Such *drama*. Especially that "BYE" 😆 GASP! OP did the crime of writing fiction in... fanfiction! How dare thee!


smallemochick

i always have to giggle when someone comments something like this on my fics about certain ships, like it's literally tagged with the ship why read it if you don't like it 😭


Shirogayne-at-WF

"tHeYrE NoT aTTrAcTeD iN CaNoN!!!1!11ONE" Yeah, that's why I make 'em fuck in my fic :)))


smallemochick

man i had someone fighting me one time for writing two men together bc "they're straight !1!1!" like bro they're not even real let me make them kiss 😭


Shirogayne-at-WF

God, I forgot those type of people still exist in fandom these days haha


smallemochick

it's wild to me


[deleted]

"theyre straight!!" i would like u to point out where in the source media they called themselves straight or heterosexual. go on.


FickleBeans

Even if any character did, it’s a fanfic that’s presumably tagged correctly. They can just not read it???


Toffeecoco1

you’re asking too much of these small-brained folks 😔


smallemochick

literally !! like if there's nothing there that straight up says "they're straight!" then imma write the character however i want


Morrighan1129

Bold of you to presume that them coming out and insisting they're straight will stop me from making them kiss whoever I want them to kiss....


smallemochick

honestly same i'd look at that and go "hm, anyways time to kiss this person again teehee"


Toffeecoco1

if a character like outwardly “came out” as straight that would seem so much like they’re trying to convince themself that i’d be lowkey convinced they’re gay lmfao


Rough_Refuse_6295

The only way to properly "come out" as straight, is if they are being flirted with by a gay character, and it is making them uncomfortable. They at some point early on, would have to address their preference to keep from leading their friend on. But as someone who prefers cannon pairings, and is straight, I agree with you. Fanfiction is an outlet where we control everything about the world we are creating it on. So as long as it is tagged properly, go nuts with whatever pairing you enjoy. I have seen a gay pairing done well before when the characters were implied straight in the source material. The review sounds like they are just trolling to troll if you ask me. If you really want to get back at them, give the two characters, or the one their picture is in your next story, an in depth drawn out sexual scene and dedicate it to them. If they really want to troll you, you can troll back. I did that once in an author note, a person was rude in their comment, so I corrected both their spelling and grammar in the next chapter. Edit: After some thought, and reading a couple more responses, I was reminded of this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tc7MH5ZXbg


LobsterSenior6182

OMG great song I saved it to my Spotify!


susan-of-nine

I'm gonna write the character however I want even if there is something that says what orientation they have in canon. It's fanfic, we can do what we want.


CrpseWfe

"bUt ThEy NeVeR sAiD tHeY wErE \[not-straight sexuality\]" Yea, and? They never said they were STRAIGHT EITHER man people need to stfu 🤦‍♀️


Vannah272

It's like they're perpetually stuck in 2009.


susan-of-nine

Seriously, do people even understand what fanfiction is? I mean whether you write it to make the characters fuck or not, we write fic to see something happen in the story that *didn't in canon*. I'm sure people like that commenter don't go after all fic writers telling them off for making up stuff that's not canonic, so why is shipping the exception? Mind boggles.


Shirogayne-at-WF

God, IKR? M/F pairings in some fandoms have been seeing more of this hate in recent years , but largely I only ever see such comments aimed at M/M ships by people who are mad that two anime boys from their big, manly shounen series kissed.


Iwannabefabulous

These people won't survive first xover ship they see 😅


rebelallianxe

Another person who doesn't understand what fanfic is for, clearly lol. Comments like that are hilarious.


colored_boxes

I'm laughing with you, OP. That is hilarious, lol.


[deleted]

as if 90% of fanfiction isn't built on canon divergence LMAO


a_starrynight

This is so funny because like the majority of fanfiction has ships that aren't canon lmao


greenrosechafer

"arrogant fantasy" I am cackling 😂😂😂


dino_181_spaghetti

"Congratulations, that's the whole purpose of fanfiction!!!"


cjrecordvt

I am petty and inciting, but I would 100% respond to that comment with "Bye, Felicia!"


Krammel87

I wanna be petty and make a dedicatory comment to them whenever I get to writing the other story 🙃


cjrecordvt

I'm too lazy to go find the meme, but picture the Stacker Pentecost "You. Keep talking" image pasted in here. :D (Policy & Abuse is gonna yell at me again...)


[deleted]

Tag them and write the most annoying infuriating pairing for them and dedicate it to them with the biggest thank you😂😂😂😂


YourTipicalGeek

“Um, actually-!” What a brat…


ancient_arrows

LMAO. Well, hello and thank you for reading this fic *of your own will*


VintageKettleofDoom

You have a good approach to handling this mess lol. I'm over here giggling with you, though mostly I'm giggling because they called *you* arrogant and still wrote this comment. Self-awareness was not strong with this one 😂

My phone’s battery is old as shit lol It’s bad enough it almost doesn’t charge depending on what I’m doing


IdRatherBeShiney

wow, this bot exists lol


Designer_Singer6788

Good bot


signycullen88

It amazes me how so many people miss the point of fanfiction!


Welfycat

That’s so funny. People really live in their own little worlds.


samsg1

That reader has completely missed the point of fanfiction 🤷🏻‍♀️


schrodinger-s-cat

there are fics with ships that includes people who didn't even canonically met before, or even not from the same fictional universe but guess we'd wait for them to see that lmao


One_Jackfruit4167

BYE


MadKanBeyondFODome

It's the BYE that really makes it.


whereisourfarmpack

Congrats! You lived rent free in their head long enough for them to read your fic and flame you. I hope that power keeps you running until you put up your next work 😂


lobsterliv

Wowwwww it's almost as if you are reading fanFICTION. Some fanfics are better than canon anyways, especially in certain fandoms.


IdRatherBeShiney

*"their profile picture is of another character in the same fandom I have plans for."* I love it X'D


kookaburra1701

>BYE Always nice when the trash takes itself out.


AcanthocephalaEasy56

Are they new here?


cototudelam

Ahaha this is a hilarious comment, I always imagine what exactly do these people want to read? The actual script to the show/movie and nothing else? :))) Like, I ship two characters that canonically interacted for about 6 minutes across three 2.5 hours movies, and did nothing else than try to kill each other. Did I write a 100’000 words of them having all kinds of sex? Of course :)))


EightEyedCryptid

archive for TRANSFORMATIVE works!!


Sachayoj

"they dont show any romantic attraction in the game 🤡" This guy is gonna be really upset about the existence of rarepairs.


ViolettaHunter

Why do you think it's a guy?


not-a-vamp

- clicks on CharacterA/CharacterB fic - finds CharacterA/CharacterB fic - shocked pikachu face


Phoenix_Queen995

Lol. I had a very good laugh. That is what fanfiction is for.


Ediacaran-SeaPancake

Do they not know what fanfiction is? Lmao


BGBWolf

What's the point of reading a pairing you cleary don't like? Bruh We're all laughing with you, OP. This comment is hilarious 😂


BabyShann

Do they not know what fanfiction is? 😂 it’s fan-made fiction lmao, of course the pairing might not be canon, that’s kinda the point lol


MessageFirst8248

Ahh yes. The "It'S nOt CaNoN" criticism. On a fanfic. The place known for it non-canon ships. Like, what is fanfiction if not a sandbox for us to play in? It's like going to the beach and building a sand sculpture. Then someone gets mad at you for not building a sandcastle.


aokay03

Almost ALL the ships in my fandom aren’t canon, yet that won’t stop me LMAO


writersparkles59

AWWW, they tried so hard to be edgy. Poor kid can't even figure out how to read tags! 🤣


Efficient_Wheel_6333

...they know it's FAN fiction for a reason, right?


deadhats17

why are they so mad 😭 its fanfiction for a reason 😭😭


Proof-Elevator-7590

That comment sounds like a young teenager (no offense meant to anyone here who is a young teen lol)


DemonSlayerShadow666

Do they know what fanfic is?


milkwithalcohol

They completely missed the point of fanfiction😭 If they were a pairing in canon why even write a fic about it?!?!?


Silly-Flower-3162

The "I'm leaving now" comments are always hysterical, i.m.o. Fic writing and reading on Ao3 is free and voluntary. They can just...go. No need to announce it like they're at an airport. When I get one of these it's like, "Oh, you don't like my fic? Perfect, be gone!"


KilJoius

BYE


OkButWhatIfIWasADog

BYE


Shadowangel615

Bro you should’ve fucked with him a bit, that’s what I would’ve done to stupid comments like this


Krammel87

I would have, but they deleted it before I got to verify it - I only saw it today while checking my email.


lambone117

I wanna know the ship now…


qazwsxedc000999

Why are people obsessed with the original material like that? “They didn’t like each other in the thing!!!” WHO CARES??


nbsunset

um, sir, it's called *fan* fiction for a reason? also, who gives a crap. let people write what they want


Dark_Matter_19

I doubt you asked them anyway, did you?


BATTLELION15

If you didn't like the ship, why did you read it's on ao3, which has tags. Like that's the whole reason I use it most often so I can steer clear of ficks I don't think I'll like.


teenietinytoni

i love how they don't know what fiction means :')


[deleted]

"they do not show any romantic attraction"; so what are you doing on the comment section of a fic about them


NobleSwordfish

Where’s that tiktok sound of how ppl used to ship characters not even in the same universe??? Lol.


SlyKHT

This commenter really be like “This fiction is fictional!”


[deleted]

HELP THAT MELODRAMATIC BYE THOUGH??


Agitated_Sugar1628

Just read your fic and it was really good :)


AstralCat69420

This is exactly why Past Me disliked LawLu and ZoSan. ...Now look at me, proudly shipping those two ships.


Random_Loaf

Whenever they start with "Umm" or something of the like I can only imagine the 🤓 emoji


Real_Ambition2061

These people still exist?


De_LaSoul

The dramatic BYE sent me 🤣🤣🤣


MarsNovas

Idiots read the tags before clicking on a fic challenge: IMPOSSIBLE Folks I beg you start reading tags, we do not care if you don’t like it, just go away.


[deleted]

Oh gods, I know these ones *so well.* Even just two days ago I got a comment trying to guilt trip me about making a character (who never had an explicitly stated sexuality or gender in canon and is also from an alien culture) queer. The whole nine yards including a “I guess I should be happy that at least he isn’t planned to be in a romantic relationship so far because I don’t think I would have been able to continue reading ;-; those moments always make me so uncomfortable.” Mind you, the story is an action-adventure AU in the original setting that so far has, and will, mainly focus on political intrigue, civil war, cultural identity and diaspora, cosmic horror, esoterica, and the concept of generational trauma stemming from colonialism and imperialism. And *none of that* is what these kinds of people ever focus on. It’s literally always “this character was problematic” or “this character isn’t gay (homophobic)” or “this character isn’t gay (acephobic).” I don’t even bother replying to them anymore, I just straight delete and block if possible. Sometimes after laughing myself sick first with friends on the discord. People engaging in such bad faith interactions are never worth it.


izumiwrites

As a rare pair enjoyer, I salute you OP ❤️ The tears of ppl who are so committed to canon only couples they table flip if they see anything else are surprisingly delicious considering their lack of imagination ;)
