fellow volunteers in ad&t currently providing goodness knows how many hours of literal unpaid volunteer labour to bring the site back in a functional state but what we really need to consider is are fic writers getting enough kudos to feed their families

i say this with love, everyone here needs to take the opinion of a random X user with a follower count in double digits a lot less seriously

exactly. the purpose of a system is what it does. - ao3's social features were not part of the original design for the site - there was long, serious, HEAVY debate on whether they should be added and if so in what form - they remain HEAVILY contested among volunteers TO THIS DAY
Replying to @Eraserho3
Because that is not it's purpose. Because many people use it to just read fics silently, or to upload their stuff and leave it at that. Are there people who can and do make and develop connections? Of course! But that is not the *purpose* of ao3. It's not what it's *for.*

readers have not done shit to writers but read and share their fics btw. writers have threatened fichub, threatened to quit, said they want money for fics (illegal), called readers entitled freeloaders and implied they're inherently worth less than writers. pure evil behaviour.

genuine q if you believe that otw has filed copyright claims for every fic on ao3 and got a court to agree and that therefore you own your fic in an ip/copyright legal sense and you also believe that the only reason you're not allowed to monetise your fic is bc of ao3's TOS

and you also believe that the only reason ao3's TOS forbids monetisation is because they "don't want to promote a culture of monetisation" then why do you not simply take the fic off ao3 and sell it? like, what do you believe is preventing you from doing that, legally?

i'm just curious as to how this all works in the minds of people who believe some unhinged things about the law, because they must have come up with a reason as to why their fic has to stay on ao3. do they believe that their legal ownership of the fic is tied to it being on ao3?

it's only been around for 3 years like no i was doing fine for 40 years and there is nothing about my life that would improve in any way if I started using it! NOT ONE THING!!!
People who use AI regularly massively overestimate how much everyone else uses it. They’re always so smug with the “if you hate AI, I hope you’re not using it to reply to your emails” argument. And I’m always like, yeah… I’m not. That’s exactly the point!

IF MONETISATION AND PROFIT ARE SO IMPORTANT TO YOU WHY DID YOU PICK THE ONE (1) HOBBY ON THE PLANET THAT YOU CANNOT MONETISE OR PROFIT FROM AND MAKING IT EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM

every fannish event these days but also literally fic archives before ao3. you have no idea HOW elitist HASA was. fanlore.org/wiki/Henneth_Ann…
Replying to @ardy_public
You must give your governmental id, an iris scan and publish one good fic to get in, the fic will be judged by a panel of literature professor and three editors for times

but writers' boundaries
RELEASED: a new version of AO3.js, our [Java|Type]Script library to get your fanfiction data from AO3, AO3-like archives, and—for these trying times—PDF/EPUB This update makes it easier to fetch from the site (ironic, we know), but…breaks some things (even more ironic, we know)

have we decided yet whether fic sharing is immoral bc we're all in fannish discords with all our favourite writers and Could Have Just Asked or if it's immoral bc we've Locked Writers Out Of The Community so they are unable to talk to other fans outside AO3 comment sections

Throwing this question to the room aka my followers and anyone else who sees it and has examples to share!
Replying to @ardy_public
Yeah, it's definitely a problem. Have you seen any examples of good community building? I'd love to learn from them because I personally want to run something like a zine or event.

were you not there when they celebrated Google taking down the mass drive bc they thought it meant that Google agreed that ppl sharing fic through the drives was infringement of fic authors' copyright and not GOOGLE TAKING DOWN THE FIC BC IT'S POTENTIAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Replying to @ardy_public
I’m fuckin CRYING COPYRIGHT? Do they know theyre dancing in the line between legal and illegal writing those fanfics? 😭
