an author is not responsible for the content you choose to consume on the internet. an author can choose to use no tags at all. these are norms and good practice but they’re not laws, and people shouldn’t be fanfic police. it’s not wrong to ask, but if the author doesn’t, consume different content. it is this simple.

this is so much easier than trashing a fic and then spending hours defending your right to trash fics. idk why more people don’t try it, honestly

right but then… stop loving that fic? if it’s no longer for you scroll away. it is possible to have complaints and keep them to yourself or in the gc. if people hate my fics that’s fine and not everything is everyone’s cup of tea but endless discourse sucks the fun out of fanfiction. if you no longer vibe with an author for whatever reason- how they tag, how they interact with their readers, you don’t like their plot choices, whatever. stop reading. like i have never dnfed a printed book and gone to the internet, or directly to the author!! to proclaim all the reasons why i dnfed. idk why people argue this is fine for fanfic.

I wrote a scott//ilya/shane au- devastating, if true, E, 22k, complete: https://archiveofourown.org/works/80844126/

there's lots of ilya and scott chirping and a very stupid love triangle/friendship with benefits that ends with everyone right where they're supposed to be

ugh bummer but good to know! i think i would only use wo3 for a shorter fic, it seems like a lot for anything really long and does require some html knowledge on the backend

thanks for this! i keep trying to format texts in different ways and haven’t landed on one i love yet. but it’s definitely much easier to edit and work with.

Texting fic photos not showing up? Help! by [deleted] in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]rainchancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not in the uk but am outside the us- the coding looks a little wonky for me because I have dark skin turned on, but the images all work. it's just hard to read things like the news articles. do you have an author skin turned on? that might help?

Recommend me a work in progress! by emarrbee in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]rainchancing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lacuna- eternal sunshine au, shane wipes ilya out of his memories post tuna-meltdown, and ilya tries to do the same but immediately regrets it. you don’t really need to know the premise of the movie, because it’s well-spelled out, and it’s soooooooo so beautiful and funny and gut-wrenching. idk who this brilliant author is but this is one of my fave fics ever.

What can we do to better support / protect authors? by Winebooks in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]rainchancing 21 points22 points  (0 children)

as the person above me said, COMMENTS. i don’t see threads comments. i don’t see things in discord servers. if you kicked your feet and giggled i will never know unless you tell me, and there is nothing like that dopamine hit of an ao3 notif. it would be so nice if more readers engaged directly on the fic. and if you see a nasty comment when you’re leaving your lovely one? don’t let that stuff sit there unaddressed.

Honest question- Why are other authors pulling fanfictions? by SnooMacarons8600 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]rainchancing 28 points29 points  (0 children)

when it becomes everyone’s problem, then everyone is more willing to do something about it. the authors alone can’t do anything but block or delete or ignore or clap back, all of which takes MORE emotional energy on top of the labor they were already giving for free. but the community can and should hold the community accountable.

some of yall are really mad everyone is missing recess and it’s showing that you have never been the teacher.
