"reading fanfiction is dumb you should be reading 'proper' books where can learn something"
me: did you know you can just read for fun
also me: actually from reading fanfiction i now know the difference an astronaut and cosmonaut (didn't even know there was such a thing as a cosmonaut) and space science and geomagnetic storms and i'm also learning about russian culture and even some russian words so fuck you
i just started reading a pike/marly/jackie fic and...
if you ai claiming witch hunting fuckers ruin fanfiction for me i will fight you
gentle reminder to leave comments and kudos for authors if you download a fanfic from ao3 to read on your kindle (or whatever)
the authors truly appreciate it and they deserve to know their art is being enjoyed when there is so much negativity and hate out there right now
personally, i leave a comment on every single chapter i read when i enjoy a fic and always leave kudos because I know how important it is for authors
don't think i've seen daylight since i started reading heated rivalry fanfics
i'm going to be so confused when season two of heated rivalry comes out
what do you mean no one's in space?
what do you mean shane doesn't have amnesia?
what do you mean svetlana doesn't know about their relationship?
what do you mean ilya hasn't had to retire due to an injury?
what do you mean they haven't publicly come out?
what do you mean yuna is alive and well?
what do you mean there's no soulmarks?
what do you mean shane can't get pregnant?
what do you mean no-one's in the mafia?
what do you mean ilya isn't terminally ill?
what do you mean they haven't adopted kids yet?
i already don't know what's canon or not so what will i be like in a year?!??
For a second my dumbass autistic brain didn’t realize you were talking about fanfiction and thought these were from the book—
can you imagine how wild season two would be if all of this happened in The Long Game ?!??
Community not Consumerism: Fandom Etiquette for the Heated Rivalry Newbies (who are on my Last Nerve)Â
First, I need to address that the only social media I use is Tumblr, a private Discord with friends, and AO3. So the fact that I know about this terrible behavior means it is bad.Â
Second, credentials. I’ve been in fandom spaces for over 15 years, creating for 11 years, and I have a Bachelors and (almost) a Masters in Creative Writing. I also was an editor on a literary magazine during my graduate classes. I normally don’t flaunt the degrees, because Good Writing comes from experience, not just degrees, but The Kids have me steamed. Â
Now on to the Issue.Â
Heated Rivalry (the show) is barely four months old, so why am I seeing fanfic authors already deleting fics and jumping ship on the fandom?Â
Because I have seen thee most entitled comments I’ve ever seen in my fandom experience. People upset that a WIP isn’t uploading fast enough. Upset that a WIP isn’t going the way they want. Witch hunting authors because a fic is too good and too long to not be written AI. Leaving unwanted “feedback” and “critique.” Upset when authors take creative license. Just straight up bullying.Â
Y’all have got to stop it or you’ll be out of fic by the end of Pride Month.Â
This kind of behavior isn’t new in fandom (see, flame wars), but the severity and amount is flabbergasting.Â
To the newbies, I am begging you to stop. Fandom is about community. Fandom community is about uplifting and supporting those around you. It’s about making friendships; creating headcanons, fic, art, and meta; and going “Look at this cool thing!” to your friends. This behavior of trashing fics in the AO3 comments, blasting authors on Twitter, and being a general all-around obnoxious human is relatively new and invasive to fandom.Â
If you are new to fandom, this behavior can and should get you ostracized.Â
When you’re new to an alt subculture, your job is to learn the history, respect your elders, and shut up when you’re wrong. Regardless of what you may believe, fandom is an alt subculture. COVID and then Heated Rivalry has shot it into the stratosphere. This kind of behavior is based on overconsumption and an idea that everything has to be built around your comfort level. Get used to being uncomfortable.Â
If you hate, hate, hate a fic, use the back button and talk with a friend. Do not tell the author in an AO3 comment. Do not subtweet or vague post.Â
And to authors? Keep blocking the assholes. Lock your fic to AO3, so if someone does comment like this you can block them. Monitor comments if you need to. And honestly, if you’re done with this behavior, delete the fic. I know it absolutely blows, but do not keep it up if it’s harming your mental health. Take care of yourself first.Â
To the authors still posting: I see you, love you, and hope you have your favorite snack for life.Â
To the authors who’ve deleted/left: I see you, love you, and hope you have your favorite snack for life.Â
To users leaving excellent comments: I see you, love you, and hope you have your favorite snack for life.Â
And if you leave these comments and have never written and posted a fic? I dare you to do it. Once you’ve put yourself out there you might find that your behavior is pretty terrible.Â

autistic experience #153: when you find an item of clothing that is pure perfection™ you have to buy several (sometimes in all colours)
*looking at myself in the mirror*
Fanfiction is supposed to be cringy. You're allowed to write bad. You're allowed to be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be self indulgent. You're allowed to be cringe. Let yourself be cringe. Fanfiction is supposed to be fun. Stop putting arbitrary rules on yourself and be free.
It is true in my heart of hearts that everyone. or at least a solid majority of people. genuinely think the inciting incident of the HuntervHollander fight is that Scott called Shane a slur. I’m being serious. There is very little that could get Hockey’s Two Goodest Boys beating each other up especially with the genuine rage Shane was displaying there. A week after the fight Shane and Scott’s agents have to force them to separately release statements that are just “I did not say something racist to one of the only Asian players in the league” and “I did not try to kill Scott because he said a racist slur to me” because the hockey community is tearing them to SHREDS absolutely convinced Scott said some heinous shit to get Shane to react like that. Which. He did. But it was a gay-on-gay hate crime and nobody was guessing that.
