nothing spikes the cortisol quite exactly like sharing an opinion that differs slightly on twitter dot com

fandom ultimately is and always has been a gift economy. if you don't go into it knowing you might get nothing back, i mean this, for your own sanity: don't do it.
people who don't contribute anything to the fandom (don't create artwork, fics, or support writers and artists) do not deserve to have an opinion on how the work is shared, and at this point don't even deserve the access to any of it. this will kill all fandoms.

i would adjust by encouraging people to talk about fics on twitter or other socials, which for a lot of fans is their native habitat where they talk about what they like. but then if i understand correctly it's a faux pas to namedrop on social media?

the more i think about this the more it feels related to the way these platforms encourage us to amass followers rather than make friends.

for anyone struggling with the whole “fanfic writers don’t own their works” concept, i strongly suggest reading this legal article, which explores the blurred lines between copyright infringement, derivative works, and the rights fanfiction writers may hold over their own original contributions. there is a fundamental difference between owning the intellectual property your work is based on and holding rights to the original writing you’ve created. fanfiction writers do not own the characters or worlds they borrow, but that does not automatically mean their own creative contributions are devoid of copyright protection. the distinction matters. digitalcommons.lmu.edu/cgi/v…

Replying to @emyjaegerbmb
I'm realizing way to many people went into writing fanfiction thinking it worked like influencers and content creation. Fanfiction is for fun. Not attention, not engagement, not for profit. It's for love a piece of media enough to write your own twist and if people like it cool.

so my shit is on here and yours probably is too if you've published to ao3. they are republishing in multiple formats and using AI to turn fics into audiobooks that they then make profit off of if people choose to buy we got rid of the guillotine too soon
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵
