I just had a discussion with my friend about fanfiction and how we tend to assume that women are the writers without any actual proof. Then I said, hey, I know fanfiction written by gay and trans dudes. But then I remembered, wait, I think I know one writer who just must be cis het based on his work. Anyway, all writers, be honest, who are you?

Please reblog if you’re interested in the results.

If you have ever written any fanfiction, tell me your identity, pls

Oh please answer this poll, it might be semi-representative if the number of responses is high enough

Picked “cis queer woman” because I can pretty easily deal with being described in that box.

(although what’s meant by “queer” here takes an essay or two to explain; neither my orientation nor my gender identity can be fully expressed in less than a day’s worth of autistic info-dumps)
