don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)

covid ruined so many things but fandom spaces being invaded by normes without fandom etiquette really is the worst
all this crazy behavior since ao3 went down is another example why fandom should have stayed for the fun crazy people and never have reached the insane crazy and fake moralist people

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.'
This ao3 discourse is really highlighting to me that a lot of people genuinely believe “you will create and get nothing and be happy” is a sustainable model for fanfiction.

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
"The most unemployed person you know is upset about AO3." Babe, one of the most brilliant writers in my fandom is a surgeon. Go outside and touch grass.

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?
