Found an interesting, if long winded substack that uses the Ao3 downtime happening at the same time of that HP fic being repurposed as a novel as a starting point to talk about the shift of fandom culture from gift economy to a transactional one
like some 3rd period merchant team in the nhl, my last few reads in october have been really really solid.

i truly think that twitter being the main place that you interact with fandom will inevitably rot your brain and concept of fandom culture regardless of how long you've been in the game
combing cream with white. everyone involved in the material production and distribution will never see the gates of heaven.
First look at the Toronto Maple Leafs Hometown Remix jersey, featuring a unique leaf vein pattern in the logo and numbers. Thoughts?

people who characterize fanfic writers being self-important as a recent phenomenon: are you folks unfamiliar with cassandra claire and laptopgate?
all this discourse bringing up anne rice just reminded me that she's literally the source of the "you're interrogating the text from the wrong perspective" meme, which i still whip out an annoying amount.
fic writers are in a legal gray area and the only reason this entire endeavor hasn't been nipped in the bud are generations of fic writers self-imposing guardrails in order to not provoke owners of ip into litigation. chief among that is monetization.
let's take the example of star wars novelizations: if fic writers are earning money, what's stopping disney from shutting down that entire fandom and giving financial competition from stolen ip as justification? do you think the us courts will side with fic writers here?
