You can not like what I’m saying, or straight up ignore it, that’s your prerogative of course. But don’t shoot the messenger here. I want to avoid people getting in trouble. And if I see someone I like and respect heading that direction, I feel like staying silent would be doing them a disservice.

Im not talking about fan art, just fic because that’s the medium I work in. I’m not educated on laws regarding fan art. I just know what I know because of the work I do, and am actually trying to help people *avoid* getting into trouble. I don’t want any writers to get in trouble, ever.

Based on current case law, there is. Fanfic’s legality is due to the interpretation of the “fair use doctrine” and how well it fits under it (17 U.S.C § 107). Making $ with characters you don’t own, even if the plot is original, has already been determined to be not fair use in Salinger v. Colting

I would still strongly discourage it. Even though Viv may be lax, other folks like Amazon (for Hazbin stuff) are not. The last thing we fan writers need is a legal precedent that threatens our already-on-thin-ice-legally art form.
It may seem harmless, but fic comms endangers all of u

Hey, not sure if you’re aware, but writing fic for $ is pretty illegal and puts the whole art form and all writers in danger. It’s not like fanart where there’s wiggle room. I hate to be the bearer of this news as I respect you, but I just want to let you know for your own security going forwards.

Make sure you get a sleep study done and get assessed for sleep apnea! It’s chronically under diagnosed and has long-lasting health implications!
