My favorite thing about fanfic is watching a writer go through all 5 stages of grief as their fluffy one-shot inexplicably becomes a 100k-word novel.

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

Ao3 going down and then up and then down again is making me realize I would genuinely be done for if ao3 was permanently deleted

[fisshil]

Thank you to our beloved, tireless, and dedicated Ao3 staff in these trying times. We would be nothing without you 😔💖

[foibles-fables]

so when AO3 comes back up you’re all gonna leave some appreciative comments on your favorite works, since you missed them so much during the downtime, right?

…………right?

small thing I'd like to add here is that there is no bad fic as long as it's done with love <3

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

I think disability justice would be easier if abled people understood that being disabled is a mixture of all three of

I can’t do that without negative consequences

I can’t do that unless I have support for it

I can’t do that

and that trying to treat one of these as if it’s another one will get you nowhere.
