covid ruined so many things but fandom spaces being invaded by normes without fandom etiquette really is the worst

it is a HOBBY. ffs. you're supposed to get enjoyment from the hobby. creating is supposed to make you happy. fanfiction is not an industry; it does not need to be 'sustainable.'

Thank you for all the support you've shared! We have no further updates beyond our earlier October 30 post, but keep an eye on official #OTW channels! While #AO3 is down, we wanted to share some internet safety reminders with all of you. Read more at: ao3-news.org/2z5ya9px

People saying AO3 readers are unemployed is so funny when the reality is most of us are using AO3 specifically to cope with the tragedy of being employed

it's a bit funny when people say "get a job" when you mention you like fanfiction because the best fic you’ll ever read is written by people in their 40s with incredibly successful corporate jobs that allow them to buy ungodly amounts of merch lol

"I don't want people to copy and share my fics" that is the POINNNTTTT of an ARCHIIIVVVEE. TO PREVENT WORKS FROM BEING LOST BY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO COPY AND SHARE IT. THATS WHY THERES A FUCKING DOWNLOAD BUTTON. STOP USING AN ARCHIVE IF YOU DONT WANT IT COPIED

This AO3 discourse really is proving that we are in a literacy crisis. If you don't want people downloading & sharing your fics, why are you posting them on the site called "Archive of Our Own" whose entire purpose is to archive fanworks & make them accessible for everyone?

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! READ CAREFULLY GUYS AND BE CAUTIOUS!
Earlier today, we detected evidence of a security incident on #AO3. We are still in the early stages of investigating. No AO3 data has been deleted. All your works, bookmarks, kudos, etc., are safe. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…
