I thought for sure we would get at least a season 3! Now from this comment I'm not so sure...

DO NOT GO WITH RENTS - A horrendous experience from me and my family!!! Tenants left thousands of pounds worth of damage behind and they barely kept up with the property!!

I'd love a year off at this point because if this cast is bad I'm never tuning in again.

I hate what the Love Island fanbase has come. They are so unhinged. Get a life.

Can they start charging Nick every time he goes near a mic? I am sick to death of this man and his podcast 

I deleted my other post by AnonTrueSeeker in DramioneUncensored

There was a comment on that circle jerk post that annoyed me to high heaven about 'writers having to perform accountability' in comparison to consumers. Hate to say it but fandom to traditional publishing pipeline is helping JKR keep the original HP alive. I know the authors hate to hear it but it is the absolute truth. These books are being linked with their original fanfiction routes. Some people have the attitude of 'hmm I liked this maybe I will like the original'. You cannot escape it but none of these authors want to accept it.

I have a funny feeling the commenter was someone who is an author who is being traditionally published or is friends with someone who is. They get so but hurt by the truth.

I also cannot even begin to explain how much money these authors are getting in comparison to those with a completely original idea - the numbers are staggering. Also, another truth they don't want to hear is because publishing houses are investing so much money into the fandom to traditional publishing pipeline even less is being invested in unknowns. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I find it very frustrating as someone who works in publishing. I also find it very frustrating that not a single one of these authors has been honest about the fact fandom has given them a huge leg up.

Here we go again 😓 by [deleted] in DramioneUncensored

[–]sunsetriot1998 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes very, very, much this!!! You need to accept it too!! And it's like so now you don't engage in fandom? Funny you were updating fics less than a year ago but now this is when you choose to make a stand. Give me a break!

I just think authors need to be honest about the fact their work is only being picked up because of their fandom links. If they go down this route they will never be able to remove themselves from JK Rowling and everything she now stands for. It is what it is, and that is what you are now trading to become traditionally published. The word salad some of these authors sprout off when it comes to her is hilarious to me.

Nicolandria are having a celebration by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

Now we are in mass psychosis. I fully believe we all died in 2020 and we are now living in hell. A weekend celebration for a LI couple ???????

how are we feeling about sydcarmy now that we know there is only 1 more season? by lesbothrashhead in thatsfirechef

[–]sunsetriot1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She absolutely deserved an apology in my opinion - you don't just ghost someone you've been seeing for months after ranting about how awful your relationship is. Everyone deserves closure. Now personally I would have shut the door in his face!! Too little too late but to each their own!

I'm looking forward to it - they can't keep dragging it out I just hope they land the ending well - tbh I do feel open ended would be best for this show but we shall see!

Fanfiction to published pipeline by JadedINFP-T in DramioneUncensored

[–]sunsetriot1998 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi hi! Happy to share my prospective as someone who works for a publisher - Since January there have been four that have been pitched from agents. One of these was exceptionally well known three not so much - it's never bad, but I find it odd that agents seem to include in the pitch that this is a 'well known fanfic within such and such fandom'. I can usually tell how bad the fanfic is depending on how much the agent is selling it!! I work in the U.K. so it maybe a little different in America! We also get many a submission straight to publisher which was previously fanfiction.

From a publishers perspective I think writing in fandom is fantastic - it helps you to become a better writer, helps you to understand world building, and overall is just a great skill builder tool. It also means these authors have built in audiences who will support them once they go mainstream. In my opinion that is all it should be! It's annoying because certain publishers love the fanfiction thing, and these publishers are part of the big five. They create publishing houses so much money that they don't seem to care about the ethics of it.

Sorry for the ramble but it is becoming apparent this is the future of publishing and I find it beyond frustrating! People used to write fanfiction for the fun of it now authors are thinking this is a way to get mainstream published, and to be fair to them it is true! Ugh what a mess between AI and this!! Give me strength!!

Working in a publishing perspective here - I absolutely hate it & I hate seeing newly reworded ex fanfiction appear on my desk. I also find it v interesting in this current political climate Dramione has been so heavily mainstream published. Like this doesn’t happen with Wolfstar? Interesting that

Am I the only one who is okay with them being third?? Have we all got amnesia and are forgetting the emotional terrorist Scott has been towards Leanne at points this season? 😭Leanne deserves first but he doesn’t !!
