I wonder... does this blog have enough reach in the fandom that we could try and finally put a stop to people tagging unrelated AUs as LU.
The correct term to use is "Links meet AU" and the reason the mistagging hurts is because:
A) It dismisses the creativity of the work. Its a lot like saying someone's original character looks like a fictional character you know. It may be a small unintended insult but it can be demoralising and make them not wish to share their art anymore.
B) It connects all AUs of this type to Jojo, the creator of LU. That comic was not the first links meet au by a long shot. YES her work inspired many of us to start our own imagines of the same base concept, but that does not make them Linked Universe. It's like claiming someone inspired by spider-man deciding to explore the superhero genre is just making more spider-man.
Yes this may be a small issue, but I've been working on this webcomic since 2020 and still get those demoralising tags. I've been silently baring it long enough. Even worse is seeing how it hurts fellow creators in the fandom.
I don't like asking this but... Please spread this post and if you'd like: add your own experiences below. Maybe we can change things around here.

Some Majora's Mask comics that I started forever ago and never finished. I really like them though so I will finish them at some point. I still need to sketch the last one and then figure out how I want to color them.

please reblog if you can!
These are the scenes that came to my mind when Hyrule first met Legend. I assume Legend doesn’t know yet that he has a successor or that Ganon won’t revive after he kills Ganon a few times. And Hyrule idolized Legend as a hero before him
How would you feel if you met someone from the future who MAY know your history?
And how would you feel if you met the -legendary- person who became your idol for the first time?
sorry if my English/tenses are wrong.
