Re: Can you write about your characters' later lives without seeming like its all about shipping?

Why would you think it was about preventing fanfic?

IDGAF about fanfic, but it's the epitome of supreme control freakery on the author's part if they feel the need to set in stone every single thing that happens in a character's future.

I'm going to let you in on a little writing secret.

Writers know that people will make up stuff about the characters. and that's something that a lot of people usually accept. But when I create a work , and go to all the trouble of coming up with the characters. A lot of personal shit goes into these characters. I don't think it's too fucking much to ask as a writer to want to come up with your own closure for the characters.

Stories have to end sometime. Characters have futures. Would you prefer that every story ends before they become adults with no endings so you poor precious snowflake ego can be protected.

Nobody is saying you have to agree with, or LIKE the ending. But damn it, quit being so damn self centered to tell writers that they can't end their characters' stories, because it gets you all butthurt that the author is personally trying to control their own damn fucking character.

These characters aren't your creations you selfish brat. I will end my character's story how I see fit whether anybody likes it or not.

Let me assure your massive ego- I'm not doing it to hurt your feelings. It's not about you. If I create a character, I'm going to give them the closure I choose.

It's one thing to be mad if the author is actually telling people what to write. But being offended and saying the author is being controlling because they merely chose an ending for their characters is egotistical and selfish.

It's not all about you except in your own deluded mind.

Like I said. Supreme control freakery.

Supremely defensive control freakery at that.

You're arguing that the author cannot simply write an ending that they see fit for their character.

Not saying people have to like it, or go along with it. But you're saying that just writing it is "controlling you" somehow.

You're pathetic.

May all your fandoms have epilogues.

So, if the author of a work, the person who created the characters in question, dares to imagine and write out an ending for those characters...he's a control freak. It's not that he cares for them; it's not that he wants closure for them. It's that he's trying to wrest control away from you, the poor beleaguered reader, who for some reason feels personally slighted by the existence of a concrete future.
