did Not mean to post both of those sigils at once but you know what whatever. hiatus over sigils now
god just trying to avoid my final papers by looking for Demon Slayer Tengen fic on ao3 and it’s all smut or oneshot books >:( want something done right gotta do it myself ig damn
I think the thing that worries me so much about this tumblr plus bullshit isn’t the fact that creators can put their stuff behind a pay wall - for everyday regular bloggers that’s fine! Do what you want I guess.
But fanfiction writers CANNOT do this. Point blank PERIOD!
And some might say “oh but Aeryn it’s a choice! You don’t have to do it!” And, yes I KNOW this. I know it’s a choice. But younger fanfic creators out there may not be aware of the absolute shit show that went down several years ago where people SUED fanfiction writers over their work. And that is dangerous for many reasons.
These companies that own the characters we love do. Not. Care. About us. They will sue us the second some fanfic creator unwittingly uses this paywall to gain money from their fanfiction works. That is illegal. You CANNOT do that. You cannot gain money from fanfiction Bc technically it isn’t yours. The characters and the worlds are not ours and if just one of us gets caught doing it tumblr will get sued and we all know they don’t have the money to fight them and tumblr will go poof.
This post isn’t meant to be rude or demeaning or condescending. I am just genuinely so so worried about this because if it takes off, tumblr as a fandom space is as good as gone. And as much as I call this place a “hell site” I do love it. I love the community I’ve built here and the friends I’ve made and I don’t want to lose it because of the IDIOTS at yahoo want more money.
*sigh* so - please complain to tumblr about this and hope to god it doesn’t actually happen. For all fanfic writers sake.
on top of this vital info - However you feel about the post+ nonsense going on, be sure to save your fanfics/fanarts just in case!
Art theft sucks. Don’t repost/redo creative’s works without permission. If you’re inspired by someone else’s art or writing and want to make something similar/based off of another creative’s work, keep it in your drafts. Don’t post it as your own.
To be inspired by other’s work is natural. To post it as your own is theft.
