I see a lot of people complaining about how much romance is used in fanfics and that they want more platonic fics...but then I never see the people who complain actually start writing what they wanna read.

I get it, not everyone has the time to write, but you cant put others down for doing one of the most basic and common fandom activities.

yeah. I know I’ve said this so many times already, but fanfic is something a writer does for themself and their own enjoyment. it’s a hobby. it’s not an act of activism or any form of representation or anything.

if you (general you) want more representation of something in fanfic space, you will have to create the thing you want. for yourself.

this applies to platonic friendships, more romantic relationships between two female characters, characters with disabilities, trans characters, and any other things you want to see more of in fanfic space. since it’s a hobby and not an act of activism, if you want more of something, you will have to start creating that thing you want instead of throwing shades at other writers who create for themselves and their own enjoyment.

#exactlyyy #you want more fics with female characters or ensemble cast or platonic relationships? you gotta write em!!#i wanted more fics with a super niche background character so i just started writing as many as i possibly could #and now ive contributed over 100k to that character tag #even if i understand the disappointment with the lack of platonic fic #demanding that other people perform their hobby for your enjoyment is not the answer #HOWEVER i also really agree with the other tags saying to support gen fic if you want to see more of it #there’s always gonna be authors who are motivated to write by the feedback and attention that they get from each fic #if you want them to write more gen fic then you gotta go give some love to all the ones that already exist

I like to think that AO3 and fanfiction are a bastion against dead internet theory. Sure, there's the AI and the bots, but at its heart fandom is still a community of passionate people going "LOOK AT WHAT I MADE" and having people go "THAT'S SO COOL" right back.

So yeah. You wanna beat the bots? Make things. Comment. The internet's not dead as long as you're still here making noise.

also, while I’m here, the next chapter is over halfway done and I hope to have it posted soon (inspiration willing, bc I’ve also been falling into the Zelda stuff lately and who knows how strong its pull will become), so with luck you will have new bnsa chapters to read before long!!

alright, i'll be the one to say it. ao3 and tumblr becoming "mainstream" did so much damage to the community and the writers. i have seen loads of videos and posts about:

1. people hating on writers and fics. writing is something we do for free and for fun. if you stumble upon a fanfic that isn't necessarily your cup of tea or you just don't like, scroll. dont read it. literally leave their page. you don't know if this could be the author's first work that they're so excited about, you dont know if the language they're writing in isn't their first language, you dont know that the writer could be a literal teen and loads of other reasons. fanfictions don't HAVE to be perfect. you write what you want to write because we do it for fun and enjoyment and we want to share that to the world. seriously, what is the wrong with that?..

2. x reader consumers getting WAY to entitled. the number of tiktoks i've seen that "i run a strict program when it comes to reading fanfics." girl you aint running shit. this is FAN FICTION you're reading. F A N F I C T I O N. there is no denying that most fanfiction writes are beyond talented but just because you read one fanfic that exceeds your expectations doesn't give you the right to talk down on others that don't. people have their own personal writing style, their way of doing things and you talking shit on that isn't right.

at the end of the day, we are all humans, reading and writing is what we do and what we're meant to do. and for you to talk shit about a person WRITING is so insane. we are humans. not some robots that you can tell what to do so you can consume it.

i've seen so so many authors take down their fanfics and losing all motivation to write because of a hate comment. DONT LIKE DONT READ‼️

and to every author reading this, this community values your work and your contribution. we love u and, please, never let anyone's negative words have an effect on you.

#SERIOUSLY #while it is fun to see videos and things about fandom on bigger social medias #the overall impact and content of those videos is really unpleasant when they keep saying things like #‘cringe’ and ‘larper’ and ‘that’s not canon’#like!! yall are just being RUDE!! how did you get this deep into things and not learn a single ounce of fandom etiquette #ao3 #writeblr
