Some of you treat writing fanfiction like a job not a fun hobby that’s why we’re having this jobless discourse right now

"sustainable model" its a hobby.........
This ao3 discourse is really highlighting to me that a lot of people genuinely believe “you will create and get nothing and be happy” is a sustainable model for fanfiction.

hey so yall know that in fan fiction yall don’t own the characters and the stories right 😭
Maybe unpopular opinion but i think more fic writers should start doing commissions and setting up like donos or something like i think that should be as common of a practice as selling fan merch and doing fanart comms

yall might just need to get friends
Fic writers who want engagement are not mining for kudos or whatever. We are people who screamed for 20,000 words about our ship and now WE WANNA TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT!! When we say we want interaction, we mean we want to talk about the thing we both like!

this is frying me
In light of recent ao3 related events, I have stumbled upon a website that I think authors need to be made aware of.  The website ao3 [DOT] life has been scraping and downloading fics published to ao3 for who knows how long. 🧵

No, we don't sort by kudos. We read the summary and the tags.
also like doesn’t the fact that people Mostly sort by hits/kudos/bookmarks just defeat the “authors can only write for the love of the game” argument? like we *know* how fan communities decide value and popularity. the snake is eating its own tail.

ITS ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS I FEEL LIKE ITS BEEN A WEEK IM IN HELL
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
