This is horrible marketing. Like are you actually calling Christine an “I can fix him girlie”? Your Erik is a sexual predator who assaulted her! She’s horribly betrayed by his deception! And she’s not an “I can fix it girlie” she’s a no-personality pick me that decides no one can teach her like he can so she’d better go back to her fucking abuser.

For the love of god, stop trying to romanticize your books where Erik is more of a predator than he ever is in Leroux or ALW or Cherik(the fact that you tell people you’ve written a Cherik-like Erik is also just… ridiculous). This is why you’re getting one star reviews- poor, false advertising.

You bitch about how “dark romance” gets a bad rep but you’re not brave enough to market your book as dark romance because you’d rather get reader’s money and cry over their bad reviews and how people just don’t get your book rather than make sure readers can make an informed and safe decision about reading your book. You might have less readers if you’re honest about the book content but that should be preferable than your current path of deceiving phans into reading a book about sexual assault. Of course, this is coming from the same woman who yesterday said that she makes Raoul “more an antagonist” as if making him racist and hateful doesn’t actually make him a bad guy, just bad-guy-leaning

what is the deal with jess mason?

Okay, I’m gonna try to keep this short and sweet, because there’s just so many ways Jess has pissed people off over the years (some bordering on the absurd) that I could never possibly cover it all in one short post. I’m sure many people could add their own personal encounters with her. The paragraphs below have sources in the underlined text. 

Long story short, Jess was a Big Name Fan for many years, predominantly went by ibelieveinthelittletreetopper here on tumblr, got popular mostly because she wrote for the fan site The Mary Sue and would periodically interview cast and writers (like at SDCC), and more or less imploded that popularity somewhere around s14 (personally, I dropped her after she made a 10x21 post explaining why Charlie’s death Wasn’t Bad Actually, so that should give you some idea of what she’s like). I can’t remember exactly the order of events, but it can essentially be boiled down to her badmouthing the fans that saw destiel as something that was being intentionally written in the show (and hey, we were right!). For most, though, the final straw is when her post-SPN Finale article dropped, where she compared fandom finale conspiracies and people trying to make sense of it all to right wing nutjobs Qanon. Pissed quite a few people off with that one. And yet, as much as Jess constantly shits on spn fandom and seems to have nothing but disdain for us, that hasn’t stopped her from trying to make a quick buck at out us whenever possible (see her typo-riddled book and now the upcoming podcast).

Jess has kicked up quite the reputation for herself outside of SPN fandom as well. She wrote an entire ass article wherein she complained about lesbian stairway sex on an episode of Wynonna Earp being unrealistic, prompting thee showrunner of Wynonna Earp Emily Andras to fire back with  “ If you have plausibility issues with sex on stairs I have some sad news about immortal cowboy demons.” Jess tried to defend herself, ending up bemoaning the fact that a “straight woman [had] come in and devalued criticism from a queer woman” except, whoops, Emily Andras is bi. (tweet from an earlier date). Emily Andras would later quote a tweet asking to start a fight with five words or less with “Reunion stair sex: implausible, uncomfortable.” I apologize for going on and on about this, I just think it’s the funniest thing to ever happen on the bird app. This isn’t even touching the people she pissed off by defending The Magicians after Quentin’s death or whatever squabble she got into with the Good omens fandom. 

Now with all that being said, I need to make it clear that Jess’s bullshit goes beyond bad fandom opinions and internet squabbles and people finding her annoying. She wrote an article on sex workers using plagiarized research where she used tweets of real sex workers that ending up getting doxed, has been called out by her former coworkers at the Mary Sue for her antiblackness and her tone policing on racism, argued against a black female James Bond, and as Stichmediamix pointed out in this great rebuttal article to Jess’s ‘Fandom Conspiracies are just as dangeous as any other” article, has a disingenuous response to fans in SPN fandom as opposed to her compassionate attitude towards fandoms that have a well documented history of harassing Black Actors. There’s definitely a pattern of troubling behavior here, and I don’t bring any of this up to make light of it or treat it the same as fandom squabbling, but to impress upon you that many individuals have real reasons to be way of her. 

So there you have it, anon. TLDR: Jess Mason is annoying and racist and has pissed off most of spn fandom at one time or another. 

Thank you to Mel @lets-steal-an-archive for all of these sources. Her archiving skills are unmatched, and I’m eternally grateful, especially since I have a mind like a sieve.

Jess Mason reciepts.

I LOVE Rob & Rich. I respect them. I was into the podcast as soon as I saw it with them headlining. I'm a Kings of Con stan, I don't know how else to convey that I absolutely support them and am BROKEN UP about having to decline supporting that project because of the writer. But please don't help elevate this person or give her views a platform.

If equating queer fans hurt by the finale to Qanon wasn't enough, the rest of this should be.

Also feels relevant to remind everyone that Jess has written Destiel under the pseud "PersephoneShadow," including some semi-popular fics that I still see rec'd today, EVEN THOUGH she had an entire implosion on this very hellsite basically calling all of us crazy and delusional, declaring that queercoding in SPN doesn't exist and that she knows that because she knows and speaks for the writers. I can't give you receipts on that as she deleted her blog here, and honestly, I was hoping she'd fade into oblivion.

The fandom backlash to that was instant and strong, but Jess has never apologized for essentially saying she used Destiel to get her views and attention and that she's not really one of us--I suggest we don't forget that now.

I used to follow her both on here, and was subscribed to her writing. I remember her pushing her shitty "guide" to the Spn fandom book on AO3, which is not only in total violation of their terms of service, but puts the whole archive at risk. It was also full of factual errors and just straight up plagiarism, and cross-promoted by some of the louder, more divisive voices in fandom that she'd buddied up to.

She also went after several other fans and creators hard when they dared to disagree with her, including accusing another creator of faking their own brain tumor, and spreading this rumour while they were trying to raise funds to pay for medical expenses (not linking to them directly because I don't have their permission/don't want to violate anyone's privacy).

And that's... just the tip of the iceberg. Jessica upsets, discriminates against, and talks down to people in every fandom and professional space she's stumbled across. I can't believe she wasn't vetted and completely thrown out as a possibility by anyone considering her in a professional capacity for R2's podcast.
