As promised! I wrote about the illegal fanbinding that's led to writers deleting their works recently, how that connects to the current pull-to-publish wave, and what happens when the rapidly expanding sphere of fic readers starts to get disconnected from *fandom*:
The ever-increasing reach of fanfiction has inched the practice away from text-written-in-community to a more traditional author-reader relationship—and the context collapse that’s come with viral works being treated like any other romance novel has spurred clashes between different types of readers with different sets of expectations.
In the past few years, fic authors across all corners of fandom have increasingly complained about shifting attitudes from readers who treat them like any other content creator, demanding the next chapter as you might demand your favorite influencer’s next video. But unlike on creative platforms like TikTok and YouTube, the fic writer doesn’t get revenue from their new installment.
We'll also talk about this in some capacity on the next episode of @fansplaining! (In contrast with today's episode, on the non-monetized, gift-economy practices of many fanbinders, whose hobby is also imperiled by the people selling and buying fic.)
“It is humiliating to even have to say this: that women matter more than fetuses or embryos, that a frozen cell in a petri dish is not a human being, but we are. It is an absurdity to make this argument, an exhausting waste of our time, a degradation. That, too, is part of the point.”
- Moira Donegan in The Guardian
Asking a management consultant for future market projections into the next decade is the modern equivalent of asking a palace astrologer to read the empire’s fortune and then making policy based on that very precise and mathematical analysis of the positions of stars in the sky
“Almond eyes” are boring (and overused). While looking up the word for Bailin’s eye shape, I found 5 other aesthetic descriptions of eyes in a makeup tutorial.

The director of Love and Redemption ships Bailin x Luohou Jidu and I have proof:
A behind the scenes snippet from the final episode of Love and Redemption featuring the director (man in the black t-shirt) describing to Liu Xueyi (actor playing Bailin) the vibe he wants from Bailin & Luohou Jidu’s death scene:
(Caption translations are mine)
“This is a mournful, romantic feeling”
“surrounded by the glow of fire”
“you two, the two men, are in [the fire]”
And this is the final version of the scene he is describing:
So yeah. The director of the show ships it. He asked for a mournful romantic vibe. And the actors delivered!
A persons fanfic tells you a lot about them, i , a fanfic writer, realize in terror
