❛ 𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 ❜

Waiting for the users who participated loudly on the HP witch hunts and bullied people for it on THAT server to publicly apologize is a hopeless case at this point, when they decide to delete it and brush it under the rug like nothing happened, as if they didn’t ruined someone’s excitement of publishing a fic here on the app or limited someone’s creativity. BUT, oh well…
          
          Remember: Don’t like, don’t read. DON’T BULLY PEOPLE. 
          
          We’re all participating in billion-dollar TV corporations that are problematic because all franchises/fandoms have their own issues. So better remove that ‘i’m better than anyone’ attitude…because you’re not.

Reminders to translators! Please read the fanfic you want to translate first before telling us that, “love your writing and I’m sure many __ would read it too,” because you never even voted or commented before, so how would we know that you actually loved it? Because it’s so obvious that most of you are using our fanfics to gain a following and not actually care about the fanfics that we wrote. Lying that you “love it” is actually so rude and disrespectful. 
          
          Also, make it a habit to check the author’s bio or story descriptions before asking in their MB or fic to translate it, because we will not entertain it when we have stated multiple times that we no longer allow translations. 

Gavin Leatherwood as Regulus Black FC, cause I am not going near Timothee Chalamet. Do we see my vision? PLEASE

Brian Lamar is back with a new account. That man has been harassing users since 2020 to write his fanfiction ideas, which are mostly Jacob Black pairings. The best solution to this is to block him, because he will either become a sad boy or become aggressively manly and throw temper tantrums if you deny him. 
          
          To Brian, if you are ever reading this. Stop it. Touch grass. Get some therapy. You’re scaring users on this app since 2020 or even longer. Write the fic you’ve been harassing users to write on your own for christ’s sake. Here are the other users of Brian that I blocked:

robin buckley x male!oc fic is crazy work forever disappointed with fic writers on this app that continues to erase LGBTQ and even POC characters when it’s a huge part of their story. Even on this app, the characters that we relate to are still being marginalized, even in the fictional world. 
          
          If you plan on writing a fic with a canonically lesbian/gay character and they’re purposely written that way, don’t make them bi. If a character isn’t specifically written (straight) to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s okay to make them fruity. But ignorantly erasing that part of their character for your fic? It’s like you’re writing a character that’s completely OOC, better make an OG!character instead.

Ben Radcliffe as Kol Mikaelson. You’re welcome. Credit is also more than welcome. I peaked in this.

Just another reminder, if you have the nerve to complain about the rules/reminders that an author wrote on their fic. Let it be known that you’re reading fanfics for free, and if you have your own preference, go read a published book that you bought with your money, and that’s a valid enough reason for you to complain. 
          
          As I read, “People write fanfic for FREE, which means any obligation to meet any perceived standard is immediately non-existent.” That means a fic is written in the author’s preferences that you, as a reader, should learn to adjust because we’re SHARING this fic to you and we don’t have to, but we did, which is a privilege. 
          
          So if you don’t like the fanfic, go find one that fits your preference, or, better yet, write it yourself. Thank you for reading my rant. 

AI covers truly pains me, so I’m going to lay out some lovely graphic artists out there whose talents I genuinely admire, and they’re not limited to covers only, but to different types of graphics you could use for your stories. Now, I don’t know if their shops are still open or if they still have theirs up, but I would love for all of you to check out their work when you have the time and show them all the love they deserve! Check my reading list too!

          Fair warning! They’re all very human, so treat them with respect and kindness! Also, yes, take two because I messed up their usernames in the first announcement, LOL.

Have any of my readers watched “The Business Proposal” and “My ID is Gangnam Beauty”? 
          
          I lowkey want to make a Cha Sung-Hoon and Do Kyung-Seok short fanfics cause there are barely any here, hehe

Enchanted and SIAS readers! 
          
          Both books will/be on hold until further announcement since I lost motivation for those fics, which aren’t really a priority for me to write at the moment. 
          
          Enchanted is almost finished, with Act 4 left to write. It is estimated to have 10 chapters max + an epilogue. I’ll be writing that on my own, and I think it will be back up by the summer of next year. So, Enchanted’s chapters will be unpublished, leaving only the introduction chapter because ghost readers are a pain. 
          
          SIAS Acts 1 and 2 are already pre-written, but I would prefer for me to finish the fic. It has a total of 8 Acts, from Year 1 to Year 7 + post-Hogwarts, with 10 chapters max only, since I don’t want to make the fic too long. It’ll be a long process for me to write, and readers barely leave any votes or comments there, so I’ll be writing it on my own without updating. Plus, HP witch hunters are still out there and I would like to write this fic without any disturbance from them.
          
          That’s it. I hope you all understand my decision. Any violent reactions will be deleted. 
          
          Xoxo,
          Mystic <3
