“Author of 25+ best-selling Pride & Prejudice variations”
Yeah, no.
Okay, so I was in Jane Austen fandom for a while. It is extremely common for people to self-publish their fics and sell them because it’s public domain and totally fine legally. There’s even a handful of extremely niche publishers who handle it.
I never interacted with this woman (because she was mostly on the publishing side and not the posting-on-forums-or-AO3 side where I was) but I knew of her. She was infamous. I’m honestly surprised she’s only saying she’s written 25+ because at one point she was producing 8+ a year. Nobody really understood it. Even if you’re producing crap, it still takes time to get that many words down.
This was back in 2018 or so. I’m shocked she’s not at 250+ by now.
My question is how does this make any money even at volume.
cant even fault those bailey school kids for this one if i saw that dude i wouldg just go Thats Fuckin Dracula man
Sometimes I feel we do a disservice to trans people by framing their journey as some esoteric battle to escape their gender assigned at birth, rather than a very profound story of self-love and self-actualization. Many people feel they can’t relate to the desire to “become another gender” and thus don’t really “get” transgenderism.. but almost everyone can relate to the thrill and fulfillment of letting yourself be true.
