I'm begging the "If you don't want people to do whatever the fuck they want with YOUR work then don't post it in a public place " crowd to explain to me what they expect the natural consequences of defending and upholding this position might be. I'll wait.

The entitlement is honestly baffling. Authors spend hours, days, sometimes months writing stories for free, and somehow people have convinced themselves that they're owed those stories in whatever format, on whatever platform. You're readers, not owners. Act accordingly.

yes, and fanfiction is supposed to be a dialogue among fans, not a performance consumed by a faceless audience...we writers like to engage with comments because we are fans also, and kudos are just a "hey thanks for the cookie" type gesture. basic manners, y'all

Its not social media, but if you don't engage with the fics you read in any way or form then you can't be surprised later when authors stop writing you your little bedtime stories

No anonymous speech. No anonymous research. No anonymous worship. No anonymous assembly.
That is what online digital ID means.
And once the state knows who you are and what you read, freedom of speech becomes permission to speak.
Permissions can be revoked.

hey everyone:) it is my first day volunteering for ao3. i'm in charge of the shut down button. all i have to do is make sure it Never Gets Pushed. So excited!!!

everyone losing their fucking minds over ao3 being down had better start commenting and leaving kudos on the fics they read when it comes back.
you can’t harass writers, treat their work like disposable content, and then throw a tantrum when your nightly smut is suddenly unavailable.
let your writers know that you appreciate them!
