Agreed it's okay with racism and pedophilia. Disagree that people should be paid for writing fan fiction.
Why can't we have fun with fan fic? Why does capitalism have to brought into everything? I'm surprised people are fighting for everyone in the fandom community to be competing with each other for money, which everyone (unless they're already extremely rich) already are struggling with in their outside lives.

Fanfic already has enough ego and competition-related problems, all we need to add more monetization to the mix. Fuck that.

It's also important that it has a very low bar to entry for participation. Everybody with internet access can read or write fanfic, which means you can be low-income and still be fully included. If more of it starts to disappear behind paywalls that will just make fandom suck more for everyone.

If you want to make money off it, stick to old properties that are in the public domain. New versions of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes and the like are still popular and sell well.

This. All of this. This is my biggest reason for being against monetizing fanfic. The legal reasons are valid, too, of course, but yeah, this is the part that bothers me the most.

Yes, this. The moment you start trying to monetize fandom, you're excluding people who can't afford to pay for it, and that's against the entire purpose of fandom being for everyone.

Such an important point. Fandom is here for people, regardless of what's in their wallet. And I don't want that to ever change!

Not adulterating or deleting the stories is proof of the archive's integrity and courage. All the accusations I've come across against the AO3, from people who want content censorship, have been flimsy at best.

As a fanfic writer, though, I completely agree with you that profit-seeking has no place there.
