Fanficrants is on dreamwidth

[community profile] fanficrants is a comm to rant and vent about everything having to do with fan fiction. The rants are often petty, offensive and over-generalizing, the comments are often comedy gold. Sometimes there is glorious wank.

On livejournal, fanficrants is one of the most progressive comms I know, and a place I go to relax and get cheered up when the rest of the internet is being assbutts. Yes, there's fail. But for every *ism wank storm, there's also a grammar wank storm, or a True Definition of a Drabble wank storm.

Often there's friendly bonding and commiserating over annoying tropes, discontinued WIPs we love, and things like that. And there's lots of canon and character love, sometimes with good recs.

The comm is very kink friendly, and nothing will get you jumped on quicker than shaming someone for their kink.

The comm has a lot of active, engaged members working to make it a good, fun, inclusive place to be, and on top of that also has active, engaged mods who make good calls and write awesome smack downs when needed.

Same here.

I even posted after the locking that I was going to laugh and laugh and laugh if kicking the under-18s out of fanficrants is what it takes for the fandom comms on DW to come alive, because of people coming over here to rant.

Kick the authors out? Individuals leave.

Kick content out? Individuals leave.

Kick minors from fanficrants? An entire community seeks invite codes and starts checking their DW Reading Lists.
