I think it's so hilarious when people (non fanfic readers) assume that you like and are okay with whatever you read because I will sit there and read the most disgusting dead dove smut fic out there with a straight face and feel physically uncomfortable when people ask me out.

Pst

Hey you

Yeah you

You know that kid who sits in the back of class? The one who doesn’t have many friends, the one who is quiet and always on their phone?

Or the coworker who never looks like they’re doing work? The one who politely declined your invitations to bars after work so many times that you stopped asking?

They are reading. They are reading fanfiction and they are dreaming.

That kid in your class could be the nicest, sweetest, politest person ever but they are reading a story.

The words take them away. Far far away. To distant galaxies, to old bookshops, to shiny long black cars, to an underground bunker, to the burning remains of a church, to a bar in a hotel, to the past, to the future, to a random high school, to a tiny little coffee shop.

Those words are making your coworker feel something. They are making them feel happy. Feel sad. Feel both and neither. The words are telling them what it feels like to hurt so much and still be able to smile.

Those stories are full of life. Life that, yes is very painful, but still life. Lives that we have no right to mess with but spawn from a place of love. Lives that we value too much to let them go. Lives that we change at a whim to give them a better ending.

These stories are full of love.

Let that classmate read. Let that coworker go home after work. And don’t ask what they are reading. Under any circumstances. Trust me.

FANFICTION

I sometimes wonder why I’m so unhinged, but then I remember that I started reading fanfiction when I was 12 years old.

It was from 2012

I want to meet someone who will make me feel the same way I feel while reading fanfiction, fluffy one, with characters just loving and pinning for each other.

I’m genuinely curious to see what other people do and if anyone does what I do (go read everything the author wrote for the ship that catches my attention).

PSA: When you “Subscribe” on a work’s page on Ao3, it subscribes to that work specifically.

If you want to subscribe to a user, you must click their name and hit Subscribe on the user page.

If you want to subscribe to a series, you must click on the series title and Subscribe from the series page.

(I’m saying this because I get subscriptions on one-shots that I have given no indication of planning to continue, including one that was in a series, so if I was to continue it, the subscribed person would not even know because it would be a new work in the series.)

Edit: okay, okay, I know you have your reasons... one day I'll make a ranking on my judgment upon all of them.

Listen, if there is one thing fanfiction is good for, it's learning the names of the characters in the media that you're reading about.

#fanfic is the reason i know the my hero academia characters (well fanfic and the mha monopoly game)#tbh fanfic is the reason i know a lot of the names of side characters of animes that i watch #fanfic is also the reason i know the names of the side characters from bbcs merlin too tbh #im bad at names so i mostly associate characters with what they look like so fanfic forces me to actually know their names #reading fanfiction #fanfiction.net #ao3 #ao3 fanfic #wattpad #fanfic #fanfiction #fan fiction #fan fic

A rant and a discovery.

The idea of Damian and Danny being twins didn’t seem that novel to me, and I chalked it up to reading too much ‘found family’ or ‘long lost relative’ fanfics. But then I went to fanfiction.net, and stumbled upon a very familiar username. The user name seemed really, really familiar for some reason. I clicked on their profile then clicked on a Danny Phantom x Batman crossover of theirs... And would you look at that — It’s a one-shot about Danny and Damian being twins, and I suddenly remembered reading this years ago! THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO. REPEATEDLY. Holy cannoli.

The antis have been all over my posts in the last few days, so I wanted to share my experiences and write a guide on how to deal with them.

First off: Our ships and character preferences are valid, no matter how hard some people try to demonize them. We are part of fandom and allowed to post about the things we enjoy, just like everyone else. Our fanfics, fanart, video edits, photo edits, etc. are all works of love and they deserve to exist and be explored by others.

✨ Strategies for dealing with antis ✨

Don’t engage. I have checked the bios of all the antis that left comments under my posts, and the majority of them are minors. You don’t want to talk to minors in fandom spaces!! And a conversation based on logic or reason won’t be possible either.

Delete their comments. Tumblr, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube allow you to delete comments, DO IT!! You created something with love and hateful comments have no place underneath it. Even if the comment just makes you uncomfortable and isn’t outright hateful, it is perfectly reasonable to delete it for your own sanity.

Block generously. Not only the people who target you specifically but also anyone who engages in character- or ship-bashing. People who do that for one ship will do it for other ships too and it’s extremely bad fandom etiquette. When you see a character or ship-bashing post, block everyone who liked it and then the poster.

Report people for harassment. The rules vary by site, but especially threats of violence should be reported. Also, if someone follows you to another social media site after you’ve blocked them, that is called block evading and you should report that too.

When you see other people getting hateful comments underneath their posts, leave a nice comment to offset some of the negativity. Your being supportive can make the difference between this person never posting again and them being motivated to keep going. People are always welcome to send me links to a post that is getting targeted by antis and I’ll like it and leave a nice comment. 🥰

Don’t let the bad comments outshine the positive ones! Every time my post gets enough traction for antis to find it, it also gets lots of lovely reactions. Many people have told me that my content and recommendations made them ship my OTP, and that is the single thing that makes me happier than anything else. Take a screenshot and look at these kinds of comments when you feel down. This is the real reason you should keep posting.

Most hate comments are exceptionally uncreative. It helps to laugh about it, preferably with a friend. ✨ Remember, you used your energy to create something and you should be proud of it!

When you see a creator you like, but they also display obnoxious behavior towards people who like other ships, characters, or dynamics, at the very least don’t give them a platform by sharing their posts.

Stay safe. Don’t post personal information online.

It’s completely valid to step away from social media for some time. Private your accounts, turn off notifications, do a canon reread, read some fanfics in peace. Whatever it takes to remind you why you love the things you love.

Bonus Tip: Watch videos of cute animals to destress. Bunnies nose-booping each other can (and will) cure anti-induced anxiety. :)

✨ Platforms sorted by least to most toxic and my advice for using them ✨

1. Discord

Discord is great because you can join servers specifically for your favorite characters and ships. If a server doesn’t already exist, consider setting one up! Pro tip: only invite people that have positively interacted with you in the past. A small server consisting of nice people is a lot more fun than a large server consisting of members that can’t get along or are only marginally interested in the topic.

Fandom Discord servers have clear guidelines on what you can post. As long as you follow the rules, people have no grounds for calling you out. In my experience, moderators are quick to respond to harassment.

When you join a server and you see they heavily restrict certain types of content, it is a red flag. Proceed with caution, even if you plan to only talk about “safe” characters and ships.

2. Tumblr

I have rarely gotten hateful comments on Tumblr, and the few times I did they were easy to delete.

A lot of the older fandom generations use Tumblr and they are more mature and accepting of all kinds of content.

3. Twitter

Twitter makes it easy to curate your own fandom experience. You can mute words you don’t like to see on your timeline, mute and block users, and most people have their ship preferences in their bio.

4. Instagram

My Instagram posts about Jadecest get a lot of positive interaction, even more than on Twitter. There are unpleasant comments once in a while, but they are easy to delete.

Blocking a user will delete all their comments from your posts.

5. YouTube

People who don’t like your ship will downvote your videos and downvotes lead to the algorithm not recommending your videos.

I have gotten a few negative comments, but they are easy to delete.

6. Reddit

When you post in a fandom subreddit, everyone will see the post, independent of their ship preferences.

There are a lot of minors on Reddit.

You can’t delete comments.

Most fandom subreddits are poorly moderated.

7. TikTok

I have gotten the most hate comments on TikTok. They can be filtered or deleted, but antis interacting with your video by leaving hate comments will lead to the algorithm recommending your content to even more antis. It can get very ugly.

If you post on TikTok consider turning off comments, stitches, and video replies. You can also mark your content as 18+, so it won’t get recommended to minors. (Again, antis tend to be underage.)

Platforms are more toxic the more they show your content to people outside your bubble. Discord, Tumblr, and Twitter keep your content relatively well contained to your circle of friends. Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram heavily promote your content outside your bubble, which is good, because more people are going to see it, but also bad, because it reaches more antis.

~~~

Antis are loud and obnoxious, but it’s important to remember that they are a minority. Ship and let ship still exists, especially among the people who have been in fandom spaces for more than just a few years. Don’t be afraid to post your content and express your love for your favorite characters and ships! I, for one, would love to see your creations, and many other people would love to see them too.

What are your experiences and strategies for dealing with antis?

Me when I find a fic with excellent grammar and beautiful writing but they don't use quotation marks for dialogue and use dashes instead so I have to close the fic because I refuse to read such a thing:
