The OOC Dump

I don’t think there’s an applause gif big enough to properly convey my reaction to this. Also, I love that if anyone tries to say that you’re just “another hack fic writer with no ideas of her own who is jealous of the “real” writers out there”, they could quite literally be crushed under your catalog of award-winning original writing as a response. They can’t dismiss your stance on this topic the way they do to so many unpublished / fanfic writers because you’ve already met all of the standards that they insist someone has before they’ll accept their opinion as worth listening to.

Damn I love the internet.

Fanfic is the Folk Process of the Literary world, and we who create it are the travelling bards taking our own spin from place to place so that the stories, survive, albeit in many forms, for millennia. Fanfic is the inevitable, guerrilla reaction of storytellers when Story is throttled by Profit and Propriety. Fanfic will NEVER DIE!!!

As a folk musician and morris dancer, HOLY FUCK IT IS. Fanfic is absolutely folk culture.

I’ve always wondered…what in the heck did Ursula plan on doing with Eric after Ariel (assumingly) lost the bet and belonged to her? 0.0

There's a spinoff novel based on this and while the characterization is not quite where it needs to be, basically Ursula just kind of keeps Eric as a melancholy pet while he's perpetually under mild mind control. He's still able to make savage burns, though. Basically Eric retains a small amount of free will at Ursula's discretion but he gets really depressed and salty.

It wouldn’t be a Disney movie without a judgemental horse
