#18+ fandom space

[levihandynasty]

Writing a Kenny-centric fanfic rn, and I am oddly proud of it? I'm not sure it's actually good, but hell, I'm having fun!

Guys stop liking this, the fic is out, cmon.

I know the fandom is mostly adults so I hope we can all try to be mindful that these characters are children&minors in a show made for kids thanks.

Seeing olds vs youths fandom etiquette discourse breaks my heart because there's such a lack of empathy. It's literally ageism and generation vs generation bullshit playing out the same way as always, except because it's painted over with a veneer of pixel men and literay analysis we preted it's actually a human rights fight and we're justified for spitting on our juniors.

I saw a post talking about squicks, where the Fandom Youths who hadn't encountered the word before were rolling their eyes and calling it millenial baby talk nonsense, while the Fandom Olds were responding with statements like "omfg why didnt you google it you dumbass!!" As if you, Fandom Old, ever learned that word by googling it. Fuck me, but I don't remember ever googling what 'whump' meant. I learned it by having it demonstrated by the fandom figures I looked up to. For years of my early fandom life I thought 'slash' meant gore. It wasn't until I saw other fans talking about the fluffiest slash pairings that I realized it was another word for yaoi, which was the term *I* knew, coming from an anime background.

Fandom is huge but we are still a subculture, and culture is taught through interaction, demonstration, and the kindness and *patience* of your culturemates. That means listening to each other and fucking explaining shit to those who will inheret our Discord servers and our Archives, not screaming at them for being too stupid to know the stove is hot before they touch it. And it means opening your damn minds and ears, and absorbing those lessons when your foremothers give them to you. It goes both ways. It's just that this post is mostly aimed at the Fandom Olds, my peers, whom I see berating people simply for being new. Who take screenshot of tags from Youths asking what the hell Superwholock is and wail, "What is the world coming to??" Instead of answering them. Instead of teaching them our history. Their history.

Do YOU know all about every Star Trek email chain that came before you? Do YOU know all the big names of the OG Buffy circles? Xena Warrior Princess? Do you even know the most famous fics of the contemporary fandoms you never participated in? YuGiOh, Sailor Moon, Homestuck, Big Time Rush? When exactly did you learn omegaverse was born of the Supernatural fandom? When did you discover hanahaki? Why didn't you just know about it the day you made your tumblr?

We cannot fall into the curmedgeoning ways of gatekeeping fandom from the new bloods simply because they haven't been around long enough to know their own history. I've been writing fanfic for fifteen years, and I learned the Fuck or Die trope was born in Star Trek THIS WEEK. Ignorance does not make you lazy, entitled, or unworthy. It does not make you a fake fandom citizen. For fuck's sake, do you really want to be the person who says "Oh you like fanfiction? Name five tropes that aren't fake dating and there was only one bed"?

Yes, there has been an uptick in lack of etiquette. Yes there is an issue of purity policing. But correct me if I'm wrong, as it was before *my* time -- isn't that what killed LiveJournal? Isn't that why we now have an Archive who explicitly states in their ToS they won't take down content just because it is deemed offensive? This shit isn't new, and the Fandoms Youths aren't single handedly killing the kinky fic industry.

The Youths These Days are not ruining fandom anymore than I used to ruin it when, at age 14, I used to lash out at female characters for 'ruining' the gay ships. I've grown. You have grown. The Youths will grow.

But not if you alientate and refuse to teach them.

ive been in the warriors fandom for longer than a large number of its members have been alive but what that means is less that im a cool fandom mum with higher consciousness understanding of the series and more that i am going to be inherently out of touch with what the target audience and fandom majority wants out of the modern series and in the end my opinion on it is worth piss all compared to theirs

Dni "list"

I've never written a DNI list before, so it'll be short.

- if you are one of the people who have "fans of X character/ship, dont interact" anywhere on your account, please stay away from mine.

I find it silly.

I will respect you as long as you respect me.

- If you're below 16, interact cautiously. I don't post NSFW myself, but I might repost it.

My work

Links to my Wattpad and my AO3. there, I will post the exact same thing that I post here, but in a different format. (Obviously)

Linking "Mind of Its Own" as it seems to be my most well received piece this far.

Adults, DNI with this blog!

Hello hello!

This is just a reminder that I personally would appreciate if anyone over the age of 18 would NOT interact with this blog. This means no likes, no reposts, no comments. No nothing. It makes me, a minor, feel uncomfortable. Thank you!

(This was not directed at one single person! /gen)

[freckliedan]

ilysm but you literally run a dnp blog you cant respond to that poll with "im not" if youre not over attached to their uploads then idk who would be 😂 /lh

aldhslfhsldbdlfhxlfhi was wondering if someone was going to call me on that tag anon. i'm telling the truth though i'm not overattached to their uploads! i'm normal attached to their uploads. these days i'm here because i love my friends who are here & because i love being right and they're so clearly about to do something.

dnp are a legitimate lifelong special interest so i'm not like.. faking caring on this blog, i'd never do that. but i'm not like, actively hyperfixated? i'm here because it's a place i'm happy and both dnp and the fandom are super active. i absolutely haven't even watched everything posted since the gaming channel return and if i was 5-10% healthier this blog would be mostly inactive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do people not realise that a person doesn't suddenly gain full maturity and knowledge of everything when they turn 18?

“I have this scene in my head for my fic that I really love but i don’t feel like writing all of the other stuff to get to it.”

I see this comment like 5 times a day in fic writing spaces lol

a scene that you don’t want to write is a scene you don’t want to read. don’t write stuff you don’t want to read.

me, personally: wait until the scenes that get you to that first initial scene you were excited about are just as interesting as that scene too. it won’t be the first, second, or third thing you think of. if u have a scene you really want to write, write that, and keep writing only those exciting scenes that come to you. eventually you have a million interesting scenes for your fic and they become puzzle pieces for you to arrange and then eventually the strings come together and you realize you really do have an interesting way to get to that original scene, and you’re just as excited to write it, if you haven’t already written it when you were brainstorming other scenes earlier in the writing process that you didn’t even realize could carry your story like that.

I'm tempted to ask about joining a certain server but I'm also afraid of 1) jumping on too many servers at once and 2) I'm not entirely sure if this is a closed server or if they would accept new members.
