you're not engaging in fandom by reading a fic on a google drive you are consuming content that has been removed from the space the person who wrote it posted it on . most people don't care about being popular they care that their work means enough to engage w/ them .

back in 2013 when i was on tumblr, there was this rule about not speaking about tumblr or fanfiction irl or with "normies". it might have been cringe, but i looking back i think they had a point
Starlight Harbinger retweeted
late to this discourse but i do think 90% of fandom discourse happens bc of idiots needing to be spoonfed by other ppl what is appropriate to do and what’s not, instead of just using their own brains to think. in what world is reposting other ppl’s fics on gdrive okay, u idiots

нахуй выбесили меня все каждый раз ао3 уходит на тех работы и поднимается вой как все сейчас поубивают себя ведь так любят фанфики но как только надо вспомнить что их пишут реальные люди а не конвейер по выдаче контента так сразу ой ну вы вообще-то не имеете права вас засудят))
Starlight Harbinger retweeted
люди даже пару недель не могут продержаться без чтения фанфиков но стоит только авторам сказать, что было бы неплохо поставить им лайк, как тут же выясняется что фанфики это нарушение авторских прав и вообще вторичная хуета которая никому не нужна

If you see my fic on a public drive it did not have my permission to be there and no one asked me. Miss me w the “authors are engagement hungry” because I’m going to look thru your twt and see how many times you sad posted about <10 likes on a tweet
Idk man, I haven't decided what I'm going to do overall or if I'll continue posting (when I already write content that twtbro moral police find objectionable) but at the least I'm gonna be switching on those registered users only options. Anons are no longer welcome, I'm sorry

很多人都没明白为什么二次上传需要作者同意——想象一下某一天醒来你发现自己因为写smut和pwp被执法机关传唤,而源头是某个傻屌未经同意把你发到ao3的文章传到了其他地方被举报/泄露。
这是知情同意和自我保护的问题,懂吗!! 论坛被抄家和进局子你选哪一个???

that's such a good point actually. somehow asking for our work and boundaries to be respected is individualistic and capitalist but exploiting millions of people's work without including their creators is community. sounds like a lazy argument to me.

Ao3 is kinda how you do chemical formula writing
A - 1
O - 3
So technically its legal name is archive triof our ownide

...вы реально предполагаете, что авторки видят статистику, где чёрным по белому прочтений в двадцать раз больше лайков, и думаю ойойойой скольким же людям в трудом жизненном периоде помог мой макси на 100к слов, который они даже не лайкнули ойойойой
Starlight Harbinger retweeted
not gonna say anymore on this but when ao3 comes back up you bet your ass I'm gonna be leaving comments on every fic I read for every shitty opinion I saw over this weekend because I have free will and i certainly don't want to run the writers in my fandom out!
The whole damn thread please

at this point it's not about fanfic for me. it's about the fact so, so many of you are so comfortable being disgustingly, horrifically inconsiderate and cruel to other human beings. down to calling them parasitic, expendable, replaceable, all for expressing normal human emotion
I met my partner through engagement on my fics, bc I was invited to the fan party for my contribution to the community. Insane that people genuinely think authors shouldn't need and don't deserve community

"You don't own the rights to your fanwork anyway!" - except you do on the grounds of that work being transfromative. Ao3 has two clauses explaining how it works. Which a platform with a full team of lawyers would know something about.
Maybe ACTUALLY read that ToS next time, hm?
