often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

It's a moral imperative that we write more sex scenes which are

Weird

Uncomfortable

Not good for anyone involved

[knucklecurve]

people get really reactionary when it’s suggested that sad awful things can and do happen to people and that this reality can be explored through fiction

[cerastes]

Hey, I’m a random internet person you’ve never talked to before. Just making sure your fetish is morally aligned with my principles and what I consider virtuous.

this might be kind of a reach but is there a way for printers to connect to devices so that documents can be printed from them

I’ve also been in a lot fandoms and yeah, the treatment of writers in this one is particularly weird I’ve noticed. I don’t know if it seems worse because of the sheer size of the fandom or what, but everyone feels so entitled and rude. Mainly on the bird app.

i’m sure it is just the amount of people making it seem worse than it is for sure. i’ve just never been exposed to this much rudeness directed towards writers. telling people what to write, what not to write, how they should write it, publicly tweeting screenshots being like hey i didn’t like this!!! there’s a lot of things i don’t like to read about but that’s a me thing u know. :’) some things just need to stay in the group chat #ToMe

i’m 31 and i’ve been reading fanfic since i was 11 so one can imagine i’ve been in many many many fandoms. and the heated rivalry fandom is by far the Weirdest towards fic writers.

thank you gif makers, editors, artists and fanfic writers for keeping fandoms alive, we <3 you

If you have a fucked up sicknasty fanfic you've been thinking about sharing but are unsure, this post is your sign to run to AO3 and Just Do It: 1. Someone somewhere wants to read it. Even if it's only one person, that person matters

2. Your creativity matters and so does your ability to share it

3. Serial harassers in fandom spaces are beginning to express discomfort that sites like AO3 completely strip their ability to do anything about fic they don't like, sometimes going as far as leaving entire fandoms due to the influx of "problematic fiction without a chance for consequences to the author". Posting your fanworks to AO3 actively contributes to making harassers feel unsafe and powerless in fandom

4. Militant anti-fanfic content creators also cannot do anything about fic posted to AO3

5. You can post anonymously to AO3, with the ability to de-anonymize at any time

6. You can moderate comments before making them visible on your fic, restrict comments to logged-in users only, or turn off comments altogether, meaning you can post anonymously and completely turn off comments if you choose

no no no put me back in the loop I almost did it perfect please put me back just a few more tries and I think I could really nail it please put me back

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

[treecitysessions]

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

[treecitysessions]

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
