sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that’s why there’s now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it’s not even good. that’s because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves “i should get this porn published”. they’re too busy working in local government offices
everyone I am happy to announce that the stevebucky fanfic author I had in mind while writing this post has officially reblogged it.
