Fanfiction & Shipping Hats

Fanfiction has room for the reader who refuses an ending and the writer who supplies a whole new one. Archive of Our Own won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Related Work, an award recognizing the platform itself. NPR's reporting also described the hundreds of volunteers behind it, including coders, data administrators and lawyers. That scale of shared effort sits alongside something much smaller and more personal: one rarepair-thread commenter described a ship with just two fics, one of them their own. These Fanfiction & Shipping hats live in that space between a huge creative community and a very specific imaginary romance. FANON OVER CANON makes allegiance plain. CANON? I DON'T KNOW HER gives canon a dismissive introduction, while NOBODY STAYS DEAD lets the wearer rewrite the ending. The slow-burn design demands GEOLOGICAL YEARNING, taking the pining and anticipation discussed by fic readers to an absurd timescale. The rarepair line pushes a participant's tiny-archive experience into a proud claim of having written both stories. Choose a fanfiction or fanfic-writer badge, or wear a full confession about eye contact and additional tags. The geological-yearning and rarepair designs each come in two colorways. Every design is custom embroidered on a dad hat, ready for the reader or writer whose preferred version deserves its own shelf.
