It is heartbreaking. I've now watched at least 5 of my fandom friends, all writers, leave because of bullying. 4 were new writers like me.

We discussed at the time about speaking up, a couple of them tried to, but there was no fandom support only fandom enablement of further bullying and abuse, or indifference, so it discourages any victims from speaking up.

It isn't just Anon Hate (and usually when it is Anon we still have a good guess who it is!) but boldly and out in the open, by other writers who are plain jealous of the self-perceived competition. And without enough active readers engaging, this is the only side of fandom we get to see.

I've never been in a fanbase that is so hellbent on being hostile to its writers and rewarding the bullies and the cliques over everyone else, and this is why most new writers leave because they feel targeted and left out.

I got off easy compared to my friends! All I got was a bad impersonator and some mean messages, my friends got far worse and for much longer.

Shame on this fanbase.

Hi, I feel a bit stupid asking this but what happened to Roe87? Did they delete everything by choice? Thanks

Hi Nony,

I don’t know the full story as Roe87 and I were only on the periphery of each others circles and didn’t directly interact much. All of the information I have is hearsay, but from what I understand they initially pulled a couple of fics to be reworked as original works to be published. Not long after that, they announced they were taking a break from fandom, and a couple of months after that, they deleted their works and orphaned their gift fics.

I’ve not heard or seen anything that says they were forced out of fandom, nor have I seen anything from my own experiences in fandom that would suggest that’s what has happened.

There were several of Roe87’s fics that I quite enjoyed, and there were some that weren’t my cup of tea, but whichever way you float it, losing an author who had 100+ works is a huge shock to the fandom.

I do know there are several fan events in the pipeline, and there is a big push for this year to be the year that we reignite the Stucky fandom - I’ve also seen a few fandom olds come back by way of leaving kudos and comments on new work - so who knows, maybe they’ll come back one day 🤷‍♀️

They didn't deserve it💔 Roe was the first person to welcome me into this fandom and support my fics, like they did for so many new writers and artists, when most other writers of that size and following would ignore new writers or actively exclude us.

That's not what happened.

If you're searching for a reason as to why Roe left this fandom, the reason is they felt unsupported and also felt bullied.

Roe was targeted and harassed for years in this fandom, as were other queer and trans writers. Roe said on social media that they were quitting the fandom because the loudest voices left commenting were the abusive ones. Genuine readers weren't there anymore, or they'd stopped commenting.

Roe continued to receive abuse on ao3 long after they'd stopped posting new fics, so they chose to delete it all for their mental health. I don't blame them.

A handful of fics that Roe really loved and wanted to stay on ao3 were left up, regardless of being gift fic or not.

If you want to show appreciation to Roe you could and should leave new comments on those fics that remain. But let's face it you probably won't because commenting on ao3 seems a thing of the past. (Unless you're a troll.)

There's plenty writers who could've used a little support like that but you're too late because they all stopped writing. Me included.

There's so much more I could say about the 2 types of bullying going on in this fanbase targeting writers, but I doubt it would change the fanmade hierarchy already in place and the enablers holding it all up.

I've never seen a fandom actively chase away writers like this one does. Shit is toxic here.

Honestly if you cannot conceive of yourself, or your family and friends, beyond the colonial state, then that's a you problem and you're not invested in solving it. It is a characteristic of white supremacism, it is a concern only of the oppressor.

If you cannot divest yourself of the colonial identity, then you have a fundamental problem with the rest of humanity, and with life itself.

This applies to all colonial endeavours: to the US, to Canada, to Australia, to New Zealand, to Israel. You must shun the part of your culture that can only perpetuate itself on the oppression of others.

To ask oneself "how shall we protect the oppressor when the oppressed is liberated?" is fundamentally a broken mindset. It's the mindset of the white American after emancipation. It's the mindset of the white South African after the end of Apartheid. It's the mindset that allowed for No to win in the recent Australian referendum.

CHRIS EVANS in the PAIN HUSTLERS teaser

[silverstcloud-says]

I wanted to draw the winter soldier for years but never dared to, I thought I’d definitely mess it up. Late to the party as always, but I finally dared to do it 😊

This one is based on a photo that Sebastian Stan took by chance prior to the Civil War film, having no idea what’s about to come :> I thought it’s wonderfully angsty 😌💅

So with AO3 recommending locking your fics to help prevent scraping for AI use, I know a few people (myself included) who have locked down their fics. But it’s made me curious how many people are locking so…

Also reblog this and tell me in the tags why you do or don’t plan to lock your works.

For those of you that want to lock your works but don’t want to do each fic individually, here is a tutorial for how to lock all your fics at once.

by my own hand by dontcallmebree | Mature | 1165 | One-Shot |

When the wind picked up and the faraway soup can fell on its side, George told him exactly what to do, how to lean and aim and do the math in his head. It was about the set of his shoulders. It was about where he put his feet. It was about balance and making up for the curve in his spine. It was about the target, George taught him, first and foremost. “It is never about you, do you understand, Steven?” Steve doesn’t think he did, then, not really—but he understands now. Steve Rogers tries his hand at playing god.

Red Velvet by pinupbuck | NR | 1212 | One-Shot |

From my headcanon of “After the bar scene where she who shall not be named shows up in that red dress and red lipstick, Bucky finds red lipstick and waits for Steve to come find him to prove a point, smart eyebrow raise and all.”

My Youth Is Yours by fandomfluffandfuck | Gen | 2332 | One-Shot |

On a hot afternoon, Bucky catches up on his reading and does some thinking while Steve catches some sun. When they meet in the middle, it's pure tooth-rotting sweetness and love.

The Perfect Day by Andrea1717 | Gen | 3017 | One-Shot |

Wedding Planner Bucky Barnes meets his secret crush. Too bad that Steve Rogers is the groom.

Nearly Lost You by RecoveringTheSatellites | Mature | 4503 | One-Shot |

Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are a team of thieves. A team of skilled, well-paid thieves. At the top of their game. Their competence, finesse, expertise--- it's all top notch. They're also idiots. Such idiots. And then one day a job comes along to show them just how idiotic a pair of idiots they are. Thief!AU with a generous dose of pining and a happy end.

🌸 WIP: 🌸

Bucky Barnes, a horny personal trainer, falls head over heels for a beefy blonde in a bar. They have casual sex, messing about in Bucky’s apartment on a weekly basis, and find themselves falling in love. However, Steve has a secret - he’s Captain America - and Bucky is none the wiser.

Red Roses And Daisys by Lynswritings | Explicit | 7 of ? | Multi Chapter |

It was finally summer vacation, and Bucky Barnes was home from boarding school, only to find his parents hired a stupidly attractive gardener, Steve Rogers.
