@CTSports_Guy @Etanarachel I'm not the scientific expert to determine that, but my perspective honestly comes from how Neil deGrasse Tyson explained it and now sticks with me. https://t.co/buCZB5tlfD

@piperocktheory So you agree that high schoolers are children

@wonhaebunny That's funny as hell tho

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@Cadyshaun1 1. California has not actually executed anyone on death row in 20 years
2. How many of those 548 incarcerated people were prosecuted for rape?
3. Death row is more expensive for taxpayers than any other sentence
4. Gov should not have the power to kill in a faulty system

@NoahKahan Handwriting so bad that it causes misreading in social media posts 😭

[jo @notafan_jo]

wait i'm so good at this fanfic stuff

[ser @ser_pendragon]

A selfish part of me would be glad to see if fanfic faded back into obscurity once more and only those pure of heart kept it alive as a closed practice. 😔

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@Feanorians6 @evilabsolved For what?

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@seibarosario It has a selection process. It's broad in scope but it does not accept everything everything. It puts value in preserving fan works which is extensive. https://t.co/P3vU2XjafK

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@dalisbored Yes I think AO3 faces an interesting challenge in that regard. It comes to consent vs preservation. At the end of the day, not everything can be preserved forever as we don't even have unlimited digital storage. That's the real lasting challenge for archives generally

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@_todayiswendy It's not that they don't, but I think it's largely more frowned upon (and why writers are more descreet about it) rather than fan artists and I think that's an odd perspective to have.

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@noctentnight @dalisbored Yes in the US, written fictional work is not considered CSAM so while it may be morally questionable, it can still legally exist and hence AO3 allows it.

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@dalisbored That's why AO3 is untraditional. But archives don't always have permanent ownership. The documents can be on loan or just digitally archived and later returned to the owner. That's a common practice especially within academic institutions

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@dalisbored Perhaps that could be argued, but in practice archives work under the respect of the person providing the work to be archived. AO3 is a rare archive that has living documents bc it's not completely historical. It doesn't invalidate the authenticity of a document though

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@noctentnight @dalisbored Yeah, I love being on AO3 & as a MLIS student, how they approach archiving is fascinating to me 😂 but AO3 also follows US law in regards to hosting content (and by extension what it doesn't allow) That's not an archive thing just a protecting themselves legally thing

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@noctentnight @dalisbored Code of ethics as applied to how the archival work is performed not the content of the work itself. AO3 is not the only archive that hosts "unethical" work. Largely, archives are inherently anti-censorship and AO3 remains very committed to that doctrine

[ser @ser_pendragon]

@dalisbored @noctentnight Archives withdraw records. That's common and necessary within these institutions. Orohaning a work is simply an author releasing control directly back to AO3. AO3 takes unconventional approaches bc it's an unconventional archive but it does what it says on the tin
