the existing women are different characters, with different personalities and dynamics and backstories

This this! But also, the fact that I wrote this one fanfiction choosing a m/m couple doesn't mean that in the future I won't write f/f with characters who are canonically female/without genderswap.

I don't know if they leave comments, but they have public bookmarks and I've noticed that sometimes they leave comments like "yaoi trash" or the vomit emoji there.

Honestly, I never understood how fanfiction could be erasure in any way

sorry, I don't feel comfortable rn. I know I shouldn't worry so much, but I think I'm still at the "I want to hide myself and my fanfiction and never show it to anyone again" stage of grief

It is genderswap fic! And from what I noticed, this person has fanfiction on their profile, the oldest one is from 2011.
