Hm. Your interpretation of this character displeases me. Guards! Take them away! Make them read the source material once more, and if that fails, the stocks.

nothing worse than when the premise of something captivates you but then it sucks ass. bro you put this idea out into the world and you didn't even do it a shred of justice

thinking about characters who think they have no greater way to be worth something than to suffer and die

[willowcrowned]

like you are not the savior you are not the hero you are not anyone in the story but you love the savior and you love the hero and your love will never be enough. you cannot stand on your own next to the ones you love but you can give the only thing you have, you can give it and you can love them and you can hope it means your name will be placed next to theirs. you hope it means you were worth enough in the end.

pet peeve is when fandom takes a woman character who doesn’t get enough screen time or characterization and they try to give her more but it’s always like ‘oh she’s a total badass and she NEVER loses and she’s great at every sport and she can drink men under the table and she’s super competent’ like stop 100% let that woman be a weird fuck-up. she fully runs into a door and has to go to ER. she has unsuccessfully tried to commit arson. she has shitty taste in music. she’s a normal person and not a Cool Girl

Just don’t steal his poptarts. He’s protective of those.

fanfiction is so unbelievably stupid you’ll be like oh i want to write about some finctional dudes and suddenly you’re knee deep in two hundred year old inheritance laws

a non-selective plan for the resurgence of fic commissions

[majorenglishesquire]

Too many children in the comments like ‘I think authors should be able to share ko-fi links :) it’s just nice’ and ‘OP is just a cop.’ Homie, OP is trying to keep AO3 fully functional without interruption. I will report your ass, too, because I value fic artists and our freedom of expression and my audience and our shared history far more than I value the few bux you wanna make on a commission.

It is not hard to link to your Tumblr or Twitter with a vague message like, “If you’re looking for my other works or other ways of supporting me, go here: link.” I have had people buy me coffees after enjoying my fic and asking where to support me. I threw up a link to my Tumblr and people cared enough to follow it. They were fully understanding when I explained in the comments that they could not commission me and I could not link them directly to any donation platform, but they could go to xyz link to read more. And they did! Nobody has to put AO3 directly on the firing line.

Go ahead and commission independently. Just do it anywhere else except on AO3. And then don’t come crying to the community when you, personally, get a C&D from a massive corporation.

AO3 is our bullet shield. Tumblr will pull your shit down. Wattpad won’t fucking protect you. LJ and FF.net already sold our asses for one (1) corn chip. AO3 is trying to protect us, you goddamn lemmings.

If you cannot follow the rules that protect fanspaces, you do not belong in our fanspaces.

The only people who misunderstand this are doing so intentionally and maliciously. Do yourself a favor and block the infants who think this isn’t a big deal.

Please remember that this ALSO INCLUDES FANDOM CHARITY AUCTIONS.

When you post charity auction fics, DO NOT note that they are commissions in any way. You can note them as “here is my thank you gift to X for such-and-such event” but please please PLEASE do not list them as commissions.

[ihavebeenchangedforgood]

DON’T do it on AO3. Don’t DO it on AO3. Don’t. Just…don’t.

[wingstocarryon]

Plus, gift economy > than capitalism.

It just is.

You’d be sorry if fandom’s freesharing culture went away. It’s already being threatened with fanart. It’s hearbreaking.

Community is based on sharing. Community saves lives.

Don’t commodify fic.

I understand that Jane and Thor kissing was meant to be about Jane and Thor kissing but I couldn't stop thinking about how the exact same close up camera shots was Loki and how same scenario with more emotion and

characters who refuse to heal. characters who change but only for the worse. characters who are trapped by their grief and rage. characters who unravel throughout the narrative. i am putting them in my pocket for later
