i seriously despise those who contribute absolutely nothing to fandom except negativity, that breed of talentless, unintelligent & unkind person who, instead of engaging with the things they love, are more concerned with the things they hate & make it everyone else’s problem too.

Yes. You are. This mentality destroys fandom spaces. If I had wanted to keep my fics in a silent archive, I would've just left it in the folders on my pc, no reason to share online. One thing is not getting any reach, it happens, another is publishing passively like a machine.

something something about corporations inserting themselves into the business of ao3, one of the last anti censorship, capitalism-free and ad-free places on the internet. #ao3outage

notice how this is ACTUAL TANGIBLE WRITING ADVICE and not just talking about people like they're unintelligent for doing something you dislike.
We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Lovelies, I don't know how I feel about my stories being shared on public drives. On the one hand, it's wonderful that we are sharing stories, and we cannot live without them for even a day. On the other hand, it feels like we're forgetting the humans behind those files.

people engaging with authors about their fics is part of the goal of the archive. It’s not the fucking library of congress. The goal is not the dogged preservation of culture with no other agendas. The promise of ao3 is your fics won’t get purged and you can engage with readers

About to mute “ao3 is an archive” bc none of yall seem to know what it fucking means. It means they won’t delete your shit for no reason. It doesnt mean fic preservation is the sole goal of ao3. Hence why they make you get permission to upload a deleted fic

¿Hay algo más poco profesional por parte de una trabajadora social que acabar de atender a una persona en shock que ir a la prensa a contarlo?
No sé si es funcionaria pero es un despido muy justificado.
🚨 La trabajadora social que atendió a la maquinista del Iryo: «Solo decía que el semáforo estaba en rojo»

la historia de Carmen, la mujer que ha muerto en el accidente de Urda me tiene sin palabras... viajaba mucho por trabajo y el viaje del miércoles era el último que hacía porque se jubilaba la semana que viene...
la vida son dos dias y hay que aprovechar cada minuto
i should be soothing the pain of ao3 being down with debut tv right now this month is just hit after hit
I'm begging the "If you don't want people to do whatever the fuck they want with YOUR work then don't post it in a public place " crowd to explain to me what they expect the natural consequences of defending and upholding this position might be. I'll wait.

The entitlement is honestly baffling. Authors spend hours, days, sometimes months writing stories for free, and somehow people have convinced themselves that they're owed those stories in whatever format, on whatever platform. You're readers, not owners. Act accordingly.

yes, and fanfiction is supposed to be a dialogue among fans, not a performance consumed by a faceless audience...we writers like to engage with comments because we are fans also, and kudos are just a "hey thanks for the cookie" type gesture. basic manners, y'all

Its not social media, but if you don't engage with the fics you read in any way or form then you can't be surprised later when authors stop writing you your little bedtime stories
