Weekend Reading Project Update 2 - "Writer Denied" Theme Deconstruction
Okay now for part 2 in my deconstruction of the Fox Familiar. All cited works will be in spoilers along with in-depth commentary, so the thread stays concise.
Anyway that is the first theme deconstruction. Also, please critique my work if you think something is wrong or see something I haven't. This only works with your feedback so chime in.
If this is too aggressive, speak up too. I am not trying to hurt anyone. I just want to help others understand who they are dealing with.
Okay now for part 2 in my deconstruction of the Fox Familiar. All cited works will be in spoilers along with in-depth commentary, so the thread stays concise.
One thing about her work that struck me is how seriously she takes the endeavor of Fan Fiction. My first tip off that this was more than just idle fun or a hobby of enjoyment was this paragraph:
Notice here that she is talking shop and industry, this is a hobby to many people and she ignores that. Here she is bringing in the companies and the legal aspects of this. She bolds and italicizes Creative Licence and Fair Use, which tells me her perspective is about making this a serious effort. She learned the rules and takes it very seriously.
One does not start learning the rules of a trade like this, and taking it this seriously unless they want to go pro.
So why with all this seriousness towards fan fiction, does she instead spend her time on a fanfiction website flaming "people aging from 6-years-old to 60", rather than writing professional fan fiction?
My answer came here in this bolded and italicized line, "sheer number of people writing and making it". That indicates that she is angry that there are so many people working in this domain, a domain that she takes seriously. A domain that she learned and spent a lot of time and effort to learn. It soon became apparent that this was not just about taking things seriously, she wanted the competition out. If she is so good why force them out, the answer is because she feels that her work will not be noticed. Also with the fact that the publishing industry is awash with books and manuscripts, it is easy to guess that if she did submit something. No one ever saw it.
Also with Amazon selling fan fiction through kindle, why not try to sell it there. The answer is that she believes it will never sell now.
Her next paragraph started to reinforce this.
Notice the first bolded and italicized line. She takes cannon very seriously. Like any professional fan-fiction writer would. Notice right after this statement she drops the refined mask and regresses in speech to a teenager. This is an emotional statement. This is a kid talking not an adult. She badly wants to be a successful adult. Yet here, in talking trade she regresses. It indicates a trigger.
Notice the second bolded and italicized word, plagiarism. Here she is taking a leap and calling someone a thief for creatively changing cannon. This type of leap indicates to me that she takes this very seriously and wants anyone who does not to leave fan-fiction writing. She thinks that anyone who does not take this seriously, is taking something from her. Remember, she takes this seriously, and after the regression from first line it is apparent; she takes it personally.
She also mentions transformers and it indicates she may have written a Transformers Fanfic. She seems hurt by the movies and mentions this type of fandom more than any other in her intro.
The next paragraph was where she seemed to regain her composure and place her mature mask back on in the first sentence.
Here she is mentioning her cause for advancing the upright in literature again. She has composure here. She is calm here. She can make snarky references here. Notice that her vocabulary and tone mature, somewhat. As if her purpose hides her sadness.
From this point I began to see a very strong theme and deconstructed the rest of the intro using it, starting back at the beginning. One of her lines stood out and supported my guesses.
This line began to become clearer with the revelation from those 2 following paragraphs. Here she first mentions "that Special Snowflake bubble". She has used this line a number of times in her flames as well. When you start to see everything else, she was likely once "that Special Snowflake", herself. She uses that phrase a lot in her flames. As if she wants them to feel something. Something she had felt.
She also starts using alliteration and esoteric references. She wants to the reader to know that she is intelligent and well versed. Her alliteration though is slightly regressed, which tells me she gets triggered by fangirls too. You can tell when it is something personal, her speech regresses.
A following paragraph reinforces the concept that she considers her work to be a serious undertaking.
Here she considers herself as skilled and valuable as med students. She thinks of herself as educated. Her tone is more calm and mature. Notice she still wants people to stay in their “discipline” and out of potentially hers.
Then the numbered bullets also stood out:
Here she is describing the stories that she considers beneath serious writing. Another question to ask though is why be so concerned about them. Unless as when you look up to the points above. She considers this to be competition or at the very least crowding the market and preventing her work from getting noticed.
Then this bullet stuck out, here she talks about "Horrible and Talentless Authors and their fans":
She likely despises "subpar" authors that have fans. They are competition to her. When they have fans, she does not. Notice her tone regresses and her mask of maturity does as well.
Here in point 9 her tone regresses again when talking about cannon:
Her tone regressing here points to the fact that to her Fan Fiction writing is more than just professional. It is personal and this points to a likely source of trauma. It becomes clear here that she was horribly hurt and rejected. Likely from failing at fan fiction writing.
On these final last bullet points she regresses again when talking about Fan Fiction. She even offers a glimpse into her soul. She really loves fan fiction and she takes it seriously.
Here she regresses into rage. It is as if again she feels that something was taken from her rather than someone else.
Here she shows her love after the first paragraph. Fan Fiction is something she takes seriously and loves. She then sadly descends back into the pain that hurt her. She does not like people who do not take Fan Fiction serious enough to pursue professionally. The details matter to her, because for a professional writer they mean everything.
The fact that she has these regressive moments and takes her work so personally hints at a traumatic incident with it. The fact that she concentrates on flaming other writers rather than promoting her own work, hints at the fact that she feels threatened by them.

Toxic Women (or should I say obnoxious little girls?). The true scum of the earth. One does not need to wander far to see these little devils vomiting their acidic waste onto the archives. They are the summary of all the points listed above. Toxic women have no logic and live only to "please you" with their hideous attempt at literature. Should you come in contact with them, or see their work, it is highly suggested that you find a nuclear fallout shelter immediately. Most of them have flocked to AO3, but until that site gets an adequate review system, those wenches will be in for a grand party once I get over there.
