But Fanfiction Writers CANNOT Do This. Point Blank PERIOD!

I think the thing that worries me so much about this tumblr plus bullshit isn’t the fact that creators can put their stuff behind a pay wall - for everyday regular bloggers that’s fine! Do what you want I guess.

But fanfiction writers CANNOT do this. Point blank PERIOD!

And some might say “oh but Aeryn it’s a choice! You don’t have to do it!” And, yes I KNOW this. I know it’s a choice. But younger fanfic creators out there may not be aware of the absolute shit show that went down several years ago where people SUED fanfiction writers over their work. And that is dangerous for many reasons.

These companies that own the characters we love do. Not. Care. About us. They will sue us the second some fanfic creator unwittingly uses this paywall to gain money from their fanfiction works. That is illegal. You CANNOT do that. You cannot gain money from fanfiction Bc technically it isn’t yours. The characters and the worlds are not ours and if just one of us gets caught doing it tumblr will get sued and we all know they don’t have the money to fight them and tumblr will go poof.

This post isn’t meant to be rude or demeaning or condescending. I am just genuinely so so worried about this because if it takes off, tumblr as a fandom space is as good as gone. And as much as I call this place a “hell site” I do love it. I love the community I’ve built here and the friends I’ve made and I don’t want to lose it because of the IDIOTS at yahoo want more money.

*sigh* so - please complain to tumblr about this and hope to god it doesn’t actually happen. For all fanfic writers sake.

Hi. This message is sent to you because you were amongst the people who engaged in a previous post I made about Ben.

Here

https://dont-stop-breathingg.tumblr.com/post/676003277036486656/unfortunately-everything-is-not-okay-with-ben

Ben's family got him, ended his campaign and did a refund back to app donors. They took to a corrective rehabilitation with a total shut out to the outside world. Ben has escaped again, he's in a hideout). We quickly need to get Ben out of that country. He reached out to me and we decided to ask for help privately this time.

Please consider donating whatever using this PayPal

https://www.paypal.me/benben606

The PayPal is created by Ben's trusted aid, who I have frequent communication with to make sure I get Ben to my country. Thank you

Please donate if you're able to!

For those who aren't already aware, Ben is a 21 year old transgender, atheist woman living in a country where it's a huge sin to be homosexual or transgender, the sentence for such is 14 years of imprisonment if caught or reported with evidence, she's in desperate need of our help so it would be amazing if you could help donate if you can!
