I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing

I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing was an anonymous submission to Tumblr blog Fandom Problems, expressing the sentiment that people with original characters (OCs) who did not treat their OCs well should "lose rights over them". 
The submission was notable because it received significantly more responses and reactions than most other submissions to the blog did, largely because it breached containment and was being linked to and discussed on other social media platforms. Most submissions to the blog typically received between 300 - 3000 notes, while this post has received 160,000+ notes as of August 2024.
There have been 800+ replies and 82,000+ reblogs on the post, with a large amount of discussion about the post. In addition, many people were prompted to submit their own anonymous submissions to Fandom Problems asking questions of the anonymous user who submitted the ask. 
==Discussions==
The vast majority of responses and discussions around the submission were in opposition to the anonymous submitter's perspective. Some responses were around the topic of some fans treating fictional characters as if they were like real people:
While some responses wondered whether the person who submitted the ask might be trolling the blog, others replied with their own examples of people making demands about how OCs and canon characters be "treated" in fanworks or other fan activities. Many of these included screenshots from Tumblr, AO3, and other platforms. This also led to further discussions about fan entitlement in fandom spaces:
Others made fun of the ask in a variety of ways, including suggesting various ways their own original characters might be taken from them since there was no feasible way an OC could be "taken away" from the person who made it:
There were some posts which discussed perspectives that the anon might be coming from, even if they ultimately also did not agree with the anon:

I sometimes wonder if my reluctance to fully embrace K/S on the net may just be a sign that I’m turning into an old fogy.

I sometimes wonder if my reluctance to fully embrace K/S on the net may just be a sign that I’m turning into an old fogy.. is a 1998 Star Trek essay by Mary S.
It was printed in The K/S Press #21. 
==Some Topics Discussed==
* printfans vs. netfans
* formulaic ruts, what is "good K/S", does netfic or printfic promote boring fics, do they each make their own constrictions on content and expectations
* perhaps fans on the internet are more discerning and more likely to find fault with stories because they did not have to pay for them
* online fandom is luring fans away from print fandom, and this means print fandom will die; print fans need to do all they can to keep that from happening

I think that it is important for Jacqueline Lichtenberg, as the creator of the series, to hear from those who are KRAITH fans, who enjoy the works, but can still see their faults.

I think that it is important for Jacqueline Lichtenberg, as the creator of the series, to hear from those who are KRAITH fans, who enjoy the works, but can still see their faults. is a 1975 essay by Amy Falkowitz.
It was printed in Mind-Meld v.2 n.7.
==Context: The Kraith Focus in Early Issues of "Mind-Meld"==
 
The topic of Kraith was the focus during the first year's Mind-Meld issues, and that universe's creator, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, was a member and frequent contributor. 
That is, until a flurry of fan responses likely deflated her enthusiasm, and Lichtenberg encouraged fans to move on from emulating Kraith, at least in this fan club and its publication. From her last contribution to "Mind-Meld": "SEV should adopt some NEW ideals, not Kraith Vulcan ideals," thus withdrawing her attention and support.
Some of Lichtenberg's contributions and fan comments in early issues of "Mind-Meld":
* Lichtenberg's comments in v.2 n.1, March 1975 which was a response to the editor's comments in v.1 n.2, October 1974 
* Why a Human Should Not Desire to Become Vulcan by Lichtenberg (dated August 1974, printed April 1975)
* I have been unable to determine whether or not the Council wishes to adopt Lichtenberg's philosophy as pertains to Vulcans as it is. by Carmen Dexter (v.2 n.5, August 1975). Dexter's letter also addressed Lichtenberg's controversial author's preface to Kraith Collected #1
* I think that it is important for Jacqueline Lichtenberg, as the creator of the series, to hear from those who are KRAITH fans, who enjoy the works, but can still see their faults. by Amy Falkowitz (v.2 n.7, October 1975)
* Darkover and Kraith by Amy Falkowitz (v.2 n.7, October 1975)
* I WISH I could figure out some way to make people understand that I do not hold Kraith to be some sort of ultimate truth. by Licthenberg (her final comment) (v.2 n.8, December 1975)
Lichtenberg's last contribution to this newsletter was in December 1975. She, however, remained on the membership roster until at least March 1979.
==Some Topics Discussed in the Essay==
* if you are not a fan of a fanwork, then your criticism of it is invalid 
* discussion of "repression" and "suppression" of emotions, as discussed in I have been unable to determine whether or not the Council wishes to adopt Lichtenberg's philosophy as pertains to Vulcans as it is. 
* one thing wrong with Kraith is that Surak created a culture for Vulcan in isolation, and he did not take into account meeting and interacting with other cultures in the future
* racial memory
* pon farr and its shortcomings
* people should not try to be Vulcans because they aren't
* IDIC is the real goal of the essayist

I want you to want me

I want you to want me is a Steve/Danny story by sirona.
Summary: It's all his damned knee's fault. If it wasn't for his body's betrayal, no one would have found out about the fight club, or about his dad practically leaving them to fend for themselves after their mother's death. And they certainly wouldn't have sent the four of them kids to Hawai'i, to live with their aunt and uncle. Although, Danny has to admit that the class president offers a not-so-small consolation... A.k.a. Danny gets sent to Hawai'i to finish high school, and meets the gang, and kind of falls in love.

I was going to do an editorial on the "pernicious evils" spawned by the K/S relationship stories

I was going to do an editorial on the "pernicious evils" spawned by the K/S relationship stories is a 1979 essay that was imbedded in the editorial for The Oracle Speaks #3, a zine by Theresa Holmes.
For additional context, see Timeline of Slash Meta.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the letter that Bev Clark wrote that Holmes thought "says all this ten times better" -- mainly that male homosexuality was unemotional and brutal, that female relationships were written as "clinging, possessive affection" From Clark's letter, printed in The Oracle Speaks #3 "If you want controversy, I will throw out an idea a friend of mine mentioned to me. She showed some K/S stuff to three friends of hers who happen to be homosexual men, and they had an interesting comment. Do these writers — all women -- know, they said, that they are unconsciously writing lesbian relationship stories? Male homosexual relationships, according to them, are, not characterized by intense emotional attachment, being more physical and often brutal; they said, however, that lesbian relationships, at least among women of their acquaintance were characterized by exactly the sort of clinging, possessive affection displayed in many of the K/S stories, aside from poor writing, they thought the greatest fault of the K/S stories they saw was their lack of realism. (I would also refer people to the last issue of New Times, on decadence, and specifically the article on homosexuality and the homosexual lifestyle; this is quite an eye-opener, folks.)" -- comments by Bev Clark in "The Oracle Speaks" #3 
* the rise and popularity of Kirk/Spock zines that where James T. Kirk and Spock were sexually or romantically intimate with each other 
* Holmes' displeasure over reviewing the zine Mahko Root #2 and seeing the Yea, Though I Walk fiction series by Katy Young (published in September 1978)
* Holmes' ironic displeasure at reading the editorial in Mahko Root, one that asked for tolerance, civility, and open minds
* Holmes' reasons for disliking these m/m stories were a laundry list of the standard arguments, as same sex intimacy was: 1) a crime against nature, 2) dangerous to civilization and marriage between men and women, 3) boring and mushy and lacked imagination and "massaged the romantic instinct" much like soap operas, 4) were Mary Sue without any ladies, 5) were formula stories, and these kinds of stories nearly killed not only the original show, but also are a danger to fanfic, 6) she couldn't stop these stories, despite stating her opinions to "various people who write it", and 7) K/S stories aren't "real," and are more like Pepsi than Coke
* good fanfic should "inspire the author and reader alike to stretch their imaginations to the fullest — and then some" -- but not like THAT!

I was thinking about the ghosts of fandoms past

You may be looking for the 2007 essay Ghosts of fandoms past.
I was thinking about the ghosts of fandoms past is a 2015 post by rex/vintar about South Park fandom. 
It has almost 12 thousand notes as of March 2017.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* BNFs and their sometimes unholy power
* South Park fandom during 1998-2001
* Original Characters, Mary Sues and Self-insertion 
* Wank about Shared Universe storylines
==Excerpts==
At that time, FanFiction.net did not allow scriptform fic, although this was erratically enforced. Many fans congregated at fandom-themed archives, rather than fic-based archives. Many fansites had either a forum or "fan submissions" section," or both. Much fanfic and art is still only archived at these places.
Also, original characters have a long and contentious history; the accusation of Mary Sues is common, so it was (and still is) rare to find a place where OCs of all types are welcome and cherished.
This resulted in an impromptu, unplanned shared universe. It managed to bypass the common drama about "who has permission to write in this universe" since it was created by the group, but eventually ran into "which version is the real fanon?"
This led to fanon and OC ship wars, and a need for documentation to keep track of all the timeline AUs. 
However, as is often the case, large-scale conflicts within a fandom caused people to leave the host venue, if not the fandom itself.
There is a great deal more at the original post

I will destroy Ryan Ross and all that he loves: a cautionary tale

I will destroy Ryan Ross and all that he loves: a cautionary tale is a 41-minute multi-voice Bandom podfic by templemarker (as the narrator), anna_unfolding (as Sisky), klb (as Butcher), ohnoktcsk (as Mike), fabu (as Ryan), pennyplainknits (as William), aphelant (as Tom), bessyboo (as Jon), girlpearl (as Spencer), arami (as Brendon) and andeincascade (as Pete). 
The pairings are Ryan Ross/Adam Siska, Ryan Ross/Jon Walker, Adam Siska/William Beckett, Ryan Ross/Pete Wentz, and Adam Siska/Pete Wentz. 
Summary: William Beckett vs Ryan Ross. This is Thunderdome.
This podfic was recorded as a live reading at Bitchin Party and is done in a radio play style. As such, it isn't the same quality as you might expect from a podfic that has had a lot of takes. pennyplainknits edited and adjusted volume for the final version and also left in some of the incidental noise (and giggling!) so you get an idea of the atmosphere.pennyplainknits. I will destroy Ryan Ross and all that he loves, April 30, 2012. (Accessed July 16, 2012)

I will not be afraid of boybands

I will not be afraid of boybands is the popslash fiction website of Jae (aka jae_w and Jaesepha). (She now also archives media fandom fiction and bandom fiction there.) Jae is known for the skill and variety of her stories, and also for her exploration of the Chris/Justin and JC/Justin pairings. 
A few of her notable popslash stories include:
Coldhearted, a multi-part 'N Sync/Backstreet story that is funny, acerbic and occasionally painful, based, as Jae notes, on "...one of fandom's time-honored traditions: sleeping with someone on a bet."
Sleeping Beauty and Remember are sweetly funny JC/Justin stories, with ample appearances by other members of the group. 
The Secret Marriage is a bitterly poignant story about Chris and Justin.
The Earl of Rothinghamtonfordshire is witty and bursting with clever dialogue, focusing on a young Nick Carter.

I wonder if you wonder about me too

I wonder if you wonder about me too is a vid by ldtProductions2 for the Once Upon a Time fandom and for the pairing of Prince Charming and Red aka David and Ruby. 
As of October 29 2013, the video has more than 3,000 views.
==Vidder's note/Summary==
:"you're completely off-limits for more reasons than just one, but I can't stop."
:"'Child of the Moon' gave me all kinds of semi-romantic feels for Red and Charming which is crazy because I only ship Charming with Snow - EVER - but there just seemed like there could have possibly been something there so I had a little fun with this after I found this song that I thought was kind of perfect for what Red might be thinking/feeling."

I would not just leave you without a kiss

I would not just leave you without a kiss is a Steve/Danny story by armillarysphere.
Summary: “I guess they don’t teach them boys to count at Navy school. Look at that – the quarterback is wearing fifty.”
Danny knows that no one is paying attention to him, but he's talking anyway, pointing his hot dog towards the tall, lanky-looking quarterback. He can't make out much more with the pads and helmet, although if he's being objective, this guy’s ass is making Danny’s jeans a little tighter than is appropriate right now.
