Please Please Please Refrain From Paywalling Any Sort Of Fanfic. The Lack Of Monetary Gain From Fanfiction

Please please please refrain from paywalling any sort of fanfic. The lack of monetary gain from fanfiction is one of the core reasons we are legally allowed to create/share/read it.

Fair Use doesn't entirely hinge on whether or not we are earning money, but it is one of the biggest factors a court will consider.

The OTW (company responsible for our ability to legally create fanfic; also owns Ao3) already does so much for us legally, and we absolutely do not need to make their job any harder.

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

i would like to tell you about Giant Freshwater Stingray!!!

at over 6ft across, they are one of the largest freshwater fish in the world!

sir, that is a river monster. 

they give live birth to a litter of up to 4 pups, and are all extremely good-looking and charismatic:

a good fact to know is that they are basically floppy pancakes. just flappy flapjacks. wiggly mushrooms:

their stings are coated in toxic mucus (toxic mucus, how cool is that), but they are typically docile and curious.

oh. oh oh oh!! and this is what it looks like upside down!

i love you giant freshwater stingray!!!!!

i was thinking about which konoha kids would have the worst tanlines, and i made a helpful chart

(+ bonus kakashi bc his tanline would be awful oh my god)
