Lol. I don't think of those are the worst kind of rpf though, considering politician rpf exists.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL It's actually pretty cool that you both became close enough to tell each other you're into bandom/youtuber RPF because none of my coworkers know that I'm a huge fandom nerd kid.

Right there with you, OP. You're not wrong about fandom becoming ever more hostile, to the point where it's putting me off fandom in general. No one is entitled to fanworks in perpetuity, or at all for that matter.

[(Anonymous)]

This secret seems weirdly OTT hostile.

But I agree with downloading what you want to keep. Most fix is on AO3 and it couldn’t be easier to save what you want. It’s odd to me how many people don’t do it. I wonder if most of current active fandom came along after AO3 and just never had to deal with entire libraries of fic disappearing overnight without warning.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a fic writer but I read more than I write these days and honestly I fully support writers deleting their fic whenever they want. Yeah it sucks a bit to see that someone has deleted a fic I really liked, but it's ultimately not my work and has been shared with me, if the writer really wants it gone that's their call frankly. Hell I knew writers that would delete all their fic when they moved fandoms, I didn't understand that personally but it was their choice and I'd be confused but not argue with it. People have their reasons for deleting fic and it's their business, not mine.

I've been saving fic since the great Geocities purge as I wrongfully presumed that service would keep going forever, it taught me to save the fic I really liked so I could always have a copy even if a website should get fully nuked from the internet for good. Love the fic you love but have a back-up just in case, because you never know how or why a fic might be gone.

[lokiofsassgaard]

What some people don't really seem to understand about orphaning fic is that it's a loaded concept that removes ownership. If an author orphans a fic, it's inherently disowning the work, which is not the same as removing it from public view. The former says that the author recognises that the fic has taken on a life of its own, and that the author wants to hold no association with it ever again. The latter says that the author very much still associates themselves with the fic and does not want other people to have access to it.

They're both extremely valid, but they are not the same, and do not fill the same role for the author. I've just purged both my AO3 accounts, and have been very public about this fact because I'm very fed up with the direction fandom has gone. I have my own website where my fic can live, because I've decided it's 1995 again, and I liked it better when we all lived in the land of newsletters and private hosting. This isn't the the way for everybody, and that's fine. I'd rather have half a dozen hits on a fic and know that I'm far less likely to wake up to whatever the hell was going on in my AO3 inbox every time I posted a new fic with a pairing tumblr doesn't like.

[(Anonymous)]

As a writer, orphaning a fic isn't something I could ever do, especially an incomplete fic.

It makes me sad when I can no longer find a fic but I know an author has their reasons to delete their works, no matter the reason IMO it's valid.

They created the thing and if they want to clean it off the internet they have every right and freedom to do so.

"rehashing your past glory" lmao it's called earning a paycheck

Also, considering filming commercials is not considered breaking the picket line? Expect a LOT of commercials that feature actors (both big and small) until the actor's strike is over

[(Anonymous)]

Show me on the doll where the commercials hurt you.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, they're probably getting some serious money for it. But yeah, I looked up that commercial and it was lame.

[(Anonymous)]

destroying the breaking bad brand lololol

This is one of those fandoms for me where the premise is a lot more interesting than the execution... Your secret is a really interesting concept that I would be intrigued to see another series explore.

Oh wow, I did not expect to see an Iwaihime secret on this day! (On any day, really.)

Kanae does have some cute moments! Her arc was easily my favorite one in the game.
