the most difficult part of transferring fics onto ellipsus isn’t even the formatting (even if it is a pain in the ass), its deciding /which/ fics to share. I’ve written literally millions of words. I need ao3 back up again this is too much (no one is forcing me to do this)

one of the fluffiest things I’ve ever written: best kept secret, a teacher!PeterMJ au ellipsus.com/read/5rssxSee4a…
while I’ve been in fandom long enough to know that the love for my post-BND longfic is special, I can’t lie… the response on ellipsus is making me consider transferring over more fics. if for nothing else, for me to know my words exist somewhere no matter what.

another one: nothing left to lose, a DC/MCU crossover with a twist— Dick Grayson POV, meeting Peter, Ned and MJ post-NWH ellipsus.com/read/6QRXJmnCUR…

another: in cold light, a different take on the “skip fic” — I find it deeply offensive that a PSA comic about Peter’s healing and survival, has become one about Tony Stark as a savior. This is my attempt to rectify that. ellipsus.com/read/6h5Rx3VaNH…

maybe I should start a thread until then, here’s When May Met Sally: a MCU/PJO crossover in Sally’s POV, centered on her friendship with May Parker as they raise their two boys from New York ellipsus.com/read/6nLe1GHeBZ…

anyway here’s “the doppler effect” — a Morgan Stark POV set 10 years after NWH, wanting to better understand her dad and decides the best way to get an unbiased opinion would be to find Spider-Man ellipsus.com/read/V7fbxIII5C…

“choose not to use warning” IS a warning. too many people confuse this as being the same as “no archive warnings apply” but that is not anyone else’s fault but their own.
fic writing question of the day: you're writing a fic where one of the main characters dies but you don't wanna spoil the ending. do you tag main character death or do you choose not to archive warnings? it feels wrong not to tag it but at the same time, what if that spoils it??

Fanfic being viewed as content to be consumed with no expectation of direct connection to the writer makes sense when we realize it comes from the generation that grew up watching YouTube, seeing community as talking with each other vs. talking directly to the creator.

I think this perfectly encapsulates the fundamental disconnect because using comments as the metric: I don’t mean community as in readers talking to each other. I mean community as readers talking to the writer who is— also— a fellow fan.
Replying to @seek_rest
I'll stand by my idea that wattpad actually has better community than ao3. it's especially obvious back in the day where you can find a bunch of ppl just chatting amongst e/o on a comment to a random line. I think what went wrong is that ao3's system leaves comments way out of

Like I do in fact scroll down to read what others are saying about a fic but even if I didn’t, the comments aren’t about what what others are saying to each other— it’s a conversation between the reader and the writer.

years ago, I argued that the fandom ecosystem was destroyed when people started seeing fanfic as content to consume vs. being in community with fellow fans. This entire discourse has proven me right.
what i can't figure out about fanfic engagement discourse is why so many of you are so dead set on not showing any appreciation for the stories you spend your time reading. you don't feel a smidge of gratitude? you don't feel even a hint of the need to share your thanks?

sorry to wreckage of you nation I guess. my weekly update plan just bit me in the ass if ao3 is gonna be down for 2-4 weeks. I guess that gives me more time to write even more ahead??

I’m sorry did I read that correctly. AO3 is going to be down for TWO-FOUR WEEKS?????????
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/

Not to complain about irondad fandom again but I will: the character assassination of both Peter and Tony becoming “established fanon” to the point of any meaningful critique/commentary/analysis of their CANON relationship launching a firestorm of attacks is abjectly miserable 🫩

Like “he would not fucking say that” x1000! And sure, have fun in your fanfic ig but using FANON as a way to shut down CANON commentary is so fucking annoying. Pasta nights aren’t real! Bambino isn’t real! Crying cuddling Peter isn’t real! It doesn’t HAVE to be, but good FUCK +

I’ve stayed away from Doomsday speculation because I’m fairly confident the plot (along with Secret Wars) is obvious if you have any knowledge of the comics. That being said my one ice cold take: I want Spider-Man, specifically Peter Parker, named as an anchor being.
