fic writers, please don’t worry if another writer already wrote that one trope or that one au or scene with this ship because I will read every single fic of my ship with this trope and about this moment yes I will read your fic and this other writer's fic and another and another
not gonna put them on blast but just saw someone say something along the lines of “you ever read a quote on ao3 so good that you’re mad they wasted it on a fanfic” and the idea that art is wasted if it’s not commercialised??? oh we are in HELL.
