Rules of a Happy, Healthy Fandom

Rule 1, Don’t like, Don’t read

Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s tagged as a ship you dislike or you’re 10 chapters in, if you don’t like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.

Rule 2, Properly Tag

If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, don’t tag Stony.

Rule 3, Filters are your friend

If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.

Rule 4, Don’t harass people for shipping your NoTp

We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Don’t harass people over shipping your NoTp.

Rule 5, Do your research

If you’re writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced you’re not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor

Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay

Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, that’s okay! We all have different and varying tastes!

Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating

Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?

Rule 8, If you want it, write it

It’s bound to happen to everyone, you just can’t find a specific fic for a specific ship or it’s that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe it’s just a pure crackfic, but that’s okay!

Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon

Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, that’s okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!

Rule 10, Fiction is not reality

And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.

If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!

If we’re bringing back the citrus scale can we also bring back terms like notp and crack ship instead of sending people death threats for ships you don’t like

Ask number 4 with Glitch, Horns and Jolly?

4. things you said over the phone

   “Hold up, I’m getting another call. Oh, it’s from glitch, hang on, I’ll do a three-way.” Jolly said.

   “jolly did I just hear you say threeway?” Glitch inquired almost immediately upon being added to the call.

   Jolly blushed; veins glittering indignantly. “You know what I meant?”

   “Yeah, she definitely said ‘threeway’.” Horns confirmed.

   “Oh shit, cool, you’re here too, Horns.” Glitch said.

   “Yes, i’m here too.” Horns replied, irritable. “Now, where were we Jolly, before Glitch so rudely interupted us.”

   “Discussing plans for my birthday.” Jolly said.

   “Sweet! Yeah! That’s coming up, huh?” exclaimed Glitch.

   “I’d like a cake and I’d like to go ice-skating, how does that sound, Gigi?” Jolly asked.

   “Epic.” Glitch said.

   “Cool, well, that just saved two seconds of our time since we can now put you down as a yes.” Horn said and faintly, there was the sound of a pen scratching against paper over the line. “So, uh, Glitch, why did you ring Jolly?”

   “Gamma wants to know if Jolly knew there was training on in, um, about ten minutes ago.” Glitch said, smug.

   “Wait, what?! There’s training on today?!” panicked Jolly.

   “Fuck, there is too.” Horns said.

   “We’ll be there in twenty.” Jolly said.

   “Got it, see you sweetpeas later then.” Glitch teased as all three of them hung up.

Reblog if you’re part of the ‘I read a lot of fan fiction and now I have a bizarrely accurate judgement of how long it takes me to read a particular number of words’ squad

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: Writing something vaguely controversial

[border-to-insanity]

Jolly: Yesterday I accidentally kicked Glitch in the face and I couldn’t decide between saying “I’m so sorry” or “Are you okay?”

Jolly: So I panicked and yelled “aRE YOU SORRY?!?”

Jolly: It took Glitch an hour to get up and Peony still hasn’t stopped laughing at me.

[border-to-insanity]

     “Im sorr-”

     “What do you mean-SORRY?!”

    “Its means that I-”

    “NO, NO! DON’T YOU DARE TRY TO APOLOGIZE. YOUR DEAD WHEN I SEE YOU.”

    Glitch pulled the phone away from her ear, wincing at the volume.

    Callow glanced up briefly at her in faux sympathy before looking back down at his phone, scrolling and tapping on links idly.

    Glitch pulled the phone back carefully to her ear, whispering apologies and such until she hung up.

    “I’m so mcfucked Cal.”

    Callow didn’t even bother to glance up that time before responding “Not even all the glaciers in the world are gonna save you from the roast you gonna get when you get back home.”

     “NOT to rush you or anything.” Glitch says in a griping manor “But have you found a way to un-stick me yet??” She gives a vague gesture to her body, which is crammed upside down awkwardly contorted in a fallen branch combo mix with her legs wrapped around different branches to keep herself suspended from falling several meters onto where the rest of the tree fell and half of the neighbors fence was now strewn about.

     “What was it I was looking up again?”

     “Your so insufferable, I’m going to strangle you with my good hand.”

     “Kinky. But don’t cats always land on their feet when they fall?”

     “Maybe they would if they didn’t have a broken ankle and a sprained wrist right now.” Glitch seethed in rage wondering how well the medial staff in prison were.

    “Then Perish.”

     Glitch let out a banshee scream and threw her pack at Callow who caught it and set it down next to her wallet, phone and several branches she had also thrown at him.

    Oh Glitch was going to be SO super mcfucking grounded when her twunk ass yeeted on home..... When...  If she finally got down.

     Shes made up her mind to write her Will, and nothing is going to Cal.

Police: Sir, we are here for your daughter.

Psi: Oh?

Police: She intends to drown the statue of liberty.

Police: We dont think she can do that. But we also can't take that risk.

[border-to-insanity]

Gamma: You’re ignoring all your problems?

Peony: Yeah I know.

Gamma: You know that’s not a healthy coping mechanism?

Peony: Yeah I'm kind of ignoring that too.

[border-to-insanity]

Callow: Personally, I don't believe in bros before hoes. or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.

[border-to-insanity]
