call me maybe @peroquizas.bsky.social · 06/10/2025In my experience, there are plenty of hot pot options that honestly you can just eat hotpot too and I think it's only a couple of dollars more (not more than $10) to be forced to get the hot pot/bbq combo as the entire table has to pay for all options. And the ginseng hot pot broth is the best one. 210

call me maybe @peroquizas.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Genuine question, do you believe all fanfic is the same as your comparisons? I wonder if this is a case of different fandoms having different standards. I have never been in a fandom where the authors sought mass attention; maybe it's more about the kind of fic one writes than the community norms. 110
call me maybe @peroquizas.bsky.social · 29/04/2025I don't think money is important to the process, I think the writing of a commercial piece implies money is being sought therefore is a welcome result of publicity. Making something for 20 friends/freaks ≠ wanting a big audience not aligned to fanfic culture - it's the assumption authors want that. 120
call me maybe @peroquizas.bsky.social · 29/04/2025My standard is it's really sad when authors delete all their work because they got way more attention than they bargained for for something they might have done differently if they knew. I don't think choosing to be part of a gift economy means you chose to be elevated to national media spotlight. 🤷🏻♀️ 110
call me maybe @peroquizas.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Also implies whatever fannish content is being created doesn't transgress any cultural norms for targeted harassment. In a world of fans deleting all their works, mental health struggles - there's no monetary exchange to soothe the public exposure if it goes sour. Archive lock = good for the soul. 110
