It is a fan site. There are million others available or you can find the source material or just an original book?

I wrote shit when I was 16. Some of it turned out to be problematic in a number of ways. Hell yes I will delete stuff that turned out to racist or sexist or whatever else just because I had not learned better and I would hope those who lost THOSE fics would find better tbh.

NAYRT, but if everyone stopped reading racist, sexist, or otherwise “problematic” works, no one would read Shakespeare. Not that I’m saying someone’s teenage typo and stereotype-riddled fic is Shakespeare, but fic doesn’t have to be perfect to mean something to someone, or for it to be their favorite fic they reread over and over again. Now, with AO3’s “orphan” function, you can disavow work you’re ashamed of without deleting work someone somewhere really loves.

No one cares about my fic as it stands now. No one loves it. I'm not some heavily followed author. Shakespeare didn't know he was problematic. He thought he was progressive. That sort of argument is derailment. I know, right now, that my fic in the past few years has issues while I the author is around to say sorry and remove it.

You might be surprised and someone may love what you wrote

Or... You can put a huge disclaimer of, "I no longer think like this I was sixteen."

God, you sound like a Tumblrite. MUST BE PURE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW.

As someone who doesn’t have a tumblr, will you shut up about tumblr and its denizens for a minute? Tumblr is not a hivemind, it’s a blogging/social media site. And spitting on the users of a site where traffic dropped by, idk, 40% since the official adult content ban kicked off, for their purity is ridiculous.

Most of the pushback against tumblr users I’ve seen sounds indistinguishable from right-wingers whinging twenty years ago about “political correctness gone mad” when they meant “couldn’t beat up gays and call unwedded women whores anymore.” The tiny percentage of tumblr users eating their own for not being progressive enough are loud the same way right wing idiots protesting BLM activists by setting their Nikes on fire are loud.

Every political group and every blogging platform has idiots. Block and ignore them and move on.

Well put nonny.

[ayebydan]

I will from now on nonny.

Also lol. You sound...really pathetic for calling me that. Nonny below summs up my thoughts.

I am far from pure. I would just like to do my bit to not influence people in what I feel is a negative way now I feel differently. That is where published authors and fanfic ones have a different ability or they used to. I used to be able to remove things but seems I was wrong and I will take that info forward with me. Good day nonny.
