What’s it called when you’re writing a fic that’s kinda sorta canon verse but not? Like, (and no, this isn’t what I’m doing) if Dean were still a hunter but Sam was a weremoose and Charlie was a witch? Is that canon divergent or is there a specific category for that? 

Sam: So there’s multiple universes out there. Amazing.
Dean: There must be billions, trillions even
Sam: Yeah! And in each one something is different.
Dean: One where we aren’t hunters
Sam: One where I drive a motorcycle
Dean: A world where you’re the short one
Sam: A world where you’re fucking Cas
Dean: …
Jack: Actually that’s most worlds… including this one.

[Caption: A realistic digital painting of Will Smith circa 1991. Portrait is from the waist up. Will is standing with one hand in his pocket. He’s wearing a dark gray suit jacket with a silvery sheen over a black-and-white tropical leaf patterned button down shirt. Some of the leaf patterns are glowing yellow and red as if lit from within. His hair is styled in a high top fade, and he’s gazing at us with a soft smile. The background is a gradient from soft yellow to deep rose with a border of jagged yellow loops.]

Taika is wearing a white denim jacket with a popped collar and silver snap buttons over a blue and white striped shirt. His curly silver hair is cut short. The background replicates Prado’s Mona Lisa with a view of soft golden and purple mountains receding in the distance.]

There’s a good reason why I support a fan fiction writer’s right to depict abuse in their fics while also criticizing shit like “Twilight” and “50 Shades of Grey.”

The thing is, not only is fan fiction for a much more niche audience, but when fic writers portray abuse in their stories then chances are they’re gonna tag it as “abuse.” A reader will see the tag and know “OK, this isn’t going to be healthy relationship behavior. Gotcha.” But popular mainstream publications like Twilight and 50 Shades have no warnings or disclaimers saying “This is not healthy relationship behavior, it’s abuse.” As a matter of fact, they’re passed off as ideal portrayals of relationships and BDSM to a much wider audience than your average whump fic could ever hope to reach.

So when it comes to fiction, it’s not hypocritical to point out problems in mainstream fare while ignoring some properly-tagged fic on Ao3 that was likely written by someone who was working through some shit with a healthy outlet. Context matters with these things.

I never thought I would be in such a desperate situation, but here I am. My boyfriend and I desperately need to move out. After many distressing events over the last two months, we’ve moved back in with my parents, but this can only be a part-time fix. We’re hoping to move out for February, but we need your help to make this a reality. Our work situation has been less than ideal due to everything that’s happened, which is why our financial situation is so precarious. Anything helps. If everyone could donate even 1$, it would make a huge difference.

If you can’t donate, please reblog and share this post.

Thank you,
Abby

Please help, we are desperate. Anything helps; 1$, 50$, even a reblog if you can’t afford to donate
