Don’t Add Fanfiction To Your Goodreads Shelf

Hi folks, I know some of you like to use Goodreads to track all your reading and don’t want to distinguish between books and fanfiction.

I am, however, begging you not to do this. It is extremely jarring and disconcerting to be a fic author and find your works somewhere in the wild where you did not personally put them. Fics are not books, are not published in the same way as books, and exist in a precarious legal space.

Please don’t attempt to elide the separation that exists between fandom and the world of official publishing.

Well this is much nicer than how I said it 🤣

update to add:

if you are a fic author and you find your fic on Goodreads, you can get it removed!

Here’s how:

I hope this helps some of my fellow fic authors!

hey guys please reblog this version

I’ve seen multiple people reblogging the original post with tags saying how they have struggled to get their fics taken down off Goodreads & I want folks to know that it IS possible

i can't believe i'm only just now thinking of this, but what if dain lied about not being willing to save violet at threshing bc he didn't want to admit to xaden — his wingleader — about any possibility of him ever breaking the codex? especially not where violet's involved. and especially when he had just been accusing xaden of the very same thing

xaden had his shield up through the whole convo so he wasn't reading him, and he not only expected dain's answer but wanted it, so he wouldn't have thought to question it. but unfortunately for dain, violet believed it too

it also explains dain's attempt at damage control later on, cause he tells violet "You have to know that I would do anything to save you, Violet, to keep you safe" but vi doesn't really give him a chance to finish

learning to love yourself can be difficult. Sometimes you have to learn to be neutral toward yourself first

Bodhi: I sleep with a dagger under my pillow.

Garrick: Weak. I sleep with two swords under mine.

Xaden: You are both pathetic.

Garrick, sarcastically: What killer weapon do you sleep with, Xaden?

Xaden: Violet.

If "my house, my chair, my women" doesnt become "my kingdom, my throne, my queen" I might riot

I don't know what makes me want to cry more, that Andarna waited 650 years for Violet, or that she makes her scales black cause she wants to be like Tairn

There's a scene in Pride and Prejudice that I'm relieved rarely makes it to adaptation because my secondhand embarrassment can't take it – it's where Elizabeth is staying at Netherfield to look after Jane and Mr Darcy randomly asks if she wants to dance a reel, but she doesn't reply so he asks again, and she's just like "no I heard you the first time, I just thought you were taking the piss" 💀
