It Ain't Yours - Tumblr Posts

3 years ago

I actually made a comment about this on an Ao3 story a while back;

“ 'My writing does not exist to suit your tastes.' VERY well said! There have been several stories where I've thought that it would be better if 'this' happened, or if it went in 'that' direction. However, I DO NOT say anything, because, in the end, it's not MY STORY. If I like the story, I like it. If I don't, I don't. I have NO CONTROL over what YOU write. (Taking advice from the comments is entirely up to the author, not the readers.) “

Yes, it’s about writing, but it can be applied to, well, pretty much anything. The ‘subject’ belongs to the ‘creator’, not the ‘viewer’. If you don’t like what the ‘creator’ has done, either make your own ‘subject’, or stop bitching.

(ps - PMSeymour, you are amazing and never fail to brighten up my day. Thank you. Whatever it is that makes you happy, I hope you keep enjoying it!)

Shouldn't need to be said, but, listen,

Respect the feelings and boundaries of artists.
