“ao3 should have recommendation features!”

That’s what community is for! Ao3 doesn’t owe you shit. Ao3 is but a filing cabinet in the big beautiful office of tumblr. You all need to clock in and start engaging in fandom culture again and then you’ll get those sweet sweet fanfiction recs.

It literally has a recommendation feature.

The heart icon is a recommendation rather than just a bookmark. It's literally there already. The feature exists.

What they don't - and shouldn't - have is an algorithm that shoves fics you might like into your face. That's not a recommendation, that's an algorithmic advertisement devoid of heart or soul or mind.

If you would like to find recs for fics you might like, go into the comments or bookmarks of a fic you like, click on the usernames of people who have commented or bookmarked it, and look at their bookmarks and recommendations. Chances are good if you both liked this fic, they will have read other things you will like, too. If they've bookmarked/recommended the fic you both liked, chances are good they have bookmarked/recommended other fics you might like.

I'm not saying don't engage with the community. You should definitely do that and people who cross platforms and write detailed recs for fics or make rec lists are part of the lifeblood of fandom. I'm just saying that there are multiple ways to engage with the community, and one of them is using AO3's recommendation feature. Recmark those fics and leave a comment so other readers can find fics they might like. Then go make a post with a link- there's even a button for doing that effortlessly if you just want to generate a simple post with the fic info!

if there’s one thing 90s scifi loves it’s bdsm-coding its villains

the intention: being a sex freak is a marker of evilness and moral perversion

the effect: millions now want to be abducted and sexually tortured by hot leather-clad aliens

clementine-kesh

though to be fair to 90s scifi writers i think a lot of them also wanted to be abducted and sexually tortured by hot leather-clad aliens because scifi writers in general are massive perverts. two things can be true at once etc etc

talking to outdoor cat defenders like

crabussy

someone in the reblogs said “letting mittens outside to kill a few birds is fine because britain’s ecosystems are already decimated to the point where they barely exist anymore”. I’m genuinely so perplexed. you think it’s fine? to let cats kill vulnerable native birds? because they’re already endangered so it doesn’t matter if your cat kills a few more? do you also dump your rubbish in the sea because “the oceans are already polluted, what’s a bit more”? jesus christ people. do you think mittens is the only outdoor cat in the country??? tens to hundreds of thousands of other people do this as well. it’s not a few birds. it’s hundreds of thousands of birds. you are not the only person on earth
