I doubt I’ll need a fanfiction policy anytime soon, but better to be prepared, right? Also note, this may get some updates from time to time.
So here’s the gist:
- I love fanfiction, I don’t need the legal or emotional headaches that can come with fanfiction writers being assholes.
- Credit me.
- If another creator doesn’t allow fanfiction of their stuff, don’t do crossovers with my stuff and their stuff.
- Don’t make money off fanfiction of my stuff. (It’s okay to link to your Patreon or Kofi on the webpage/Tumblr account/whatever, not okay to solicit donations on the webpage/post with the fanfic or have the fanfic on your patreon or Kofi)
- Fanfiction of my stories/characters should be under a creative commons credit/noncommercial license. If you’re going to use my characters, you don’t get to get pissy over other people using your characters.
- Please don’t be an asshole. Some of my stories deal with heavy/triggery topics or ‘problematic’ ideas. CW/tag appropriately.
- I would love to see fanfic of my stuff, but I will not read anything that isn’t under a CC license. See point 1.
- If you want to share stuff w/ me, tag me on social media or link below, don’t email me.
- Whether I read will depend on my spoons and life shit. If I don’t, it’s not personal
- I will not comment publicly on fanfic shared with me w/o invitation. That means if you send me a link I didn’t ask for, I won’t tell you if I like it, boost it, etc.
- Unless I need to yell at you for violating this policy. Please don’t make me yell at you. I don’t like yelling.
Bonus: Slash is awesome. Slash wars are not. Be kind to each other.
