Fellas, fellas
Why on earth are you BUYING PHYSICAL HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION????
ACTUALLY WHY ARE YOU EVEN MAKING HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION TO SELL?!?!?!
IF ANY OF YOU DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS, GET OUT!! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN.
In all seriousness though, authors on AO3 have begun to pull their works off of the site to avoid getting sued by people stealing their works to make a pretty bound book for profit. Entire accounts could be shut down as well.
Listen, Iâm all for saving favorite works by printing them out and putting them in a binder, or learning how to make a book for a fanfic, but seeking them is where I draw the line.
Literally the entire point of AO3 is that you can read it FOR FREE.
It is DISRESPECTFUL for people to make money off of hardbound copies because guess what, the original creators of these fics get nothing. We are literally only writing fanfiction for our own pleasure.
Buying and selling book-bound fanfiction is also ILLEGAL YOU DUMB SHITS. Itâs an immediate violation of copyright law. The original fan work will get erased from the internet.
Fanfiction is already a legal grey zone since they are works being written about are protected by copyright. Copyright holders can in fact go after writers as well as the person who sold the fanfiction.
This also goes for people who steal fanart and, claim it as theirs, and put a price on it.
Donât make it worse.
Bookbinding fanfiction for profit is literally ruining things for everyone. DONâT.

When I say this brought up memories of when my mom was buying a car and they tried only addressing my bio fatherâ
And although my bio father isnât a good person, when my mom did the same thing and he backed her up⌠the look of horror. I was like 13 when that happened. Itâs sad that this is no doubt a common experience.
i am a rich man
words: 1k
warnings: misogyny, brief mention of violence, reader is a kook
a/n: im on vacation starting tomorrow monday 1/22-friday so i will not be posting any new fics for this week!
âhave you decided what car you want baby?â rafe asks, pressing a kiss to your cheek as you scroll through the dealerships website.
âiâve narrowed it down to two.â you tilt your phone towards rafe, letting him look at one car before navigating to the other tab to show him.
âwhy donât you test drive both and decide after that? and if you like both, just buy both.â rafe shrugs. it was weird for him at first being with someone who had even more money than his family, but now heâs grown used to it, liking knowing you can support yourself if needed, even though rafe likes to buy most things for you.
âgood point.â you hum. âiâd have to park one on the driveway though, my dad is only giving me one spot in the garage.â you pout. your dad has a mild obsession with sports cars, and therefore three of the four spots in the garage were already taken.
âlets not worry about it now, figure it out after you see them in person.â rafe says, and you nod, getting up off the couch to head to the dealership, glad that rafe agreed to drive you and test the cars with you, mainly because you didnât want to spend the day without him.
itâs a long drive to the nearest dealership that had cars in your price range, but you donât mind as you sing along to your favorite songs playing through rafes trucks speakers, always letting you be the dj even if he canât stand some of the girly pop songs that you play.
âalmost there.â rafe reaches over, squeezing your thigh as the dealership finally comes into view.
âthank god.â you groan. âmy butt is starting to go numb.â
âdonât talk about your butt when we are about to be in public.â rafe warns, glancing over at you as you giggle.
âsorry baby.â you say, in a voice that tells rafe that youâre not at all sorry.
âlet me drop you off at the front, iâll park the car then join you inside.â rafe says upon pulling in and realizing that there are no close parking spots, and he doesnât want to make you walk outside for longer than he has to.
âmmkay, thanks baby.â you lean over and press a kiss to his cheek, always extra appreciative and lovey on rafe when he does sweet things for you, even if its just something little.
you hop out of the truck, heading inside the main showroom of the dealership.
âhello, maâam!â a sales associate instantly hurries over to you. âiâm john, did you have an appointment?â
âno, but iâve checked out your inventory online and i know what iâd like to test drive today.â you say with a fake smile right back, already not liking the condescending attitude that john is giving off.
âalright, well lets take a seat at my desk and you can tell me your budget.â john walks you over to his cubicle, and before he can begin talking youâre joined by rafe.
âthis is my boyfriend, heâs helping me pick out a car today.â you say as he sits down next to you, reaching over and looping your fingers through his, already eyeing up john as he tries to size him up.
âhello, sir.â john smiles. âso what is your budget?â he addresses the question at rafe, making your eyebrows scrunch together.
âwell,â you answer, making johns gaze flick quickly to you, âbudget isnât an issue. i know what two cars i would like to look at.â
âokay, if you just want to tell me the models i will pull them up.â john turns the computer screen so you all can see as you tell him the two cars that peaked your interest the most.
âand i assume you will be financing?â he hums. you glance at rafe, shocked that he would have the audacity to assume anything.
âno.â rafe answers for you. âin full.â
âokay, that makes sense that you will be paying, sir.â john says, nonchalantly as if he didnât just imply that you wouldnât be able to afford the car.
âas said before, i will be the one purchasing the car, so while my boyfriend is here to help me, i am your customer.â you clear up, hand squeezing rafes as you try to hold back your anger, knowing you can get just as fired up as him.
âsorry, just donât see many young women being able to buy cars like these outright.â he says before quickly switching the subject, going through some of the specs of the vehicles. âand the cost on that one is $94,000.â
âwait a minute.â you rub your forehead, getting tired of this mans bullshit. âwhile i said money was no issue, that doesnât mean that iâm going to let you get away with scamming me. that car is worth no more than 75.â
âwell, maâam, there are various-â
âno.â you shake your head. âi have done my research on these vehicles and i know that ever 75 is on the high end.â
âlet me double check my figures.â john swallows nervously, turning the screen so only he can see it as you send a look at rafe, seeing heâs struggling just as much as you not to reach across the desk and smack the misogynistic sales associate across the face.
âmy apologies, i must have accidentally selected an additional maintenance package. it is $74,000.â john says.
âthat sounds much more reasonable, but i will not be purchasing a car from someone who tries to scam me out of my money just because they think iâm a dumb girl. get me a different sales associate, now.â you command.
john scurries away from the desk, the stark opposite of the cockiness air that he had when you first arrived.
âjesus, youâre hot when youâre scary.â rafe says, looking you up and down as you smirk at your boyfriend, knowing while youâre usually sickly sweet, when a man irks you wrong, it brings out your full wrath.

Fanonicalâs queue is currently paused, & our regularly scheduled content will not be published for a little while. With all the shit going down with the CEO and how he personally moved the tumblr mountains to ban a bunch of trans women whilst ignoring their reports of their stalkers, harassers & abusers for years, Iâm just not comfortable posting regular content until this gets more attention.
This website has become completely inhospitable to trans women and transfem people. Even many of the trans guys I have seen over the last few days have joined in and taken a billionaireâs side over the young woman he obviously publicly punished for being trans.
This blog should be considered on pause for a little bit. There will still be posts here, but they wonât be your regular fandom content. I was looking through all our notes today and everybody is just ignoring the political content in favour of fandom. I get it, but in this case, the fandom content stops until people start giving a shit about the way trans girls are treated on this website.
