No, it's not an "oxymoron" that fanfiction can be well written. Fucking hell, I've read fics that have changed my LIFE. I've read stories written by people whose talent eclipses ANYTHING on bookshelves. Fanfiction is 100% valid and it's written for free. Snobbery fucking sucks.

Purity culture has fuck all to do with asexuality. Purity culture is not asexual representation. Policing queer content to "purify" it of sex is not and has never been to about asexuality. The word PURE should literally tell you everything you need to know here.

the disdain for love triangles is justified because so rarely does my slutty, needy heart get rewarded with a poly ending, not even an "I-Almost-Lost-You-Both" threesome??!? like, don't get me invested in three people if you're not ✨ALL GOING TO FALL IN LOVE✨

My hot take is that fanfiction cannot ever be dangerous. It doesn't matter what the story contains. Fanfiction is freely selected for reading based on tagged content. It's not required reading. There is no such thing as problematic or dangerous fanfic. You can simply NOT read it.

Fanfic has never relied on canon and it never will, that's the whole point. It's transformative works, they exist to subvert canon and explore and imagine beyond the limited scope of the original media. A fanfic pairing or HC never has to be canon, I promise.

I'm really over the, "if you write fanfic, you should be ashamed and keep it to yourself," bullshit.
Fanfic is written for FREE; it's wild and beautiful, it can be life changing. Fanfic is the resistance and I'm done feeling like writers are only meant to write Hemingway.

*exhausted sigh*
People are saying the "only one bed" trope is rape adjacent culture.
99.9% of the stories using this trope simply makes characters aware of pre-existing feelings at the prospect of close proximity and it usually always plays out WITHOUT sex in the bed.
So no.

Imagine thinking AO3 wasn't created for "proshippers". AO3 was literally created as an Archive of Our Own for writers who wrote what was considered "problematic" fic like Thorki & Wincest. It's for EVERYONE & EVERYTHING. Stop thinking fandom must reflect your personal preferences

Please don't forget about the part of being a writer where you don't write anything for whole chunks but you BREW ideas and vibes in your head for when you DO finally sit down and make magic. You're a writer even when you haven't written a word in ages, be kind to yourself.

The use of the word "dangerous" or "problematic" is what I'm targeting here. Of course some fics are improperly tagged & not CWd but there exists a general expectation of correct accurate tagging & so those incidents are outliers, not the norm & even then - still not "dangerous"

I'm sorry but queers need to exist outside the safe space of "coming of age/coming out stories". There's a need for these books, 100%, but our journeys do not end where the MC takes a deep breath and tells the world who they are.
We deserve to to be in every kind of story.

Just throwing it out there once more that queer rep can be gritty, dark, disturbing, problematic, weird and provocative. Purity culture would strip us of all that and cite it as "bad rep". Queer media does NOT need to adhere to cis-het standards of sexless, morally upright rep.

Forcing someone to come out in defence of slander is absolutely fucking gross.
Asexuality is not LESSER. It's not a "cheat" to pass as queer. Ace/aro people are ✨completely, validly queer✨ they're LGBTQ+. Same for bi/pan, since it literally always needs saying.

It's so sad to see new people in fandom who treat reading fic as some sort of moral & political exercise in restraint & purity. You don't need to explain why you're reading fic, you don't need to excuse, defend or even champion it for moral reasons. You've missed the whole point.

Not all queer media is "representation". At least not in that very specific way that demands sanitation and purification for cisheteronormative acceptability. Queer media can be rough, difficult, "problematic", unpopular & plain BAD. We need that. Leave it the fuck alone.
