their sex scene will be generational
Bruce Wayne could possibly lose his Virginity in “THE BATMAN PART II” as the movie adds a David Thackeray (Intimacy Coordinator) to the crew! (thanks to @SWNM98 for the find)

for anyone struggling with the whole “fanfic writers don’t own their works” concept, i strongly suggest reading this legal article, which explores the blurred lines between copyright infringement, derivative works, and the rights fanfiction writers may hold over their own original contributions. there is a fundamental difference between owning the intellectual property your work is based on and holding rights to the original writing you’ve created. fanfiction writers do not own the characters or worlds they borrow, but that does not automatically mean their own creative contributions are devoid of copyright protection. the distinction matters. digitalcommons.lmu.edu/cgi/v…

Ao3 discourse reminding me that it is VERY funny that fanart is treated as proof of skill for portfolios or a legitimate source of income (patreon/artist alley) but fan writers are all supposed to be possessed by Marx because 20 years ago Anne Rice was in possession of nukes

It's been obvious to me for a long time that a lot of readers don't have any idea why writers write. That's why they immediately interpret "engagement" to mean "fame" or "compensation" rather than community, and the interaction between perceiver and perceived. +
most fic writers don’t want engagement to “get famous” or anything. it’s just that when you put your heart into something, it feels good to know people liked and enjoyed it. it also helps motivation to write more. if you ignore fic writers, there won’t be any more fics to read🤷‍♀️

Everyone wants to dunk on this writer but if an artist was unhappy with their art being dumped into a drive and shared by others, we’d all be understanding. You can save images from just about any app or site, but we don’t tell artists to never upload.
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

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/
