#also on a less prosaic note: increasing the space for people to make stuff you like BY NECESSITY involves

for the record, really, i am literally always okay with people taking the ideas i wrote and doing something else with them. i don’t lay exclusive claim to any idea i put in a fic. the main motivation i have to write anything is ‘i think this is cool and i want to see it in the world.’ if someone also thinks that thing is cool and wants to put it in the world? that is literally the best possible outcome i could hope for.

#i just put this in a private response to an ask and figured it would be good to state publicly #this is why i have an open derivative works policy #i’m even okay with someone going ‘i think the way you did this is dumb and i am rewriting it’ #that’s a worthy creative act! that’s how new things are made that’s why writing is shared! #ideas enter the pool and swim around and sometimes they are pondweed and sometimes they are bait and sometimes they are baby pike #the great food web of fandom #sroloc babbles #also on a less prosaic note: increasing the space for people to make stuff you like BY NECESSITY involves #making space for people to make things that WON’T be to your taste #the taste is not important. the environment to create? most important thing
