So my last posting of this was in 2015 so I feel it is time to remake this post so that anyone and every, old fans and new fans, can know exactly what is okay and what is not okay in terms of Shipping Fanart/Fanfic. I will not put this under a read more as it is extremely important to know.

Everything within this post is accurate until proven otherwise. If you have any information in regards to anything like this that is not found on the post, please contact me at thisandthensome.

Important points are bolded

This is a second repost of our original post. I wanted this new in the tags for any new members to the fandom and are not aware of this. I will be reposting it Probably either every 6 or 12 months to keep the cycle going.

Also, eventually I will be making a new page on ths blog that will outline each employee individually, about the information provided below so its not so…clustered.

Quick Summary:

Okay With It:

Kyle, Caleb, All of AH (with rules, see below), Miles, Caiti, Barbara, Matt, Jeremy, Kdin, Lindsay, All of Funhaus, Mica, Tina, J.J., Josh Flanagan, Steffie, Jeremy. The Support Team (Ashley, Neal, Kent, Larry, Matt, Steffie, Trevor, Alfredo)

Not Okay with it so KEEP OUT OF FICS:

Any kids. Jordan Denecour. Burnie’s ex-wife. Ryan’s wife and kids. Millie. Arryn Zech. Iris Jones.

Not only have I been seeing it a lot, but I’ve gotten a few… not complaints, but I’ve been informed of this issue as well - and I figure I’ll make a post to address it. Because yes, this is extremely important, and a lot of the newcomers don’t know.

Geoff Ramsey (Millie)

Back when the fandom was new and baby, and it got the attention of those at Rooster Teeth, Geoff explicitly said do not include Millie in any way into fanfiction. The original post and blog indicating this for proof has been passworded, but I found in fuckyeahot6 a nice summary of the rules, which include it so please, look these over. Some older original rules can be seen in those two links, but recently we’ve acquired the permission from Kyle’s girlfriend that she is now alright with us shipping Kyle. I’ve gone through our chat video with Ryan Haywood and he spoke that anything is alright, because he won’t ever read it so “let the creativity flow”

Some other points of interest that I’ve collected are from a few others. 

Caiti and Jack

Starting with Caiti, when she came into our chat, she told us that she, and Jack, are fine with it just make sure that no harm/noncon/abuse/cheating. You can view her answer here.

Caleb and Jordan Denecour

Caleb has mentioned time and time again, and he was the original one to bring forth Geoff’s request of Mille, that he is fine with the shipping; in fact he enjoys the ones where he dies. And in a TAB podcast at 1:01:55 ish Caleb also says he is alright with fanfics.

However, Caleb’s brother, Jordan, is not comfortable with shipping at all, so please do not include him in anyway , as is the same with all the children of Rooster Teeth that appear on the Game Kids Channel. Just don’t do it.

Kdin Jenzen

Kdin has also gotten an ask and replied to it that Kdin is fine with it, seeing it as a creative outlet and so long as we know it’s fictional, Kdin’s alright with it all.  We got an ask in regards to Kdin’s girlfriend saying no to shipping them, so we asked them and we got a positive confirmation that they are fine with it so long as it’s not explicit/gross. So no psychoteeth or the like.   Kdin does not want anything smut of her. Kdin has also clarified as to what pronouns to use, and Kdin uses female pronouns.

Tina

Tina is okay with shipping, she just asks that we keep the fics morally sound.

Jeremy Dooley

While going through the tags I saw this post here indicating that the new hire Jeremy was more that honoured to be written in fanfics.

Jeremy Dooley is 100% okay with anything written of him! He does like to read things where Trevor dies for some reason though…

Josh Flanagan

Josh Flanagan, creator of Ten Little Roosters and The Eleven Little Roosters, speaks out that it’s fine to have him in your writing. “I’m pretty ambivalent on it. Write away” (source)

JJ

Through our RT guest chats, we’ve tried to get their opinions to take a look through all that. Far as I can remember, they are all ok, with a few rules, JJ’s of no socks with sandals is the best.

Ryan Haywood

In regards to Ryan Haywood, I’ve recently gone back through our chat with him, and he said that anything is okay in regards with him since won’t ever read it - it doesn’t bother him. He understands its a creative outlet.  And it should not have to be mentioned, but please keep Ryan’s kids out of it too. In fact, keep all the kids out of it unless they are an OC child.

Michael and Lindsay Jones (Iris Jones)

As far as we know, theses two are okay with it, but the issue is with Iris Jones. Having a child does inspiring a ton of fanfics being written about this event, which is totally okay! The only this is to keep the baby/child as an OC and not as the actual baby. If this doesn’t make sense imagine Geoff and Griffon having a child, a girl named Rachel instead who’s very much into dresses and dolls. This is just an example.

In response to Game Kids Channel, under no circumstance are you to ship or even write about any of the kids. Jordan Denecour has been asked as well and he is not comfortable with it. While Caleb has said nothing sexual, I ask that we please keep him out of everything. Especially Incest.

Funhaus

Funhaus has said they’re okay with shipping! In fact, its an honour! If anything individually comes up with them, we’ll let you know :D

Mica Burton

Mica Burton gladly welcomes shipping with arm’s wide open and actually cannot wait to see what comes up!

Steffie Hardy

Steffie is honored people even want to create stuff with her in it. Honestly, do whatever you want. She’s okay with shipping!  

The Support Team

Everyone’s good with it. Right from AH’s mouth. This includes Ashley, Neal, Kent, Larry, Matt, Steffie, Trevor, and Alfredo. According to this post where they say whos in the support room.. 

Arryn Zech is not to be written in anything at all.

Keep family out of shipping. This goes for children and wives and siblings. I’ve noticed, and a few others in the community, that there is a rise in ships with Ryan’s wife/mentions of his children, not to mention the blatant disregard for Geoff wanting to keep Millie out of fics. Yes, I’ve seen many fics still having her in them since this post started circulating.

Keep. Family. Out

And another issue that I’ve seen many, many, many, many, many times is that there are shipping things that are tagged with name tags For example, freewood smut tagged with #Ryan Haywood and #Gavin Free, or reader inserts tagged with the person they are with. There is a strict reason why we keep shipping things out or name tags - it brings the hate. While, for the most part, all Ragehappy fans are Rooster Teeth fans, not all Rooster Teeth fans are Ragehappies. They do not want to see anything RPF and when they do, things like hate infect the shipping tags.

I hope this clears up a few things. Please stop writing Millie in fics. Please stop posting fics with name tags.

This post will be updated as new information arises, and I will keep posting it weekly with our ask box open/closings.

Please reblog and share this with other shippers you know of. It is extremely important to spread this information.

If you have any, arguments or comments, send them towards my main account at thisandthensome.

Thank you.

And a huge thank you to everyone that has been sending us information to help make this as accurate as possible!

Happy 4th Birthday Fuck Yeah RT Fanfic!!!!!

Man, sometimes I cannot believe it has already been four full years since I started this blog, and I’ll try to keep this non-repetitive from previous years (X X X) (which is going to be hard!)

I would have never thought that starting something so small because I wanted to help out with this amazing community would turn out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Not only have I had the wondrous time of talking to a lot of you guys, (like holy shit over 6000 followers!?!?!), but I have been able to meet some of the dearest friends of mine, and for the first time this past year, we mt face to face. This blog also has given me an amazing opportunity to be able to reach out to those that work at RT itself and be able to speak with them and hold some Q&A (X).

This blog would not have been able, though, to make it all these years as active as it is without every single one of you guys. Every follower, every person who sends us a request, every person that likes and reblogs (though honestly you guys should like and reblog the original works!!!!) and every person that helps us help this blog function. So thank you, all of you. I wish I could take the time and go to every single one of your ask boxes and send you a personal thank you, but that would take hours if not days (which is honestly not that bad now that I think about it...)

Now I feel like rambling so I’ll start to cut this off.

Everyone should take the time to go to our moderators blogs and send them asks/thank you’s for all the hard work they do every week. These are the guys that are filling your requests so without them, this blog would have nothing:

Ave

Bex

Jyn

Kira

Myo

Nova

Ra

Tea

And these are your wippers, who take the time each week to go through the blog and update all our series fics and make sure new parts are added, new tags are added, and the word count is up to date:

Ave

Myo

Ra

Ky

Em

Taci

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing year, and I cannot wait to see what this next year brings.

I hope you all enjoy the new theme and please let us know what you think!

♥Tats

Hey! If anyone wants to drop by our Discord (which is always open 24/7) feel free to come on by! I’d love to meet and chat with new people (even though I am very awkward at first D:)

We do talk about a lot more than just RT as well, so don’t be shy!

Alrighty people! It’s that time here where I see what you want!

I’ve created a new Google Form for anyone and everyone to fill out to help us understand what you guys would like to see.

It shouldn’t take you more than a minute or two, just click the link above to fill it out and it will helps us help you! 

After much consideration, we have come to the conclusion that we will be re-opening our Submit for things just like this. I will be making a post about it either later today or tomorrow. We used to do this so we could have the community input fics they enjoy, but we had issues keeping up with them and we got lazy to be honest but we feel ready to do this once again!

So keep your eye out for that post!
