@msfanfictioner
ah yes my favourite trope
being a writer is hard
When life gives you lemons be like “wow this fic is really old”
Canon: [breaks my heart]
Me: [angry] Fine, I’ll go to fanfiction! They never let me down.
Fanfiction: [breaks my heart but with more precision and accuracy]
Me: [sobs] Much better!
when you are on the internet, and you happen upon a ship you did not previously know existed, and you think to yourself “lol why the hell would anyone ship that”, and you go into the ao3 tag for a laugh just to see what the fanfiction ecosystem is like for this absurd new rarepair you have discovered, and you see a fic and think without a trace of irony “hm i kind of wanna read that”. that is your last chance to get out. your make or break moment. you are icarus and your wings are starting to smoulder. you need to make a decision there and then about who you are, what kind of person you’re going to be. because once you click that link there’s no going back for you. and that is a promise.
normalize creators replying to fanon shippers with “that’s great that you’re inspired to write your own version of things. keep doing that! but please respect our version of our story.”
normalize fans being reminded that boundaries between fandom and creators exist for a reason.
normalize fans recognizing their own creative potential without seeking canon validation
normalize the idea that fandom is a hobby, not an identity to threaten and fight and harass people over
normalize a healthy understanding of the boundaries between fiction and reality
normalize just chilling the fuck out lmao
We used to say in Ye Olde Fandom Times (when pretty much the only chance we had to interact with creators/actors was at conventions), “The fourth wall is there for a reason.”
It was coined to stop people from shoving explicit fanart under the actors’ noses, but it absolutely still holds true in more general contexts.
Thinking about the time I explained how male omega verse births work to my friend who doesn’t even read fanfic and just. Wait until she hears about the egg thing 😬✌️
