AO3 is not social media and we gotta stop treating fandom like a popularity contest. Kudos are nice, but they aren't gonna keep you warm at night. Hits are nice, but they don't pay my bills. Some of y'all need to relax and quit focusing so much on "stats." It's not a competition.

What i'm learning is that there's a class of AO3 writers who really think they belong to a different class of fans. They don't see themselves as fans sharing creativity with other fans, but as Writers doing a "service" to fandom. To which "non-writers" should be grateful for+

Благодаря тому, что ао3 схлопнулся, вскрылось гнилое болото неуверенных в себе потреблядей, которые в виду своей интеллектуальной и эмоциональной немощности не способны поставить просто лайк на фанфик, чтобы сказать автору, что его работа нравится и чтоб он продолжал

People saying AO3 readers are unemployed is so funny when the reality is most of us are using AO3 specifically to cope with the tragedy of being employed

"The most unemployed person you know is upset about AO3." Babe, one of the most brilliant writers in my fandom is a surgeon. Go outside and touch grass.

i think some of you are too young to remember the “I don’t own *original IP* or the characters. All rights belong to the creator. I gain no profit from this body of work.” disclaimer that was copy-pasted onto the start of every fanfic. bc wdym you think you “own” your fanfic 😭
