Every time I hear a defence for generative AI in fanfiction it's always about "fixing" problems that fandom has always already covered.

"I need it for writing prompts." Fandom already gives out writing prompts. You can go to places that list them, or you can straight up ask for them.

"I need it for bouncing ideas off of." That's what fandom friends and betas are for.

"I need it to help with writers block." Explore fandom, leave feedback on other people's stuff, talk to your community, you'll break out of your slump.

"I just like it for back and forth writing exercises." You can do that with fellow writers! Just ask people. You'll get so much more out of it with a real person.

"I need help with writing other languages." That's what translator betas are for. Message people in your fandom who speak the language and ask for help, there's a good chance they'll lend aid. Or make a post here, check Reddit, whatever, just explore and reach out!

All your writing problems have better solutions in fandom. That's why us olds are constantly yelling about fostering community because y'all need it. You're literally turning to fucking generative AI instead of eachother. Talk to people! Ask for help! Offer help! Enjoy fandom! Make friends! Learn a skill!

I had this (very) fluffy Supercorp idea floating around and commissioned @iwishicoulddrawheatherforaliving Gracie M for some chibi cuteness to get it out of my head :)

Couldn’t have chosen a better artist for this — such a great experience and not only did she bring it to life with her trademark humour and details, but also her suggestions enhanced everything.

If you haven’t, check out her Zhaojudicator and SC Kissing Booth recent works (slightly obsessed with them :D) (but, like, also her other works, so many styles, all so good!)

so friggin cute!

[the-femslash-wishlist]

Ever wished your fave femslash fic would be made into a movie or a series?

What if there were so many of us wishing for the same thing?

What if we formed an online community where we could share the plot of our fave femslash fics and upvote the ones we really liked?

What if the community became huge, with a multitude of members, enticing filmmakers (from film students to pros) to adapt the fics (or chapters or sequences or scenes of fics) into (short) films because there was a built-in audience for them?

What if the website was called the femslash wishlist?

Would you join this online community?

YES and I'm okay with ads so the site can earn revenue and remain free for users

YES but no ads and I'm willing to pay a membership fee* of $__ (reply to post)

YES and I'm willing to pay membership fee + fund the website launching

NO, I'm not interested to join such a community

*membership fees would give you exclusive access to discussions with filmmakers or exclusive content like bts footage or deleted scenes

This is for a postgraduate Entrepreneurship class assignment. Please reblog so that it would reach more femslash fic or f/f fic readers and writers. It would greatly help the assignment, which could change from being fictional to real if there was enough interest.

Thanks so much for participating!

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

[addressmysol]

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

[angstbotfic]

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand. 

[neil-gaiman]

Henry's been amazing for a long time.

[changelingfangs]

I realize that's what's missing from "queer" gear these days.

The absolute pride in being a God damned freak. In being something society saw as wrong.

It's all uwu you're valid and society should accept you

Like no fuck your society. Your society is bullshit and relies on oppression to create its "norms". I don't want societal norms expanded to include me. I want to blow those structures the fuck up

[dragonwolfcrane]

yeah like when people say “normalise” about everything and I’m like, I don’t care how normal it is, I just want people to stop being punished for being weird. We can either attempt to normalise everything one by one, or we can do the whole thing in one fell swoop of “so what if it is weird? Nothing wrong with a bit of weird”

"I don’t care how normal it is, I just want people to stop being punished for being weird."

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

[zandracourt]

This needs to be reblogged today.

[justsparethoughts-deactivated20]

Consenting to see adult content doesn’t mean you should have to see a bunch of shit romanticizing incest and pedophilia you walnut

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Except this is the last line of consent before the actual work. So if you’re at this button you have already done the following:

1) chosen to go onto AO3 in the first place

2) chosen the fandom you wish to read about

3) had the chance to filter for the things you do want to see like a specific pairing or a specific AU

4) had the chance to specifically filter out any tags you don’t want to see like, oh I don’t know, incest and non-con and dub-con and paedophilia

5) had the chance to set the rating level if you wish to remove any explicit content at all

6) have read the summary of the story, which aren’t always great but are the only indicator of what the story will be like writing wise so something about it was good enough for you to click on it.

7) have read the tags of the story which will tell you what is actually in the story. If you have used filters to remove stories with things you don’t want then there shouldn’t be anything in here that’s a shock to you but maybe there is. That’s why the tags are there for you to check for yourself.

8) Then you have to actually click on the story. You cannot see anything other than the summary or the tags without personally deciding that you are going to open and read this story.

9) Only here, at step number nine, do you get to the adult content warning pictured above. You have been through eight different steps, the last six of which have also been opportunities for you to see that this has adult content. And AO3 has *STILL* stopped you to ask one last time “are you sure you want to read this because it has things that only adults should see in it”.

If after this point you are reading incest and paedophilia then it’s probably because you specifically went looking for it.

You walnut.
