seeing porn bots despite the NSFW ban. I’m still seeing them. Plenty of legitimate followers seem to be blocked from my feed, however.
