seven figure deals are super rare even for established authors and HP fanfics are just passing them out. AO3 is about to be looked at like a gold mine not a fun space for passionate fans

“I was battling with Snape Wives” sometimes you drop lore about your fandom era and I must laugh.

I’ve been reading fanfic for years, and it makes me so uncomfortable how open people are about it now. Like it took YEARS for me to admit to my actual husband what I was reading. 😆😆

AO3 is partially run by one of my favorite fantasy authors (Naomi Novik) and she’s on the record as saying that of course she writes fanfic but she will *never* tell anyone what her screen name is and like, yeah! It’s fun to have different creative outlets! But oh my god fanfic is not the same as writing your own original work

i HATE the harry potter fandom now but i can forgive the dramione ones before this bc at least they’re AU like how far can you tweak this fic when their attendance at the school is so central

I hate this timeline. I hate how everything has to be monetised and all your hobbies have to be optimised. The most beautiful thing about fandom and particularly fanfic is that it exists outside our capitalistic system. People write fanfic for the love of it, not to make money

There’s a tumblr post I can’t stop thinking about in relation to fanfic and it’s something like “Truly good fanfic could never be published bc it’s inseparable from the characters and original media it’s based on”. I don’t believe that means that it’s canon-compliant, it’s that it would lose some part of its original essence if you were to strip the fandom elements from it and publish it as its own book. I think most books that were originally fanfics suffer from this.

a published fanfiction is a failed fanfiction, sorry. a really good one couldn't be adapted without their canon.

Girl A :
there's a reason Cassandra Clare and Holly Black had to deny repurposing their HP fanfic back when they went from being big name fans to authors. I liked that better I think - fandom gave writers a chance to show their skills, but they still had to be original (or at least more original than just filing off the serial numbers) for their actual published work.

Since the author was famously anonymous, I wonder how they’ve verified that the true author is trying to publish this vs someone else claiming it’s theirs

Jamie | book reviewer :
remember when we had to start each chapter of a fanfic with a disclaimer that we don't own the IP and please don't sue me and now publishers are using the IP to get sales

horrors of HP aside, I will never understand the marauders mania like nothing about them people was even remotely interesting. i just don’t get the hype about them at all 😭
