skye-yun:

Fanfiction writers literally owe people NOTHING. People need to get off their high horse and realize that most people write fanfiction between school, jobs or whatever things they have going on in their lives.

So before calling someone a bitch for not updating at a rate YOU would prefer, why not realize that fanfiction writers are literally writing for people for free and should have all the time they need to write the chapters.

Okay so drawing food is really fun for me, as we’ve seen with the Fruit Animals series (which I should probably post here some time)… but what if I made a picture book of Gabcat eating all of the food that I like? LOL…

edit: what if it included simple recipes??? 

Very few people will understand my love of tacos.

Incidentally, I have a paypal account that is just waiting for taco donations.

What is significant about fan fiction is that it often spins the kind of stories that showrunners wouldn’t think to tell, because fanficcers often come from a different demographic. The discomfort seems to be not that the shows are being reinterpreted by fans, but that they are being reinterpreted by the wrong sorts of fans – women, people of colour, queer kids, horny teenagers, people who are not professional writers, people who actually care about continuity (sorry). The proper way for cultural mythmaking to progress, it is implied, is for privileged men to recreate the works of privileged men from previous generations whilst everyone else listens quietly.
