Reminder that fanfic writers are people and not your personal fantasy machine. I’m not an AI that you can type your prompt into and get an emotionless response from. You have to actually talk to fic writers like we’re people with feelings and not a fucking robot. Some readers have a habit of making a request while not saying a word about the fic they’re commenting with said request on. So it’s incredibly dismissive of the work that is already there! And then the audacity to demand a fic while doing so! If you want someone to do something for you, you usually get better results when you’re kind about it.

Also, how are we to know you won’t treat the request the same way if it actually does get written? How are we to know you’re even going to say a single kind word? We don’t, because you’re behaving in an entitled way that shows you won’t. The amount of requests I’ve taken in good faith where the person who requested it never said a word about it is astounding. Not even a thank you.

Just quit the bullshit. You act entitled, mean, and ungrateful, and then whine and complain when writers stop posting, because you lack the self awareness to see that it’s your behavior causing that. You want endless fic but refuse to engage with the writer in any kind or respectful way. Stop it.

i don't think ryland grace has any self-awareness about gender or sexuality ever but by the force of SHEER coincidence he unknowingly bought an aroace-themed shirt at a san francisco thrift store simply bc he liked the colors. he wears the shirt around stratt's vat and people tell him "oh, congrats!" and he's like "yeah the astrophage trials have been going really well :)"

stratt: if we put a man and a woman in a spaceship together they'll be too horny to get anything done

grace: ?? umm have you considered people WON'T have to pretend to enjoy sex when they're a trillion miles away from society?

stratt, eyeing his shirt: ...i am not having this conversation right now.
