I've only been writing fanfiction for a few years. And I stumbled into it. I'm old. Gen X. It was still all new to me.

I found it during the pandemic and it saved me. I had no work and was homeschooling 3 kids while my husband had to stay away on site for his job. And was amazed when a story I read and enjoyed but kinda ended... funny? Only to discover it had been updated a few weeks later. That's when I realised a missing chapter count meant that. I didn't kudos or comment on the first fifty or so stories I read. Because I didn't realise that was a thing you could do either. Honestly, I just didn't know. Over time I got an account. Realised I could bookmark. Started giving kudos. And after I read everything I wanted to in my chosen ship I gave it a go myself.

I hear people talk about "the rules of fanfiction" and I know there are a bunch of unwritten rules NOW. but just because you were writing emo love on Wattpad at 13... Doesn't mean Ao3 hands out this information the first time you log on.

And Ao3 is specially designed to be inclusive. Which I love so so so much. So thanks to everyone who has been kind and lovely. This is not an end, I have one story I need to finish, but writing is not coming to me the way it was. And to those who think it's cool to be mean well... Enjoy that. Hope your anxiety medication helps calm that ball of burning fire in your belly.

Peace out.

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

I just feel that we as a fandom moved on too fast from these pictures...

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.
