normally when two teams i care about play against each other i find comfort in the fact that at least one of them wins... i don't think i can count on that for the pens vs sharks tonight
Qui est Nick Suzuki? Pour les aveugles, il est la vision. Pour les affamés, il est le cuisinier. Pour les assoiffés, il est l’eau. Si Nick Suzuki pense, je suis d’accord. Si Nick Suzuki parle, j’écoute. Si Nick Suzuki n’a plus des partisans, c’est que je suis mort.
@ampfynn@mareastralis a locked fic on ao3 is still not as public as a pdf on a google drive with it's link posted all over social media. you gotta realise that, no?
@starry_meep@mareastralis there's still a difference between people reaching my fic via clicking easily found links and people having to sign up to ao3 to reach my fics
@mareastralis this is a nuanced issue about what is okay to share where and with who, but in the end it all comes down to consent. i consented to posting it on ao3 for y'all to see and download (and maybe send it to your groupchat). that consent does not necessarily extend to reposting the fic
@mareastralis it's all about the how and where, imo, like making stuff easily available to the public that wasn't before, especially locked fics. if i post a cute photo of me on my private insta everyone could theoretically save it and repost on a public platform, but it would be rude, no?
these ppl into situations but I also want to know YOUR thoughts on me putting these ppl into situations. Creating in a vacuum is hard af. Fandom is a social space and if you're only here to leech off of people and not even comment or give kudos maybe leave.
is ao3 an archive? yes. is it also a place where we can share fanwork and interact with it? yes. y'all sound incredibly dumb saying "it's an archive why do you want engagement?". ENGAGEMENT IS WHAT MAKES FANDOM GOOD. Yes I write my fics for me because I want want to put (1)
@wooyoungshark i don't think it's unreasonable to expect some basic etiquette from readers. if i post an unlocked fic online i can expect everyone and their mother reading it. locking fics is there specifically to have some control over who's reading them...
