I truly do understand the fear people have regarding people doing “fanfiction commissions” and making money off fanfics after the Anne Rice debacle, but we don’t have to act like it’s an inherent moral failing and like you’re a Fake Fan tainting fan spaces if you want to be paid for your work the same way fan artists do.

Anne Rice is a dick head for what she did and should be treated as such, treating the fear she’s wrought as some holy thing is fucking weird.

#I genuinely used to think this way too but there’s no reason fan artists are allowed to be paid for their art and fanfic writers can’t #Most people who act this way essentially just admit they think writers do less work than fan artists and you gotta fuck off with that #There’s this idea that fanfics are just rip offs of the original work and that is so tremendously rarely the case #Most fanfic is borderline unrelated to the og media #And it’s always worth remembering that 1) copyright laws are really just for protecting major IPs to shit on the little guy #And 2) what someone is willing to pay for is not for you to decide the og creator would never have seen that money anyways because #They’re not producing the type of content being paid for in the same way buying fanart with a distinctive look and ship wouldn’t have gone #To the og #There’s always capitalistic shit that goes too far but fanfics has already experienced that in the form of trash 1D & HP fanfics being made #Into published novels and feature films so what really has you being so weird about small writers trying to experience being paid #For their work #I know fan artists get copyright strikes and things like that but the attitude towards it is not even remotely the same #And I’m not saying you shouldn’t remind people WHY you can’t safely do fanfic commission #But don’t act like “It’s a good thing actually” or morally wrong to want to be paid for fanfiction writing #I feel like I make a post like this every couple of years but I always see that shit pop up sporadically #And the vibes of the posts giving the warning are always RANCID.

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa
