For the love of all that you enjoy: DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION.
Again, but louder:
It’s getting more and more common. I’ve seen three posts about it in the last 24 hours - patreons where you’ll get “exclusive” fanfiction stories if you’re a subscriber.
Don’t.
Don’t do it.
It’s annoying, but mostly it’s fucking dangerous.
The whole fanfiction community prosper on someone else’s turf under “fair use” laws. In simple terms: we can play with other people’s creations for as long as it’s done for our own amusement, and that of our followers.
Once any kind of financial benefits are made, it becomes another abuse of someone else’s rights.
And look, I get it. It sucks, especially seeing the artists take commissions while the authors get nothing, and it takes hours and hours of our time, and I understand people are looking for a side hustle to make ends meet in this monstrosity of a capitalist society, but if we don’t stop it from happening, the rights owners will stop it.
And they’ll stop it for everyone.
It’s not worth it. Don’t do it.

“You still believe there are survivors,” she declared, her words flat as her lips thinned. “The statistical likelihood of survivors is less than–” “I don’t care about statistics, Seven,” Kathryn cut in, shaking her head. “Survivors or not, Starfleet or not, we’re not alone here. It explains the ladder, the door–and this…thing.”

Synopsis:
After Captain Janeway contracts an illness during an expedition to an uninhabited planet and orders USS Voyager to leave her behind, a certain hardheaded Astrometrics officer isn't so keen on abandoning her Captain. As Janeway and Seven learn to navigate the strange new dynamic forming between them, it becomes apparent that the planet they now call home has a much deeper story to tell--one that seems to defy logic, reality, and even the natural order of time itself. ----- This is a standalone fic but can be read as additional worldbuilding to my "For the Optics" series. Timeline runs about a year prior to the events of "A Binding of Stars."
Conversations I've had with my bird in the last 24 hours:
"You cannot eat the power cable."
"I need my arrow key back, please."
"Please stop eating my desk."
"Is there a rule that says you MUST poop on my laptop screen?"
"You need to get down off the ceiling fan."
"I need my shift key back, please."
"Can you please teach your friend that he is capable of flying OUT of the bedroom instead of just flying into it and then screaming when we aren't with him?"
"Please stop serenading the dog."
"It looks like someone exploded a feather pillow in here."
"Please stop sending unintelligible messages to my friends, and I need my enter key back, please."
Oh my god.
Too many humans. Too many dogs. Not enough birds.
IT'S TURKEY EGG SEASON 😊
Nope, not gay at all. Not one bit.

“That vessel is a carcass, Kathryn,” she stated, impressing the Captain’s first name upon her with more force than she had thus far. “It will not fly."

Yay.
Right after I dig the turkey shed out of the snow 😭

Some of my processes for planning out fics...but fear not! I can't follow the multiple timeline things either 🥲
This was supposed to be 75k and it can't even be broken into multiple books 😬
Also fun fact: Google docs has a 1 million character limit so this is just the sequentially organized doc because the other one is starting to lag...oops.
