ao3/fanfic discourse making the rounds on twitter.com again, another reason to delete or set screen limits, because i forgot how much the opinions of dumb people enrage me. I’m not going to repost the tweets here, but real quick:

1) people write fanfic for free. FOR. FREE. leave them tf alone???? no one is making you read it!

2) no, if you think a fic is ‘bad’, you do not need to write bitchy comments or bookmark notes—why do you even want to do this? why do you want the author to feel bad? if I read a fic that sucks, I simply move on with my day without being an asshole, it’s that easy

3) “oh people shouldn’t only read fanfic” “ao3 users read actual books challenge” “fic is like fast food, okay sometimes but not real” SHUT UP. shut up. an alarming portion of the population is using ChatGPT to write 300 word emails, we have literacy death in media, and fanfic is not the problem. I’ve read fanfic that shook me to my core and was better than many published novels. There are fanfic lines that changed my perspective, and i still think about. Fanfic changed the world—the MCU literally ripped off fanfic tropes because they were so popular.

I am a huge proponent of reading. But I’m not going to sit here and say published books are better than fanfic or vice versa, full stop—it fucking depends, you hacks. I’d rather read some fill in the blank fic from a huge fandom than ever read a colleen hoover or james patterson book, odds are the fic will be way better. Likewise, reading actual good books is very important too, keeps you fresh and inspired. (Interview With the Vampire, for example, would not exist without Brontë and Shakespeare)

I don’t know why we are so quick to be cruel to people and project shit on them. If you have a problem with fan spaces, fic writers or artists or whatever, maybe consider what it is in yourself that’s prompting that reaction. Because I doubt fans daydreaming about their favorite characters is the great societal problem these miserable people pretend it is

6 for the ask game <333

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

I wouldn't say hated but I never saw the appeal of three-way pairings. Then I came across some Jenson/Fernando/Mark fics and other stuff and I was like 'yeah, I get it now'. Given that most of the ships I like are 'rare pairs' it's hard to find anything to hate because there's barely anything about them lol.

Still not a fan of other three-ways though.

10 for Chestappen or Webbonso

Couldn't decide so I did both, hope it's okay

10. I'm so happy you are alive Chestappen

Max wasn’t one for big outbursts of emotions, he liked to think he was pretty chill no matter the situation. But lately everything was making him feel just slightly insane. His life seemed to go downhill ever since the season started.

“Max?”

Right, he was supposed to be listening. The video call was his idea, it was rude to ignore his ex-teammate just to get lost in his own mind. Sergio looked concerned with his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes filled with worry, the silent question hanging in the air. 

“Sorry, just a bad day.”

That was an understatement. But he didn’t want to put in on Sergio, not when the man just got out of all this. It wasn’t fair to drag him back like that.

“Okay but remember you can always talk to me. Whatever it is, you got this Max. Never give up, yeah?” 

So what if his eyes filled with tears a little at that? There was no one to see him here. Despite popular opinion he was a human and he knew Sergio wouldn’t judge him. Still, he blinked a few times and tried to smile. 

‘I’m so happy you’re alive.’

Max wanted to say it, it was at the tip of his tongue and itching to get out but he wasn’t ready to face the consequences. The thing between them was fragile now, he too was fragile. He just needed more time.

“Yeah, thanks.”

He missed him. When Sergio was here everything seemed somehow more bearable. But he couldn’t say the words, not with all the weight they would carry. Not yet at least.  Yet somehow, Sergio seemed to understand. With a small comforting smile he nodded and continued with his story. This time Max focused on the words. He could do it. And maybe, if the world smiled at them they would see each other again. Soon.

10. I'm so happy you are alive Webbonso

Mark had to admit he wasn’t really listening to whatever Fernando was yapping about as they stood on the hotel’s balcony. Today’s race was pretty uneventful but the Spaniard was frustrated anyway, beginning their meeting with a tirade about ‘how things should be done’ while he poured them both something to drink. The conversations between them usually looked like that. Fernando liked to talk and he just wanted to listen. A perfect match. 

Right now, as he nodded along to yet another story about Lance injuring himself, he could almost imagine Fernando from 2010, with that ridiculous attempt at a beard and downright crazy spark in his eyes as he complained to him about a certain German who made their lives difficult. It was weird to think so many years passed already.

He came back from his memories when Fernando stopped mid sentence and squinted at him, studying his face with razor sharp focus.

“What are you smiling about?”

Mark didn’t know how to answer that. He didn’t even realize he was smiling. But of course Fernando wouldn’t miss something like that. He never missed anything, not really.

It was surreal to him that after all these years, the forced distance and the period of heavy silence after Fernando shut him out for retiring ‘too early’ they could still be like this. The same in so many ways and yet somehow different. Both older, both with more tiredness and maybe less fire hiding in their eyes but still familiar to each other. Safe.

He would be laughed at if he told Fernando that he was just happy to have him in his life, happy to just stand there, lean against the railing and listen to him talk for hours. Happy that so many things changed but never them, despite all the troubles and disagreements along the way. That he was glad Fernando unashamedly himself.

“I’m so happy you’re alive.”

His tone came out way softer than he intended but somehow it matched the atmosphere around them. Fernando rolled his eyes but moved slightly closer, their arms brushing. A quiet reciprocation.

“You’re getting sappy in your old age.”

Those words were aimed to be a jab but sounded almost fond, the small smile on Fernando’s face betraying how he really felt about the comment.

“Like you are one to talk, mate.” 

And just like that everything returned to normal. They both smiled and raised their glasses in a silent toast, not needing to say anything else. It was enough for them to understand.
