request etiquette, chapter notices, info, etc.
hey gamers, what's up? i realized i have it too deep for this fuckin' show, and i really need an outlet. so here's stuff i wanna lay down:
1. requests
first of all, if i'm not uncomfortable with it, i'll probably do it. i'm fine with sfw and nsfw, and honestly i'm just grateful to get any requests.
2. request template
second of all, i'll probably follow the request template for my other oneshot collection abt jojo's. you say the character (reader insert, that's my forte and the only shit i write), the situation, and if you want it to be themed after a song, say it. tell me if it's sfw or nsfw.
3. kinkshaming
i like to joke that i don't like to kinkshame but i will make fun of you, and that's only partially true. i will make fun of you, but like, we're all here to do weird shit, right? i have read enough fic to be desensitized to a LOT of things, and this is self-indulgent. apparently people don't like reader insert, but since you guys are here to insert yourselves, self-indulgence is par for the course. if i know how to write it, i will. if it's not ooc, i'll try my best.
4. gender
i am not a statistician. i was like one mental breakdown away from failing chemistry. but i'm pretty sure the majority of fanfic writers and readers are women, gay guys, or somewhere in between. i'm willing to accommodate any request, and i believe in trans rights wholeheartedly. because i want to go for realism (i know this is naruto fanfiction, but i'm 100% serious), i want to do my research. i am a feminist, but i consider naruto a piece from the perspective of a creator writing for a demographic that would not initially be attracted to feminism, and throughout several powerful women (not just in combat) proves that although he may not understand the exact perspective of a woman, he tries his best to represent them. i write not just out of passion but also strongly out of spite, and before i unironically got into this magnificent show, someone i hold in very low regards told me she didn't believe it was a feminist work. now i know that she has no goddamn clue what she's talking about. even if ino's sole motivation was gaining sasuke's affections, i will treat her character as more than that. because i am better than this person i will not name.
5. general mind-your-business philosophy
this is inspired by a fall out boy song. i write on a fanfiction website as a hobby. once in middle school i talked to a girl solely through notes in each other's lockers and when the opportunity arose to actually talk to her offline i hid behind a chair. she could see me. she moved to florida and i haven't spoken to her since. i'm not gonna judge you. you don't have to apologize for requests. i love each and every one of you who chooses to read this, and if i make a joke, it's because i see myself as a bisexual cross between don rickles and john mulaney with a crippling addiction to adderall. don't be assholes in my comment section, and don't be assholes to each other.
tl;dr don't like don't read.
