Fandom Problem #5208:
Hot take: I would rather be in a server where everyone ships something that I dislike (or am even disgusted by), but nobody is an anti and thus prone to crawling up others' asses at the first sign of a "problematic" fictional ship, than be in a server where I love everyone else's ships but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.

Let Me Kiss Your Worries Away
Let Me Kiss Your Worries Away by mindfreaks
Shouto Todoroki can't hide things from Izuku, least of all his struggles with dysphoria and body in general– the problem is, he's too scared of being a burden. When his mouth slips, he finds himself not getting dumped like he expected, but cared for. In Izuku's way, of course.
ALT; Shouto has a bad dysphoria day and Izuku comforts him, ft. Trans Kirishima and his protective/supportive boyfriend.

Total Words Posted 2019: 263,964!
Total Works: 30 works in 7 fandoms with 30 different relationships (counting Gen pairs - also, it was not, in fact, a pairing per fic, but a couple repeats, and a multi-pairing fic).
As compared to last years: 269,752 words, 64 works, 3 fandoms, 40 different pairings.
Compare/Contrast between this year and the last: Roughly the same wordcount! Again! I've been pretty consistent these last three years. I wrote fewer, longer works, but remained very open in terms of pairing. We're growing the fandoms, but Star Wars definitely wins still (though, breaking it up by TYPE of Star Wars, I diversified this year - learning to write more broadly across the canon! Star wars is about 12 fandoms in a trench coat, after all).
Major thing(s) I learned this year: Narrative courage, I think might be the best way to sum it up. I feel like I've taken more chances than I have in past years - I've learned how to write different characters and different settings than I've written before.
I feel the need to shout out Arrivals, Connections, Departures here. It's my WIP longfic that I started this year. It's already nearly 50k, and it's nowhere near done. This story is going to be LONG, and honestly, it's intimidating for me! There are so many things I want to write, and a fic like this requires commitment. I think it's a story worth telling, through, and I'm enjoying sharing it with folks. But I'm learning how to pace myself when I'm not writing fic all in a rush, breaking it up with breaks for smaller fics. Trying to find the balance between loving my WIP and getting to chase creative spark.
I also got way more involved in exchanges, the gift-swap is fun, as is a chance to write something I've never written before.
How I did on my Goals for Last Year: One of my goals was to go back to my ongoing series and I...did not. I had a sort-of idea for how Bodhi Lives would roll out going forward, and I feel like I've grown enough as a writer that I'm not satisfied with my tentative outline anymore. I'm not sure what the solution to it is - I still love the universe, and I'm not ready to close the book on it yet, but at the same time, I'm not sure how to move forward. Will require thought.
HOWEVER, my other goal was to get Arrivals, Departures, Connections started, and I did! We've got the ball rolling!
I also had the goal to write more gift fic, interspersed with my giant fic, and I did that too! I think probably about two-thirds of my fic output this year was written as a gift for someone else.
Goals for the Coming Year: I think I want to set the goal of finishing my massive WIP in 2020. At least the draft - hopefully getting it posted, too.
I also want to close some of the "open tabs" I have in my fic writing brain. Off the top of my head, that's the Bodhi Lives conundrum I talked about earlier, my Bodhi/Cassian series (am I ever actually going to write them having sex? It's a mystery), my K-2SO narrates wildlife fic, and I've got a bunch of prompts sitting in my tumblr inbox. Next year, I'd like to either decide that I'm not going to write them, or start sitting down and getting them out into the world.
I'd also like to read and comment more - I've been a good writer this year, but a bad fan community member. I think it might be fun to do fic read-a-thons together, or something like that.
Under the readmore is a round-up of the fics I wrote in 2019. I'm going to group them by fandom, sub-fandom for Star Wars and Marvel, and then by date posted.
If you’ve been reading my work, talk to me!
What’s been a favorite story? Most unexpected? What was the first thing of mine you read? What are you hoping I’ll write more of in 2020?

The issue with this is that, antis always SAY they have real proof of real pedophiles in the proship community, but when asked for specifics so these people can be DEALT with, reported, blocked, avoided, warned about in general, it's always "uh, yeah it happens and I have proof :)" "please show us the proof we need to know who is doing this" "its' real, it happens :)" "if this happens please give us the proof" "i have proof of it :)" "then show us" "it's real :)" . And often when such proof does materialize, it's low-effort obvious sockpuppeting.
Whereas in my experience, antis are often willing to align themselves with actual predators and rally around them as long as said predators say lolicon is bad. There's currently a twitter reply guy who by his own admission molested his sister and yet is always accusing people of things based on their enjoyment of problematic fiction, no matter how many times he's publicly called out for molesting his sister.
Of course, no community is immune to hosting predators, we can all be diligent to avoid them and warn others when they do show themselves.

As a middle school teacher, it's really going to scare you when I say that most of the people using 'proshitter' are what you call 'digital natives'. They are young, constantly inundated with tech, and they spend most (if not all) of their time on tiny devices like phones. A lot of them don't even know how to really use a computer at all. I'm not joking. The faculty at my school are increasingly becoming alarmed by this, and the fact that kids are so attached to their phones that it really doesn't occur to them that, unlike a computer which they can easily get up and walk away from, they're much less likely to put their phones down. So it's way easier for whatever they're seeing and doing on their phones to feel intrusive, and marinate, and upset them. It magnifies everything tenfold. And we don't really know how we're going to solve the problem, even though we really, really need to, because it's actually becoming a big impedance in the classroom. Kids are more focused on the outrage of the day(TM) than actually learning, the incentive to focus on that dopamine-hijacking shit is way more powerful than focusing on the long-term reward that is actually learning something in school.

Lol.
The words "proshipper" and "proship" need to be put on the top shelf for big kids until all these babies (yes, some of said babies are also adults!) learn what it means and why it's actually a good thing.
The words "proshitter" and "proshit", on the other hand, need to be taken out back and thrown in the wood chipper. They're a good indication that someone has been force-fed purity culture, is also hellbent on dehumanizing other people ("proshit"? Really?), and has the emotional maturity of a two-year old... But not much else.

Hot take that's not really a take: The proship community (at least on Tumblr where I experienced this, I can't speak about other websites) has a VERY serious pedophile problem nobody wants to address. I have never once in my life had to block someone for openly proclaiming themself to be a pedophile in their bio/pinned post/pfp, until I started a ship discourse blog that leaned more proship. I counted 8 different blogs in the first month. I noticed a very prominent acceptance for them in the community once I dug a little deeper, and I've never turned my happy ass around faster.
Nothing has pushed me further toward my label as an anti than experiencing proship spaces as they are when I wouldn't have otherwise seen. I refuse to share spaces with people who will turn a blind eye to that shit and let so many pedophiles not only exist in their community, but give them an active space in it. Proshippers bring up antis who've abused children despite the views they claimed to have (which is also a serious problem, don't get me wrong), but proshippers also don't do anything about the very real, very numerous pedophiles in their own goddamn community. I see them in your notes, I see you reblogging posts from them, I see you willingly interacting with pedophiles.
So no, I won't join servers or follow blogs from proshippers. If it scares you away from me, good.

Fandom Problem #5208:
This is why upon entering any server or space, I SCOUR the rules, comments, and mod bios for signs of toxicity like "no proshitters", people gossiping about (insert derogatory slang here) shippers without any mods stepping in, and if there are a lot of people with clearly unhealthy ways of interacting with media running amok with no mod intervention, either. If the server allows the "i kill proshitters!!" people to even be present in there, it's a good sign the server is highly toxic, and the people are lost causes, and I should get my butt out of there ASAP. And I do. I'm 35, I'm too old for that shite. Those people end up eating each other alive in the end, anyways.

I think it's funny how antis have taken to calling people "proshitter" because literally everyone poops, and it's like they're trying to convince people they don't. (Esp considering the amount of antis that secretly enjoy all the same things they yell at proshippers for)
Insert Family Guy clip about the potty-training books "Everybody Poops" and "Nobody Poops But You And That is Pure Concentrated Evil Coming Out the Back of You"
Gonna have to start calling them pro-constipation.

I'm legitimately fascinated by people who put "proshit".
Why do they feel a compulsory need to insult people? Do they think adding a swear makes them look cool? Is it some kind of unspoken purity culture hazing necessity to be taken more seriously in those harmful groups? Are they compensating for something? Why don't they feel uncomfortable having something up like that? Would they actually, say, wear a t-shirt that says that off the computer? Could they actually say "proshit" off the computer with a straight face?
Etc.

OP of #5208 here.
"It's more about how accepting and open minded everyone is in the server, not the specific ships"
This is the main point I was trying to make. Thank you. As long as the people in the server aren't going to attack other people for shipping certain things, I can easily ignore all the NOTPs and other ships in the server, even the ones I hate and find repulsive. If those ships are being shared by people who are open-minded and safe to be around, that's all that matters. People who are brainwashed by purity culture, on the other hand (whether you call them antis or not), are not safe to be around. Because at some point, even if they currently like the same ships I do, that status quo will change, something will trip their alarm, whether it's me or someone else, and the paranoia from that is incredibly suffocating to deal with every time I go into those servers. I don't want to be afraid to freely share my favorite ships. I don't even have ships that most antis would consider "bad", however I do have a few het ships and even though they are canon, I have seen too many incidents where antis would even attack those, for one performative reason or another. There is no "safety" with them, it really doesn't matter what you ship.

Also I love the reality this person is living in in which predators all conveniently label themselves and introduce themselves as predators. In the real world, predators usually, uh lie? But lol I guess if someone puts "i'm a good guy :)" in their bio they're def 100% trustworthy then

And not only that. Most of the people that then get outed as pedos are antis. I think there is a tumblr account tracking those cases.

Omg I can't imagine spending my entire (or most of my entire) digital existence on a phone or tablet. It's so ergonomically brutal for your neck, hands, etc. They don't call it "text neck" for nothing! I wonder if there's going to be an epidemic of neck, wrist, and hand injuries for this newer generation.
