Not only have I been seeing it a lot, but I’ve gotten a few… not complaints, but I’ve been informed of this issue as well – and I figure I’ll make a post to address it. Because yes, this is extremely important, and a lot of the newcomers don’t know.

Back when the fandom was new and baby, and it got the attention of those at Rooster Teeth, Geoff explicitly said do not include Millie in any way into fanfiction. The original post and blog indicating this for proof has been passworded, but I found in fuckyeahot6 a nice summary of the rules, which include it so please, look these over. Some older original rules can be seen in those two links, but recently we’ve acquired the permission from Kyle’s girlfriend that she is now alright with us shipping Kyle. I’ve gone through our chat video with Ryan Haywood and he spoke that anything is alright, because he won’t ever read it so “let the creativity flow”

Arryn and Miles are totally fine with the shipping!

Some other points of interest that I’ve collected are from a few others. Starting with Caiti, when she came into our chat, she told us that she, and Jack, are fine with it just make sure that no harm/noncon/abuse/cheating. You can view her answer here.

Caleb has mentioned time and time again, and he was the original one to bring forth Geoff’s request of Mille, that he is fine with the shipping; in fact he enjoys the ones where he dies. And in a TAB podcast at 1:01:55 ish Caleb also says he is alright with fanfics.

However, Caleb’s brother, Jordan, is not comfortable with shipping at all, so please do not include him in anyway , as is the same with all the children of Rooster Teeth that appear on the Game Kids Channel. Just don’t do it.

Kdin has also gotten an ask and replied to it that he is fine with it, seeing it as a creative outlet and so long as we know it’s fictional, he’s alright with it all.

Tina is okay with shipping, she just asks that we keep the fics morally sound.

While going through the tags I saw this post here indicating that the new hire Jeremy was more that honoured to be written in fanfics. 

Through our RT guest chats, we’ve tried to get their opinions to take a look through all that. Far as I can remember, they are all ok, with a few rules, JJ’s of no socks with sandals is the best.

And another issue that I’ve seen many, many, many, many, many times is that there are shipping things that are tagged with name tags For example, freewood smut tagged with #Ryan Haywood and #Gavin Free, or reader inserts tagged with the person they are with. There is a strict reason why we keep shipping things out or name tags – it brings the hate. While, for the most part, all Ragehappy fans are Rooster Teeth fans, not all Rooster Teeth fans are Ragehappies. They do not want to see anything RPF and when they do, things like hate infect the shipping tags.

I hope this clears up a few things. Please stop writing Millie in fics. Please stop posting fics with name tags.

This post will be updated as new information arises, and I will keep posting it weekly with our ask box open/closings.

Please reblog and share this with other shippers you know of. It is extremely important to spread this information.

If you have any, arguments or comments, send them towards my main account at thisandthensome.

Thank you.

EDIT 1:

We got an ask in regards to Kdin’s girlfriend saying no to shipping him, so we asked her and we got a positive confirmation that she is fine with it so long as it’s not explicit/gross. So no psycoteeth or the like.

And it should not have to be mentioned, but please keep Ryan’s kids out of it too. In fact, keep all the kids out of it unless they are an OC child.

EDIT 2:

In regards to Ryan Haywood, I’ve recently gone back through our chat with him, and he said that anything is okay in regards with him since won’t ever read it – it doesn’t bother him. He understands its a creative outlet.

EDIT 3:

Jeremy has said he is honoured to be in fanfics.

EDIT 4:

I was informed I had not put in Arryn’s and Miles’ responses to being shipped so here is Arryn’s and Miles’ is the same thing (We don’t have anything written, just from our chat with him).

In response to Game Kids Channel, under no circumstance are you to ship or even write about any of the kids. Jordan Denecour has been asked as well and he is not comfortable with it. While Caleb has said nothing sexual, I ask that we please keep him out of everything. Especially Incest. 

We finally got word from Tina that she’s fine with the shipping 😀 Just keep it morally sound alright?

EDIT 5:

Kdin does not want anything smut of him.

EDIT 6:

Funhaus has said they’re okay with shipping! In fact, its an honour! If anything individually comes up with them, we’ll let you know 😀

EDIT 7:

Mica Burton gladly welcomes shipping with arm’s wide open and actually cannot wait to see what comes up!

EDIT 8:

Keep family out of shipping. This goes for children and wives and siblings. I’ve noticed, and a few others in the community, that there is a rise in ships with Ryan’s wife/mentions of his children, not to mention the blatant disregard for Geoff wanting to keep Millie out of fics. Yes, I’ve seen many fics still having her in them since this post started circulating. 

Keep. Family. Out
