So, Amazon wants to get its greedy little fingers in the fanfic business, eh?
I have a lot of thoughts on this. Angry thoughts, to be completely honest. I’ll try to limit my use of capslock, but no promises.
I love the lack of capitalism in the creation of fanworks. It’s extremely important to me. We do it for ourselves, for each other. It is a free...

I am SO fucking angry right now, i cant even talk.
This person took this (x) fic of mine, changed the character names and posted it as their own here (x), people disgust me
There’s also a part 1 to the plagiarized fic, which was apparently stolen from Ladielazurus. There are 5 other fics on that account. I wonder who else has been plagiarized?

agentotter:
Okay, so epithets. Let’s start with what they are so we can learn to avoid them like the motherfucking plague.
An epithet can be a nickname or a curse, but the context we’re talking about is where it’s both. (Lawlz.) This sort of epithet is essentially a descriptive phrase used in place of a person’s name. These are horrifyingly common in fan fiction and believe me when I tell...

American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike.” They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child” phenomenon,...
