#a Christmas carol has been in public domain since ww2 no need for that

outside of the mcr tag, the gnr tag, and one person in the type o tag (not you-know-who, thank fuck), did bandom like die overnight or some shit? i’ve been looking through ao3 tags the past few minutes and they all have been so quiet the past couple of weeks.

don’t be pinning this on me, either: i may have had opinions and i’ve stood up to plagiarism but that’s no excuse to stop creating, though (it never should be, either: this is something i’ve learned years ago, when i first embarked on an art career. someone’s opinion of you or your work should never discourage you, but rather inspire you). i’m a fic author: i support fic authors no matter who they are because fic and any kind of fanwork at its core is harmless. be yourself and do whatever you want as long as you aren’t hurting anyone. it’s just when you take from me (or anyone), indulge in behavior that ranges from utterly nefarious to just kind of annoying, and can’t practice what you preach if it saved the world—and blame me for calling you out and act like i owe you something—that’s where i draw the line.
