Alternate:

as a writer, i genuinely thought this was common sense & basic fandom etiquette but apparently it needs to be said: you do not offer unsolicited criticism on someone’s fanfiction/fan art unless the creator explicitly asks for it. (to be very clear: exceptions exist!! if someone’s writing/art is actively harmful, hateful, bigoted, etc. that’s a separate convo & not at all what i’m talking about here!!) if you don’t like someone’s characterization, their ship dynamics, the setting, the tone, whatever, that’s fine, you’re entitled to your own opinion! what you’re not entitled to is telling an artist how they “should’ve done it differently”, especially when that creator is just some person sharing their art for free (!!!) because they care about the story or characters. if that’s not your vibe, that’s fine!! scroll past it. mute the tag. OR, better yet, write your own fanfiction!!

anyway. this has been your friendly reminder that consensual critique is great, but unsolicited negativity is just bad manners and tearing down someone else’s work because it didn’t fit your personal headcanon is not constructive, but lowkey just mean & makes fandom less fun for everyone! :) if you’re that passionate about it:

The guys :)
