going on there. SO thank you for writing and making this whole quarantine process a little easier to bear!! (also as someone who is very invested in the Witcher but not so much in video games your wee precious flower crown geralt write-ups have been diverting as fucking hell. Omg) (2/2)
Hey, ace-spec solidarity!
It’s been keeping me sane too, it’s really good to have someplace I can kind of immerse myself that’s not our actual world at the moment. And I really have enjoyed doing the writeups and spent way too much time on them so I’m glad people enjoy them– that was our escape, during quarantine, and I thought it was too good not to share. Sometimes making something into a story makes it better, you know?
It’s really funny that you said that about the smut too because I just got a really ridiculous anon ask I shall paste here because it doesn’t deserve an answer but does deserve to be laughed at. I got a shitty anon a couple of weeks back from someone who super-obviously had never read any of my shit; I’d posted an excerpt of some Geralt and Jaskier together from my, you know, in-progress OT3 epic, right, and this person was like it’s so shitty when women are written out of their own stories and i’m like this is because I put a ship tag on it, I deserve this, but also what a fucking idiot. I almost answered it publicly but then I was like no, I am not rewarding this kind of trolling– but then I felt a little bad. What if I were young and impressionable, y’know? What if I were a beginning writer and someone threw that kind of shit at me? It’s hard to know what to do. Fuck off, idiot anti-slash anon, I’d argue that accusing slash shippers of misogyny by pure uninformed reflex is far, far more misogynistic than any kind of shipping could ever possibly be. Fuck you, pal. And also, this series has like fifty thousand words in it from Yennefer’s POV and you’re a dumb sack of shit who can’t even get being an anti right.
But this new anon, from today, this one takes the cake, and I sort of wonder how that kind of thing works– like, how does this writer find smut writers to harass on Tumblr? This is super, super-obviously not from anyone who’s ever read any of my shit, or any of the things I’ve written about my own sexuality, or they’d know what a wrong tree this was to bark up? But anyway, enjoy this bit of tomfoolery:

Porn/smut of any kind is bad for your mind, health, and soul. For your own sake please consider stopping. I know you have a good heart and can be better than this.
Clearly, anon, you don’t know jack about dick or are egregiously trolling, but like, how did you even find people to send this shit to? It’s sort of entertainingly stupid, but I do worry, again, about some poor impressionable young person who might get an ask like this and be upset by it.
Listen, poor impressionable youths who might be reading this, fictional explorations of sexuality are not sinful, are not innately bad for any part of you, and the only peril here is to the soul of the sort of person who is spending their sole precious life on this planet going around finding fic authors to harass. I would worry about you, anon, but I can’t actually believe you’re serious enough for me to spare any concern for it.
I’m a 40-year-old bi demisexual and I’ve been using fictional sex as an exploration of the human psyche for about 28 years now and I’m here to tell you that it’s great, you should try it sometimes, and if you don’t like it then you shouldn’t do it, and that’s that.
Anyway I’m sort of bad at answering asks on this site and it’s partly because fully a quarter of them tend to be nonsense bullshit like this and then the nonsense bullshit tends to pile up, but if you have sent me a good or interesting or useful ask in the past and I didn’t answer it I do want to say thank you, I surely did read it.
