That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.
Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."
The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.
And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?
#love how they manipulated people into spreading that post by making it seem like a cishet vs gay thing#when the real message is OP thinks trying to sell your writing is cringe and 'weird' and 'normal people' with jobs would never#which would of course never have flown on the fandom website#so they played into the queer shipping is purer than cishet shipping puriteen thing#and it worked!#because my god people are gullible#this is the direct pipeline that leads to AI thievery#''normal' people write for the joy of it anyway so why do you need pay? you are just greedy and 'weird'!'#'oh no this isn't about who we get to call cringe and who gets to profit from art it's about um...#(quick what's a hated m/f ship?).. oh uh 'shitty' REYLO#and not our super pure uh... (spirk is still popular right? lets throw in that avengers one too to make it seem timely) stucky!'#I'm sorry if I have no sense of humor about this but the year is 2024 and people are still way too ready to sneer#about writers trying to earn a fucking living in the shittiest timeline#and i need you to look deep into yourself and ask you why it's so important to you to tell yourself that only people writing what you like#are 'normal' with real jobs and to vilify everyone else as 'weird' and 'shitty'#for trying to make an income during a financial fucking crisis#i would say sorry for ranting about this but I'm not sorry because wtf#write whatever you want#publish whatever you want#there is no moral fucking purity in what the content is#and one thing certainly doesn't make you more 'weird' or 'normal' than the other#like there is soooo much shitty mlm that started as fanfic???#that post is 100% OP made up some guys to get mad about and called them relyos for the clicks#writing#publishing#writblr#writeblr#i wasn't going to tag this anything but you know what fuck it I'm mad#i had like 5 more tags but tumblr cut me off which is fair 😅#fan fiction

much love to the fan theorists but if i think too much about why Norris and Chester are Like That i'll have to be put down with bear tranquilizers🫶👍
#i thought about them a little too hard on the drive home today and almost had to pull over!!!!#I appreciate people saying 'oh hey what if it's really j+m somewhere in there!' but ah. um. they're just puppets now I think.#this is a tragedy first and a love story like. fucking fourth. there is no way in hell there is any conscious part of j+m in there.#and if there is. well uh it probably would be better if they were just voices.#THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL SURE IF A FUCKING PODCAST!!!#tmagp#tmagp spoilers

One of the things that I enjoy about P&P in particular is the blank areas after a line of dialogue, or in the middle of a longer passage, or even a scene in which we aren't given much direction about how to take it. Sometimes we don't even get Elizabeth's reaction to mediate what's happening, so it basically forces the reader to interpret what's going on and make assumptions about how Elizabeth, Darcy, and the other characters are really feeling and acting.
On top of that, it's done smoothly enough that we often don't realize how much our sense of what happens in the novel has come from our own assumptions until a second or third read-through.
Additionally, these careful omissions can be very funny. For me, the absolute most comedic example of just not being told Elizabeth's reaction is Mrs Gardiner's breezy remark on Darcy:
“From what we have seen of him,” continued Mrs Gardiner, “I really should not have thought that he could have behaved in so cruel a way by anybody as he has done by poor Wickham. He has not an ill-natured look. On the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he speaks.”
We are told absolutely nothing about what Elizabeth thinks on this point, or about her aunt bringing it up. Mrs Gardiner moves onto discussing Mrs Reynolds's account and we then hear,
"Elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of his behaviour to Wickham."
It's a change of topic, anyway :P
#my read:#mrs gardiner: he's not as pretty as wickham. well he is but he doesn't have the angelic vibe. still very attractive though. his mouth-#elizabeth (internally): aghghghhhhhhghghhhhhhhh#elizabeth (out loud): i um found out some things. about his—uh. morals. from people. who know things.#also i choose to believe that someday darcy hears about this conversation#anghraine babbles#austen blogging#deep blogging#elizabeth bennet#otp of otps#m gardiner

what are some pet peeves you have when it comes to kenstewy’s characterizations in fics?
stewy being a mommy gf goes without saying but my personal biggest pet peeve is when people overuse the succession speak lol like not ever line has to be some crazy zinger they can say normal things sometimes please chill
#fics that are like ‘hey cumslut did you fuck your dad this morning or just give him a wake up blowjob?’#when its like. please. sometimes they can just say good morning.#or when they overuse kendalls stutter#like ‘uh yeah um. good um. morning. yeah.’ like please. PLEASE.#but i guess thats not really a characterization thing?? idc#tbh i havent read a ton mainly just the ones moots have recommended so theyve been mostly good#ask#anon#m

“What the bloody hell was all that about?” ( for Ciarán fdhfjsadhkdhf / @spring-lxcked )
" what the bloody hell was all that about? "
[[ YEAAA I GET TO PLAY MY BELOVED HORRIBLE LITTLE FAILBOY IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT ]]
-- [ asked by @spring-lxcked ] --
Ciarán's hand tightened on the door to William's office in reaction to the man's words, knuckles going white against the wood, but he gave no other sign he'd even heard them. He'd been glaring out the doorway at the retreating back of some empty-headed employee who clearly had absolutely no respect for their superiors - they'd been very persistent about getting into Mr. Afton's office to speak with him about some 'urgent' matter when the two of them had clearly been very busy with their 'meeting' before they'd come and knocked on the door. No amount of snappy, clipped words or slowly raised volume had seemed to be enough to deter them.
He huffed once they were a satisfactory distance away, resisting the urge to slam the door to prove some kind of point and instead closing it very slowly and carefully because this was Will's office and he respected Will's stuff. Turning to face the man sitting behind the desk and clasping his hands behind his back, he heaved a sigh, tension draining from his frame the moment he laid eyes on the other man. His face returned to a calm, pleasant - daresay, almost fond - smile, as was his typical resting expression when in William's presence.
"I will have to admit I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, Bill," he answered, tilting his head down to look up at William through his lashes with a grin that showed he knew exactly what William's opinion of that nickname was. "I was just informing your lovely employee that you weren't available for a meeting at the moment. Because you're not. You're spending time with me, ain't that right?" There was a certain lilt to his tone - this was teasing. Making a question out of what he knew to be a statement of fact. They did this often, played this little game; he knew that, while much he did may get on Will's nerves, none of it ever truly upset him. William liked him too much for that.
As he spoke, he stepped away from the door, making his way across the office in smooth, even strides until he could round the corner of William's desk and lean slightly back against the wood, crossing one ankle over the other. One of his hands fell back to support his weight, while the other came up to card through the other man's dark hair, settling itself at the back of his head while he had to crane his neck backwards to make eye contact.
"After all, they don't need your attention. They aren't ev'n worth your time. I am, though. You know that. Why else would I be here?"
His hand slid forward, thumb caressing along William's cheek before he brought it to a rest at the nape of his neck. "Admit it. You'd much rather have me in here than any of those bastards you've got out there."
#m | ic: threads ; ciarán#others | ic: threads ; william afton#interactions ; murderboyfriends <3#spring-lxcked#hes such a SHIT i hate him (/pos)#i hope you lovehate him as much as i do im. frothing at the mouth over him#theyre both so horrible theyre perfect for each other#also i was SUPPOSED to queue this but uh. haha. um. brainrot#[[ replies tag ]]
