"can fanfic writers stop-" bro between my burn out, work and school I am lucky if I even finish the fics I am working on, you get what you get no one is paying fanfic writers for this.
i have a masters degree in english literature and i understand wanting people to improve their craft but not everyone wants to it’s a hobby it’s playing with dolls no one intends to be the next shakespeare these are stories written for free and for fun it’s not a literacy crisis
illegal things to do as a fanfic author (in no particular order):
*italics
*long paragraphs
*short paragraphs
*AUs
*canon divergence
*canon compliance
*metaphors and analogies
*"—"
*omegaverse
*canon ships
*non-canon ships
*not using capital letters
YES I DONT USE SHIPS NAME ARRANGED BY WHOS TOP AND WHOS BOTTOM AND THAT I USE WHATEVER SOUNDS MORE BETTER TO ME AND YOU CAN ALL JUDGE ME IF YOU WANT BUT I DO NOT CARE IVE NEVER EVER BEEN HAPPIER
