Stop creating rec lists with no author information

Stop reblogging rec lists with no author information

Fanfiction doesn’t get written in a fucking void. An author spent days or weeks or months or literally fucking years slaving over those words. They deserve the fucking credit publicly when someone talks about their fic. I don’t give a shit if the information is there when someone clicks through to the fic. If you’re writing a rec list show enough fucking respect for the time the author put in to include their fucking name. If you don’t have time to add their names you don’t have time to write a rec list.

STOP EXCLUDING AUTHOR NAMES WHEN YOU WRITE REC LISTS. STOP SUPPORTING THIS STUPID-ASS PRACTICE BY REBLOGGING REC LISTS THAT DON’T LIST THE AUTHOR.

Look, if you agree with this, please reblog to signal boost. It took concerted effort from artists over the course of years to make any impact on the practice of reblogging unsourced artwork. It’s time for authors to do this same. This practice is ridiculous and has to stop.
