Rules Of A Happy, Healthy Fandom

Rules of a Happy, Healthy Fandom

Rule 1, Don’t like, Don’t read

Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s tagged as a ship you dislike or you’re 10 chapters in, if you don’t like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.

Rule 2, Properly Tag

If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, don’t tag Stony.

Rule 3, Filters are your friend

If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.

Rule 4, Don’t harass people for shipping your NoTp

We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Don’t harass people over shipping your NoTp.

Rule 5, Do your research

If you’re writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced you’re not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor

Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay

Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, that’s okay! We all have different and varying tastes!

Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating

Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?

Rule 8, If you want it, write it

It’s bound to happen to everyone, you just can’t find a specific fic for a specific ship or it’s that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe it’s just a pure crackfic, but that’s okay!

Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon

Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, that’s okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!

Rule 10, Fiction is not reality

And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.

If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!

people with bad taste are always like “yurr hurr The Beach is about zuko and mai and how they’re a great couple” while intellectuals know that Actually The Beach is about mining any and all of the untapped friendship potential of this striking exchange

BTS fantasy headcanons 3/7

Seok(Jin)

Ok. Cooking is FANTASTIC

The best at domestic care

Also like a nurse..super caring and sweet

The duality though...he’ll be so sweet and caring but then…

Piss him off (break a pot or some precious cooking utensil) and boi he’ll curse your mouth with chilli peppers

Jin is famed for his superb meals but DID YOU KNOW Jin is AMAZING at baking

Desserts are mouthwatering…

Ice cream… not so much (the maknaes are pros at eating it before it’s done so…)

Is a kitchen witch

Is half vampire, don’t worry he won’t bite you lol

He just inherited those amazingly, frustratingly good looks and pale skin

Soft for the maknaes

Probably the only person in BTS coven or in the whole universe who will dare to yell at Yoongi

Super homely

The third member to join BTS coven

Was recruited by Joon

“Joon what’s this”, “Hyung this is Jin, he’s going to be part of our coven...also he’s not a ‘this’!” *major sighs from Yoongs*

But we all know he loves Jin ..even if it’s in his own cat way

Ok but Jin? Purple hair? Say no more. (Hobi will take care of it)

Jin is pretty chill about the whole hair changing thing

Kinda looks forward to the surprises so long as hobi doesn’t make it purple and yellow spots.

Room-mates with Yoongi when they were too broke to afford individual rooms

Somehow still found in Yoongi’s room all the time….

Cuddles! Loves cuddles

Empathy powers

Literally knows what’s up with EVERYONE in the coven

Don’t keep secrets from this one, he’ll know

Can manipulate emotions 

“Jin DoNt yOu DaRe MaKe Me LaUgH aT YoUr RiDicUlOuS JoKeS”

Also uses his power to figure out if his members (not to hint at a certain kookie) have done their LAUNDRY

Also super nice and super wise

Give super good advice, also capable of infusing food with positive emotions which helps to comfort his coven members, especially after an argument or when there’s tension in the air

how sad it is, to one day realise, you have become distant. like the tide ebbing away, all that you loved has been taken into the depths of the sea.

Random and important (not really)

Have you ever stopped and thought about the word “try”? Like on one hand trying is a way to encourage someone (”at least you tried”) and on another it can be like...”you tried...but you failed” the one word that makes one feel so high but also so low...
