most of my AO3 comments are really amazing but every now and then i'll get one that is just wildly entitled

like someone just wrote a comment on ch38 that's like "please have them get together soon i don't want to wait. also [x] needs more character development." ??? bitch i'm not a menu why are you out here trying to order

#i wrote like 3 different replies and then deleted them all bc i realized theres no point #like if they dont reply then what's the point and if they DO reply then it's not like they'll spontaneously change their ways #it's best to just let them be mad #like if they end up liking what happens then it solves itself and if they don't then that's karma #but it's like. unless otherwise stated. writers are not DJs and we don't take requests #i've gotten a few of those — kind of weird entitled asks that are like “could you write [this specific premise]?” and it's like #uhhh #that's not... really... a service that i offer...#i don't... remember... offering to do that....#my tinfoil hat theory is these people come from the Reader X fanfic communities where you just ask writers to do something #and they'll do a little ficlet for you #and they don't realize that most traditional fic spaces are not tailored in that way #for their personal enjoyment #like sometimes someone will ask me “would you want to write X?” and that's totally fine!! and flattering and fun!#but that's a very different question from “please do this enormously labor intensive activity for my personal enjoyment thank you.”#oh and that one AO3 comment? TEN CHAPTERS AWAY FROM THE END OF THE FIC #HADN'T EVEN FINISHED IT and was already tryna stick their finger in the pot. lmao. bruh.#fandom takes all kinds for real.
