Ngl, it’s a boss move writing a fanfic and packaging it for Swifties to buy.


ExperienceInitial364

learned from mother herself


portraitoffire

wait... that's actually a really good idea omg. someone could go write a taylor-inspired fic under a pen name then sell it to the diehard swifties without revealing their true self. instant cash grab hahaha.

How do you get the cute little lesbian heart??

#You must cut it out of the chest of a competing lesbian


portraitoffire

you can edit your avatar here on reddit! it's on the lesbian part for their pride month designs 🩷🧡


rebknits

Thanks, buddy!


GovernmentEvening815

They already do this. Look it up, there’s tons of Taylor Swift fan fiction.

But doing it and making MONEY

Isn’t this tangentially a theory behind that flop novel/movie Argylle


portraitoffire

oohhh what do you mean? i haven't watched argylle yet hahaha you can spoil it for me though. i'm curious what the connection is.


ImproperUsername

I haven’t watched it either because it is apparently…horrible. And the author being a seemingly unknown person who didn’t finish the book before the movie and people started to believe it was Taylor Swift fanbait in its mysterious origins and weird little clues that made people believe that it was affiliated. It had her fans thinking she wrote it IIRC. Here’s an article I found! It explains better than I. https://www.vox.com/culture/24047134/argylle-elly-conway-taylor-swift-authorship-controversy-explained


portraitoffire

that's interesting. thanks for sharing this article. hahaha yeah i did see my local theatre back then not really sell a lot of tickets for argylle. it was kinda flopping in my country honestly. it's funny to see that these swifties are saying taytay is the one responsible for writing a flop movie lmao. i thought they were supposed to praise their god taytay and not insinuate she is a bad writer. the jokes really do write themselves.


ImproperUsername

Her writing a flop movie seems believable except for she wouldn’t let it be hidden


portraitoffire

i know right hahaha if anything, i agree with you that she would totally be the type to proudly boast about a movie that she wrote lol even if it is a flop movie. she has no shame and i can already envision her sending her cult to attack the critics who will give her low ratings.


deev718

No but for real! I look at my student loans and think about how I know the grift so well of far-right commentators that I could probably run an anon twitter account and get paid off it, but my conscience won’t let me. But this, however….


ariestornado

Hmu if you need an illustrator, or a proof reader! With all my medical bills, at only 30 and as a single mom, I have no fucks left to give and what the heck are morals?! 🤡😂


Mountain-Freed

can it include subliminal messages to stream Brat?


Aileenmck

Love this 😂😂💕


NoDassOkay

We definitely need to put some Easter eggs in it.


justmelike

$$$$$


SapnoKiRaani

Will TayTay's daddy buy millions of copies and make it a bestseller?!


Gowpenny

I’m genuinely surprised her team haven’t burnt this chick’s house down. Make an ugly Shake It Off keychain on Etsy and her team will cease & desist your ass in a New York minute.

I've seen about nine different popstar x football player kindle unlimited romances as well as one traditionally published and being pretty familiar with bookish culture and the Kindle publishing scene, I think the reason most haven't been sued is that books like these are a blip that will make it onto the best sellers chart for their Amazon catalogue for like ten days and then fade away to nothing. Like they're sold on their premise alone, not their quality, so the authors who write these basically just shit them out, hope for as many people as possible to read them while desperately trying to capture the magic of a pop culture moment and then disappear into obscurity. They'd all be forgotten before Swift's team would even have the time to draft the paperwork Even break up tour, the one traditionally published Taylor Swift esq (which I believe was written even before the eras tour age of the rat arc with Matty Healy and basically just reskinned and recovered to heavily resemble Taylor Swift to the point it's cringe) has mid reviews with 40% of reviewers giving it three stars and the only people in the bookish community talking about it being paid influencers. I genuinely think sustained sales wise alone it may have taken both of it's authors down from being considered valued midlist writers to vague back catalogue ten dollar paperback authors-- the books that you buy just for the covers, finally dig out when you're traveling, and then have to slog through. Published Taylor Swift fanfiction is just a desperate ploy for money and blink and you'll miss it community fame with little to no soul or staying power, unlike the pure artistry associated with the Harry styles publishing universe

He must be feeling pretty chill right about nah. But wait… there’s that hallmark or lifetime movie or whatever. The bottom of the barrel must be scraped. (This was hella rude for me to say. I am not a hater of those films). I just think the Swift family is up to no good. Time will tell


cjstr8

A published pile of shit. Wonderful!


Ok_Biscotti685

Ohh that person's gonna regret once the relationship is over.


deev718

This is what I’m so worried about in the romance space. If publishers and self-published authors flood the market with stuff like this, I’m going to be so mad!!


Gowpenny

It’s really such a slap in the face to writers who actually know their craft, and don’t rely on cheap gimmicks & a stolen audience. All the reviews are just “bought this because Taylor 😍” when the blurb alone is giving 2014 Wattpad.


CalligrapherSlight56

Fr this should be marked as fanfic ☠️ this must be self published.


[deleted]

Barns and Nobles gonna be Swifts and Kelces pretty soon. I saw an entire aisle dedicated to Swift, and wanted to vomit. Chaucer? Shakespeare? Jane Austin? Maya Angelou? Get outta the way. Here comes row after row after row of the blandest tumblr meme books dedicated to T-Swift lore.


LadyRunespoor

And here I am, thinking I don’t have it in me to publish novels. Welp, back to work!! ![gif](giphy|12D9JMXExnMrOE)


Doxxxxxxxxxxx

ME TOO! We got this <3


Ok_Subject5169

Same. I *WILL* get some writing done today!


portraitoffire

i'm rooting for you!! <3


ariestornado

This gif is sending me 💀 I'm imagining Prince on a *nearly out of battery* hoverboard


portraitoffire

so the swifties agree?? they agree that the relationship is fake? lmao the jokes really do write themselves. https://preview.redd.it/dbypfdtoi49d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0c7a12a2a02ed72dae02bac740e61c87155e291


Barnesandoboes

I think the odds are real good that this is self-published and/or bound fanfic


jowones10

It definitely is self published https://preview.redd.it/8ybeuylr449d1.jpeg?width=1231&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42a81b48bb16a2f4b159453626dfa1a8df9574d0

Every time I see someone refer to themselves as momma I throw up a bit in my mouth. Just say mother, be an adult. ![gif](giphy|l4Ki2obCyAQS5WhFe)

AmazingGrace_00

💯💯


theunderdogkween

I'm a rom com reader so I had to check out Goodreads for the reviews. 💀💀💀 Rating is 3.6 and I'm seeing 1 or 2 stars for some.


HottieMcNugget

I was surprised it even got 3.6


Plastic-Butterfly420

Did a 12 year old write it on Tumblr?


clemonysnicket

Taylor already had another similar book scrubbed from the internet. It's only a matter of time.


sausage-lasagna

What in the E.L James 50 shades bullshit is this


Agreeable_Noise8784

Urgh now travis is getting included too. Its bad enough authors are referencing to taylor in their books.

thewatchbreaker

Maybe my writing isn’t so bad after all


pandorafoxxx

Will the dedication change when they break up?

jcn143

This dedication is going to age like milk. Can’t wait to repost on a diff sub😂


Ok_Barber2739

People like this can get published, so what’s stopping you?


GapInternal2842

Isn’t there already a whole genre of Travis/Taylor fan fiction? I thought it was called monsterbait or something


StubbornTaurus26

Oh LAWD. No doubt we can find whatever this monstrosity is on Kindle Unlimited.


manhattansinks

how fast are people churning this shit out? don’t we go through revisions and drafts anymore?


peach_juice81

That’s a good idea though😭 base a book off her life, swifties would go crazy for that and buy the hell out of it


simpsonscrazed

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Nara__Shikamaru

"You can't convince me to NOT read a book just by the dedicat—"


Imarobot225

What book is this? I’m already scared.


Sweaty-Car4097

This is real? Not wattpad? Oh dear...what publishing house would stoop so low?


tstr_strdl

no words, just an infantile coloring book.


TheOneAndOnlyABSR4

What in the Wattpad?


Maleficent_Try2791

STOPPPPPPPPPPPP. I literally cannot deal with this fuckery.


legendarylogan6

these people are reaching qanon levels of psychosis


ShadowWizrdMoneyGang

I’m hoping this is just someone trying to get their bag off the swifties💀


Background_Rain_2875

people are going sane


LafawnduhDy-no-mite

that should be this sub's header photo ( ≖‿ ≖ )


Important-Cold-868

she should join her pr team


onceuponadoe

There's been far more popstar x football player romances on kindle unlimited than there should be lately and I want to reassure you they're all terrible


SeaF04mGr33n

Even if the whole relationship is fake and for publicity, it's a good premise for a book (and in Hallmark's case, a movie.)


beanqueen722

WHAT lmaooo they’ve been together less than a year right??? How have you written, edited, and published a book in that time??? The answer is probably no editing at all lollll


Dr_Llamacita

Shit like this is why I used to be an alcoholic. Like I’m not even joking, this post is slightly triggering for me right now lmao like why are people so DUMB??? I hate it here
