What I am learning today is that some people are unaware of copyright law, including fair use and creative commons.

If you post anything original that is creative (no matter the medium), make yourself aware of copyright law. It's information that every creative should be aware of, no matter their discipline or if they make a profit from their work.

Also, research the policies of the website you are sharing your work to. (instagram isn't your friend)

And finally, if you create fandom-related content, and encounter individuals on the internet or in real life who want to dictate to you what fanart is (so, fanfiction, videos, artwork, etc) and put you down because that's what you create, please remember that the 1997 Oscar-winning movie (one of the highest grossing movies of all time), Titanic, is technically fanfiction

Your art is not "worth" any less than that.

#anyway pals.... protect yourselves out there #(i will scream it to the day i die #titanic is RPF! based on a tragic historical event #any movie or book based on historical people or events is fanfiction #it probably has another term for it but imo it's fanfiction #and it's not more impressive than the 200K gang au masterpiece that some random 25-year-old posted on ao3 #or the 1K pwp or or or or #so idc if a big name made it. it's still fanart and should be considered in the same league. it's not inherently better bc of the people #who made it)
