And then you wonder why so much AI generated content is being produced. At some point, fanfiction stopped being seen as a creative outlet that people share to bring themselves and others joy, and started being treated as a way to gain status within the fandom.
i keep seeing people referring to fic drives as work being shared without “reward” for the author and i have to be honest, it bothers me that people are posting on ao3 with their main motivation being recognition and reward. wanting comments and engagement is natural, but i think framing it as reward or a return for your work is kind of indicative that you don’t really understand why fanfiction exists to begin with.
fanfiction exists as a way for authors to express themselves, explore characters and identities and try things out. it’s a creative outlet and you should be writing because you want to do it. not because you want the attention it brings. we lose the culture and motivation behind fandom practices when we commodify them.

cant say shit abt fanfic unless its positive n damn near dick sucking levels of glaze, cant tweet shit mildly critical or negative to the void on your personal acc bc god forbid youll hurt someones feelings n make them not wanna write
fanfiction is a form of writing, which means it’s a form of art, whether it wants to be considered as such or not; should art/writing be subject to critique only when it’s serious and being sold? how can you create something and then refuse to have it discussed, judged or valued?
jestem w stanie zaakceptować, że przez pkp spóźnię się do pracy, ale jeśli przez randomowy 20 minutowy postój ominie mnie pan ślimak, to wejdziemy na drogę prawną
