Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened every day and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breath in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

Day 1: MinaxSaku💕
Okay, imma explain myself. Out of curiosity, what if and I say WHAT IF–Sakura would go back in time and meet Minato? I just thought–oh! That’ll be great because i feel like they could be good friends BUT WAIT! I looked it up, searched some fanfictions and saw them paired up and thought huh, this is weird but let’s give it a try and then BOOM!!! I was blown away by the amount of chemistry that they have in that one fanfiction (Start at the Beginning to Get to the End by FireThatFox) Amazing work Love it so much😭❤ and that’s how my addiction to this pairing started but I was too shy to draw some and THEN I saw a post by @multisakumonth2k in which encouraged me to draw my very first MinaSaku pair AAAAACK!!!💖 This fanart is inspired from that wonderful fanfiction wherein Sakura was back from time traveling and Minato sensed her the minute he entered the Konoha gates, rushed to her and watches her sleeping. Of course our Sakura slapped the daylights out of him. Read it! The fanfics fun, angsty and spicy😉. Maybe confusing at first but read it ‘til the end I promise it’s good.

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium
Oh dear.
Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.
Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number–deleted the fandom specific elements–, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)
BUT
Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don’t steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people’s fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it’s too late–before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.
Disrepectfully,

(i can’t believe I have to say this)
Also this is not true. You do in fact have the copyright to the specific writing you did in a fic, because that’s not how copyright law works. Like this is not a grey area.
People who write IP content for corporations give up their copyright on a contractual basis–the company wants writing they can sell about characters/settings they own without getting entangled in royalty obligations etc, so they hire people. Who sign contracts saying they don’t own what they write as part of that job.
That’s why you don’t own Star Wars stuff you wrote for Disney; you specifically agreed not to own it.
Writing for IP you don’t own leaves you in a position where you can’t legally monetize it (without taking out the Owned parts ad rebranding), but it absolutely does not automatically cede or void copyright. That is super not a thing.
SUPER not a thing, I cannot say this enough.
I can’t sell my Batman fic, but neither can DC Comics without my duly authorized consent. Because they own Batman, but not the prose I composed about him.
Do not perform that kind of massive corporate overreach for them. Holy shit. Do they not own enough.
It’s fascinating that this misconception of copyright still exists. Haven’t we all seen the posts on here where authors beg fans to please not send them fanfic of their works? They’re not doing that because they feel like it, they do that because fans legally own their words and ideas, and an author who takes them even unintentionally can in fact end up in real legal trouble for taking something that’s not theirs. It doesn’t matter whether they own the canon.
This.
Copyright is the most basic of protections for all writers. If there’s anything professional/career writers want spread around, it’s the knowledge that all writers have the same protections that copyright confers on us.
Astonishing indeed that anon would attempt to upbraid somebody on copyright issues when, themselves, they understand them so poorly.
Anonymous left a question.
