i do think being in a tiny fandom is prophylactic against a lot of ao3 author complaints. like no kudos in 2-4 weeks? yeah that sounds right

I saw someone complaining about fics being shared but like... the epub feature is built into ao3 so I don't really get it tbh

you do know the end of every downloaded fic is this note. It links back to the original url. It’s not like people somehow are trying to circumvent giving you clicks and kudos and comments- the downloads are literally set up to encourage reader interaction.
am I too woke of a fic writer to be a little conflicted about fics being downloaded to personal drives without the author’s knowledge and shared/read without the author gaining any site engagment or is this something I should brush off and get over /gen

Getting a bunch of boomers to sell their homes and move onto a boat, just for the person they voted for to start a war that makes the fuel for the boat too expensive, and then the boomers get marooned in another country, now unable to afford new housing in this economy HOLY BASED
Passengers have been kicked off an “endless” cruise as the operator blames a massive jump in fuel costs Some paid $120,000 for residency on the Villa Vie Odyssey, but have been left in Cambodia

also yeah like. australia recently banned across the board surcharges (ie. you need to actually be able to pay the price listed on the menu/price sheet/whatever) so maybe im a little spoiled but come on

"here's some important tips for young trans women who might not be used to socializing much!" and it's just "give me money" over and over. you even have a "if you mess up somehow, tip me extra" entry. fucking joke country.
im gonna start a new Bar-Goer’s Etiquette tweet series for young trans girls attending girls nights both at my bars and across the country bc a lot of u seem to just Not Know Shit, and that’s fine! but it’s a nightmare to serve you lol

I don't think this is a responsible business model for places selling The Liquid That Impairs Your Judgement to have
Replying to @texturedprotein
follow-up step: Stop Paying After Every Drink! this is a majorly time-wasting nuisance. open a tab, pay when you’re done for the night. you are slowing your bartender down drastically for no reason if it’s already busy. especially if you aren’t tipping well lmao???

An all-transmasc Ironman trio just won 3rd place in a major men's triathlon, beating over 200 other men's teams. 🏊‍♂️🏃‍🚴‍♂️ Trans men win men's competitions all the time, but media doesn't pays attention because it doesn't fit their narrative. I think we should celebrate trans men's victories, too! 🏆

her going “me when i pull the door handle and it shatters” has me in tears
A brand-new employee made a smashing start to her career at a Texas salon, as the glass sliding door she was closing exploded into hundreds of tiny pieces, leaving her client and other employees stunned.

some of us like to read things that are actually good because good writing is enjoyable and bad writing is not. hope this helps.
lots of discourse about writing quality in fanfic, while i think the real question is why it would even matter in the first place. fanfiction is an amateur space for people to make up stories about the characters they love. why are you searching for the next booker prize here?
