one of my favs things after reading an excellent fic is first seeing what else the author has written and then also looking at what they’ve bookmarked

In his wolf armor he looks so cute and handsome, even if he's angry and in distress 24/7, he's still the cutest boy on earth. Like his moe bending will kill us all

Пока твиттер тут обсуждает, надо ли помнить авторов по никам и знать их аватарки, до меня тут внезапно дошло, что я по никам и аватаркам знаю и помню своих ЧИТАТЕЛЕЙ х)

hes so #zuko

[gabiloo @pockettsope]

the reason people who are older and have been in fandom for longer are constantly telling you to NOT bring up fanfics/fandom to writers, producers and actors it’s not only bc it’s NOT FOR THEM, but also bc they can take legal actions against it and make those spaces disappear

Возьмите из холодильника лёд девочки и мальчики, потому-что увидев такого мужчину с огоньком, вам он точно понадобится!
Вообще я его ещё до конца не доделала, но очень хотелось показать вам его🔥

The AO3 situation is bringing to the surface a problem we’ve been sweeping under the rug for years: the double standards applied to fanfiction and fanart.

An artist can draw whatever they want and post it on social media, benefiting from algorithmic favoritism because their content is quick and easy to consume (because people scroll through social media in a matter of seconds. If something takes even one extra minute of their time, they won’t bother)
They can make money, to the point of building an actual career out of commissions (is that legal? Who knows… probably best not to look into it), and receive hundreds of comments or reposts because they deserve it and have worked hard to reach that level (absolutely true, and I agree. But so has anyone else who creates something. I didn’t learn how to sew cosplay costumes or write overnight. It took me just as much time and effort.)

A fanfiction writer doesn’t get that.

Social media platforms penalize:
- External links to websites like AO3.
- Walls of text (so no chapters published as posts)
- Certain words or phrases.
- Posts that don’t get immediately shared or commented on within the first few minutes after publication.

(I could go on, but you get the point.)

So, if we try to promote our work, we’re forced to commission artwork from artists (for a fee, see above) just to grab people’s attention with content that’s quick and easy to consume.

If we dare to ask for comments or any kind of feedback (completely free and anonymous), we get insulted because “well, I don’t want to be OBLIGED to say what I think, or to give a like/kudos/heart/smoke signal or crop circle to that idiot who spent sleepless nights in front of a computer.”

And if we ever dared to ask for even a single euro for our work (which nobody does, because we already know how that would end), just imagine the diplomatic incident that would cause.

So why bother? And don’t come at me with the joy of creating. I’ve been writing novels on my computer for 25 years, and I’m perfectly happy leaving them right where they are rather than sharing them for free with ungrateful people.

This whole situation is bringing one thing into focus: when all is said and done, AI isn’t really the problem.

[Kare @caeseriak]

@thevampireseere I hope it works out for you! Really wish devs would make sure things are optimized before shipping. I'm hoping they do so on the next game!

[Kare @caeseriak]

@anderseeds Thanks for this, I'm going to do this as soon as the archive is back up. This never occurred to me and I've been on AO3 since the very beginning!! 😅

[I will erupt, feral, from the cardigan @anderseeds]

I've seen a lot of authors consider deleting their work as soon as Ao3 is back up, so I want to offer an alternative solution. You can make your fics private/inaccessiable through a private collection:

[Kare @caeseriak]

@thevampireseere Yeah, I have not had any problems previously with other games. I can run KCD2 on high graphics with no problem. I've seen a lot of people complaining about optimization on this game unfortunately. I've never seen a game do a kernel dump on my computer before, it's insane.

[Kare @caeseriak]

@Seona_Sinclair Same. I'm 16 chapters into a fic and I'm probably not going to finish it now after seeing how readers behaved in the last few days.
For what it's worth, I just finished chapter five of your fic last night, and I love your writing style. It flows beautifully. ❤️
