You're an Ao3 writer. Here's a non exhaustive list of things you can't do:
-Can't be sad if you get no comments
-Can't talk about getting no comments
-Can't talk about getting comments
-Can't be happy about getting comments
-Can't take too long to update
-Can't update too often

“You uploaded your fic to a site that has a download button on the page, you consented to it being downloaded” yeah, I don’t care if someone saves my fic to read later or read somewhere without WiFi, but that sure as hell wasn’t me consenting for my content to be redistributed.

the ao3 reposting discourse is whatever atp and if you’re arguing that there’s credit, ao3 has a dl button, it’s a compliment, etc, i get it, but the fact that now i’m seeing so many people straight up say “you posted your work on the internet so its no longer yours <3” is INSANE

need to reiterate sooo bad that downloading fics is NOT the problem - it's great! the issue is reuploading people's work to public sites. if ao3 was still up and someone took your fic and reposted the entire thing under their username, you absolutely would not be happy about it.
I DON'T consent to my fics being uploaded onto websites. I know they already have w/o permission&I don't feel comfortable with it.
I know people will share fics with friends or privately, but I ask for you to please remove my fics from Google Drives.
You can also reach out to me.
Thinking about how we were going to get more SSBL, Ilya and Shane, and now we aren't, and I am okay. Perfectly okay. @stickyslut17 ,,,

Re: Sharing of downloaded fics due to AO3 outage
Pls try your best to find the authors of fics you read while we’re surviving on pdf of fics. Writers are already sad when they publish on ao3 and receive little feedback. Now their fics are shared around completely untethered to

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/
#AO3 maintenance is in progress. We expect it to take at least 12 hours, but it may take longer. We will provide updates as necessary. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…

“doesn’t mean we have to accept-“ the concept of ‘don’t like don’t read’ has officially died

Yash made three of the dumbest movies in BB history and I’m not even exaggerating - I cannot take his dumbass seriously #bb28
Yash says Melody should have basically played for second place and kept him. Says Melody's game was the second worst and Taylor was the worst. #bb28

what's with ppl recently and their obsession with wanting to bully tf out of fic writers and then playing victim when they receive an ounce of pushback cuz ppl don't like, y'know, being bullied unprovoked by internet strangers

why do people salivate at the idea of telling fic writers how bad their writing is
