I’m surprised that no one has written a cultural essay about how the response to AO3’s collapse reflects a business mindset driving engagement in the arts (i.e. regular people talking about box office receipts as if they’re shareholders) and rampant individualism over community.

fuck discourse, I'm recentering:
thank God for fanfic, & for fandom community at its core being about wanting to share cool things & help each other
I got to find, choose, & then read fic today thanks to the collective efforts of 3+ strangers I'll never know??? wild & awesome

I think we’re losing sight of what a fandom actually is. Nobody should feel obligated to create anything to earn their place in a community. And creating art or writing fics doesn't make you superior to anyone else. You're sharing a hobby, not doing anyone a favor
capitalism has rotted y’all’s brains fr. fandom is for FUN. it’s a HOBBY. insisting people having to “contribute” is the most insane thing i’ve ever seen.

i’m not gonna lie, i do judge the fuck out of people who don’t vote. it doesn’t take that long and it’s genuinely not hard. it’s not just your right, it’s your job. your voice matters, go make it heard people!!!

Mamdani: “Estamos gastando decenas de miles de millones de dólares en matar a personas. Ese dinero podría haberse utilizado para facilitar la vida de nuestra gente.
Siempre parece haber dinero para la guerra, pero no para alimentar a los pobres”

The nuance absolutely no one is getting is yes, it is extremely normal to crave feedback and connection with people about your art. However, if that is your primary reason for creating, it will not only leave you forever unsatisfied, it will permanently destroy your creativity

Please stop talking about fandoms as if they’re corporations with profit margins& loss margins
The first fic you will write will be because you loved smth so much that you wanted to create for it and throw it out into the world to show your ideas and love.
Not for anything else

día 4 sin ao3: salieron personas enojadisimas pq no pueden creer q exista gente q escribe por mero amor al arte y no por fama o dinero

also in case it wasn’t clear: i have no issue with my fics being shared as epubs or pdfs for reading or uploaded to drives for this purpose!!! my issue is with them being uploaded to sites for profit / ai-generated audiobooks bc 😀 what the fuck 😀

btw if ai is writing your fic for you, that’s not your work and you didn’t do anything.
Replying to @wwxwashere
btw ao3 authors work for FREE and you have no right to tell them how to create their content 🙂
