One thing that does irk me about fan responses to Ao3 being down, and not just this particular time, is the emphasis on how they cannot go without their bedtime fanfics but the majority of readers do not give their favorite fics or writers the engagement they deserve.

Time and time again, I see my friends or writers I follow myself feel hurt by the lack of reader engagement and this culture of consuming-fanfic-as-content and not as labors of love you wish to create a community around and celebrate with each other… I wish it were different.

This is gonna be the thing to get me to lock in and finish up the Ormundaeron canonverse fic I have brewing… 🧘
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/

art school day one lesson: critique is consensual and it NEVER focuses solely on the negative. critique is done for the benefit of the artist, with their consent, it is not spouting your personal opinions without permission. you do not know anything about critique.
fanfiction is a form of writing, which means it’s a form of art, whether it wants to be considered as such or not; should art/writing be subject to critique only when it’s serious and being sold? how can you create something and then refuse to have it discussed, judged or valued?

please don't be afraid to comment on fics! it is not embarrassing. the author is not scary. they will not get annoyed if it's long and rambly or just a sentence. if you like something, praise it where the author can see it! you have no idea how much it motivates us.
maybe not an ick but i always get annoyed when i see someone reccing a fic here or on tiktok and there are dozens of comments praising it but then i click on the fic and it has five comments😬 like maybe show ur appreciation to the writer too not just ur twitter followers

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

Growing up is realizing there's no such thing as a Good Fandom and sometimes the best option is to enjoy your blorbos only with your inner circle

“It was a blessing that you came to ward in Oldtown. Your brothers are lost, but you… remain a Hightower, raised in the shadow of the Citadel, in the light of the Starry Sept. Now… you must be king.”

Rewatching HOTD S3 bits and been jotting down Ormundaeron’s dialogue (and dialogue about them) and the gestures they do for writing purposes, and the sheer amount of material they gave us makes me SO giddy. We truly won with them.

I’m still here BTW.
I’ll forever be fascinated by Ormund’s self soothing techniques, and him also momentarily pausing each time he loses it when Daeron obviously reacts badly.
