Fandom can be crazy entitled sometimes. Do what you like what your own work. It's yours! Share it all over the internets, or don't. Publish it! Or don't. Ignore the nutjobs who think that just because you wrote a fanfic they like, you're their bitch forever because FANDOM IS SO IMPORTANT OKAY.

Fandom IS important, what the fuck. Maybe not to you, but it is for a lot of people. Fandom is more than just a place to squee about canon--it's about finding like-minded individuals, making friends, forming relationships, etc. It's a safe-place for many because for many, IRL isn't safe.

Fuck you very much for insinuating that it isn't and ridiculing the people who believe that fandom /is/ important.

I honestly do not understand this mentality. People spend years of their lives dedicated to their chosen fandoms. They establish communities, build websites and journals and blogs, write articles and meta and guides, create fiction and art and videos and music and audiobooks and all those other amazing, time-consuming things. But oh no, it's not like we're a real community or whatever. It's not like fandom is important or anything. It's not like what we do and how we contribute to the fandom is significant in any way. Amirite?

Seriously, fuck you.

Oh shut up "community" anon.

Fandom isn't owed importance over someone's goddamn career.

When the fuck did I say it was, dipshit? I was referring to the way the poster trivialized fandom. Learn how to fucking read.

If fandom is more than a hobby for you that's all fine, but stop pretending it's this grandiose and important ~community~ you are idealizing.

P.S.: Fandom is not and has never been a safe place.

Re: -1

It is an important community, what the actual fuck. Maybe not to you it isn't, but for many, many people it is. Also, I love how you treat "hobbies" like they're insignificant things. Just because I'm not getting paid for my hobbies doesn't mean they're not important. Would you tell a marathoner that their "hobby" wasn't important because they don't gain a check from it?

P.S. For you. You're clearly doing it wrong. I've been in various fandoms going on eight years now and for the most part it has always been my safe place.

There's nothing wrong with your hobby being important to you. In fact, guess what? It's also important to me! But look, anon, there's life outside fandom (and any other hobby) and it's perfectly ok to give priority to things other than fandom, even if that means leaving or deleting stuff.

The community part is also debatable, but right now I'm too sleep deprived to talk at long about that.

P.S.: There's a big difference between creating your own safe space (which basically means just visiting specific sites/following only certain people and *gasp* that's not a fandom exclusive kind of safe space) and considering fandom as a whole a safe place.

Fandom is great and fun but it is NOT more important than anyone's personal well being or career. And that seems to be the point you are missing.

People have the right to do what they want with their own work, it doesn't mean they're scorning you personally or looking down on this "community" but it does mean that they wrote a fanfic and for whatever reason they want to take it down.

Fandom loses things all the time, especially since the invention of the internet, websites go down, chat rooms are long since dead, it sucks but we lose things.

That doesn't mean you get to dictate what people do with their hobby.

Community anon, not everyone in fandom feels the need to control what other people do with their work. Whether it's fic or fanart... it's not your creation, but someone else's. The fact that they've shared it with you (and others) doesn't entitle you to a share in it, nor does it give you control over what the creator does with it.

People aren't ridiculing for believing that fandom is important. They're ridiculing you for believing that YOUR WISHES are more important than the author's when it comes to disposing of the author's work, and that you're using fandom as a flimsy excuse to behave selfishly.
