I Don't Know How To Make This Much Clearer: The Point Of Public Reviews Has To Do With Evaluating Goods

I don't know how to make this much clearer: the point of public reviews has to do with evaluating goods and services. It is answering the question: hey, I exchanged my money for this good/servics, do I feel like it was a fair deal? Was the product worth my hard end money? Did it deliver on its promises?

Fanfic does not involve the exchange of money for goods. They are gifts. Gifts as in for free. You gave nothing, and got a piece of art, for free. You do not have the footing to give people unsolicited opinions on their fics any more than you would any other part of their personhood, because you did not pay for it.

'But how will I know if a fic is worth it?'

Worth what? This fic is free.

'But what if it's not worth my time?'

That's easy, if you don't like it, stop reading, you god damn moron.

'But I just feel really strongly about this fic and want to document my experiences UwU '

cool. call your mom about it. write in your diary. make a private excel spreadsheet. otherwise fuckofffuckoff fuck OFF.

'But what about literary criticism and analysis, isn't that an important intellectual pursuit?'

Are you a literary scholar? Is this a lit class? No? Then fuck off.

'But what about my free speech? You can't make me!'

No I can't. You're a shitstain though.

After the full moon landed on the 23th, all of them stayed with Remus on Christmas Eve and they spent that night all cuddled up while Remus read to them.

Remus Lupin, a quiet visual arts student, had always preferred solitude and sketchbooks over social gatherings.

However, during an end of semester performance showcase, he found himself in a darkened theater, his eyes glued to the stage as Sirius Black, the star of the performing arts program, took center stage, commanding attention with effortless grace and raw, genuine expressions.

The performance left Remus breathless as he realized that art could live and breathe, just as Sirius did on stage.

Remus had always appreciated beauty in art, but this moment made him see it in a whole new way

does anyone know wtf word-stream.com is or where to send them a takedown request? i just found a bunch of fics, including my own, hosted on this AI slop site—apparently offering what I assume are AI-generated audiobook versions & (equally AI-generated) ratings and reviews. i can’t take a closer look without signing up, which, no thank you, but it looks like they’re hosting the full fics and are peddling a paid subscription for the trouble of hosting them. can someone more knowledgeable than me explain what our options are in this situation?

Possibly an unpopular take, but is it really necessary to recommend the same super popular fics over and over? They're already popular. Anyone can find them. They're the first thing that pop up when you filter by kudos. Looking at the never-changing suggestions, it feels as though if 98% fics in this fandom ceased to exist, nothing would change, which seems like a terrible shame. There are so many amazing works that deserve to be read and discussed! Not just the big 6.
