Is this a safe space for me to say that I wish fanfic would stop getting turned into books. I have zero issues in general with fanfic authors going on to become trad published authors. Actually! I think many have the skill and deserve to share their writing with the world.
That said, I’m worried for the future of fanfic and fandom. A major news outlet recently publishing an article with links to ao3 was more than enough. fanfic used to to be a specific corner of the internet and the more mainstream it goes, the more issues that crop up with etiquette, attitudes, and fandom being a positive space.
Maybe i sound like an old hag complaining about the old days, but I simply worry.
