There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
YES
so yes
yes yes yes yes
Some of my favorite stories are G-rated.
As somone who is REALLY bad at writing sex scenes, I hope not.
I have a love/hate thing going on with my art

I take for granted that some things should go without saying because I’m Fandom Old and some people haven’t seen the things I have. So for those who are unfamiliar with this stance-
If you don’t like something, don’t read it.
Don’t comment. Don’t contact the author. Don’t harass them. Don’t dox them.
Just. Stop. Reading.
Put it away. Don’t come back. Don’t think about it again. If it’s really bothering you, inform them that they need to tag that kind of material. That’s what the tagging system is for.
And especially, I can’t believe I’m saying this- especially do not attempt to report them to the copyright holder. At best, it’s a waste of time.
At worst?
IP holders have a really tenuous relationship with their fandom. I can guarantee you that they are aware of what a headcanon is and I assure you that they are aware of some of the worst. They try their best to ignore the worst ones. It is, in general, not worth it to laser-focus in on a single private person’s non-profit projects in relation to your brand.
But let’s say you get what you want- you alert the copyright holders of the offending person and you get their work scrubbed from the Internet. You won!
You have not only opened a can of worms, but you have crashed into the front window of a tackle shop.
There is now precedent for the IP holder to investigate further. And please understand that the author of a series is not always the IP holder. Sometimes its the production company that has the final word on what is libel and you may not agree with the production company. So your fluffy queer coffee shop AU may in fact be in danger as well.
I know it sounds far-fetched, but I’m telling you that every generation of fandom has a story about their favorite author filing a C&D and threatening to sue twelve-year-olds for copyright infringement, or a corporation deciding that they didn’t like certain content.
Do not give them that inch. I don’t care how awful the headcanon is. It is not worth it.
If a fanwork upsets you, then find one that does not upset you and put all your energy into supporting the one that you like. And speaking from a realm of experience- a writer is so much more likely to quit writing if they receive no encouragement. Filing a C&D will only fill them with spite, and they will continue writing if for no other reason than to piss you off.
Win-win: support an artist you like and avoid a spite-write.
Please don’t take us back to the 90′s and early 00′s. Those were dark days.
Glad we had this talk.

Henchwenchesforhire Auction #1
Type of fanwork: fanfiction
Subtype(s): N/A
Fandom(s): Batman and Related DC Comics
Highest rating creator will work with: E (explicit)
Length: Less than 5K words
Especially interested in: We (RisqueSno and Gladrial) focus specifically on deeply in character, yet still very much romance shipping, Joker and Harley Quinn. We meld the comics and animated series portrayals (and various others these days) to bring the best representation of the clowns as possible! Look over our various JHQ pieces on AO3 to get the idea. We are open to including or emphasizing any of their ship tropes, including the ddlg angles, manipulation, and casual domestic abuse. Will perhaps accept extremely vague reference to Harley/Ivy, but only in passing. References to canon relationships such as BatCat or whoever is hooking up these days is okay, but again only in passing or as a cameo if you really want it. If you want a comedy situation with smut, we will do that. Smut with comedy? Straight drama? Any genre you want is fine, as long as we can make it work with the characters appropriately. We love writing the Gotham Rogues Gallery too, so if you want any of them to appear that’s a-okay!
Unwilling to address: No other pairings outside of Joker/Harley, please. The Joker/Harley Quinn are absolutely our OTP, but appropriate characterization is paramount to us. We know these characters inside and out. If there’s a way to make your “fluffy” idea work organically, we’ll do that, but we don’t write average straight sweetheart fluff for these two. On the other hand, we don’t write rape or gore outside of the clown’s usual canon violence.
Notes: We do NOT work with New 52/bleach skin Harley or straight up Suicide Squad movie interpretations. We can blend whatever aspects from other medium versions, like LetoJoker or LedgerJoker, you want and make it work…within reason. Tattoos, drug use, Arkham times, hobo style, flashy gangster- whatever you want from certain versions we can emphasize in our “distilled perfection” Joker, in a way that doesn’t make us want to personally gauge out our eyes. PLEASE READ AT LEAST SOME OF OUR JHQ FIC BEFORE REQUESTING, we may have already written something close to what you want and we can better help you see your vision come to life if you get what we work with!Minimum Bid: $5
