I've always wondered what fandom lovers turned authors had fanfic accounts. Like I still wonder if Stacey Abrams has fanfic floating around out there.

Back to the topic, it's probably wise to orphan or delete fic if you aspire going pro no matter what.

Stacey Abrams DEFINITELY has fic somewhere. She's a published romance/thriller novelist. No way she hasn't written sexy fic for fun.

[(Anonymous)]

Bruh, I thought you meant the politician and was super confused

I wonder about Rachel Maddow a lot. She has made references from time to time that made me go "...is she in fandom?"

And well gee, not like there's not a significant number of lesbians about my age in fandom... ;)

Of course since it's Rachel, she'd definitely never be found if she didn't want to be.

I understand your anxiety, especially with what happened with Tamsyn Muir. But you should remember that wanky terminally online people are a vocal minority. Authors like Naomi Novik, N.K. Jemisin, Arkady Martine and Ursula Vernon (who have written fic or are still writing fic) are successful and seem to be doing all right.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope Tamsyn Muir is at least enjoying the last laugh over how much hot fic is being written for her books!

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, what happened?

[(Anonymous)]

that person is also not by far the only one that's happened to as i assume you know

[(Anonymous)]

This is one big reason why I never, ever want to write YA. I'll stick to adult SFF with sex scenes in it, just so no one ever thinks anything about my work is meant for kids.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's hurt Claudia Gray's selling power at all. She's got gobs of books out there - comic books, YA original series, Star Wars novels. I'm still honored she wrote some fanfic for me back in the day.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sad that she's privated her fic. I loved her XMFC fics.

[(Anonymous)]

I have zero fear of antis, but yeah, I would never want it to be public knowledge that I (offline me not fandom me) wrote anything super controversial. I've never written anything DD;DNE but I do have a controversial OTP, so in a hypothetical world where I was a published author and my name could potentially get linked to my fics, I would probably orphan them.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're writing YA you don't need anything as dramatic as sexy fanfics for a mob to come and attack you.

[(Anonymous)]

True, but if some people who read a YA author's book are on the fence about whether or not an imperfectly written gay character in the book is worth joining that angry mob over, finding out the author also wrote incest fanfic a long time ago might give them that extra push.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for planning on orphaning them instead of just deleting. You never know what is someone's favorite fic ever.

[(Anonymous)]

I have that same fear, OP, and I also plan on orphaning my works if I ever managed to get published.

[(Anonymous)]

It's this line of thought that makes me hesitate posting any sexy times fic (and or non/dubcon fic etc.). What if I end up working with kids? What if I end up publishing something etc. Etc. Will people find this ended up stuff or...?

[(Anonymous)]

So many people on this website are acting oppressed because they're not allowed to share porn on the same account where they advertise their works to 12 year olds. When you get hired to a new job and they ask you to introduce yourself, do you start off by listing all your preferred sex positions too? Favourite dildo size? You guys know that you wouldn't have needed to fear the big bad scary cancel crowd if you would just post your porn under a sock?

[(Anonymous)]

when are you going to fuck off out of this comm no one likes you

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, in a way you're not wrong but you also simplify this far too much. It's not always so clean cut where professional works begin and fannish works stop. This happens both in art (people doing commissions, getting into professional circles through fandom spaces etc.) and writing (people publishing their original fiction alongside fanfic and one day publish their origfic). And as you know, the internet doesn't forget anything so even if someone switches their fanwork to a sock, chances still are someone will know and remember them and start shit.

[(Anonymous)]

"I'm worried that-"

"WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO OPPREEEEEEEEEEESSED?!?!?!"

[(Anonymous)]

Are you one of the 12 year olds?

[(Anonymous)]

TIL that YA aka young adult is somehow for 12-year-olds and not... People in fucking college.

[(Anonymous)]

It has been ages since I wrote fan fic but when I still did, most people used a pen name and I didn't know anything about most authors.

I don't really understand this problem, I guess. For me it seems common sense to keep your fan fic and your original stories separated, if your intention is to get published, and it shouldn't be a big deal?
