I’m still laughing about the person in that ask apparently accusing us of being/calling us an anti??
Like I don’t even understand what that was supposed to be about. 🤔🤣

sure I’ll add “suggestive welcome home discourse”, if the tag I’ve been using “Welcome home discourse” isn’t enough!
You cannot produce fiction, art, or any kind of media and make it public unless you are prepared for it to gain a fandom, and unless you are prepared for what it having a fandom will mean.
When you make your creations public, you are opening them up to public reaction.
You cannot control the reaction your audience has to your art.
When you share your work with the world you have to be ready to lose the completeness of your ownership of it.
People will always create fandoms for media they enjoy.
That means if you are a creator and you share your creations publicly on a wide scale you need to be prepared for:
- critical reactions,
- harsh and negative reviews,
- fanfiction,
- fanart,
- horny fanfiction,
- horny fanart,
- and for people to wildly misunderstand your intentions with your work.
asking people not to write fics is not the same as asking people not to write fics is certainly a hell of a take. 🤣
No.
You don’t get to draw boundaries like that when you create a work of fiction and release it into the world.
Creators have the right not to look at or participate in fan work.
They do not have the right to dictate what fanwork gets to be created.
When you put out a work of fiction and art you do not get to control the reaction that your audience has to it.
That includes the horny reaction.
Rule 34, if it exists, there is porn of it.
When you side with creators who try to police their fandoms you are siding with Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, and Disney against fandom.
