So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.
Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.
Oh you youngins… How quickly they forget.
Back in the day, before fan fiction was mainstream and even encouraged by creators… This was your “please don’t sue me, I’m poor and just here for a good time” plea.
non-homestuck followers: the comic is currently updating winding up to its conclusion on 4/13, so there’s probably going to be a lot of hubbub about it on your dash. I will be tagging “homestuck” for blacklisting (as well as “upd8” for spoilers). thanks as always for following!
