A note before we begin; this is not intended to critique or disparage people who do accept money for their fanfic/fanwork; like all my musings posts, it is merely a public exploration of my own thoughts. It is intended to provoke discussion, not to insult or denigrate.
Today’s meandering musings post is about a subject I have wanted to address for a long time. And yet, it’s one that I’m still considering my feelings for.
