Replying to @Tiff 🫶🏾📚 *TIMESTAMPS & FURTHER RESOURCES BELOW* This morning, Onyx_and_Elm announced the following: “Due to the seemingly unstoppable monetization of fandom and the sheer volume of illegal fan bindings being sold, I will be pulling all my works within the next few days.” I know this isn’t how I normally come across in my content, but I’m angry and frustrated and won’t apologise for that. While I’d much prefer that you watch this video in its entirety, because it is long, here are the timestamps if you need to jump around: 

0:00 — Repost explanation 0:19 — Onyx_and_Elm’s announcement to leave Dramione fandom & pull all fics from AO3 0:55 — What to do if you want a bound copy of any fanfic 1:04 — The importance of respecting each author’s book-binding policies 1:27 — Fanfic is DIGITAL. Get over yourself if you think you’re entitled to anything else 1:45 — Despite trying to consistently educate on fanfic etiquette, things feel pretty dire right now 2:00 — SenLinYu publishing deal was motivated by the ability to go after illegal selling of Manacled 2:21 — Just yesterday, I was tagged in an unboxing video featuring a purchased copy of Manacled *FURTHER RESOURCES*
