I have done a lot of thinking on the entire zero cycle situation. Like A LOT.

Yesterday I had been out exploring a new city with my family on vacation, I had downloaded bad bad news onto my phone so I could read it while we were in the car. (And I did just finish it and it was phenomenal. But there is guilt eating at me for having the downloaded version. I feel like I should be deleting it out of respect almost. So im curious as to what thoughts are on this.) ANYWAY yesterday I came back to my hotel with a message from a moot about the situation. Then I check roses account and I am left devastated. I wanted to cry.

I loved zero cycle. It's my fav fic. Ever. As well as a lot of others. So hearing this news was fucking awful. Rose was an absolute doll and didn't deserve this.

BUT

It was not only necessarily because I just lost two of my fav ever fics and a few others I had just been planning on reading, but because rose lost them.

It had been her escape. She had put so many hours into those works. From planning, writing and editing. Then the reception she got from every single one of her works was incredible.

She had become THE f1 rpf writer.

She got more people into MCSR through zero cycle and vice versa. A joint in fandoms almost. It was really nice and fun. She had just days ago released the first half of zero cycles sequel.

But this is why we cant have nice things.

It got too big. And people got too comfortable. Too disrespectful.

RPF NEVER REACHES THE REAL PERSON!!! repeat after me

RPF NEVER REACHES THE REAL PERSON!!!RPF NEVER REACHES THE REAL PERSON!!!RPF NEVER REACHES THE REAL PERSON!!!RPF NEVER REACHES THE REAL PERSON!!!

Mentioning zero cycle in oscars comment section is fucking gross. She explicitly states to NEVER mention her works outside of fandom spaces.

Guess what insta and tiktok and Twitter is not? A FUCKING FANDOM SPACE.

Stick to tumblr

We already had people very wary after Ferraris pr video of lewis and Charles literally READING THE SUMMARIES OF FICS ABT THEM.

After that the author locked their fic thankful, WHICH I HEAVILY ADIVISE EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME THING!!!!

but now it has happened again. Except this time its OUR fault. WE did this one. Because it is people who are here reading this fic and disregarding the authors wishes. Not someone from pr doing this. Not an outsider. Us.

An amazingly talented author who was a favourite of so many, including me, lost their favorite author to this.

But more importantly. Rose lost out the most. The thing she had been doing for nearly a year now is all gone. She has had to remove herself from the equation entirely. It's not how it should be but its how it went down.

And then the AUDACITY to send her death threats over this as if it were her fault? YUCK EW GROSS WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM??!!

I can turly not even begin to describe how disgusting this is.

I 100% stand by roses descion to leave entirely. I think anyone reasonable could understand that. If she were to come back I hope she would be treated a whole fucking lot better then this. But I highly doubt she will because of this. And I deeply respect that.

And unfortunately its likely not the last time this will happen. People just don't fucking get it. They don't give a shit. And there always had been these people and there always will be but its gonna SOOOO far. No one respects the rules of rpf anymore.

I've seen a few people consider what rhey want to do about their own fics. Popular or not. People dont feel comfortable sharing their works anymore because this is happening. I am even considering it.

WE ARE KILLING CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

so, with all of these messy thoughts out, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HAVE SOME FUCKING HUMAN DIGNITY

im pissed and exhausted of having to constantly say this. If you aren't respecting these rules you dont deserve to be here.

It's supposed to be an escape. Something fun. A form of expression. A hobby. Now we aren't allowed to have that anymore.

*note: I am tired and am not editing this over so its a bit of a mess and stuff but I needed to get these thoughts out. If you dare disagree with anything said, fuck you. I might make more separate posts abt any other thoughts. Im just a little speechless right now.

whole house mad 💀😭

hiya ! I'm a bit new to tumblr and the whole concept of rpf really , and I had started reading a few fics here and there , and had seen zero cycle being mentioned quite a lot so that was on my to be read list . what exactly happened that ZC is now off the internet ? I saw you posting a lot about how people not knowing rpf boundaries are the reason this happened , so could you please explain whaat boundaries were broken by people for this to happen ? i wanna read rpf and defo dont wanna be an idiot in future who breaks these unwritten rules and causes so much distress . Thanks in advance !!!

hii! I'll explain to the best of my ability- I'm a bit new to rpf myself (i don't write, i know, rare) but i think once you grasp the basics the rules are pretty simple <3

so the whole point of rpf is that it should stay in rpf spaces (ao3 and tumblr), because the whole idea is that it's for fun, but ultimately is about real people, so it's just a generally acknowledged piece of fandom etiquette that rpf shouldn't be discussed outside of rpf safe spaces .

what happened with ZC was somewhat of a fandom crossover, with rpf fans sharing it with MCSR fans on twitter, which took it out of a safe space and ultimately ended up with it being brought to the attention of real people mentioned in the fic (eg. Tubbo) , and people going so far as to mention it in Oscar's comments.

This (the possibility of the fic itself being shared with the drivers) then became so much of a weight on the author's conscience, along with the disgusting hate that she was recieving, ultimately ended with her deciding to remove the fic, and sadly herself, from the internet .

so yeah, keep rpf in rpf-safe-spaces and you should be fine <3

sorry for the rant, but hope it helped !!

(if anyone wants to add anything PLEASE DO, i probably left a few things out xx)

(this post by @falenalunare explains it perfectly)

this is. Truly one of the worst days of my life. One of the most beautiful pieces of literature has been taken off the internet because people cannot contain fandom and rpf the way it needs to be. I hope everyone who participated in bringing zc to the knowledge of streamers and real people involved in it feels satisfied with what they've done. A source of comfort for so many people, which could've been truly cherished and loved the way it always deserved to be, is now gone, leaving us with no knowledge of when it may be back, and most importantly, leaving irreparable damage on the author's conscience. Hope everyone is truly happy with themselves. I will be sobbing forever.

@evilgustofwind no apologies can suffice. Please know you have our full support. You, the real person behind the worlds you created, are far more important than any fanfiction, no matter how impactful or influential. Please don't feel guilty, please don't feel any remorse, or any sort of negative feelings towards this, you are really a special person with so so so so so much talent, you are a treasure.

I hope sometime in the future you can feel safe enough to return. Until then, all my love 💗

so what are people going to do when everyone stops writing rpf because some of you can’t follow the most simple, basic rules of fandom etiquette, and keep it IN fandom? what are you going to do when nobody is creating for you anymore? is that how far it’s going to have to be taken? you have to realise that when it comes to rpf, they are REAL PEOPLE. it’s not cute or funny to alert those people to fiction written about them, especially when we as authors specifically request that you don’t. this is absolutely the sort of thing that will kill rpf fandoms for good.

mister-skyblue

fandom etiquette is dead, and it's killing our writers

#f1 rpf #zero cycle #im genuinely disgusted #inconsolable about this its so awful

when Oscar wins grill the grid this season I'm gonna celebrate like it was the wdc. #don't care. bring out the champagne

George Russell fans resorting to full-naming Torger Wolff (derogatory) because he's being hella sketchy is so funny to me

#george russell #f1 #toto wolff #not just funny its TRUE

i dont even have twitter so imagine my shock when i tried to refresh ao3 to reread the zc sequel just to find the fics deleted. I am honestly so pissed that people cant just stay on „fandom“ sites like tumblr wtf. i feel so bad for the author too. I hope that she can still enjoy writing at least privately, she is way too talented :(

mister-skyblue

KEEP RPF IN RPF SPACES

cannot stress this enough

#i had some other fics of hers also bookmarked #its so annoying that people just HAVE to go to twitter and instagram #zero cycle #f1 #landoscar #ao3 #but this also counts over all #just dont do that guys #keep rpf small and away from twitter

can we all just collectively acknowledge that @/evilgustofwind (not properly tagging cause lord knows she's got enough on her plate rn as it is) is an incredible writer and a lovely person ?

i feel

so gutwrenchingly awful for her

#f1 #f1r rpf #zero cycle #landoscar #a genuine shame #so so so angry about the disgusting behavior from certain people

ienjoythebutterflies

my mom keeps asking me “what are you writing on that computer all day” and all i can say in response is joke and say “words haha” because i’m a terrible liar

like what am i supposed to say “hey i’m so sorry mom but you know those millionaires that i like to watch drive in circles every weekend. yeah the ones that got engaged and are in healthy relationships and having kids. so basically i’m writing them falling in love with each other in the most gay way possible and fucking each other nasty… yeah”

81-op

This is exactly what I tell my mother but now she's got a very skewed perspective of what fanfiction is so anytime I read/write fics she's like "ah yes, porn" and im like sitting there actively sobbing/hyperventilating and I just have to be all "yep totally, just porn and didn't destroy me at all"

mister-skyblue

tried to explain what i was reading once* to a friend and now every time im on my phone within his immediate vicinity he'll lean over and go

"ah, reading PORN again are we?"

and scare everyone else within a 5-mile radius shitless

(*ironically i think it was something @81-op wrote which makes this so much worse 😭)
