Do it anyway, and post in a kink meme (if your fandom has one) or with a sock. Or not--own that ship hate, OP, if it comes down to it. The biggest problem with a lot of fandoms is fans not accepting new things or new perspectives, you know.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

While I think it sucks if fandom seems to collectively have an OTP you don't ship, hate fic just seems so pointless to me. It's coming from a bad place in you and it upsets or hurts other people who just want to enjoy fandom - nobody benefits.

[(Anonymous)]

That baby looks like Andy Richter.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Why not try a parody? I had a lot of success with that several years ago. You'll still get some hate but lots of people actually have senses of humor about their favorite things if you're not just saying "this sucks, I hate it, you suck for liking it" and you're not too mean-spirited.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

If you make it funny--or clever, or creative, or otherwise well-written in a way that captures people's imagination, because humor isn't the only way--then odds are, other people will appreciate it, even if they ship it while you hate it. If you do it just to bash the rest of fandom, though--well, that's kind of dickish. It's okay to not like things, but....

[diorama23.livejournal.com]

Oh. Are you one of those anti-shippers, whose trying to be 'artistic' and 'edgy' by writing the fic that shows all those other fanpeople that they are idiots for shipping that OTP and they just don't get it like you do.

[(Anonymous)]

So make a sockpuppet and write whatever you like!

[(Anonymous)]

What is it with people and "cannons"?

I... what

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I find ship-bashing fics really rude and pointless, even if they are of ships I hate. What is the point besides antagonizing opposing shippers? Why not just write fics about how your ship is meant to be rather than bashing someone else's ships?

[(Anonymous)]

Pairing hate fic is really stupid and you should just spare yourself the effort. Especially if it's about a fandom's OTP. All it does is make you look bitter and angry that no one ships what you ship.

[(Anonymous)]

Cannon with two Ns is artillery.
Canon with one N means work that is accepted as genuine/authentic (think biblically).

That's all I have to say about this (because it drives me crazy every single time I see it).

I would join that community and write major-OTP-hatefic for it. But I'd probably use a sock :D

[yamikaosu.livejournal.com]

...the idea that this causes so much drama kind of goes over my head, to be honest. I mean, yeah, if you're doing that just to troll the fandom, then that might not be the best reasoning. However, in my opinion, it also sounds like a perspective not explored often enough in fics...not all romances work, and just because most people love a ship doesn't meant that there can't be fic in which it doesn't work out.

Maybe that's just me, though.

[lovelycudy.livejournal.com]

I don't get the point of hate fic.

[(Anonymous)]

One hand, OP, they over reacted and really, if that's how someone sees it, that's how they see it.

On the other? If you're just writing something because you hate the pairing that probably isn't the best place to come from for it. If it's because you want to explore the perspective and/or write a parody though? That's a whole different matter, particularly if it's done well and not just bashing being posted under the title of 'parody'.

That said, what is even the point of hate fic? It just seems...pointless to focus on a ship you hate, even to bash it, when you could be focusing on one you love.
