I need to address something serious and set a clear boundary.

I recently received a message through AO3 accusing me of transphobia due to the absence of trans characters in one specific work. For context: this piece is part of a requests-based collection. What I write in it is determined by what people ask for. I have not yet written a trans character there because I have not received a request or found a concept I feel I can handle with the care and responsibility it deserves.

The message did not stop at criticism.

The sender explicitly stated that they searched for and found my home address, and that they added my name, address, and a link to my work to a public list in order to pressure me into changing my writing. This message was sent to me directly via AO3.

That is not feedback. That is not advocacy. That is harassment and intimidation.

For my own safety and transparency, I have screenshots of the AO3 message as evidence of what was said.

I want to be very clear:

I care about inclusivity. I do not accept coercion, doxxing, or threats as a way to force creative decisions. Representation matters, but it must be written thoughtfully and voluntarily—not under fear or pressure.

I am always open to respectful requests and ideas, including those involving trans characters. I am not open to being threatened into compliance.

This is a firm boundary. Please respect it.

Currently I have reported it as spam and changed my fanfic to not allow guests to comment.

Because of of this event, I will not be accepting new requests for the time being. This is for my own safety and peace of mind.

Existing requests will not be abandoned — they will be completed eventually, just not on a fixed schedule. I appreciate your patience and understanding while I take the time I need.

(Edited) As of now I've been informed that this is a bot so please be aware.
