They can only "ruin your life" if they connect your fannish identity to your RL identity.

(Screen-shotting your fics to prove how awful you are? Really? I can't understand how that even works, but it is such a nasty thing to say!)

have you SEEN what some people on tumblderp do to go after people and 'prove' their wrongs in callout posts.

I know its cool to be like "pfff nobody would ACTUALLY do this, but when you've seen people reach certain levels of petty and obsessed its understandable to be nervous.

No, but I've heard enough to mostly avoid tumblr.

This is not unique to Tumblr. When was on Yahoo!Groups back in the late '90s, a fan outed the object of her ire as a slash writer to that person's conservative Christian employer. I'm sure this stuff went on pre-internet too, it's just that news didn't travel as far or fast then.

I'm assuming the screen shots are so that even if you delete or orphan the fic, they have proof that the story existed and was connected to your account name. That way, if there's something in the story they object to, you can't escape their wrath, either by pretending the fic didn't exist/wasn't yours, or by deleting it in an attempt to appease critics, because it will live on in their screenshots forever.

No shit. I know how blackmail works.

I was responding to the person who appeared to not understand the purpose of the screen shots (generic "you").

Re: OP

Well, aren't you just charming? Maybe people won't need screen shots.

I love how that particular brand of Tumblerite assumes screenshots actually prove anything. Because it's totally impossible to photoshop screenshots or manipulate them through other means...
