Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesnāt matter if itās tagged as a ship you dislike or youāre 10 chapters in, if you donāt like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.
Rule 2, Properly Tag
If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, donāt tag Stony.
Rule 3, Filters are your friend
If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.
Rule 4, Donāt harass people for shipping your NoTp
We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Donāt harass people over shipping your NoTp.
Rule 5, Do your research
If youāre writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced youāre not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor
Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and thatās okay
Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, thatās okay! We all have different and varying tastes!
Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating
Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?
Rule 8, If you want it, write it
Itās bound to happen to everyone, you just canāt find a specific fic for a specific ship or itās that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe itās just a pure crackfic, but thatās okay!
Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon
Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, thatās okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!
Rule 10, Fiction is not reality
And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.
If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!
So Iāve been working on this idea for a couple of months, and I just started writing it a few days ago. Without giving away too much, itās something of a Spicyhoney Soulmate and escort AU. Although anti-soulmate AU is probably a better description for it. Iāve taken the classical portrayal of the Soulmate AU and turned it on its head a bit. Overall, itās fairly lighthearted, but a few trickles of angst will likely sneak their way in, as they always do.
Itās not particularly long, but itās a pretty big project, as it involves a lot of worldbuilding (and a lot of smut). AndāIāve actually been having a ton of fun with it. There will be some side-ships involved, but the main focus is Spicyhoney, because hey, itās me.
As for when I intend to start postingāI would like to finish The Bonechelor over on my main first (oh god itās been months Iām so sorry). One chapter to go! Pray for me. I also have a few chapters left of Argent Night, but Iāll probably be working on that simultaneously to this.
I hope itās something you all enjoy. ^_^ Iām looking forward to getting into it.
An update for whatās to come on my writing blog! (And this blog).

This was requested by @blue-means-stop, who built an amazing world around the simple concept of office chair sex. I loved it. Thank you, Blue! I had fun working on this.
Part 2 of Ownership (Please note that part 1 contains rape and domestic abuse).
I dedicate this to @hj-skbā, who guilted inspired me to write this with their gorgeousart. Rus really deserves a happy ending.
_____________________________________________
Summary:Ā
Leaving an abuser is hard. Healing from their abuse is even harder. Edge will be the glue Rus needs to hold himself together for as long as he needs to be.

Please noteāat this time, I cannot tag for the fic on the whole, as it isnāt completed yet. If youāre concerned, then please DM me with specific questions or wait until Halloween, when this fic will be posted in its entirety on AO3 with all relevant tags. Until then, I can say thisā
This fic contains references toĀ BODY DYSMORPHIA, PREGNANCY TREATED AS HORROR, SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE EMOTIONS RELATED TO PREGNANCY AND HAVING CHILDREN, RELATIONSHIP TROUBLES, and DISCUSSION OF ABORTION AND/OR MISCARRIAGEĀ (not played for angst).
