My Views on Fan Fiction

I’ve received a number of asks seeking my permission for fan fiction and fan content. This post is not directed at anyone in particular, but I feel the need to make a public statement explaining my stance. I will link this to my pinned post.

When you write Cantata or Viatica fan fiction, it’s my intellectual property you’re using—my setting, my characters, my concepts. I have no issue with linear, non-interactive, not choice-based fan fiction as long as you:

Credit my original work

Do not write/publish it for commercial gain

Exploring my world and characters through fan fiction on AO3 is permissible, even encouraged, as long as you adhere to the rules above.

What I do not permit is taking my ideas and creating a similar game out of them. This includes interactive fiction, visual novels, and/or any form of media in a similar market. Whether you monetize it or not, you’re still using my intellectual property without my permission and creating a competitive game in the same market, which is detrimental to my original work.

If my ideas inspire you to write your own world with your own cultures and your own characters that aren’t recognizably mine, then that’s perfectly fine. But if you’re just reskinning my creative property without transforming it into something uniquely your own, then I am not comfortable with that, nor do I permit it.

Remember that I am not a AAA game developer, not a corporation, not a member of a larger team. I am one woman who thought up all these ideas in my own head. Copycat material harms me on a personal level.

Fan fiction can be an excellent way to hone your writing craft and explore worlds and characters that you love. I am honored to know such fan fiction, made respectfully and responsibly, exists of my works. I would also encourage you to take it one step further and explore your own extraordinary ideas.

SANZINIONS —

I didn't want Hamza and Yalina to have a child.

I'm not saying people in dangerous jobs can never have kids. But in Hamza's case, he was a deep undercover spy whose entire identity was fake.

Every day carried the risk of betrayal or exposure. Bringing Zayan into that world didn't just add joy, it added a massive point of leverage that was ultimately used against them.

Yes, agents are human and imperfect. But when you're living that kind of life, you have to be extra realistic about what 'settling down' actually means.

A child isn't just a family milestone, it's another life that can be threatened because of you.

Idk about y'all, but it's better being safe than sorry. By the time Yalina got pregnant, he was already ruling Lyari. He had enough power to go against societal norms if he wanted to. Choosing not to have a child would’ve been the safer, more responsible decision.

The only justification I can think of is that it was Yalina’s choice. If it was his choice, I'm side eyeing. She was an adult, she knew what kind of life Hamza was living, and the risks that came with it.

But even then… most of the responsibility still falls on him.

Let me break y’all’s delulu. <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

If you’ve already realised, good. If not, here it is.

We all know Jaskirat returned home… but not really. Not Punjab, not Lyari. He looks at us like he’s questioning: which way should he go?

A lot of people have different opinions; some think he’d choose his Punjab family, others think he’d go to Vancouver to live with Yalina and Zayan. But let’s use a little logic.

For Pakistan/Lyari, he was Hamza. But for ISI/Omar and the people who caught him, the ones who knew he was an Indian agent, if they ever find out he’s in contact with Yalina and Zayan, Jameel Jamali (a Pakistani politician), then everyone is done for.

Yalina aur Zayan toh jayenge hi… saath mein Jameel aur pura spy network bhi. If Jameel gets caught, the other assets are done too.

So yes, he’ll probably never return to them.

Now about his Punjab family: what is he even going to say? That he’s alive? What has he been doing for 15+ years? That he accidentally killed Pinda... his sister’s husband? He’ll only bring back pain and bad memories.

Honestly, it’s a miracle that Yalina, Zayan, and everyone connected to him stayed safe even after Omar found out he was a spy. Warna Ravindra Kaushik ka case sabko pata hai.

To justify it a bit, it was Omar who found out, not the entire ISI. They probably assumed he was a single-network spy, and everything happened too fast, Yalina calling Jameel, Jameel calling Sanyal, and Sanyal reaching the ISI chief.

Thank you for reading my rant.

people really need to put content warnings on blurbs

like just because you are doing it for fun and it’s just a small little thing you wrote up doesn’t mean you don’t have to put a cw - noncon, cw - dark themes, cw - smut on your posts

I'd tie you up and you use my lamp / sex toy

that is not an option for you 🫡

I'm not sure if people think this is flattering or something, but being told that some random stranger on the internet wants to violate me is not a compliment. Hope that helps!

Not me lying to my boss, saying I can’t go to an event, because I have to leave the country on October 18th. But it’s actually because I have to watch WrestleDream.

please don't ever send anon hate

Please it could literally be someone's last straw, it could be their final push, it could be the wrong sign they were looking for, it could be on their most special day, it could be on their worst day, it could be when they needed literally anything else.

You can not like someone that's fine. But block and move on

it doesn't matter if you're trolling, it's still hate

Block and move on
