How are they not petty? Being annoyed by it because it's "panhandling" is like the definition of petty.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh. I don't like it when strangers ask me for money, either. That seems fair, especially if doing so violates AO3's rules.

[(Anonymous)]

not having them on AO3 fair enough - it is against their ToS, but calling it panhandling, for mentioning it in an a/n when they have spent hours writing something which a reader is now enjoying for free? not the same.

I also don't have an issue with it beacuse a) easy to ignore b) most peeople don't even bother commenting, which is prettys shit and selfish really

(mind you, I also give people in need money when I have the spare, so maybe that is why I have a different view).

It's a writer's choice to write fanfiction. Nobody's forcing them to spend hours writing it without pay. Most people write fanfiction with the full understanding that they're doing so for fun, not for compensation... because that's how fanfiction and most fanworks have worked for quite some time.

I don't object to people putting a ko-fi, etc. widget on their personal pages, but your argument is pretty feeble.

[(Anonymous)]

This. People have been writing fanfiction for fun (and for free) for decades. If you want to spend hours writing something and get paid for it, write your own original works. That's easier to do now than ever before with the advent of self-publishing.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah and if you ask money for fanfiction I do hope you pay the original writer too, since you're taking advantage of them and their creation. You write fanfiction because it already has a fanbase and thus earning is easier, but very much questionable. Try making money with your own stuff.

Hey, could you give me some money :( My sisters brothers cousin got kicked out for being bi :( So... I... I mean they need like $600 .... :( So um... please give me some money. I am literally the only person on the internet who needs money so, uh, you're all kinda scum for not giving me any.

[(Anonymous)]

^ Yep. This is why it's not "petty" to dislike being asked for money by randos on the internet.

I agree that any request for donations that includes this is BS. I've also literally never once seen a request for donations that includes this.
