The cruelty of racist white men.
I don’t usually do discourse on this blog but that last reblog hit the nail on the head. Reader interaction is at an all time low for fic authors and whilst I’m eternally grateful for any and all kudos and comments that I do receive, I feel as if in the past couple of years there’s been this weird migration of comments - they’ve left ao3 and they’re on tiktok instead. So, rather than people leaving comments on my fics, they leave their comments on the videos of people reccing my fics. I see tiktoks about my fics and they’ll have double, triple the number of comments that the fic itself has. It’s so lovely that people are talking about my writing, but it’s just a very strange phenomenon and a very odd feeling when you have a fic that you assume wasn’t overly well received because it has hardly any comments on ao3, but then you see a tiktok full of comments with people saying that it’s their favourite fic.
And I’m going to say something potentially controversial here but not ONCE have I seen a tiktok creator, whose content relies solely on other people’s fics, say anything along the lines of “leave the author a comment if you enjoy the rec.” Literally never ever seen this. And I think that’s a real shame.
all fanfiction is nsfw. bc when i read it on the clock i get in trouble

i don't want to see AI art and i don't want to read AI stories. you know what i do want? typos. you using the wrong word because it sounds just like the right one. plot holes. shaky lines. pencil sketch marks you forgot to erase. a scribble in the corner you didn't crop out. you know why i want them? because they're yours. your typos, your scribbles, your plot holes, your shaky lines. you know why i want them to be yours? because i'm in love with you. i'm holding your hand right now and our pinkies are wrapped around each another. you're pointing out all the ways you're flawed and i'm kissing your forehead anyway
there’s so much i wanna write but there’s also so much i wanna read but there’s also so much i wanna watch but there’s also so much i wanna do but there’s also—
Black water rushing through me.
I'm always coming across people saying one of two things about wolfstar 1) It makes no sense and 2) it would be toxic as hell if it ever happened...
All of which makes me wonder what on earth set of books they were reading because from Remus's voice shaking with some suppressed emotion when he sees Sirius for the first time in twelve years, to his voice sounding like every word was causing him pain after Sirius's death we see them be nothing but gentle, respectful and affectionate with each other.
Anyway - I'm currently re-reading Bite and Prejudice which is my wolfstar Jane Austen AU and I just came across this paragraph which, although it is written in flouncy regency language (and was paraphrased from another which was originally about Lizzie and Darcy), sums up exactly why Remus and Sirius work so perfectly together in canon:
He thought too how their dispositions and tempers - though markedly different from the other - would suit each other perfectly and bring out only the best. How Remus’s tendency to self deprecation, his dry wit and steady temper would deflate the worst of Black’s pride, stick a pin in his self importance and keep his readily admitted propensity to take offence and never give up a grudge in check. Likewise, Black’s ardent nature, his loyalty and tenderness, his capacity for love and his great passion for life would pull Remus out of his own melancholy, make a mockery of his self pity, and make him laugh when he was inclined to be maudlin. Together, Remus thought, they made one very good sort of man. Apart they must always be prey to their own weakness and follies.
Which just goes to show, whatever universe you put them in, wolfstar will always make sense.
