for-profit companies and publishers using ao3 being down to promote their for-profit books and services is disgusting. It is just a blocklist to me atp

(Let me be doomy and gloomy for a moment) I am so wary and uncomfortable with how visible the fanfic community is now a days. Too much spotlight and the wrong people start looking our way, people who are more than happy to try and rip our communities apart

Unsurprising that nuance is dead but the website that scrapped ao3 and is trying to charge $ for fanworks is SO VASTLY DIFFERENT than fans sharing epubs and PDFs with other fans.
Acting like these are equivalent is a misrepresentation and actually not helpful.
plz do not give these sites your information. i beg
Every time an AO3-scraped site pops up and everyone starts issuing DMCAs or using the site’s forms to take their work down, I just rip my hair out.
Do not ever do this. It is almost ALWAYS an attempt to prey on your emotions to get your email or other data. Report to OTW and let them handle it.
OTW is on the case now, as it happens. Just breathe.

all this crazy behavior since ao3 went down is another example why fandom should have stayed for the fun crazy people and never have reached the insane crazy and fake moralist people

Found an interesting, if long winded substack that uses the Ao3 downtime happening at the same time of that HP fic being repurposed as a novel as a starting point to talk about the shift of fandom culture from gift economy to a transactional one

my thoughts on this whole downloading fics things is a) ao3 has always had the notificable option to download fics, b) people who have survived or know about fic purges and mass deletions are going to want to save any fic they like, c) the fact that it took the longest shutdown
Truly. please stop making consumption your personality trait AND GO TOUCH SOME GRASS. Make things. Hang out with your Friends. Do things that don't involve endless consumption , please
you can live without reading fics for a month……. you dont need to scramble to go on some random person’s drive and read there or beg someone for a link….
