I hope that at the next AO3 fundraiser, none of us will hear complaints, whining and questions about why these funds are needed. Thanks to those who spent their time and effort to restore work, you deserve gratitude and respect!

Ok so like earlier today I was joking about ao3 being down cuz I thought it was, ya know the normal ‘hey we’ll be down for maintenance or another common problem’

But knowing what really happened, is so much worse.

It’s now that users should realize that there are little to no other websites like ao3, and it’s increasingly being proved to us that it’s vulnerable.

Idk about you guys, I appreciate the memes, i do. But I feel that this isn’t a time for the funnies rn, maybe later.

Something’s wrong w me, cuz sometimes I get these inclinations to just flip established systems as a minority to show that we can make a change. I feel like ao3 users need to come together to protect our website and our rights on the internet.

TLDR: brains thinks Staging a peaceful protest to protect ao3 and websites like it is good idea but it’s also like 1 AM for me so you might disregard this post as ramblings

#good LORD #what is even the point #WHY #I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FANFICTION #FOR THE LOVE OF- #also like #ao3 is one of the only places left when you can enjoy content without having to pay for it or being bombarded by ads left and right #and where people get to share their work without having to be sponsored or GREAT AT IT already #I'm not saying it's one of the only avamposts left against capitalism and the way it manipulates media exposure and sharing #but it is #ao3 #ao3 down #protect ao3 #say thank you to all of the volunteers

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!! Yeah, that's right I can swear but I only swear and curse rarely.

Wanna know why?

Here's the reason.

This motherfucker want to monetize the said exposure about the reason why they're attacking AO3 right now. They're so fucking unbelievable! Hope they get karma cause karma is a bitch that bites hard.

as a reminder to literally anyone and everyone who even so much as considers this: AO3 has NO autosave ability when you're making drafts, so PLEASE do not use it instead of a writing program.

If their server goes down, if you hit a wrong button and refresh the page or go back to the previous page, if you accidentally close the browser, if your browser or device crashes, etc etc etc you are shit out of luck. Your work is gone forever, it didn't backup to anywhere and there is NO recovery option. Even TUMBLR's drafting ability is supposed to autosave and often does.

If you want to avoid gdocs that's fine- there's other text editors with simple autosave options, like Online Notepad or Digital Scholar's notepad, or there's still local-drive writing programs that are free and open source, like LibreOffice. PLEASE do not use AO3 to write your stories into directly. It has NOTHING.

#writing #ao3 #I love AO3 but it's NOT made for this #it's made to archive stuff #I have lost precious stories before back before autosave was a thing #and I cannot imagine anyone willfully choosing to just not protect their writing like that #there are so many safer ways to write

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing! #the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london! #oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!! #this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

For those of you watching the death spiral of Twitter in real time THIS IS WHY us fandom olds always defend AO3 and it’s donation drives.

Twitter is an incalculable loss for artistic expression, news, and so many other facets I can’t even begin to count.

This sort of loss of information is impossible with AO3 and how it’s set-up. Obviously an AO3 style model isn’t sustainable for every site bc the moment images get involved the server costs skyrocket exponentially, but now more than ever the theory applies.

AO3 is an archive of our own, donators have direct say via vote about what happens to the site, you help shape it.

As long as AO3 has donation drives and doesn’t rely on advertisers it will remain around as a foremost place of art and freedom of expression. What happened to Twitter can’t happen to AO3 as it currently exists. And that is why we fight tooth and nail to protect AO3 from corporate interests and out of touch billionaires like Musk.

I hate that Twitter is dying and that anyone has to experience it, but please learn from this experience!

How I use Ao3...

Search: *pairing or tag*

⬇️

Filter what I *don't* want (often easier than filtering for what I do want).

⬇️

Open a million likely looking tabs (summaries/tags are important!) from list provided.

⬇️

Find good fic. Read.

⬇️

Hmmm, I wonder if this author has written anything else?

⬇️

Read all of authors other works

⬇️

What have THEY bookmarked? If their writing is this good, the stuff they liked must be good.

⬇️

Opens a million more likely looking tabs.

It's a rabbit hole folks.

“shut up and fuck me already,” you say, frustrated and annoyed. your partner breaks the sloppy mess of a kiss to look at you, his lips curling into a snarky smirk. “can’t be patient, can you?” he mutters, his hot, panting breaths grazes on your skin as he pulls your body more into his. “I know I’m hot, but I didn’t know to you im irresistible,”

“don’t get it to far into that head, bird brain.” you bite back as you hear his annoying voice chuckle at your eagerness. His hand grips your neck as he forces your eyes to look into his, his hips grinding into you..

“always for you, sweetheart.”

Notice about my fanfics and advice to authors to protect their fics!

I will unfortunately have to take down some of my fics. Recently this message was sent from this person

The fics that I write are based off of my original already published fiction only changed up to fit into the fandoms I want to share my stories with because I want people who can't read my published works be able to read them for free in other ways

Plagarizing from my fics means the person is plagerizing from my works and thus will get sued.

For those of you who are wenclair writers, please be advised someone like this is going around and possibly stealing ideas from your fanfics as well!

Spread the word so you can protect your fics!

It seems that nowadays people can't share anything for free without being taken advantage for it. I will be taking down my fics. I apologize to everyone who genuinely enjoyed them but this sort of behavior is not alright.
