Screaming crying throwing up begging sobbing for transmasc/gnc TavxShadowheart fics i will give you real world money pL EAS E IM BEGGING YO-

Anon, it's wonderful that you thought to ask me this. I do genuinely appreciate that kinda faith in me! Thank you for that.

But I'm sorry, I'm just not convinced I'm the writer for what you want. Unless it was a very brief fic which feels... disingenuous.

There's a dearth of transmasc!Tav/Shadowheart fics out there though. It's even worse than the trans fem Tav/Shadowheart situation, and I'm sorry for that. I hope someone more suited to the task comes along and gives you everything you want!

I'm not in the market for a fanfic beta with sensitivity reading/editing experience at the moment either, which I would want for this.

I laughed at your joke at the end there, but to clarify in probably far too serious a tone: my fics will always be free and I can't see myself accepting money for fannish writing out of an abundance of caution. No shade at all to those that do commissions or set up ko-fi/Patreon and so on, I wish all y'all a happy and comfortable life in the dystopian nightmare we're forced to live in and all proles (especially artists & writers rn) deserve to be compensated for our labor.

#hey you can ask me things!#I need to stop using y'all's asks to soapbox so farewell to 2k words of ramble lmao #tl;dr - I don't want to do commissions because even at workshops I *paid* to be at I couldn't stay on topic for short stories lmfao #I also know that I'd alienate more people than I'd entice as my niche is incredibly... well niche lol #I don't write or even really read longfics either (I save both for published novels)#and I don't want to run the risk of reports from the same folks that occasionally nuke my inbox with nasty shit #even a ko-fi isn't worth the potential headache
