It has come to my attention that my writing has upset a few people for various reasons. I was sent this (likely now deleted) post from a friend, and this blog, @some-piece, I believe has blocked me due to my story.
I’m refuse to sit here and take any level of slander for my work. To start, I have always heavily tagged and warned for anything that is sexual or triggering. For this story, it is labeled in multiple ways:
As you can see my masterlist is organized by the character in the story, has an emoji dictating the type of story it will be, and an overall warning that all TW will be labeled on each individual post. Next, when you click on the story from my masterlist, it shows a brief description and an extensive list of trigger warnings. If this came up on your feed and not from my list, the story itself is under the cut, but nothing graphic occurs until multiple paragraphs down so you would not accidentally see anything triggering if the cut did not work.
As you can see by the last picture, I have heavily tagged my story with the proper hashtags, showing who is involved in the story and what topics are covered, so if you searched for a character and those other tags pop up, you should not read it if those topics are triggering.
Now to address the post from that user:
This is in no way a comfort fic, as you can see by the tags, title, labels, category, etc. This is not advertised as comfort, fluff, or anything positive in the slightest.
Second, I do not hate Law, I do not think he is a bad character at all, I actually love him dearly and he was one of my first one piece crushes when he was first introduced. I have his Jolly Roger sticker on my car, I’ve cosplayed him on multiple occasions, I have a pin of him on my backpack, we share the same birthday, I have nothing against his character at all, he was included in this story as a surprise twist/ “good people can be bad” cliche. (Hence the title of “he would never do that”)
It is just a story with fictional characters, I am not accusing a real person of anything mentioned in this fic. This story is not listed under his name on my masterlist because he is not the “main character” involved and I wanted it to be a twist, but that’s why his name is tagged multiple times, to inform he’s involved but to avoid spoilers for the plot.
I write what I want to write. As a rape and assault victim myself, I will write about whatever I damn well please on my own blog, but to avoid triggering others, I overly tag and warn to be sure the reader feels safe. Just because someone self-ships with a character doesn’t mean no one else gets to write about them. If you do not like seeing your self-shipped or comfort characters in depressing stories, do not read them. You do not have to like me or my work, but don’t you dare say that I’m an idiot and a bad person because you fail to read warnings.
