For anyone who might be writing fic in order to raise money/donations for a cause, please remember not to mention that anywhere on AO3. It is against the Terms of Service to charge money for fic, even if that money is not going to you, personally. Please donât mention commissions or donations or fundraising or patreon or kofi etc etc in a fic or on your profile. â€
I will boost this signal, mostly for myself because my brain is apparently a fucking colander and I canât remember shit sometimes; and also add, if youâre the one who commissioned a fic, donât mention that on ao3 either. Not even in your bookmarks! I forget other people can see my notes there. Please donât get your writing friends in trouble, like I almost did a couple of times :(Â
Just say âi asked for this pairing/trope/continuation/whateverâ Donât say âi commissioned thisâ.
