To all my writer friends who are on the struggle bus/suffering from writer's block/just dealing with life stuff right now!
i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.
I donāt like this actually
This is depressing does anyone else find this depressing
I would actually make the argument that the heart of the problem here is not either about fans, as the article claims, or production companies being exploitative cowards, as some of the comments are claiming. The heart of the problem is the increasingly eroding privacy we are seeing in the modern age.
There's some people in the comments saying "fandoms have always been like this" and others saying "No, it's worse than it was." And both are to some extent right. Fans (or at least a small percentage of fans, and the larger a fanbase gets the larger a group this will describe) have always been Like That; but they did not always have the level of access to creators and actors that they have now.
The notion that a performer needs to be constantly available to public scrutiny, that their personal information should by default be available to any rando with google, is pretty new. It used to be that actors would only be expected to engage with the public on limited, specific, and controlled occasions, usually with security provided. Now they're being asked to rawdog exposure to the mob 24/7 on their own.
(Also, production companies have always always always been exploitative cowards, just to get that straight; reading the biographies of literally any actress from golden Hollywood years makes that clear. It's just, again, more public now.)
There has also been a negative feedback loop as fandoms come to realize that the constant access they have to creatives increases their leverage and power. It did not use to be the case that this was so; fandoms pre-internet largely worked under the assumption that they didn't really have any meaningful way to contact or influence the publication houses. Even if they sent a letter or a campaign of letters, they wouldn't even know whether the letters were being received or read unless the publishing house chose to respond. So, without that expectation of access, the drama usually stayed internal. Nowadays, with constant immediate feedback from creators and publishers, fans are ever more incentivized to act out to try to push an agenda, get attention, or just vent whatever is going on in their lives onto a face contractually obliged to be friendly to them.

styx catches ethan as he falls from olympus and makes him her champion to go after the gods when they break their oaths on her name since she canāt truly collect from them. but a demigod who can go anywhere and challenge anyone? he can be her collector. happily since he gets to bring balance to the gods who have been severely skirting that system for years
percethan au where percy runs into ethan while heās collecting from a god and they have a stucky moment where percy pauses as he stares at someone who he thought was dead, and whispers, āethan?ā and ethan who had partially died on his fall from olympus, not quite entering the land of the dead but not quite exiting the land of the living, landed right on styxās banks and she took him and remolded him. maybe he got splashed with water from the lethe or something. but he looks back at percy and just goes, āwho the hell is ethan?ā
So in PJO Kronos is the big, blatantly evil baddie because we need a villain that actually poses a credible threat to Olympus and in his most famous myth, Mr Baby Eater doesn't come across very sympathetically. But aside from that, Kronos wasn't super villainous. And to be fair, the baby eating is a pretty big thing to dismiss, but Kronos was worshipped in Greece and Saturn even more so in Rome. Some versions of the mythology have the gods pull Kronos out of Tartarus and put him in charge of the Isles of the Blessed.
So my PJO AU idea is: what if the big bad endgame of PJO was Ouranos, and the titans were Olympus' desperate and uneasy allies?
I see this either as an optimistic Percy breaks the cycle thing where he helps make peace between the gods and the titans, or else fighting Ouranos is just the prelude to a cold war in HoO where everyone has uncertain loyalties.
Titanās Curse but Ouranos' faction is trying to kill Atlas, the titans think someone else should take a turn, and the gods want to maintain the status quo.
The concept of being a child of Apollo in the Battle of Manhattan and before y'all head to fight at the bridge you head Percy Jackson asking Annabeth Chase to give him a good luck kiss because it's already a tradition (implying that they've kissed before) and Annabeth tells him that maybe she'll kiss him if he comes back alive (you can't share this gossip with anyone because, again, you're in a battlefield but holy shit?)
Oh, I donāt think it being a battlefield would matter. Some child of Athena, bleeding on the ground āI canāt drink any more nectar, this is it for me.ā The child of Apollo ministering to them āPercy and Annabeth are dating now, are you really going to die before getting to tease her about that?ā
This is how Malcolm survived the Battle of Manhattan actually
ācreator chose not to use archive warningsā tag on ao3 means a fic may or may not contain things that are triggering and taboo, but the author chooses not to tag them and they choose not to say if thereās any at all. it means proceed at your own risk.
if a fic contains heavily triggering/taboo topics that are not properly tagged, but the author uses ācreator chose not to use archive warningsā, then that tag alone means theyāve already tagged everything ao3 requires from them, even if they donāt tell you what these taboo topics are. so the only way to find out is to actually read their work. it means you know the risk and still choose to read their works. you cannot be mad at the author, because theyāve basically told you to proceed at your own risk.
so no, this is not against ao3ās terms of service. this is what ācreator chose not to use archive warningsā tag is for.
i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

Made a new poster! :)
i love following people with kinks I donāt have because somtimes Iām like
āIf men could get pregnant, abortion would be freeā men CAN get pregnant and theyāre treated worse than women who can get pregnant
oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men
hey guys you know a work can have challenging & disturbing & weird themes without it actually being a kink that the writers have, right? I know we all like to use that āthe authorās barely disguised fetishā meme but i truly need yāall to understand that some things are just recurring themes & motifs in a body of work without it being sexual for the writers or anyone involved in the creation of art. Itās important to me that yāall know this.
Im gonna be honest here, iāve never had an m&m in my life
If you're curious about the fic here it is

normalize creators replying to fanon shippers with āthatās great that youāre inspired to write your own version of things. keep doing that! but please respect our version of our story.ā
normalize fans being reminded that boundaries between fandom and creators exist for a reason.
normalize fans recognizing their own creative potential without seeking canon validation
normalize the idea that fandom is a hobby, not an identity to threaten and fight and harass people over
normalize a healthy understanding of the boundaries between fiction and reality
normalize just chilling the fuck out lmao
This is a good post, but it stil misses the point by a tiiiiiiny margin.
The proper response of the creative person shouldn't be "please respect my story/vision" it should be "please respect me and my position as the paid professional in this relationship."
New fans don't know this - and I entirely blame the immediacy of communication of socmedia - but creators of media tended to keep the fans at arm's length because of a very real legal risk that listening to the headcanons, etc could result in.
The best solution, unfortunately, is for the creators to raise up some barriers between them and the fans.
