#stop selling fanfiction

I did not want to have to make a post about this, I try and stay out of drama the best I can but I feel like in the case I have no choice.
For the past couple of years there has been a massive problem of people binding and selling fanfiction. Which is not only (1) rude and disrespectful to the author but (2) super illegal!
Fanfiction has already been a pretty gray legal area, there have been authors who have sued fanfic authors in the past and the only reason it's fine now is because it falls under transformative works. There's a great video by CloeyDoesThings that covers all of this and I highly suggest everyone checks out.
Today I woke up and saw on TikTok that people in the Harry Potter and Marauders fandoms have been taking their fics off of AO3 because people refuse to stop selling them and the authors don't want to be sued. So this has gone from a minor annoyance to a huge problem!
Now I (and other people) worry that AO3 might shut down because of these people. There have been some who have messaged these Etsy fanfiction book binders to try and get them to stop but they either don't want to or don't see a problem with it.
While I am so glad that more people are getting into fanfiction these newcomers need to learn the history of fanfiction and basic etiquette. If anyone is interested I am happy to made a post more on this topic.
Fanfiction is something that I'm really passionate about and I love sharing my stories with people. And I am not the only one, while AO3 getting shut down will not stop any of us from creating it may prevent us from sharing our fics. It will also lead to so many beautiful fics being lost forever.
So, in conclusion, if you are selling fanfiction. Stop. Don't ruin it for the rest of us. Find another way to make a quick buck.

It’s 2024. I’m 31 years old. When will Harry Potter fans stop negatively impacting my life? (This excludes the Marauders girlies (gn) y’all seem pretty cool.)

On one hand, I want to be faithful to myself, work patiently on my passion projects, and publish only the best of my work.
On the other hand, I am so sick of going to work and could totally put my head down and grind out shitty fast fiction and over-the-top erotica to sell for a few bucks a piece on the Kindle store until I have a semi-decent passive income to lean on if I felt like it.

I know the fandoms I write for are relatively niche. Like they're either very small in comparison to popular fandoms or they really just aren't as popular when it comes to fanfiction.
But if I ever find out someone has taken a fic that I have written and sold it, I will wipe any trace of myself from Ao3, Wattpad, Tumblr, etc, except for this post. I will not be dragged down for the selfish mess that someone else has created, but I also won't stand by and let my work be a part of that mess without my knowledge or permission.

STOP SELLING BOUND FANFICTION
Tumblr media
I cannot blame them for pulling their works, in fact I'm proud of them for doing so. Fanfiction is a community of gifting. As authors we write fics and share our works for free. Fanfiction is a weird, fragile, liminal space that can crumble at any time. This fragility needs to be respected.
If you want fanfiction to be around for you to enjoy, then the rules need to be respected!
You can bind fics. You can gift bound fics. DO NOT SELL BOUND FICS!!
Or soon we won't have fanfiction anymore and the world will be much darker for it.

Acres of land as far as the eye can see was before you. Majestic and overwhelming but it was now yours. Inherited from your late father, Edward, you had no choice but to return home to his prize. The ranch he loved second ONLY to you, too precious for you to just sell.
Patches of woods and forests littered with game even open fields for horses to run wild until tamed. There was a beautiful garden that stretched around the ranch, a pond with a family of ducks. A river with a strong current that only the toughest even dare swim in, flowing just along the ranch’s right side.
The terrain was intense but luckily your father made sure he left you with a great team to help you out.

I'm going to try to be as nice as I can. If you are having full on meltdowns and panic attacks because Chris Evans got married, please seek out for a psychiatrist. And if you consume so much media, if your life revolves around a celebrity to that extent, turn off the computer, lay off the fanfic, stop consuming media with them, stop consuming fanfiction. Just stop it.
Chris didn't sell you any fake image, the fans who were here before marvel, we knew about his frat guy personality, he openly talked about what part of a woman's body he found it attractive, he openly talked about how he's always thinking inappropriate jokes, y'all made a imaginary version of him, and then got upset when he didn't fit that image. People are not a piece of paper, they are multifaced, he can easily be a party frag guy and a family guy. It's not an impossible thing,
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm genuinely worried for some of y'all. I'm going to tag this with every male celebrity with a heavy female audience and fanatics that I can think of, because it's becoming ridiculous and scary.
I was here in the 2010s, when fandom was at one of its peaks, I saw girls leaking each other's address because of fandom wars, I had my number leaked, just because I made fun of One Direction at the time, I saw girls stepping over each other at events just to get a peak of their favorite singer or actor, y'all are acting just the same, but this time is way worse, because a lot of you are full grown ass adults. I saw people threatening to hurt themselves because of this marriage. I heard that Pedro Pascal was stalked a few weeks ago, people are having public meltdowns because of Timothée Chalamet, there's still people stalking Henry's girlfriend. There are still people dissecting every single move that Zawe does. Seek professional help. Stop consuming fanfiction, don't just decrease the quantity, stop consuming it for at least 3 months.
I don't know when y'all will understand they are actors, singers, models, they are here to sell a product so we can consume their product. We can enjoy a little harmless fun sometimes, we can imagine what it would be like to be next to them, or date them, be their friend, we can imagine that, but there's a point where you have to back up, rethink your life choices and see what's missing in your life. Please seek help, immediately

Let me be CLEAR.
HATING ON FANFICTION WILL NEVER BE VALID.
It is a labour of love. IT IS NOT FOR YOU. MOST OF THE TIMES, THE AUTHOR WRITES IT FOR THEMSELVES OR FOR THEIR MUTUALS. IT'S NOT A MONETIZED SERVICE THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO GROUNDS TO HATE ON THE STORY OR THE AUTHOR.
Can you critique it? Sure. Can you offer new perspectives about the storyline or characters? Sure.
BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GET ON SOCMED LIKE IG AND TIKTOK AND CRITICISE AN AUTHOR FOR A FANFIC YOU DIDNT LIKE. THATS PEAK ENTITLEMENT AND YOU DONT DESERVE ANY OF IT. FANFIC AUTHORS OWE YOU NOTHING.
As it concerns the recent Ao3 issue with people binding and SELLING (monetizing work that's not theirs/copyright) fanfics, IT IS ILLEGAL.
STOP MONETIZING FANFIC! ITS NOT YOURS! THE CHARACTERS & UNIVERSE DO NOT BELONG TO YOU. THEY BELONG TO WHATEVER FRANCHISE/COMPANY WHICH HAS THE RIGHTS TO THEM!
Y'ALL WILL NOT RUIN AO3 FOR ME.

Secrets Doppelganger Francis Mosses X Wife Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> [ TW ]: Slight Angst
-> [ Video Game ]: That's Not My Neighbor
-> [ Pairings ]: Doppelganger Francis Mosses X Wife Reader
-> [ W.c ]: 962
-> [ A/n ]: This fanfiction has been replaying in my head for a week now so I finally decided to write it down in a fanfiction. Between me and y'all the milkman isn't really my cup of sweet tea but I still like him because of his design anyways let's get on with it! 😜 P.S. this isn't proofread so there might be some misspelling I will fix it later though!!!
Tumblr media
You stare at the black screen of the TV as the sound of ticking from the clock on the wall and dishes behind you clink as they touch each other.
You pick at your hands nervously still staring at the blank TV, your breath picking up as you hear the humming of your “Husband” behind you pouring the tea into the porcelain cups you two shopped for together on your 2nd anniversary.
The humming continues as the sound of the plates underneath the cups being picked up and the footsteps walk towards you on the couch.
You hold your breath, closing your eyes as your “husband” places one cup in front of you and holds the other while sitting down.
You quickly grab the teacup and grasp it tightly.
You close your eyes as you feel the heat between your hand and your heart rate picking up. Your “Husband” starts to take sips from his cup taking small breaks in between.
You glance at him from the side of your eye to see the side of his face. You move your eyes downward and see he still has the clean white shirt of his milkman uniform on with the small black bow tie undone and still hanging under his collar and his usual milkman hat resting in between you two.
“You are not my husband…are you?” You question in a low voice, your heart rate picks up even more as the sound of sipping besides you stops abruptly.
Then the sound of the teacup being placed on the coffee table before you is heard.
“Mmm… What makes you think that beloved?” It asks you as you feel his… no, it's stare piercing the side of your head as if you have laid your head on two needles.
“You're not my husband…” you repeat, you can feel yourself gulping unconsciously as you breathe out through your nose.
“I ask again sweetheart what makes you think that?” It asks again as it reaches for your clenched hand in your lap.
It grabs your hand and holds it tight, it almost feels like how Francis would grab your hand when you're nervous but it also feels different…cold, unfeeling, fake, velvety.
“My love, why won't you look at me?” It asks as it tries to put its face in your line of sight.
You quickly turn your head the opposite way.
“How long? How long have you been pretending to be my husband” you question it again.
You hear a hand moving across the couch and a quiet thump on the ground as the milkman hat falls on the ground.
You can feel it scoot closer to you on the couch almost as if it's trying to get under your skin.
It wraps its arm around your shoulder and pulls you closer. You feel colder as you can feel its breath on your ear.
“What are you talking about my dear wife? This has always been me.” It whispers in your ear.
“LIES!!” you shout as you push it back standing up and turning around to face it.
You turn and finally look at its face.
Its eyes black holes with a white dots staring back at you, its skin pale almost as pale as the milk Francis sells, its mouth a wide gape almost as if it's trying to smile. You hear a faint “Hoon…” coming from it as it just sits there staring, observing.
It tilts its head as it moves to sit on the edge of its seat on the couch. Its white dots for eyes drift towards your mouth as it's open in shock and back towards your eyes.
You hug yourself as you back up tears dripping down your face.
“What have you done to him?” You say as you back up towards your bedroom.
It stands up slowly, too slowly for a human to manage; it turns its whole body to you.
“Nothing at all, I am him.” It says but it mouth, it doesn't move an inch it's like it's coming from inside of him.
“Liar, where's my Francis?” You say as you back up some more.
It walks closer to you and backs you up to the wall. It grabs your left shoulder with one hand and with the other grabs your chin to make you stare in its eyes.
You gasp again and relax a little as you stare into its eyes slowly seeing the monster melt into your husband, Francis again.
“Hoon…” It chants softly as it brings your face closer to him.
“Francis” you whisper as you slowly breathe.
“That's it, it's me sweetheart.” He says as he smiles a bit.
You smile softly as you hug him. “I'm sorry I freaked out Francis.” You say as you close your eyes.
“Mmm…It's alright sweetheart, maybe it's time to go to bed?” He questions as he pulls you away from him to look at him again.
You start to feel drowsy as you stare into his eyes and nod. “Y-yes I haven't been getting sleep lately.”
Francis turns you around and starts to push you gently to your shared bedroom with him following you.”It has been a long day, hasn't it?” He says gently as he turns around to close the door behind him.
He stares into the mirror facing your shared bedroom room and it shows his real form with black holes for eyes and a wide gaping mouth.
He glares at the reflection of himself a bit scolding himself for almost letting his true self slip to you.
“Yes, it has been my love.” Your voice is heard behind him. He turns around to glance at you and then back to the mirror before shutting the door to the bedroom.

Hello! Just found out that fanwork bans are a thing due to a post about Archie. Creators try to ban people from writing fanfiction or creating fanworks about the characters due to reason such as protecting copyright, authors emotional attachment to characters, or aversion to NSFW depictions of characters.
Whats your opinion on fanwork bans? Is it truly an infringement of copyright if fanworks aren't actively profiting off the original work?
I don't really have an opinion. Disney can stop people from painting public murals of Disney characters if they want to, and they can stop people writing Mickey and Donald slash if they want to, or they can try. That's absolutely their right.
I think there are hundreds of shades of grey on this, and the place I am, currently, is that I am happy for people to write stories with my characters in them, or to make things for each other, and I'd mostly rather not know about it, but I'm generally happy that art is being made. I'm happy to turn a blind eye to all the people currently making Good Omens stuff they are selling on Etsy, whilst also knowing that it's possible that one day some of the people to whom Good Omens might be legitimately licensed might want to close some or all of that down, on the grounds that they've actually paid for, say a license to make badges or to reproduce things.
So that's my opinion. It's a sort of a shrug and a sure, I think people can do whatever they want with their stuff, including asking other people not to make fiction or things inspired by it. The other people may or may not listen. (And as for Is it truly an infringement of copyright if fanworks aren't actively profiting off the original work? The answer is, I'm not a copyright lawyer, and every time I've ever asked an actual copyright lawyer I was paying for information a question, the first thing they do is to nod, and give a very small sigh, and then they begin, "Well, it's not actually that simple...")

I don't think people responding to the scrambled "uh oh, we got caught" Tumblr AI announcement with "just nightshade and glaze all the art you post guys! it's your own fault if you don't do that small step! It's ok we'll get through this!" are Getting It:
Everything has already been scraped, including the account you haven't been able to access since 2015. Yes even the private, locked sideblogs of all your old art. Did you glaze it? did you nightshade it? in 2015? can you log in and check? no? Opted in.
This also includes any writing, creative or otherwise, posted to Tumblr. Did you nightshade the poetry and fanfiction you posted to Tumblr on your old account in 2018? why not? not a plan-aheader huh? Opted in!
It's opt in by default and by design. People who left Tumblr ages ago will likely not hear about this and won't know to regain account access and opt out. People who have died won't be able to log in and opt out. People who deleted past accounts or sideblogs won't be able to log in and opt out. People whose content is reposted here from Pixiv or other external sources by unrelated third parties won't have any way to say "hey half of that blog is MY stuff. Opt ME out."
Sorry. They just have everything ever put on the site. And you didn't opt out in 2015 when you lost access to your login email, so it's included. This is on purpose because they don't WANT people to be able to opt out, they want people to stay opted in saying "well my art sucks so I'm poisoning the data model 👍" while posting jokes and creative writing, they WANT you to say "well I'm unaffected" and keep posting photos and text and stuff. Midjourney wants that and Tumblr wants to do anything it can to satisfy Midjourney and scrape some cash out of that deal.
I'm sorry because I love this place too, but genuinely the decisions being made here are business decisions being put into place by a company trying to squeeze the last drops of blood out of a stone. Tumblr is not your friend. Staff is not your friend. Automattic is not your friend. The CEO has hopefully PROVEN he is not anyone's friend. This is a business first and a product that they are selling, not to you and me, but to advertisers and partners. Tumblr will ensure that Tumblr users see their ads and supply them data.
Frankly I do not trust this company or this website and I cannot in good faith just believe that they're going to look at my opt out checkbox and say "okay! ^_^ we will remove everything Dama has ever said or done from our AI scrape. we promise to do it!" and then actually do it. They already have the data. They can just claim that whatever is produced through machine learning based in part off of my data is unrelated, came from other sources, etc. I do not have trust in this website. I don't see how anyone could at this point.
I feel like I'm watching a trainwreck from the inside and no one wants to get out of their seats and try hopping off into the safe grassy field. Wait, they say. Let's see if the train just climbs back onto the tracks, they say. The fire and explosions are all part of the process, they say. Eventually people will stop panicking or dying and it'll be a smooth ride, they say. Just look at how bright the horizon is.

One Random Headcanon for each OM Character
Lucifer has a small collection of non-cursed records stashed away in his room, which he sometimes listens to them when he feels like it. He used to get one record as a souvenir every time he goes to the human world, but he stopped doing that once they stopped selling records. Though he was happy that records were back in the market again, he was surprised that they’re now treated as luxury items for super fans of various artists.
Mammon isn’t the kind of guy that’s knowledgeable on animals, but he’s an expert on crows and ravens. He can tell which is which and knows a lot of fun facts about them. You could say they’re his favorite animals.
Leviathan, whenever he needs some time to himself, he dives into the aquarium in his room (in his demon form of course) and just relaxes in there. He finds the underwater sounds very calming.
Satan could’ve been a huge Warrior Cats fan if he was introduced to the series.
Asmodeus can actually glow under UV light. More specifically his eyes, horns, and wings. His horns and wings glow cyan while his eyes glow a striking magenta, almost making his eyes the center of attention while dancing under the UV lights.
Beelzebub can accurately guess someone or something’s weight just by holding them. It’s a skill he learned and mastered throughout the years, in fact he thinks his skill is more accurate than a scale. He can also tell if someone lost or gained weight.
Belphegor does NOT do well with coffee. Sure he can get energized after he drinks it, but the second the effects wear off, he falls straight to the floor and goes to sleep.
Diavolo gained his habit of sneaking out the castle due to his desire to enjoy the things he and his father has given to his subjects, he wants to experience the wonders of everyday life. He wants to enjoy as much of it as possible before he's crowned king, as he knows that opportunity would be striped away as soon as he's king.
Barbatos once teased MC by saying exactly what they were gonna say before they could even finish a sentence. The classic “stop copying me!”
Simeon has tried his hand in writing fanfiction before, but just like his writing, he accidentally predicts future events that will happen in whatever series he’s writing for.
Luke tried to prove that he’s not just a kid by renting and watching a horror movie. He couldn’t get past the first scary scene without covering his eyes and whimpering in fear.
Solomon’s very first dish he ever made was an odd combination of mash potatoes and milk, as a weird way to recreate soup. He recalls enjoying it when he made it for the first time.
Raphael’s flavor palate is completely messed up, he can hardly taste any flavor of anything he eats, even things that would usually make a person sick. But he didn’t get this from birth, he got it after a poorly executed prank. He ate a cupcake covered in magma salt and it literally burnt his tongue. But he sort of sees his lack of taste as a blessing, now he can enjoy any kind of food without any judgement on how good it is. …Though this made him a really bad cook.
Thirteen, in all her years of reaping souls, has come to hate people who risk their lives because they think whatever they were doing is cool. Why risk their lives just to do that dangerous stunt? Or do some silly challenge that’s clearly too dangerous for them to handle? She just doesn’t get it. She becomes a lecturing mother towards any stupid human that managed to live after their dangerous stunt, as a way to teach them to NOT risk their lives again.
Mephistopheles may love taking care of horses, but show him any of those horse girl shows or movies? He’ll just roll his eyes and scoff at it. Taking care of these majestic creatures is not some quirky girly hobby in his eyes, and the fact there’s a whole genre of this brings him great shame.

idk if you have a TikTok or if you keep up with the HP fandom over there; but apparently manacled by SenLinYu was posted on Amazon for purchase (not by the author). It’s since been removed but was up for more than a couple days. And there were individuals on TikTok that just didnt understand why others were getting so upset. Like let’s disregard the fact that someone other than the original author profiting off this work, but I actually saw people that were very firm in the belief that they could sell fanfic. Whether that be through book binds, cases like this, or commissions/Patreon. I’m an elder gen Z, and I remember coming into the fanfiction spaces pretty early on maybe like 07-08?? I think I was 9-10 reading HP fics on fanfiction.net and very vividly remember everyone being super specific about “this is not my sandbox, I’m just playing around” or “If you recognize anything, it doesn’t belong to me”. So I’m always surprised by people that really don’t see a problem with it. I’ve even seen people claim that it will either fall within the limits of fair use or that it would be a PR nightmare for someone to go after someone. I guess I was 1.) just wanting to rant about how shortsighted I think it was to someone that was around in fanfic space before 2015 and 2.) get thoughts from an author that I feel like has had several popular/successful fics in the fandom.
Yeah, I've got a TikTok. I never post anything, but I try to share anything people make that's nice about my old fics. I always have this half-assed feeling like I should make things but I don't. (https://www.tiktok.com/@colubrina_)
2. Congrats to Senlinyu on her book deal - very cool!
3. And yeah, I saw that people were doing that, and I wish I was surprised but I'm not. There's always been a not-insignificant part of the dramione fandom that sees the fics as 'belonging to the fandom.' They will post them on sites where the author doesn't want them. They will host PDFs online even when you directly ask them not to. They will rehost fics authors have taken down, orphaning them on AO3 so they can't be stopped. They don't see it as stealing because they see the fics as public property. It was probably just a matter of time before they started trying to host them on Amazon. It's frustrating for sure, but it does feel a bit like 'here we go again.' It certainly doesn't fall under fair use, and I think Manacled might be one of the very few fics that will have a legal department eager to keep it offline so the publisher can make their money from it, but other people will be less fortunate. Fic has become enough of a part of the ecosystem it's not at any kind of risk as an artform. But, yeah, it sucks. Be nice to your authors. Respect their wishes. Don't do this shit.
