#fandom is fun

It is funny because like, her hard limit appears to be a character played by her friend Conan O'Brien. But other cartoon characters? Sure!

Jessica Rabbit gets mentioned, Wall-E (girl, how is that different?), and even says such gems as "I would do Woody" and "Buzz Lightyear for sure can get it." (Yeah, he can lol. [gestures at Jessie])

Also, like... semi-related, but one of my thoughts is that: Conan's character gets to dance with Jessie in a playtime sequence so like there's text there if you wanted to ship Jessie with Smarty Pants. And I vibe a little. That could be fun.

That is all.

Listen to fandom olds who have been through it all before: people that you admire will eventually do something that goes against your own expectations, desires, or principles. Exercise enough caution that you aren’t psychologically harmed when this stranger does or says something you weren’t expecting. Don’t hitch your horse too tightly to another person that you don’t actually know.

Disappointment is a natural and perhaps healthy emotion to experience when certain things happen.

But please: love yourself more than any piece of media, art, fantasy, or public figure.

Escapism can be fun and rewarding, and parasocial relationships aren’t intrinsically harmful if you learn that it’s unfair and unhealthy to bulldoze the consecrated ground of your self worth to build pedestals. You deserve to develop internal validation.

Please note these policies are subject to change as more information is available regarding copyright and/or intellectual property laws.

If it is brought to my attention that any of these policies set forth are violated, I will pull what little permission I am giving.

If it’s not explicitly stated, I ask you contact me directly. Do not take it as implied approval. I am active on all platforms & my DM’s are open.

Please be respectful and let’s continue to enjoy the creations we are sharing in this community. Much love for each and every one of you.

Goodreads & Storygraph / Reviewing

I do not permit my work(s) to be added to either Goodreads or Storygraph. I believe that rating and reviewing fanfiction should be approached differently than published works and am uncomfortable with my work(s) being critiqued in this way.

Book-Binding and Typesetting

All binding & typesets of my work(s) will require explicit permission from me by the reader and binder. This includes but is not limited to: personal use, gifts, and trades.

I DO NOT allow commissions of my work(s).

Fandom is free and should be treated as such.

My work(s) should never be printed on a for-profit site (such as LuLu’s) and if permission is granted, hand-bound only.

I do not permit bindings or typesets of my work(s) to be part of sales for profit, auctions, giveaways, or placed behind a paywall/Patreon. Do not sell, or offer typesets/bound books on any site with monetary compensation, including but not limited to Etsy and/or Patreon.

To obtain or inquire about permission, please feel free to reach out to me on any of my socials (scarcurrierhp or spicyxpisces) or by email [email protected]

A.I.

Art

I do not approve the use of AI in any connection to my writing whether it be fanart or binding. This includes but is not limited to in depth editing of art generated from platforms like Midjourney.

Writing

I do not approve of feeding my writing into any AI platform(s) to write spin off fics based on my work. If you are wanting to write a fic based within the universe of my work(s), please reach out for approval. AI should never be used to create that work(s).

Collections

I am approving requests for adding my works to collections on AO3. As stated above, if the maintainers of the collections begin to hide their collections (which therefore hides my works), I will revoke this permission.

Translations

I do not give permission for any of my works to be translated.

Fancrafts/Products

I do not permit any merch or products (i.e. canvas bags, shirts, mugs, pins, stickers, candles, etc,) to be created referencing my work(s) or spicyxpisces in search terms, descriptions, or tags made for sale.

Again, fanfiction is free and I’m extremely uncomfortable with the thought that someone could monetize off of something I created and shared for free.

Transformative Works

My work(s) is permitted for podfics, writing inspired by my stories, art, playlists, etc. as long as no donations are being given via venmo, ko-fi, etc. to record my work or monetize on spotify or other platforms.

No permission is needed to create edits or videos regarding my work(s), if anything, please share so I can also brag about your skills to create such beautiful interpretations.

Miscellaneous

Lastly, I do not permit reuploading or reposts of my work(s).
