At this point I've said literally everything that could be said about my opinion in multiple tweets and replies to people, so I think it's time for me to step away and go do something that actually makes me happy with friends. That said, one last thing:

I have a fun little thought exercise for the "writers aren't owed attention" crowd. Let's say you are in a social circle: your house is open to these people and they keep showing up and eating the food you make.

And if you say something about it, would you be ok with people telling you that you are being selfish, it's not a big deal, why are you craving external validation? You should be cooking and feeding people out of love for the game!

Does that sound reasonable to you??? Be really fucking honest, here.

"Fanfiction is the most 'no one asked for this bullshit ever" yeah that's why AO3 is one of the sites that gets the most daily traffic on a worldwide scale with a staggering number of posted works and active users and ppl are throwing a fucking fit about it being down. Huh-uh.
exactly??? fanfiction is the most "no one asked for this" bullshit ever (and i'm saying that as an author myself). you don't write it because you live a loveless miserable life and need attention like these losers, you do it to get the cool idea out of your head.

Girl, good for you don't live a loveless miserable loser life and you are ok with throwing your cool ideas out of your head and straight into a void of no feedback whatsoever. Other writers aren't you, though. And you sound like an humongous asshole right now.

I have news for you, dawg: THIS is part of the communal aspect I was referring to. I don't understand why you are acting like I've said something wild. I stand by my point: If people never offer ANYTHING in return to fan creators if not negativity and snark, they should get out
โ€œcommunal aspect of fandomโ€ Dawg I just wanna write shit that maybe people might enjoy. And then get recommendations on stories I might enjoy from a subreddit somewhere Itโ€™s not healthy to treat it this way

If all someone can offer is deriding writers, shitting on them, complaining they can't offer 'critique' (=being bullies) without receiving backlash, never EVER bother to offer one single comment of appreciation, then I triple stand by my point: Get. The Fuck. Out. Of fandoms.

Idk man, I guess the current โ€œdiscourseโ€ around fanfiction feels so disingenuous because it presupposes every writer cares about stats when in actuality most writers care about getting to geek out about their writing will fellow fandom buddies. And readers donโ€™t wanna be buddies-
Tl;dr: community involves all parties, and Iโ€™m really tired of seeing so many readers talk about how fandom is community driven when you guys donโ€™t treat writers as a part of that community. Writers are not upset about credit, theyโ€™re upset about being reduced to content.

Where the fuck is this "IT's aN ArCHiVe" stupid ass argument even coming from. It's a fanfiction archive. FAN-fiction. Why are you treating your fellow fans who provide you with free stuff like this. Where are these levels of smug entitlement coming from. What is happening.

"hey guys I don't feel comfortable with my works being shared outside of Ao3 because I feel like whatever little amount of social interaction I could've gotten out of it might be lost" "Why are you so petit bourgeois"
itโ€™s been eye opening to see how many fic writers are petite bourgeois about a hobby from which they make no money

Jesus guys how can you be so fucking selfish as to wish for *check notes* human interaction with your fellow fans reading your works. Despicable.

You people are clowning on fic writers talking about their struggle with the lack of engagement (that only 'pays' in kudos and comments) while glazing the indiscriminate sharing done by accounts who might actually monetarily gain from the tractions their tweets are getting

The entitlement and disrespect being show is staggering, and its been like, 2 days. Lowkey starting to think I might private my fics for a good long while once the site is back up. You people don't deserve shit, this is embarrassing.
