Hey guys when you’re ranting about a ship, which is well in your right! I do it too! Don’t tag THAT ship, that’s annoying, sure you might hate that ship but tagging it without “slander”/ “bashing”/ “anti” you’re just being a bit of a dick, you’re pushing your slander of said ship onto the shippers who just want to enjoy it; so cut that out.
On that note, STOP shaming ao3 authors and their works, they are NOT the same as published authors. On that note, slandering ATYD or Manacled is ten times more different than slandering something with 100-10,000 hits, hell it’s different when that other fic has 100,000! And that difference is that the former fics mentioned, have millions, MILLIONS of reads, ATYD has TWLEVE MILLION reads, Manacled has half of that, and even then, TAG THE SLANDER, if you’re talking about these either INSANELY POPULAR, OR INCREDIBLY HARMFUL fics, tag it, don’t just put it under the FIC’S NAME TAG.
Fandom etiquette and general fanfiction etiquette are important.
Unless it’s harming someone or endorsing something harmful, it’s not that big of a deal.
ALSO ALSO STOP TRYING TO CENSOR AO3 THAT’S DEFEATING THE POINT OF THE WHOLE SITE YOU DIPSHITS, AO3 IS NOT LIKE WATTPAD OR TUMBLR. IT IS AN ARCHIVE.
IN THE LITERAL MEANING IT IS AN INTERNET LIBRARY!
STOP IT
(Edit: Said something contradictory last time so I changed the tags a little bit, I’m very anti censorship there are no exceptions like I made it seem like I was saying, lmao sorry for the confusion)
