These sites popping up with drafts, orphaned, anonymous and unrevealed fics in conjunction with all the other data makes it all but certain that the reason why ao3 will be down so long is because they’re patching vulnerabilities and these sites are using that data

🐸: When I receive this kind of response, I feel very, very happy.
As for the near future, I'm actually preparing my solo album. I've been recording all along. The recording is actually almost finished, but there's still a lot of music creation, creative work and album
I'm actually losing my mind.
tweet: Don't steal or I won't share my work with you.
quotes: How dare you say I'm not a real fan!!
???
yes I'm mad! I'm frustrated and I'm also right! You can't read or use your brains. You need every single little thing to have every single caveat you can think of, and when it inevitably doesn't you go "ha! fucking gotcha!!"

How you react to this tweet is a literacy test. This person explicitly says supporting fan artists and writers is participating. They’re saying those who DONT do that shouldn’t have a say in the work. That’s it!! No one can fucking read!

if you download fanfic someone made freely available just to repost or mass share it elsewhere without their consent i hope you get nothing but slop moving forward. some of you are mean and entitled and have zero respect for the people making fandom fun for you

the whole ao3 discourse is just exhibit number 3848 of how little people care about writers cause apparently mass sharing their fics without consent is fine but writers saying interactions are nice and encouraging makes them corporate villains somehow

The goalposts are going to continue to move, by the way.
They’re all clinging to “there’s no way they got millions of fics from drives” because “shit, obviously this is an ongoing issue and all insecure sources of fic are likely part of the puzzle” would require self-reflection.
It's really this simple and basic. Some ppl out here melting down like toddlers over being told its polite to say thank you to the nice person holding the door open for you at the supermarket
It would be nice to be considered part of the community too. When we ask "hey can you please not reupload our work during this short break" we get thinkpieces like this calling us capitalistic clout chasers.
You can make as many intellectual sounding threads about fandom as a whole but at the end of the day you are justifying treating supposed members of your community like shit.
