Bonus of orphan_account stories: it’s pretty unlikely the author will actually delete them.

another question for antis: why are you buying clothes at the soup store?

‘you know, people should be allowed to have squicks!’ okay, go on, I’m listening, but that’s a weird thing to have to say. ‘I mean, some people overreact when you tell them you’re not cool with writing something’. Yeah, sure, there are entitled people everywhere. ‘People have called me an anti!’ As long as you’re not doxxing people. ‘People get really upset when you tell them you’re not willing to write pedophilic content!’ aaaand there goes the mask off moment I was waiting for watching the thread. Gee willickers, I have absolutely no reason why people would be upset by that accusation. No one, not even a fortune teller, could have seen that one coming.
You’re on the Ao3 subreddit. Just slap a ‘no underage’ on the prompt. Or specify which teenagers you’re cool with shipping with each other. Calling it pedophilic is not much better than calling it CSEM, and yeah, I sideeye some of that stuff, but I don’t interact and I most certainly do not tell people to their face you think they’ll commit pedophilic acts through writing.

for those of you who make fun of the idea that all lowercase fiction is an artistic choice, I would like to share the reasons why I did this for a few stories, because I suspect others might be doing it for the same reasons but be unable to articulate why. And yes, I had to do it deliberately, because the word processor I was using kept capitalizing letters so I had to delete the letter and uncapitalize it or undo the autocorrect. For the few fics that I did it for, it was an artistic choice. In my case, the few it made sense for were dreamlike or dissociating, so it communicated a feeling of being unmoored from reality or the usual standards of reality. I can also point to the culprit as to who gave me the idea in the first place: E. E. Cummings, though the ‘common knowledge’ that he never used capital letters might have been a misunderstood exaggeration.
