Sorry, I'm out of the loop... how are people trying to commodify fanfiction now?

[(Anonymous)]

I dunno how prevalent it is, but I have seen a few Tumblr posts about how an author will write you a fic tailored to your tastes for X amount of money. Maybe I'm just an old, but that's such a huge no-no for me.

nayrt

AH. Commissioned fics? Charging for it? I mean...I think back to my early days and I guess at the time, I was always too scared to request an author to make a fic according to my designs (and also, I guess I felt that was a very entitled request?). But wouldn't there just be comms or challenges to do this?

Now you've got me thinking if I would be willing to pay for such a thing...I usually just find fics I like, change the names, or write my own. Huh. But yeah, there's something about that...but it's similar to commissioning fanart...do people charge for fan art?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you feel the same way about fanart?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm verging on fandom old status and yeah, I agree. Like, if they want to have a "tip jar" I don't really care, as long as they don't post a link to it on AO3. But anything that's like, "Pay money, get fanfic," or even, "Pay money, get access to the fanfic that is behind a paywall," I'm like, oh yikes no.

[(Anonymous)]

oh god paywalls for fics sounds like something that would actually happen.

I see. I'm older too, and I remember that such a thing was deemed okay if it was like, for a non-profit fundraiser situation. Not if the author was trying to make money off their fanfiction. People were a lot more strict about that back in the day, I didn't realize attitudes had changed so much.
