Fandom terms have to sound silly, like blorbo or squick, because fandom needs humbling. Not a lot. But just every so often you need a good grounding reminder that all of this is literally made up nonsense for fun.

If you take a fictional thing so seriously that silly words genuinely annoy you, you've gone too far and you need to dial it back.

When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

you can draw any character fat even if they aren’t drawn that way in canon. including women. and you don’t just have to draw the shy reserved woman as fat you can also draw the woman who is confident in herself and her appearance as fat too.

being alive in a way society doesnt understand kinda sucks, most people either don’t get plurality or see it only as an entirely pathological experience. My plurality isn't just a diagnosis, it is who i am, even if it came from trauma, that doesn’t change the fact that it has deeply shaped my whole identity. Its not something separate from me; it is me. I view my alters largely postively, they are my family and allies and they help me every single day. Yet despite it making up so so much of who i am, I feel forced to hide it. The stigma is real, and the risk of being judged or treated differently is always there, I could very well lose opportunities just by being open about this because people are so scared. Recently, I've split new alters who are very overt, they refuse to hide themselves. At first, that terrified me. But now? I think it might be a good thing. The people around me are reacting so much better than I expected. Maybe I dont have to hide as much as I thought. Still, theres that fear. What if people judge us? What if we make them uncomfortable? The weight of these thoughts is exhausting. I dont want to keep hiding just to fit into a society that wasnt built for people like us. Please can we work to normalise and destigmatise this experience!!!

I’m gonna go ahead and rant real quick. I’m a fanfiction author, and I’m constantly looking for ideas I like. A lot of those ideas come from prompts, or tumblr posts, or other fandoms, or existing tropes.

Sometimes, fics already exist in those tropes.

So here’s my apparently “unpopular” opinion: I like reading fics of the same trope. If there’s a fic where they’re famous actors and they fall in love that I enjoy, I want four more slightly different ones. If I’m writing a fic where one is catfishing, I want to read the trope in at least four other fics like???

I like to see other authors’ take and style on common tropes. Just because one fic in a trope exists doesn’t mean the trope is off limits for the fandom. Far from it - take a chance with that trope. If you’re worried you’re too similar, mark it inspired by. You’re not going to copy someone exactly, and you could have an interesting spin on it. I want that spin to exist.

If two fics of the same trope can’t exist, I might as well delete over half my fics, including some of my most popular. It’s discouraging to hear people drop ideas because something like it exists - or even maybe exists.

tldr; more than one fic can exist within a trope or prompt in a fandom and be good fics. Please write whatever you want, even if something similar exists. Someone (like me) will read them all and enjoy them all.

Anyway, fellow sex-repulsed aces with moral OCD that might be triggered by the "you MUST be horny and write porn and be sexual or else you're functionally a conservative" wave on this site, because I know it's making mine act up something fierce:

No you don't

Your discomfort with sexuality and sexual themes is morally neutral and does not make you even remotely similar to Moms for Liberty

Porn is not the only thing they're trying to censor

Porn is not the only thing they're trying to censor

One of the most challenged books of the 2020s so far is Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, a memoir of a trans AROACE person

You do not need to write or draw things that trigger you to be a politically progressive artist

You do not need to be sexual to be a good person

You have stories that need to be told too, and your stories are as vital to fighting censorship and protecting free expression as any other queer story

We're all in this together and together is the only way we're all getting out of it
