this and also the only difference between fanfic writers and writers who sell their own original works as careers is that fanfics aren’t monetized. that’s all.

being a “professional” writer doesn’t mean your works are inherently better than fanfics. I’ve read so many fics that are more professionally written than some published books.

suicide baiting (often machine translated into other languages)

asking you to mail them your work with a promise of payment

As always, please be cautious if something in the comments seems untrue or strange, and follow internet safety best practices.

For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.

And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:

So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.

There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.

Green icon of a magnifying class over a beetle. Who's That Boy? (wrote for a character that previously had no AO3 tag)

Orange icon of a tape measure. Size Matters (wrote the longest fic to date in the fandom)

Grey icon of two women holding hands. Lesbifriends (wrote the first F/F fic in the fandom)

Yellow icon of a smiling face surrounded by hearts. My Special Person (wrote something because you knew that one person who'd appreciate it)

Blue icon of an elephant and a mouse. Lorge and Smol (wrote a crossover between a fandom with more than 1000 works and a small fandom)

Grey icon of handcuffs. Testing the Waters (this had better not awake anything in you)

Yellow icon of two fish approaching a hook. Hooked! (wrote something for the first time and are already planning on writing something else for it)

I'm happy to find someone who edits Mcdanno. I watched Five-0 on TV and it hurts me that the fandom isn't active. I haven't been able to get over them.

I don't know if you accept song suggestions for editing. But... I would love one of your Mcdanno edits with The Subway by Chappell Roan.

"he got away"

Sorry, it took me like three months😭

Aloha!

H50 was first aired in 2010. 16 year later the Mcdanno fandom is still alive, posting new content and reblogging old stuff. Luckily we also get new Mcdanno fanart, created by amazing artists who still want to share their beautiful art. To celebrate Mcdanno art and its wonderful and very talented creators I’m going to reblog all Mcdanno fanart posted this 2026 tomorrow on my blog @pineappleinfestedparadise

If the H50/Mcdanno fandom wants to see more new pieces and attract new creators please let the artists know that you enjoy and appreciate their works. Please Like & Reblog the artworks. Share the love!

We need more gorgeous Mcdanno art this 2026!

Donating an organ to the other half.

Couch cuddling.

Saying "I love you" regularly.

Forced proximity roommates turned roommates by choice.

Calling each other pet names, mainly 'babe.'

Co-parenting one of their children.

Near death dream hallucination where they grow old together in the same home.

Randomly decided to open a restaurant together and upped their normal 'bickering like an old married couole' default to unprecedented levels.

Dance together at a wedding.

Go to a literal couples counseling retreat together.

"I am so happy to see you right now. I'll give you a hug, I'll give you a kiss, pick a base."

"Why'd you stop holding my hand? We're fighting?"

Asking, "what are you wearing?" over the phone.

"Are you talking to your wife?" "I'm talking to my partner."

One gives up on a chance to reconcile with his ex and follow her back home to save the other man.

They literally changed the trajectory of the other's life. Cause what do you mean both of them went from hating that place and wanting to leave, to planning out their retirement there together?

Sitting next to each other on a double date and staring into each other's eyes instead of their date's.

Telling his date he's already in a dysfunctional marriage with the other one.

One of them gets offended when they aren't included in the other's retirement plans, because he would have included his ex wife in a decision like that if they were still married, right? "Are you comparing my failed marriage to our relationship?"

McDanno will forever be THE definition of queerbaiting for me, and I'm so glad I didn't have to suffer it live, I would not have survived. They're literally in some 'platonic' life partners relationship in canon and should have just been gay for each other already. Buddie, Sterek, Destiel, none of them hold a candle to McDanno...Yet. (There's theoretically still a chance for Buddie 🤞)

moonlight 2007 au

mmm vampires...

Оно лежит на самом дне в сплетении артерий пещер

But yeah, sure, that's totally normal, platonic, brotherly behavior. Because who doesn't accompany their friend to the airport to pick up said friend's parents just so that you can meet them as soon as possible?
