But why do you care that much if your stories are posted with your name on?

theweasleysredhair:

whether my fics are reposted with credit or without, the fact remains i did not give consent. i post my work on here knowing that the public can see it, but i also know i can take it down, delete it, edit it however i like.

on another platform, if my work is taken and posted, i have no control. i can’t decide how long it stays there, i can’t delete it and i can’t edit it.

placing a name at the top of my work doesn’t guarantee that people will see it. in academic writing, in order to correctly source and credit someone, the reader must be able to track down the exact source easily using the information provided. simply writing “theweasleysredhair” does not specify which platform i originally posted on, does not really identify anything, and further, i would place my bets that people reading my work ignore this ‘credit’ completely.

bottom line is, if i wanted my work on another platform, it’d be posted on there by me.

i hope that helps a lil nonnie ☺️x
