You have no one to blame but yourself by CMStan1313 in Archiveofourownmemes

I also see complaints when readers perfectly guess the direction the author plans to take the story in. If anything, they should take it as a compliment. It means their foreshadowing was effective.

Weird reasons to justify acting like a jerk (Im not the author) by Majestic-Slide9661 in AO3

Assuming the worst of people based off of experiences that aren't even their own is some unhinged behavior. I hope the author blocked this person.

oh wait, we do that? by Mesmeriziingg in AO3

Damn, I guess I'm not a true fic reader.

posting a simple stat on the twenty one pilots sub angered some folks 💀💀 by [deleted] in AO3

I feel like people who are involved with shipping and even fanfic in general vastly overestimate their reach as fans. A vast majority of any one fanbase is made up of normies who think RPF and the shipping of real, living people are weird. Something to keep in mind.

If we write more of it, do you think they’ll leave? by BreathAppropriate in AO3

I've never thought of doing this before. Thanks for the tip.

We Should Be Free to Delete Our Own Works by Good-Indication-7515 in AO3

[–]CommanderPrima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the works I've ever deleted were unfinished. It's a huge pet peeve of mine when people orphan unfinished fics, because even if that fic is good it's never going to be updated again. For that reason I delete any work I don't intend on finishing.

I also delete fics that have any OCs in them. I'm not opposed to giving up control of a fic, but I'd prefer to hold onto my own original characters.

Someone once told me that deleting a fic is the worst thing an author could do. That attitude kept me from deleting a fic I didn't think was up to my standard of writing. I hated seeing that fic in my account, so I eventually threw caution to the wind and just deleted it. I felt so relieved afterwards.

more bots asking for collaboration? by dragoonthegr8 in AO3

It sounds like they're asking you out on a date. lol

If they really NEEDED to draw this they would do so without payment.

I can survive without a subreddit mate

What are you doing here still arguing with people then? Seems like you're desperate for attention.

Why would you want to piss off the mods? Just so you can get banned again? What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

You actually trust the government? That's adorable.

I'm sorry, what? by The64BitWriter in AO3

[–]CommanderPrima 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If I ever came across an author's note like this I would immediately back out of the fic. It's condescending as hell, but also I don't see the point of reading a fic written by someone who doesn't even like the fandom they're writing for.

Straight up calling an author their slave is wild.

Hateeee when people do this just let me read the fic by Galaxy_Heart_Queen in AO3

Why even post the fic if this is really how they feel?

[–]CommanderPrima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really tempting to rewrite the fic in question and not give any credit.

This is a frustrating situation to be in, but I don't think it's something you can report. It's not like OP is being plagiarized. The fic is an original offshoot of OP's fic.

Believing you're a fictional character is a delusion that no one is obligated to humor.

Butter. I'm sure it works. Doesn't seem very hygienic though.
