I fucking love this SO MUCH me and my bf are pissing ourselves
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
Just here to remind everyone that that canon Regulus Black was:
The youngest person to join the Death Eaters
The first person to discover Voldemort’s secret
The first Death Eater to betray Voldemort
The loml
Growing up I always hoped I’d be as cheerful as James, as smart as Remus and as confident as Sirius.
I ended up with the mental health of Regulus Black.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
someone please turn me into a poem or a painting, I’m tired of being human
Sirius: You know, in another lifetime, you and I would have made a hot-ass couple.
Lily: Agreed.
fanfiction truly being the savior for everyones sanity
Fellas, fellas
Why on earth are you BUYING PHYSICAL BOOKBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION????
ACTUALLY WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOOKBINDING FANFICTION TO SELL?!?!?!
IF ANY OF YOU DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS, GET OUT!! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN.
In all seriousness though, authors on AO3 have begun to pull their works off of the site to avoid getting sued by people stealing their works to make a pretty bound book for profit. Entire accounts could be shut down as well.
Listen, I’m all for saving favorite works by printing them out and putting them in a binder, or learning how to make a fancy book for a fanfic, but making books with actual fanfiction in it to sell is where I draw the line.
Literally the entire point of AO3 is that you can read it FOR FREE.
It is DISRESPECTFUL for people to make money off of hardbound copies because guess what, the original creators of these fics get nothing. We are literally only writing fanfiction for our own pleasure.
Buying and selling book-bound fanfiction is also ILLEGAL YOU DUMB SHITS. It’s an immediate violation of copyright law. The original fan work will get erased from the internet.
Fanfiction is already a legal grey zone since they are works being written about are protected by copyright. Copyright holders can in fact go after writers as well as the person who sold the fanfiction.
This also goes for people who steal fanart and, claim it as theirs, and put a price on it.
Don’t make it worse.
Bookbinding fanfiction for profit is literally ruining things for everyone. DON’T.
You guys know how we have the head canon that James starts to doubt his sexuality in his early years because he has a tiny crush on Remus?
Well, as soon as the beginning of their sixth year, he would look at Regulus who hit puberty in such a way that only The Black Family would be able to have, that he just turned into the beautiful creature James had laid eyes on. He would have taken one look at Regulus walking beside Sirius at the train station and gone “Yeah, no way I’m straight”
