I've been doing a bit of travelling lately, which got me thinkingβ¦
If you could take your favourite fictional characters on a road trip, who would you choose?
π Who's driving
πΊοΈ who's navigating
π΅ who's in charge of the playlist
I feel like some of our favourite characters would be absolute nightmares to travel with πππ

π¬ Softies, you can turn ONE fic into a film or TV series. Which one are you choosing?
Are you making it an Oscar-winning movie, a six-part drama or a full five-season marathon? ππΏπ
Letβs go softies!
Letβs do our thing and tag our top authors from this month.
Itβs been a rough week for everyone, but authors especially, so letβs share the love! π
Top fics imported on softgoods in October!

π Softies, a little SoftGoods reminder while AO3 is down!
You can still add fics to your library, even if you can't import directly from AO3.
π Search by title: If another Softie has already added the fic to SoftGoods, just type its name into the search and select the correct one. All the fic details will populate automatically, just like an AO3 import!
βοΈ Add manually: If the fic isn't in SoftGoods yet, you can still enter its details yourself. It takes a little longer, but you don't have to wait for AO3 to return.
π And you can also import using Wattpad links, FanFiction[.]net links, other supported fanfiction sites and Google Drive.
π£ A little reminder: Please make sure you have the author's permission before importing or sharing their work through Google Drive.
The AO3 shutdown doesn't have to mean putting your SoftGoods library on hold. π
A little love for the archive that gives us so much. ππ
With AO3 facing a long road to recovery, we're thinking about the people behind the archive, too.
AO3 is run by volunteers through the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW). It's a home for millions of fanworks, built and maintained by people who believe fan-created stories deserve a place to exist.
If you're in a position to give something back, you can support the OTW through donations.
Every contribution helps support the work that keeps AO3 going.
There's absolutely no pressure if you can't donate. Sharing the archive, supporting authors and being part of the community matter hugely too.
Let's show the people behind the archive some love. π«Άππ

ππ #OctoberRollCall is here! ππ»
Let's see what your reading month looked likeβ¦ if you dare. π
π©Έ Did you read a scarily high number of words?β¨π How many fics did you slain this month?β¨π» Which fic is still haunting your thoughts?β¨π How many TBR monsters did you defeat?β¨π·οΈ What was your favourite read of October?
Share as much or as little as you like!
Whether you devoured a terrifying TBR or barely escaped with one fic finished, there's a place for you here. π₯°π
This is a great idea from Hanna!
Please think about doing this so you can go back and give credit to the authors you read off line this coming month π
Had to make a new shelf so I can keep track of what I read while AO3 is down. If not I won't remember who to go back and to leave kudos aand comments to.
Thank you @softgoodsapp for helping me in this hard time.
Softies. Since the AO3 apocalypse will be lasting a little longer than we hoped⦠what are we doing with ourselves?!
Are youβ¦
π Rereading an old favourite?β¨π₯ Diving into your pre downloaded fics?β¨π Finally tackling that WIP you've been meaning to write?β¨βοΈ Beta reading or editing?β¨π Sorting your SoftGoods shelves?β¨
Or have you found another way to survive the great fic drought?
Tell us what you're doing! It might give someone else an idea for getting through this. π

While we wait for AO3 to return, let's give ourselves something else to scream about. ππ
Softies, in the spirit of Halloween, it's time to air some grievances. π
Which character death will you NEVER forgive the author for? ππͺ¦
The character you still mourn, the death that made you gasp, or maybe the author you have still not forgiven.
Who are you naming? π π
(And please add a spoiler warning if needed!)
SOFTGOODS UPDATE: Since a lot of us are using Google Drive as a temp archive while ao3 is down, I added support for Drive links.
Click share on an epub, pdf, or html file in a public Drive, drop it into SoftGoods, & click save.
It will not only save the link to the Drive but also try to find the original ao3 link and put that under the additional links.
Let me know if you have any issues and I will try to fix it tomorrow. π
Please check out the latest status from ao3 π

So... I think it's a good time to remind that I have a little HR epub archive with just over 300 fics saved if anybody needs something to read!

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/
