Short answer: Yes, fanfic is okay now. AR now “ignores fanfiction.” That’s her current stance. We don’t have her approval, we have her tolerance.

*~And AO3 has pledged itself as a safe haven* for fanfic writers to post their works!~*

But even with all that, I still would caution ppl from sharing the more hidden fics unless you are sure you are communicating w/ someone who is not a POTP, bc they have “poked the bear” by sending things to AR under the guise of caring for her, but it always feels like a thinly veiled attempt to provoke drama *grumbles* 

Just so you know: a lawsuit doesn’t happen immediately. She has to send you a C&D (Cease & Desist) letter first, and that’s a very scarily-worded letter that’s meant to intimidate you into taking your fanfic down, during the War on Fanfic™, ppl just complied, avoiding any further action.

I really should have an FAQ, sorry about, that bc I’ve answered this before 😛 I have more info on her stance on fanfic in these posts [X] [X], and in my #fanfic and #war on fanfic tags, if you want to more.
