list of favorite things as a fanfic author:

When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them

when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing

when readers give me a background of why they shouldn’t have been reading my writing (usually while at work)

when readers quote my work back to me in comments

the frickin’ real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic

hey everyone posting abt The Destiel Thing could yall consider being a little more thoughtful in your wording abt dean’s reaction to castiel’s confession. if you’re going to call jensen and/or the writers out for homophobia go right ahead, You’re Not Wrong. 

but facial expressions are a thing that neurodivergent, traumatized, and mentally ill people struggle with. sometimes it doesn’t occur to you what the expression Should Be, sometimes you’re not capable of reacting fully because you haven’t processed what’s happening yet. sometimes your face just doesn’t do the thing.

like haha funny memes Gay And Homophobic but watch yalls ableism lmao.

I am: Pro-shipper/anti-anti

What this does NOT mean:

-that I support fucked up/illegal shit happening in the real world

-that I personally like/ship/write [X] thing you don't like

What this DOES mean:

-I support fanfiction authors' right to write about what they want and not get harassed

-I support "don't like don't read" and responsible tagging

-I think the slippery slope of trying to censor fandom, and literature in general, is more dangerous in the long run than minding my own business online

-You don't know an internet stranger's reasons for engaging with a subject, and you don't get to make the call on whether their reasons are "good enough".

Jonathan Fanshawe/Jonah Magnus, Explicit, 1.3k

“Are you sure?” Jonathan asked.

“It was my idea,” Jonah replied, testing the leather strap across his chest. It was pressing his breasts down in a way that wasn’t comfortable, exactly, but didn’t limit his breathing at all.

“Still,” Jonathan said, pulling the strap at the middle of the table across Jonah’s hips and buckling it in place. “I don’t wish to hurt you.”

Jonah laughed, softly.

“I don’t want to hurt you more than is pleasurable,” Jonathan corrected, not quite irately. “You’ll inform me if you want to stop?”

Jonah tapped the table three times, demonstratively. The movement was sloppy, due to the way his wrists were cuffed, but it was unmistakable. “I will.”

Mature, 1.3k, Jon Sims/Daisy Tonner

Jon was reading a Statement under his breath, lips moving without sound, when Daisy came into the room, cane in one hand, the other on the doorframe.

The room’s other chair, usually left clear for Daisy to sit in, was stacked with boxes.

“How heavy?” Daisy asked, already staring down the boxes like a matador before a bull.

Jon set the statement down. “Too heavy. Come sit with me.”

Daisy didn’t bother to argue. She leaned her cane against the desk, next to Jon’s, and perched herself on his lap.

It wouldn’t have worked before the Buried, but Daisy was thin enough now to cram herself onto the span of Jon’s thighs, like a cat into a box.

Jon shifted so she could rest her head on his collarbone, picking up the Statement again.

if you even jokingly say that someone should be killed or euthanized or imprisoned because of a character they like or fiction they write or consume... you are a terrible person.

those aren’t funny jokes to make ever, but with the current state of the world being what it is.... please read the room.

Mature, 3k, Elias Bouchard/Peter Lukas

Elias picked up The Guardian from a newspaper stand on the way to work, when the Eye, as if on a whim, directed his gaze toward the headline.

“The Loneliest Building in Britain,” he read aloud, crouching down to slide a quarter into the newspaper rack. “Oh, Peter.”

He borrowed a pen from a woman doing the crossword at a cafe he was passing by, drew an eye onto the newspaper, folded it in half, and kept walking.

My interest in the idea of queer villains–as a queer person–has gone beyond the notion of ‘a lot of villains were queer-coded in my childhood and so I found myself instinctively connecting with them’ and is now fully ‘are you tired of being nice? Don’t you just want to go apeshit?? Don’t you just want to watch the world burn a little bit in your favor???’

quick unofficial survey, reblog this and put the first fandom you read/wrote fanfic for, and how old you were, in the tags

[procrastinating-bookworm]

please discuss

hope everyone who’s making posts that go “you should write Ship A instead of Ship B, because Ship B is evil and you’re bad for liking it” knows that the only thing you’re accomplishing is making sure that the Ship B writers in question will only make more content for their ship. spite is a powerful motivator.

no one likes a bully.

(P.S. we see that “don’t bully everyone for the actions of a few people writing gross things” line that’s starting to spread. fuck off with that. you’re either willing to bully someone over fanfiction or you aren’t. no one gets to draw the line between acceptable and not acceptable without verging on censorship. make the content you want to see, and leave us alone.)
