It's so crazy to me how people don't realise this. You can easily spend 2 years writing a fic. I have. And someone who's spent a few hours reading will come and moan to you because they feel disrespected or exploited or whatever. Like if anyone is being exploited it's the WRITER.
when the discussion on was about the difference in behavior re: fanart and fanfics, i was thinking about how fanart is a time commitment for the artist but not for the viewer and that's where the difference is. now, that post about "respecting the readers time" proves my point

I don't even like anything in there personally but they get coins from me for being the only big UK beauty brand to stand openly for Palestine. So if you get/got a Lush gift....this is why.
Five years after pulling off Meta, TikTok, and X, Lush is posting $982M in revenue. While the rest of the ad industry spent $117B on social ads last year, Lush proved brands don't actually need to pay Big Tech to drive retail traffic. Here's how they replaced paid reach πŸ‘‡

Actually, this is good. People who’s like β€œI use ao3 every day but I’d NEVER donate” and β€œauthors SHOULD—” or β€œI don’t read WIPs and I don’t comment or leave kudos”, etc etc etc, can use this time from reflection Anyway, thank you ao3 volunteers, you are awesome
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/

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! READ CAREFULLY GUYS AND BE CAUTIOUS!
Earlier today, we detected evidence of a security incident on #AO3. We are still in the early stages of investigating. No AO3 data has been deleted. All your works, bookmarks, kudos, etc., are safe. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…

Excellent investigative journalism catching Israel red handed.
Huge news! For 3 years @SohanDsouza & I have investigated a covert paid ad campaign pushing anti-Muslim, anti-migrant & anti-Qatar hate speech across Europe, Lebanon & the US. Today we publish Manufacturing the β€œGreat Replacement”: 533M recorded exposures in 30 countries. 1/25

if ao3 means so much to you and is such a big part of your daily life that you feel the weight of its absence now, let it also be a reminder about the importance of leaving kudos and comments even if its just a simple "i loved this!" to show writers you care about their hard work

ao3 going down for a month is an awfully apt conclusion to the past two weeks of people acting weird towards fic writers

Dear lord the fics being posted on day one of A03 coming back after a month is going to look like tsunami. So many fics will get lost in the flood.

AO3 IS RUN BY VOLUNTEERS they do not get paid for any of this. be kind, patient, and respectful to the volunteers who work hard to keep ao3 running, fight against censorship, and protect writers, fanfics, and people’s rights/freedom to write whatever they want, however they want

in case anyone needs a refresher: you can paste a fics URL into the wayback machine and read it as if you are on AO3. only catch is that newer fics are less likely to be archived.
SORRY WHAT DO YU MEAN NO AO3 FOR POTENTIALLY TWO WEEKS???

Ok. Well I guess I’ll get to that stack of books I recently bought but that’ll only hold me over for a few days.

I spiritually blame A03 going down for 2-4 weeks on all those nasty people that constantly complain about what fic writers do. You brought us here with your bad juju.
