“imagine being 30 on ao3” the backbone of fandom being 30+ yr old doctors, lawyers, teachers, service workers, stay at home moms, and folks who have been in fandom for two or more decades…
sometimes you read a fic on ao3 that turns out to be one of the most beautiful works of literature ever created and you know it will leave a lasting impression on you for the rest of your life
