Dear fanfic readers,

Don’t pull this shit.

I don’t know if this was supposed to be a joke, or maybe they thought it would get me to make this ship canon to this instead of the one I have already, but this isn’t the kind of shit authors like to see when they go to check their notifications. I’m sure as fuck not happy about it, which is why I’m making this damn post.

Look, on a site such as this, I get that it’s infinitely harder to filter tags like you can on others. And maybe because you’ve seen fics like mine with that ship, you kind of assumed that you’d be getting your ship since it’s so common among these. But saying shit like this isn’t fucking okay. If you realized that this isn’t what you were expecting, you could’ve just kept reading, or maybe just stopped because you’re not entitled to read for a ship that just doesn’t sail for you.

But the thing is, rarepair writers like me don’t want to see this kind of shit. It’s rude! Simple as tgat, it’s fucking disrespectful to shove your expectations onto people’s work! Especially if they don’t even like the one you wanted!

I mean, I do in this case, I really do like this ship. But this kind of bullshit doesn’t make me want to write it any more, what do you think it does to those who hate that ship? Especially since fic writers don’t owe you anything in the first place.

I know this is just a big wall of text, and I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting to write this much. But I thought this needed to be said, because for every one of these on a site where the misunderstanding is understandable, there’s a million more on other sites where the ship is plastered on the fic clear as day.

Either way, you’re being a dick. Stop it.
