As promised! I wrote about the illegal fanbinding that's led to writers deleting their works recently, how that connects to the current pull-to-publish wave, and what happens when the rapidly expanding sphere of fic readers starts to get disconnected from *fandom*:

The ever-increasing reach of fanfiction has inched the practice away from text-written-in-community to a more traditional author-reader relationship—and the context collapse that’s come with viral works being treated like any other romance novel has spurred clashes between different types of readers with different sets of expectations. In the past few years, fic authors across all corners of fandom have increasingly complained about shifting attitudes from readers who treat them like any other content creator, demanding the next chapter as you might demand your favorite influencer’s next video. But unlike on creative platforms like TikTok and YouTube, the fic writer doesn’t get revenue from their new installment.

We'll also talk about this in some capacity on the next episode of @fansplaining! (In contrast with today's episode, on the non-monetized, gift-economy practices of many fanbinders, whose hobby is also imperiled by the people selling and buying fic.)

Everyone gives Sherlock Holmes a hard time about being mean about Watson's writing, but honestly imagine you told your roommate "sure, you can write up an account of my work for the newspaper," thinking it would be like, about the murder, but then he publishes it and it's 90% about you, as a person, and it's a huge hit and now everyone in London knows that you hoard newspapers and do cocoaine when you're depressed. Because I think you'd be little miffed too.

i feel like we're not talking enough about how absolutely bonkers it is that over the span of the next three or so months, we'll see Timothee Chalamet as the star of both Wonka and Dune Part II

like, in one movie, he's a young man with a great and terrible destiny ahead of him, gaining the respect and admiration of an oppressed people to rise to a position of unimaginable religious power and authority, which he then uses to exert unilateral control over a psychoactive substance so powerful that society has no choice but to bow to his will as he steps into a messianic identity that reshapes the world in his name

and in the other he's Paul Atreides

This is what it looks like when two of the most feared beings in the entire universe are questioning every decision they ever made that lead them to this point.

And I love every second of it.

man I bet Nerys is spreading some CRAZY rumors about Donna's life.

"do you remember Donna's wedding? no, her first wedding. the one where she disappeared and then later she showed up with some random guy and then the two of them left with Lance, her fiance? and then Lance was literally never seen again? yeah they never found his body btw. ok so get this. that guy, the one who crashed the wedding? he lives with her now. and Shaun. just all three of them living together. no I'm not joking. yeah I mean personally I think Shaun should sleep with one eye open but nobody asked me."

If Fifteen wants to whack a hammer against the TARDIS to duplicate it without wearing any trousers then he should be able to, Ncuti Gatwa can do what he wants.
