Please don’t ever pay a subscription to a Patreon to learn how to bookbind. There are so many creators on TikTok, instagram and YouTube who will gladly share it with you for free. As for typesets, a lot of binders also share those openly or simply just ask that you message them

I discovered this about a month ago and decided to sit on it for a bit to not act out rashly. Now that it's been enough time I decided to mention it since it is likely that this has happened to others as well. Hana of the Don't-Copy-Me police, took a tutorial that I gave freely

Note the dates. Just like the recent controversy with a Patreon binder that is stealing typesets and passing them off as their own, Patreon in this community has deviated drastically from its purpose and has become a weird parasocial fanclub with admission charge.

If you+associates had to make multiple public statements and/or apologies and have been the reason fanfic artists/writers have had to change their policies twice in the past year, maybe I'm not the problem. Pointing out toxic behavior does not equal being toxic.

@B__Binding fatedforvictory letthemeatbooks @Hana_bob_ Whenever someone mentions that you don't need to pay to learn fanbinding, Patreon sends out a distress call and all the same suspects come running to argue... whatever this is.

Don't get lost in the weeds, people. This isn't about them endangering fandom (that was every other time) this was just about hypocrisy, ethics, and monetizing other people's generosity.

“It was a year ago” Okay AND??? I’m sorry but 10k~ a month is life changing amounts to some people. And the reason “everyone else was doing it!!!” is because you, the person with the largest platform, NORMALIZED IT.

A sarcastic criticism of actions (as response to a personal attack) is not the same as a personal ableist attack with violent overtones.

kenna 🧚🏻‍♀️🍓 !! nic 🫀 tomione Of course there’s no charge for the procedure! (However, in order to access the video tutorials, you will have to subscribe to the Patreon….)

I got blocked but what the actual fuck? And then Bambi wants to blame it on Stephy being bullied(?) for a year… Asking someone to take accountability and own up to making thousands off fandom… isn’t bullying. And this definitely isn’t the way to respond.

kenna 🧚🏻‍♀️🍓 !! Like this. From a whole ass “medical professional”

caruciatus no way is stephy actually working in medicine

You can’t say that a fanfic author is being unprofessional because writing fanfic is not a profession. Please take your greed elsewhere, it’s not welcome here.

I’m the writer who got this comment and just want to say a huge thanks to you and everyone for your support. It means a lot 🩵

y'all..... it took me two or three weeks but I figured who'll be hermione's father in bellatrix's secret baby fic (and you're so not ready for it)

i blame booktok and dhrtok for the influx of readers who are entitled, don’t respect boundaries and try to monetize fandom

idk who has to hear it but clout chasing will be the downfall of this fandom
