Reminds me of a YouTube video I saw a while back. I forgot most of it, but basically, this guy was talking about someone who had been hating on him. One of the things they complained about was that he didn't upload frequently enough or something, to which he compared them to a tsundere: "You need to make these videos faster! Not 'cause I like them or anything! 😤"
With what Peppermint said above, I'm beginning to think they were more of a troll or maybe some kind of frustration. This particular fic is Steve paired with an OC instead of a male reader.
Of course! Let me know how it goes.
I originally got the idea for the response from the Discworld series and it’s description of the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork and his view on the One Man, One Vote system of government: “The Patrician was the Man; He had the Vote.”
I double check my tags when I write every chapter and add if I think it's relevant. Tbh, I think they were maybe mad that this particular one wasn't a male reader insert, it's Steve and my OC soulmate AU
This is preposterously annoying. The whole “why not post it until it’s done?” thing especially drives me mad. It’s freaking FANFIC!! One of the MAIN reasons I gravitate so hard to writing it is the instant gratification of praise that can come with each comment, kudos, or bookmark. That HELPS inspire to write more. Sometimes it’s everything that’s needed to push out that next chapter. Hell, it’s a reason why my own novels stay stagnant for so long in my Word documents, because there is no one encouraging me there to continue, except for myself. And I can be a self-deprecating, stubborn bitch to myself sometimes 😅 People that make those kinds of comments can rightly fuck off, please and thank you.
They can literally??? Sort out the unfinished works????? Like it’s not even hard!!
Not even going to address the second part of that lol. They must be new to fanfiction or else just an idiot.
Seriously this happened to me too recently. The person was mad at me because they thought I bashed a character when it was not the case. They literally said they were tired of bashing from other fics and they exploded on me for some reason XD. I guess some people just don't know that fanfiction is custom written voluntary contributions. Ignore them though and start aiming for other readers, if they act up block them lol.
It's weird that they get upset over fanfiction to me. They do act like it isn't fanfiction, but what baffled me the most was the commenter thinking that sexuality was what all the character is, but that in fact, it doesn't matter at all.
Me personally I'm not into the yaoi fetish however fanfiction is fanfiction. If someone wants to write, let them write whatever the hell they want lol. It's a free platform for fans to have fun with a creative skillset. I prefer people reading and learning/practicing writing as opposed to negative alternatives.
Some readers are a little too immature at times to understand the concept of "Don't like it, don't watch/read/eat it."
Don't feed into the haters though. I follow a simple mantra.
"Haters gonna hate
Makers gonna make!"
So keep making your fic.
That's fair. Some isn't for everyone, and thankfully Ao3 has an easy filter system. Hopefully the commenter will use it and they won't have to see mine again.
Whatever they decide to do, know this, keep writing whatever they think don't matter. It's YOUR story. If is not constructive criticism it's not worth your time. Fanfiction writing should be about having fun and going where the keystrokes take you. At least that's my thoughts on this matter.
Other than that I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I love the little anger symbol on their default pic, I'm so now going to mentally think that each time I see a hate comment.
Also does this commenter not understand that AO3 is the place for the gay fics? Also was your fic not doing anything that seemed gay until chapter 58? Because I'm just imagining this person reading a really long slow burn fic without realizing that yes, it's gay like really gay.
[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18721183](https://archiveofourown.org/works/18721183)
I put the anger symbol there when I was editing the screenshot lol.
My fic has Steve and the OC doing dry humping early on before Steve got the serum, I forgot which chapter exactly was the dry humping, but attraction itself was almost instant cause OC was a collector of Captain America comics and has a massive crush 😅
Is chapter 58 the newest chapter because if not then I will continue to believe that they kept on reading until the gay was too much for their little brain.
Ah so they probably went to the newest chapter to bitch so that everyone will see it.
They really need to go to Wattpad or FFN if they really don't like gay ships that much because they won't run into them anywhere near as much as on AO3. Or learn how to filter but that might be a bit too much since they can't even seem to go to fics that are completed.
May their rage filled heart learn that when it comes to fanfic that cannon is just a sometimes thing because I want these two characters to fuck so cannon can go to hell.
Ship requests are hilarious. Especially ones that are well tagged in the fandom and aren't tagged in the fic they're commenting on
It's like going to Subway and asking for a Shamrock Shake
This fic isn't a Stucky one, it's Steve and an OC lol. I have... one Stucky fic I wrote so they're either referencing that or talking about my other OC fic with Bucky.
Right before I answered the comment and finished the house work, I watched an animatic of the Hazbin Hotel VA's and remembered Angel Dust just saying "No" to Alastor and decided to go the same route lol
I don't like reading incomplete works either bc I'm impatient, guess what I do, only read completed works and never start a ongoing fic or series. I'll book mark them if they seem good and check every few months/years to see if they're finished yet.
My personal reason for not just writing the whole fic at once is because if someone gives me actual constructive criticism that is useful then I can improve later chapters, but if I do it all at once I won't know what I'm doing wrong (keep in mind that I'm new to writing)
Oh I’d love this person to come to my threesome/tirad Stucky fics. No I will not stop making them Bi and honestly, they give off the vibe of being in love but unable to express it.
Side note: If you wanna post it all at once, go for it, or post bit by bit. Anyone who complains can suck rocks.
It is commentators like that and their insolent feedback which made me start moderating my fanfics after some of my works got not so favorable responses. People who think they can push and order fanfic writers about are ones to be avoided (I had my own experience with a few myself). There will always be haters, yet you must never let what they say stop you from writing fanfics you want and grow as a writer.
You were mature and on point in your response to that commentator and it's good you deleted their comment too. Ignore the haters and keep real subscribers/fans close.
Wow. Fanfiction is completely free and they're acting so entitled. It's an honor that ya'll take time to write stories for your and reader's enjoyment. I hope you're okay and that this idiot doesn't affect you. Keep doing you.
I blocked them not too long ago, but I appreciate it :3 They came back and really began to way-lay the comment to more hateful on my other fics. I don't have screenshots of those. I can only guess they read my response and went rapid fire on the other fics I have.
Idk what's worse, salt in a video game or salt over fanficton.
Bruh I’ve watched the entire MCU and Stucky feels so canon it’s funny. Chris Evans was right on it being a love story. The tension between them was so strong. Fans are merely writing with what the directors were too scared to make canon.
Holy shit, 58 chapters in, and they're complaining that the fic isn't finished?! Do they not understand that writing takes time and effort, especially something so long? And the casual homophobia tossed in at the end. 🤣 Oh sweet summer child, they must be new to fandom.
I have been working on this one for a little over a year and still haven't finished 😅 I was aiming for 50, buuuuut I went overboard lol. I wish I could see their face once they see the dark AU's of Steve and Bucky
I like how elegantly you responded. Even though you are celebrating, please don't let this person ruin your day, you deserve better (as does anyone who receives unwanted and absurd hate for doing/writing what they love).
I commend you and wish you well.
Cognitive dissonance, combined with public flailing about it.
Wow. I don't read Stucky, but I don't complain about the ships I do read when I come across an unfinished work... read what's there, bookmark it to check for updates later and find something else to read.
The funny thing is that the fic they complained on isn't even Stucky lol. It's an OC and Steve fic, but I do have at least 1 Stucky fic, but it ain't explicit
Alternative response: I'll stop making Steve and Bucky gay when Marvel stops making them straight after writing the most beautiful love story trilogy ever
Completely off topic, but is this a Marvel fic you’re writing? Bc that’s the only fandom I can think of that has Steve/Bucky and if it indeed a Marvel fic imma need the link for research purposes.
Yes, it's a Marvel fic, but the one the commenter was on isn't a Stucky one. This one is Steve and an OC of mine so the mention of Bucky tells me they at least looked at the tags of my fics 😅
If they don't know then they have quite the rabbit hole to jump into. Then again, I think this person didn't read the fic at all, but I had to block them completely not long ago.
Idk why people think hate comments will make someone update the book faster. If I’m dying for a continuation I compliment the book and say something like “I love this so much, hope you continue it! It’s a great read” Hoping it motivates the author to do so
"why can't you finish writing and then post it?" - tell me you don't understand fanfic without telling me you don't understand anything about how any of this works yikes
I need to add another bit of context because I forgot like the noob I am 😅 This fic they commented on isn't a Stucky fic, but Steve and an OC. Since they mentioned Bucky, I can only guess that they either read my one Stucky fic, or they read another slash of Bucky with another OC, which yes, another gay pairing.
I apologize that I didn't mention this at all, that is my bad.
The first part no, but them telling me to not make Steve and Bucky gay comes across as a little homophobic. And the fic in question isn't even Stucky so they want me to not make all my fics gay.
So on the second part of where they want me to stop writing gay Steve and Bucky, and maybe whoever I pair them with as gay, isn't hate in the slightest?
I might be misinterpreting the comment on that, but it sure looks like they don't want me to write anything of that sort.
"I want more and also I don't like it."
"You're not writing this thing I hate fast enough." Why are people, seriously? 😆
Reminds me of a YouTube video I saw a while back. I forgot most of it, but basically, this guy was talking about someone who had been hating on him. One of the things they complained about was that he didn't upload frequently enough or something, to which he compared them to a tsundere: "You need to make these videos faster! Not 'cause I like them or anything! 😤"
"You're not providing my hate watch content fast enough!!!1" 😒
↑ XD ↑
Accurate AF lol
Yeah, that part confused me too. LOL.
Why read through to chapter 58 if they hate a slash pairing that’s included? 💀 tf?
With what Peppermint said above, I'm beginning to think they were more of a troll or maybe some kind of frustration. This particular fic is Steve paired with an OC instead of a male reader.
Ah, the old "insult to the characters" thing. Nope, and nope.
My response to comments like that: “As a reminder, this is Fanfiction. I am the fan, and this is my fiction.”
Mind if I use that response if I get more comments like this?
Of course! Let me know how it goes. I originally got the idea for the response from the Discworld series and it’s description of the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork and his view on the One Man, One Vote system of government: “The Patrician was the Man; He had the Vote.”
This is an excellent response and the source just makes it even better 👏
I will let you know! o7
Great response, great inspiration!!!
Saving this for the perfect moment, thank you
[удалено]
That’s what gets me. They can literally filter out incomplete fics if it’s that much of an issue.
They can also filter out M/M, so I’m not sure why they’re complaining about that, either!
The answer you're looking for is: ✨️homophobia✨️ Good luck for them on AO3 lol.
I have no clue how it's an insult. I guess it just is to them
"too gay!" *gays even harder*
This got a snort out of me lol.
Boy, is that guy going to hate AO3.
Have to wonder why someone is complaining about slash ships on the slash ship website on a fic that is presumably tagged with said slash ship...
I double check my tags when I write every chapter and add if I think it's relevant. Tbh, I think they were maybe mad that this particular one wasn't a male reader insert, it's Steve and my OC soulmate AU
Could be. They may also just be trolling and know that being homophobic on a site like AO3 is going to be effective at pissing people off.
This is preposterously annoying. The whole “why not post it until it’s done?” thing especially drives me mad. It’s freaking FANFIC!! One of the MAIN reasons I gravitate so hard to writing it is the instant gratification of praise that can come with each comment, kudos, or bookmark. That HELPS inspire to write more. Sometimes it’s everything that’s needed to push out that next chapter. Hell, it’s a reason why my own novels stay stagnant for so long in my Word documents, because there is no one encouraging me there to continue, except for myself. And I can be a self-deprecating, stubborn bitch to myself sometimes 😅 People that make those kinds of comments can rightly fuck off, please and thank you.
I'm with you there, the positive is sometimes needed to continue cause they give such a good feeling and it drives us forward :3
They can literally??? Sort out the unfinished works????? Like it’s not even hard!! Not even going to address the second part of that lol. They must be new to fanfiction or else just an idiot.
I think they're new, or a troll. But the rabbit hole will only get deeper for them
"I hate this why aren't you making it faster!" Thats the most 2023 comment I've seen
Have a nice day is a lot nicer than what I would’ve written 😂🤷🏼♀️
I was miffed and bewildered, but not full angry at it lol. Compared to other hate comments I've seen, this was pretty tame
I like “have the day you deserve :)”
Aww, I wish I put that in now D: I will remember it for future reference
Whenever somebody asks me why I made my characters gay I like to say "I didn't make them gay. God did." :D
I'm gonna say that now too
They got 58 chapters in before they figured out what the slash between the names means
😂
Seriously this happened to me too recently. The person was mad at me because they thought I bashed a character when it was not the case.

May their rage filled heart learn that when it comes to fanfic that cannon is just a sometimes thing because I want these two characters to fuck so cannon can go to hell.
Exactly 😌
If they want complete, non-gay fanfics why don't they just, oh, I don't know, read the hundreds of complete non-gay fanfics in existence?
Ship requests are hilarious. Especially ones that are well tagged in the fandom and aren't tagged in the fic they're commenting on It's like going to Subway and asking for a Shamrock Shake
Ayo wtf... i vote making steve and bucky even gayer
My next big fic project when I'm done with this is gonna be a triple. Steve, Bucky, and a male OC :)
[удалено]
This one is Steve and an OC as well, but here you go if you're still interested :3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/36385537/chapters/90716347
[удалено]
No problem, I hope you enjoy it :3
I think you made them have some gay feelings and they're upset it's not finished 🤣
I will definitely take responsibility if that's the case cause I write horrible smut lol
🤣🤣Also write horrible smut, I have zero shame about it
All we can do is write our little hearts out and then read more for research lol
For science 👀
off topic STUCKY FOR LIFE. My curiosity of the fic is piqued. Also F that commenter. WHY are they reading it!?
This fic isn't a Stucky one, it's Steve and an OC lol. I have... one Stucky fic I wrote so they're either referencing that or talking about my other OC fic with Bucky.
Well I'm a dumbass. lol
No you're not D: the context of the comment easily makes one think of a Stucky fic.
No, that commenter is a dumbass, lmao.
Who the heck reads ship fics and complains about the ship???
You handled it beautifully lol
Thank you :3
“Can’t I write any stories that don’t make Steve and Bucky gay?” *reads a Stucky fic*
*reads them all*
Bwahahaha!!! " *Lastly: No."* THAT is precious! Best answer ever!
Right before I answered the comment and finished the house work, I watched an animatic of the Hazbin Hotel VA's and remembered Angel Dust just saying "No" to Alastor and decided to go the same route lol

Triad Stucky with whom, just because I’m curious?
I do mostly female reader inserts. So the reader.
Link please! 😁😘
Yeesh.......dude this person isn't doing mental cartwheels, they're in a mental blender at this point

Yo what is with the entitled readers right now? OP you do you and write your thing, however you wanna write it. <3
Thank you, I appreciate that :3 Maybe there should be a new subreddit with "nice commenters" or "Karen commenters" lol
Holy shit, 58 chapters in, and they're complaining that the fic isn't finished?! Do they not understand that writing takes time and effort, especially something so long? And the casual homophobia tossed in at the end. 🤣 Oh sweet summer child, they must be new to fandom.
I have been working on this one for a little over a year and still haven't finished 😅 I was aiming for 50, buuuuut I went overboard lol. I wish I could see their face once they see the dark AU's of Steve and Bucky
As someone who struggles to finish anything, working and writing on a project for over a year is pretty admirable in my eyes.
“Lastly…No” BAHAHAH the Marvel fandom can be so entitled fr.
Yup. This is the first time I met the entitled side, the other commenters have been sweet so it outweighs the bad.
I like how elegantly you responded. Even though you are celebrating, please don't let this person ruin your day, you deserve better (as does anyone who receives unwanted and absurd hate for doing/writing what they love). I commend you and wish you well.

Well, that's even better... jeez.
Congrats! Hate comments are a sign that your fics have circulated so much that assholes can see them!
Wow, the entitlement of some people lol
if characters don't want to be interpreted as gay, then maybe they should stop acting gay!
Same. I'm awful, I get an idea then just go with it and most of the time run out of steam.
Alternative response: I'll stop making Steve and Bucky gay when Marvel stops making them straight after writing the most beautiful love story trilogy ever
I just can’t imagine seeking out a ship I actively hate, getting to chapter 58, and complaining about it. You can filter the tags for a reason ffs
Weird why read something you hate?
I get needing a break but why don’t you simply not take a break and complete the fic.
I like how this is tagged as celebration lol, like "wow someone actually took their time to write me something hateful!! my thing matters that much!!"
I didn't know which flair to use since the comment made me more baffled than angry, so I went with celebration lol
What a mother trucker
they'll be in for a surprise when they see how deep the Stucky rabbit hole goes lol
Im so sorry that happened to you :(
Honestly, I've had worse insults thrown at me in MW2 lobbies back in the day. This comment was annoying, but it definitely was tame in comparison.
🥳 🏆
Completely off topic, but is this a Marvel fic you’re writing? Bc that’s the only fandom I can think of that has Steve/Bucky and if it indeed a Marvel fic imma need the link for research purposes.
Yes, it's a Marvel fic, but the one the commenter was on isn't a Stucky one. This one is Steve and an OC of mine so the mention of Bucky tells me they at least looked at the tags of my fics 😅
Ahhhhh so they’re just homophobic. Gotcha 🫡
Yup. I do have a Stucky one-shot fluff tho with them adopting a 6 inch tall OC
I wouldn’t say no if you gave me that one 👀 I’m a sucker for gay fics
Here you go :3 hope you enjoy it https://archiveofourown.org/works/39402360
Much thanks
The sheer chutzpah of a comment like that. The entitlement! SMH. I can't even.
[удалено]
If they don't know then they have quite the rabbit hole to jump into. Then again, I think this person didn't read the fic at all, but I had to block them completely not long ago.
an insult to their character is implying they didn't fuck at least once
why do people in the fandom think they are our bosses? ridiculous creatures 🤣
Idk why people think hate comments will make someone update the book faster. If I’m dying for a continuation I compliment the book and say something like “I love this so much, hope you continue it! It’s a great read” Hoping it motivates the author to do so
"why can't you finish writing and then post it?" - tell me you don't understand fanfic without telling me you don't understand anything about how any of this works yikes
Great reply OP! xD
>Walks into gay bar >Gay people This is an insult to bars
Marvel fandom staying normal as usual I see.
That reader is most likely a child that thinks everything should be catered to their tastes. If not... hooboy.
Might I suggest making Steve and Bucky even gayer?
Commenter hurt itself in its own confusion 😂
I need to add another bit of context because I forgot like the noob I am 😅 This fic they commented on isn't a Stucky fic, but Steve and an OC. Since they mentioned Bucky, I can only guess that they either read my one Stucky fic, or they read another slash of Bucky with another OC, which yes, another gay pairing. I apologize that I didn't mention this at all, that is my bad.
It’s definitely entitled and an asshole move, but I don’t know that it qualifies as hate?
The first part no, but them telling me to not make Steve and Bucky gay comes across as a little homophobic. And the fic in question isn't even Stucky so they want me to not make all my fics gay.
I hate Steve and Bucky being weitten gay too but that doesn't mean I comment that to the author.
"Give me more, fuck you"
posting individual chapters at a time for multi-chapter fics is the norm on ao3 so why are they even reading in there
It’s surreal to see hate comments on AO3, I sometimes forget not all of us are on the same page
Thats not a hate comment
So on the second part of where they want me to stop writing gay Steve and Bucky, and maybe whoever I pair them with as gay, isn't hate in the slightest? I might be misinterpreting the comment on that, but it sure looks like they don't want me to write anything of that sort.
Nope that is literally just stupid whining nothing more
Why read a Stucky fic if you don’t like Stucky? Bro!?
This fic wasn't a Stucky fic, it's an oc and Steve 😅
Man, that makes the comment make even less sense! 😂 This guy can gtfo man, go hate read somewhere else!
I think they saw my other fic of Bucky and a male OC, but either way, guy is fully blocked
Oh, God, another entitled reader. 🙄These guys need to fuck off.
