and it's gone.
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵

I'm discovering ao3 is like a great wall for keeping animals contained because ever since it came down I'm seeing more and more insane takes, like "let's report fanfic TO GOOGLE" yes let's risk the existence of fanfiction by bringing legality into it

also it would be cutiepie if everyone reading/sharing downloaded fics kept a log of what they read so when ao3 is back up you can give kudos & a comment. spam the fics you read with some love when it’s back up and working 🥰🥰

AO3 IS RUN BY VOLUNTEERS they do not get paid for any of this. be kind, patient, and respectful to the volunteers who work hard to keep ao3 running, fight against censorship, and protect writers, fanfics, and people’s rights/freedom to write whatever they want, however they want

it’s funny how sometimes you buy a book, then read it in two days, and sometimes you buy a book and it lives on your bookshelf for 15 years.

Congratulations to all the authors who had me round up my 3.75 rating to a 4 on goodreads. I’m too lazy to go back and change it so you’re safe from me.

not only are we witnessing a mass "baby's first fandom" event, we are also witnessing a mass "baby's first time analyzing plot progression and character arcs" event. i feel like a wildlife biologist at a zoo.

the cast being there to talk about the start of the irina foundation just like how season two is going to start with shane and ilya talking about the start of the irina foundation ☹️

sorry that ya'll didn't find fic worth engaging with until heated rivalry and still find it kind of embarrassing. me and my fellow perverts however have tended to this garden with love for decades so i'd appreciate if you could put some respect on this staple of fandom thanks.

this is 1000% true and comes down to the fact that names are transparent to the reader (much like pronouns), while epithets of this kind explicitly call attention to themselves. unless that's specifically your goal (or unless the character doesn't know the other character's name)
i can guarantee that in 99 percent of cases, repeating a character's name or their pronouns again is going to read less awkward than a random epithet a la "the older man" or "the brunette" 😭
