>tfw used to write fanfiction but never wrote shipping or self-insert stuff at all

You know, back in the day people used to write fanfics to explore the characters further, or to develop an interesting AU idea, or a story after the canon story was completed. I don't know when it all became tranny shit and shipping.

OMG nooo, she is NEVER wrong, like literally never Every word that comes out of her mouth is pure brilliance, like the universe itself just decided to speak through her. She’s the blueprint, the icon, the moment, the eternal truth. When she talks, it’s not just facts—it’s gospel, it’s poetry, it’s the kind of wisdom that makes you want to scream, cry, and throw confetti all at once. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

At least Dante acknowledged his own flaws and admitted he'd probably go to Hell after he died. Most fanfic writers portray their self-inserts as perfect messiah figures.

The entire point of the Comedy is that Dante doesn't go to Hell after he dies. The point of the Comedy is the salvation of Dante's soul, and the salvation of all souls by Dante illuminating the truths of life after death.

It's theater
Just as women shit test their man, ingroups shit test newcomers so as to filter weaklings.
You'll find equal # of posts harassing ANYONE mentioned in any other thread.
When it comes to women we choose the fact that they're women, and likely have inferiority complexes from simply being women, are therefore easily triggered by mentioning the insecurities of their whole existence that 'woman' encapsulates.
It's a verbal mirror to their own self criticisms without even knowing anything about them. Almost like magic.
If they can handle it they're very slowly accepted by the simp inclined.

Why are you always thinking about brown people and other minorities in sexual ways? Fucking repressed weirdo.

People who read and write fanfic belong to a specific sub culture and inhabit their own special places. Therefore you’ll never see it unless you seek it out. So I disagree with the premise. Low hanging fruit, dull YouTuber, enjoy your entertainment though I guess.

I have hope there will be more women speaking out and battering back the hordes of shelf-gooners trying to turn the world into a stinky fujo self-comforting soundboard. If a man says it, they'll always assume there's a self-gratification angle, because that's how most women roll, trying to spin up shaming campaigns and earnestly hoping it will cow others. But a woman pointing all this shit out makes it more clear it's about good taste. And in the case of writing, good craft.
>>
>>24922781
Yeaaah, let's pretend the fanfic hoes aren't colonizing the literary scene via sympathetic publishers.

>>24922814
>The term whump (or whumping) generally refers to a form of Hurt/Comfort that is heavy on the hurt and is often found in gen stories.
sounds like masochism

so writers like to write fanfiction, publishers want to publish fanfiction, and readers like to read fanfiction, but it's actually DESTROYING THE LITERATURE

Reading about cute guys getting hurt is very arousing. But of course, then they need to be healed by the hot guy, and then they can have a happy ending. That's Hurt/comfort. Some people don't want the happy ending. They want the cute guy to suffer indefinitely. That's Hurt/no comfort.

Women tried that with Twilight. They were dismissed as trying to "not be like other girls".

They get called "pickme" girls: the white woman version of uncle toms.

>>24921635
I like her but this is true. Though, I can't remember any other booktuber who speaks about this type of stuff in this way. There's one that comes to mind where he talks about specifically the state of fantasy nowadays called Jon del Arroz (last name literally means 'rice' kek) but it's not as well presented as this chick. At least she's speaking to the heart of fiction rather than "heyyyy yasss gurl this is my 50th slop book of the year :O"

That being said, this is the case with a lot of "alternative" (and I use this term super loosely) voices. When common sense becomes "le bigoted" you can make some basic observations and still get foids and s o y boys seething,

>>24921720
Like the other anon said, I don't think I've ever known fanfic to be other than mainly gay smut. Don't get me wrong, I've read some fun fanfiction but that scene is almost synonymous with Draco/Harry shipping garbage.
>>
>>24921215
Fanfiction is an important cultural heritage. Fanfiction started in the 70s as underground magazines that were distributed in small, then larger circles. The first fanfiction was Kirk/Spock fanfiction. Fanfiction is people writing purely for love of the game.

I'm saying she is a grifter and she doesn't actually read fanfiction yet feel entitled to have a judgemental opinion on it. Just like her audience of non-readers.

I too am old. The biggest sin of fanfic used to be writing yourself into it and having all the characters congratulate you for being the smartest and strongest person in that universe. Closely related was making your own OC character that somehow becomes the linchpin of the universe (actually the BROTHER of Luke was Space Jesus).

The mid tier of fanfiction was like smashing action figures together.

Good fanfic used to be published. As in further adventures of Holmes and Watson (The seven percent solution), more Conan tales, endless Cthulhu mythos stories. Fanfic was the aspirational amateur ground before you could get such stories published.

The fanfic = porn thing is new. To us. Because we’re old.

>>24921720
Modern fanfiction literally started with Kirk/spock shipping by lonely housewives, there is no before time
That said, the big problem with most fanfic in female spaces is that they tend to be more about fitting the characters into fanfic trope molds rather than properly interacting with the characters. This is why coffeeshop AUs and other such "AU so removed from the premise that it may as well be OCs" stuff is so popular in certain fandoms, especially ones with a Tumblr bent. You still see proper canon divergent stuff in male dominated fandoms, and that's not even going into the always popular "X character goes to Y setting" type deals, although those tend to be "in name only" crossovers that can veer into OC or SI territory

Modern fanfics are basically the modern equivalent of erotic lit, and it’s not just women who write them either.

Men also write fap-fics, but the difference is that they just publish them on Deviantart rather than actually getting them printed by presses.
