SHE;  FULL OF POETRY  &  HEARTACHE.          crumbling heaps;  visage steadily begins faltering.   wide eyed,  their observations harboring their secrecy.   fingertip gradually twine  (  tightening  )  and coiling worn sweater thread. circulation constricted,  just below previously severed index’s knuckle.   images of the female cowering unnerves.   sibling’s scolding timbre echoes;  how could you be so stupid.   facade defines jawline as teeth clench.   weeping woman;  her whimpers for her youth gradually build  ―  until.   slender limbs rapidly rise and coffee table softly nudges with her movement.          ❝           i  ..  uh.          ❞          lips purse,  wavering anxiety clutching delicate chest as oxygen diminishes.          ❝          please excuse me.          ❞          sobriety wasn’t for her;  fabricated consequences sweltering her as she exits the room.

Some 25 year old had the audacity to argue with me about how fanfiction monetization and the legality isn't real/an actual problem. And they said that I've obviously never heard of commissions or art selling. Which, is funny because I've had people literally offer me money to write them one shots and I've done drawing commissions.

But,

Just so you guys know,

Monetization of fanfics is HIGHLY ILLEGAL and NOT MORAL.

Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), who runs Archive of Our Own (AO3), was part of a giant legal battle over fanfics and whether or not they're allowed to be posted on the internet. This is why AO3 is 100% free and is a true archive.

The ending consensus of the court battle was that:

1. The works should not be in competition of the original works, and in which leads to the take away of the original work's worth (which includes MONEY/MONETIZATION)

2. It must not be deemed demeaning/improper/offensive/defamation by the IP holder. (This also reaches to fanworks [art] in general)

3. You must not be gaining money from the writing. Plain and simple.

THIS BEING SAID,

If you see anyone using Tumblr+, or whatever the Tumblr paid subscription is, for their fanfics... Do NOT support them. That is highly illegal and hurtful towards the fanfic community.

This also goes to Wattpad. I've been saying for YEARS now that the monetization of Wattpad is dangerous. They are going to put fanfics in danger.

This is also why fanfic bookbinding is an under the table trend that has to have 100% permission and consent from the fanfic's author.

This is very risky in both the legal and artistic community. It will eventually lead to people printing without permission and/or those people donating the books and them being sold, which can become a problem.

Also, if you wish to hear my opinion on After and The Love Hypothesis;

After is changed enough to not be able to tell it was a shitty Wattpad story. The Love Hypothesis is bad and should have been changed more. But they're being considered actual books and not on the internet, so that is a problem for the book/publishing community and not the online fanfic community.

(Fanart is a different ballpark that has its own problems, so don't bring those up. This is SPECIFICALLY for fan works that are 100% written.)

TLDR;

If you're going to give fanfic writers money, do it as donations and not actually paying for their works. Paying for the works themselves is highly illegal, problematic, and dangerous. Giving tips and gifts is not. Do not support anyone who is directly selling written word fan fiction or has a paywall for it.

(ps, the girl who wrote Fix Your Attitude can get in MAJOR trouble since Adam Driver has openly talked about how it made him very uncomfortable and upset. But thankfully he or Lucas Films/Disney didn't go after her)

i really wanted to know your opinion on this hun, and also what WS anon thinks about it! especially considering the way flo normally deals and talks about her projects and coworkers on her social media (like she’s already doing with ‘the wonder’ and still do with ‘little women’, ‘midsommar’ and of course ‘black widow’), because imo the way she dealt with dwd was definitely weird and not a coincidence. she didn’t even shared or even liked olivia’s post of her first look as alice in the film! and for someone like florence, that’s just not right.

I didn't follow how Flo was like during the whole process of DWD so I can't comment! If people can send an unbias report to Flo's whole attitude before, during and after DWD wrapped I might have a better opinion. If it has been discussed here before maybe you have a link Jessie? Cause I usually ignored DWD convo here before.

Weird question but WS anon do you know if Harry and Jeff are still friend? 😓😬

I don't have proof but I would assume they're not totally on bad terms. I also don't follow Harry enough to make any kind of assumptions between him and his manager.

WS anon can you ask your friend if she thinks DWD will be a hit in the box office? I’m just curious cause I follow an account who also got spoilers and they’re saying a lot of the same as what you said. But I was wondering how your friend thinks this will perform?

We actually discussed this not because we're particularly interested in DWD but my friends love discussing film potentials and pop culture. So from what we gathered there were two test screenings. My friend only attended the second one and she was pretty lukewarm about it. But we assume they have more than enough survey response to improve on the material. I don't think 6/10 is a particularly bad rating? We think it's safe to assume the primary audience will be Harry stans. My friend thinks his fans would be happy enough because though his acting was pretty mid compared to Flo, he looks really good save for the ending. And since there were a lot of stans during the last test screening maybe they put there wanting to see more of him. Booksmart was well-received and Flo is very well-loved, the genre usually draws in an audience, so a lot of cinephiles might be drawn in. However, for the gp we think it will depend on the reception of the film critically and the word of mouth marketing. While a lot of the cast are pretty well-known, none of them are considered true box office draws. Harry might draw in a lot of his fans, but for the gp I never really here them be excited just because a popstar is starring in a film. Flo, Chris and even Olivia are pretty well-known but looking at their filmography none of them are Tom Cruise or Dwayne Johnson. In fact they starred in some flops in the box office, which is no shame cause I do believe the word movie star doesn't really exist anymore. Not even Brad Pitt could save Ad Astra in the box office. Right now we don't really see it as a big hit. My friend is no Olivia hater by the way and again 6/10 isn't bad. But as she was trying to explain to us the film, so far it's not very captivating and intriguing. I didn't really have an interest seeing this film so I would be one of the market that needs to be convinced to see it. Other factors include the fact it's R-rated which will automatically limit the audience. My friend said she doesn't think the film utilized the rating enough though. Another is when it will be released. Nearly every month next year they have a big competition which will probably block in more theaters. And lastly is how other countries will treat the cinema next year because while the US is pretty relaxed I have read some countries don't want to risk opening up movie theaters until the pandemic is completely cleared.

PS Jessie, I have info I want to share with you but please don't post it.

About Flo, I remember getting some asks about how she went from interacting with Olivia at the beginning of filming to not really saying anything after O made that IG post thanking Harry for “stepping aside” so Flo could shine lol. I’m not 100% how accurate that is though!

(And ofc!)
