Hello, I'm Beanie and I don't know how to write bios.

this is why ao3 is superior 😭 I hope op has a copy of their work because, from what I’ve been told, wattpad won’t even warn or give you time to backup your work beforehand. they will just deadass delete your work. my friend once had their entire work—with multiple chapters—deleted by wattpad with no heads up. just a notification that says “your work has been deleted”.

I personally don't support this (tho i didn't hate comment or even let it known that i read it) but what are ur thoughts on it?

I can see that they “give credits to the authors” in the first ask you sent, but giving credits means absolutely nothing when they still steal other people’s fics.

so it is still blatant plagiarism and stealing, with or without the credits.

credits mean nothing when consent is not explicitly given. the authors being offline for years is not an excuse. if you create something, that thing is permanently yours. an author does not have to stay online forever in order to retain ownership of their own works.

so I’m sorry but the fact you say “it isn’t plagiarism ig” just because the person gives credit is wild to me. yes, it is. credits are only after you got a clear permission from the author and you credit them to both acknowledge and thank them for their consent. if you just copy and paste other people’s works, ✨change the characters’ names and then credit the authors✨, without the authors’ knowledge or consent, you are still a thief.

This is weird, bad behavior.

This is a rude, bizzare, nonsensical thing to do.

This shows blatant disregard toward the original author, absolutely, but it also a huge violation against the entire nature of fanfiction. Copy-pasting names out for other names doesn't make any sense.

That's not how characterization works. That's not how voice works. That's not how setting works. It doesn't work. It's weird.

I've had this exact thing happen to me while I was actively writing in the fandom that the story was copy-pasted from. and I was not reached out to in spite of the very easy messaging function built into the site. so I can say, with absolute certainty, if people out there really need to get the opinion of a fic writer who has had this happen to them: this fucking sucks, don't do this, you will absolutely cause more harm than you could ever imagine.

I can no longer remember exactly when this happened (it was something like 15 years ago, so do forgive me), but I remember the fic, what fandom it was "transported" to, what pairing it was, the response I got when I reached out to them to say "hi, not cool, actually". and even though I got an apology and the fic was removed, I still think about it. (and no, not just because I only heard about the fic because a third-party commented and asked if I was the copy-cat because they'd read the other story first and assumed the worst about me.) it just really fucking sucks, even if it's done in "good faith" or whatever. there is no excuse in stealing from someone, "even" if it's made by another "fan". you always ask for permission, you always wait, and if you don't hear back or can't find any statement from the fic writer about their works, maybe don't fucking do it? giving credit means absolutely nothing, and I cannot believe it's the year 2026 and we're still having this conversation.

There similarity- There both winged pansexuals with substance abuse isues. They both run unsavory business and they both actively disturbe the thing there addicted to. This all proves that thoughs things aren't what makes Val like that.

There diffrents- Husk is very introspective. He is not immune to geting worked up but he cares more about outher people than his ego.

He wants to see outhers succeed even if he believes he can't. He also knows how to pull back he doesn't try to control outher people.

Val only cares about his own feelings and what will make him feel better right now. He is all ego, he needs to be the strongest, prettiest, most important person in the room.

He doesn't give a fuck about outher people's emotions untill it efects him. He trys to control everyone and he lashes out at everyone and everything when he's upset.

Whenever I look online, Angel's height gets listed as roughly 8 ft.

So, if we run with that, then I'd estimate that Husk's height (based on where the top of his head would be, and not the tips of his ears) would probably be around 6 ft 8 inches.

(This, is the height comparison site for anyone that wants to use it).

You want to write a story where a specific thing happens, but then you see a post saying that someone should write a story where that specific thing happens.

Option 1: Share the post, and write (either as an addition to the post, or in the tags) that you were thinking about writing about xyz, and maybe this is a sign/get out of my head tumblr wtf/whatever other thing you feel like adding.

Option 2: Share the post after you write the thing, and then mention that you have a story where xyz also happens.

Either way - ALWAYS WRITE THE THING!!

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

some victims and survivors use dark fiction to cope and heal from their trauma, because in their fics, they are in control of what happens. they can turn the table and turn what happens into something that’s not traumatizing. and they can do that because they don’t owe you anything.

it’s a kink to some people, even though they were never victims. people can enjoy it and find it hot because at the end of the day it’s just a fantasy. it’s not real. they don’t owe you anything.

it’s cathartic and/or therapeutic to some to see their favorite fictional characters suffer. that’s why whump is such a popular trope; people love putting their fictional little guys through hell. non-con is a part of whump. and these people don’t owe you anything.

fanfic writers can write whatever they want, however they want. they don’t owe you anything.

it may take me a month to put out a chapter but at least im not using ai to write it.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.
