I dont have much of a reach but I hope this gets to as many ao3 authors as possible
Ao3 has been mainstream for a while now, thats not the new problem. The discourse going on the past week/s revealed that ficdom etiquettes are lost and some of d site users no longer care about-
@Coimbra_Bertone@apaullling Oh the no ads, it's a blessing.
Recently I haved goes on Tumblr and it was 2 posts from the peoples you follow for 1 ads, then one post, one ads for a Tumblr post, then 1 ia scam ads. 😑
(It's even worse on Pinterest.)
Ao3 is way better, the tags are clear (if peoples tags well.)
@Coimbra_Bertone@apaullling Of course,
Ao3 is the big foundation of today fanfictions, tumblr and Wattpad haved test to bring people to them. The comment they received told everything.
@Coimbra_Bertone@apaullling Oh I see.
It's crazy how 9 days. (10 depending of the time zone.) And it feel like its been a months because of all the things and the fights that goes over X.
@Coimbra_Bertone@apaullling And the site? 20 likes and a lot of repost/complains, i can understand why, it will not last 24h without a lawsuit from big company the moment they see it.
@Coimbra_Bertone@apaullling So the lawsuit is for something else?
As for gdrives, apparently the publics one's feed ia like Gemini. (It will not surprise me, as Meta have put new rules who make then feed their ia even more from fb and insta.) So I can understand writers who don't want to feed ia.
@apaullling What? Lawsuit? For the Google drives? Or something else? I have not follow everything...
As for the new website? I can understand that it can be good to have multiple platforms where to post. But... all of the rules that I have see for one?... it was too luch even for me.
@wtfockenglish I'm sure that the majority of the writer's don't want to be famous and are even more afraid of all of the CNN and other media looking at fanfictions. There was lawsuit in the past against fanfictions writer when they where free. It can happen again.
@xForest_Ghoulx With the public Google drive, and the ia scam website, it's more then illegal. As in the past, even just writing for free, fanfictions have peoples been sued by Anne Rice, even a kid haved lawsuit against him if I remember well.
Fanfictions from her creations where deleted.
@murderlight@iminkain Like they can be assholes toward writers.
Readers who think that silence is NOTHING, when it's just destroy the self estime of writers who wanted to be a part of a community!
Its the mentality that every writers want to be FAMOUS, even if there is nothing who confirm that!
@MlleTeapot Tu ne comprend pas quand j'explique que les personnes poste en ligne pour communiquer, faire partie de la communauté. Si ils voulaient du silence, ils n'auraient jamais poster.
@MlleTeapot "Je suis timide." N'est pas une excuse. Il existe des moyens anonyme de laisser un encouragement, une critique, ce n'est pas ma faute si d'un coups tout le monde mettent leurs infos personnelle sur internet, qui fait qu'ils peuvent se faire doxxer.
Doxxing qui est dégueulasse.
