Snicks

Fan art · Crawler fan fiction

Fan-made stories and art pairing crawlers together, which Donut adores as art and Louis finds alarming.

Story so far

When Donut rages that the Donut Holes T-Shirt is exploitation, Carl points out she is always telling him about "snicks or whatever they're called" featuring herself and all sorts of other people — including one, only a few days back, involving her, Samantha, and Louis. Louis's only response is a startled "What?"

Donut draws a firm line: snicks are fan art and they are beautiful, whereas the Donut Holes merch is a for-profit organization exploiting her likeness for lurid reasons. The distinction, in her view, is money — a position Zev then complicates by explaining the Licensing Fee system.

Role

Relationships

Donut — Devoted consumer who defends them as beautiful art.
