You are well within your rights to instantly downvote, but there are also alternative solutions that are more long term. [b]1)[/b] If you wish to no longer see any of my FanFiction posts, [b]please[/b] block the tags #Fanfiction or #Biocatarus. By doing so you will never again see any Fanfiction-related works from me in the future. [b]2)[/b] You can also simply [u]mute[/u] my profile if that’s prefered, but understand that I will be doing traditional Lore posts later down the line, and this option would hide those as well.
