Gold Star For Cathy Parr

💙 She/Her/Hers 💙 I love musicals I am a fanfic writer who needs to “sleep”, whatever that is.

Hey everyone, so its been about a week since I last posted as some of you may have noticed, I figured after a bit of dwelling over its better if I make a post like this.

I'm leaving the six fandom.

Or, well, I left the six fandom months ago, but you probably didn't notice cause I had like 100 queued posts prepared before I left.

Dont fret. My blog will still be up, I just have logged out of it and made an entirely new one. Its still up on one of my devices incase I get inspired to draw katanna or something and post it here as I still enjoy them, or in case I want to support one of my kids.

However, I will no longer be posting incorrect quotes or fics or other big things. So basically, this blog will majorly be inactive. I don't even care that I have a fully written 10k parrlyn fic finished in my docs, I'm just so tired and done with everything surrounding the six fandom. There are a lot of lovely people in it and I have met most of my best friends and online kids with it, but at the same time there are some pretty toxic and questionable people, as well as seriously triggering things in this fandom (to all the kids who ship Jane and Anne or Kat and Anne or Jane and Kat, they are all cousins. Please stop.) But yeah, after a year of being stalked, having issues with plagiarism, having my weight posted online without my consent, and getting hate anons and death threats from this fandom, I have to say I'm done making content for this fandom and possibly interacting with it all in general outside of supporting friends who are still in it. The fandom now has a sour taste in my mouth and I'm no longer hyperfixated on it, so its time I left.

Thank you queendom for the memories you gave me here on tumblr with this account. Some were really shitty, but some were also really enjoyable and have led me to meet my best friends the chaos admins, who have all also left the fandom. To my mutuals, you guys will still have me on discord servers and I already sent dms to everyone I talk with regularly about my new tumblr. If you are a mutual who I interact with and I forgot to dm you or my wifi didn't send it, feel free to dm me on discord if you want to know my new tumblr.

Goodbye Queendom,

All my love, Cassie xx

First post in months since I accidentally logged back on, just want to say, Katherine Howard deserves the world and a cookie.

That's it :)

[cathyparrlyn]

Wanted this to be my last post for a while on this blog :))))

Thank you spoopy, not a day has gone by where I have not thought of this picture and laughed about how out of all the incorrect quotes, that was the funniest addition to be added on to one.

Anyways, thats all for now, ima log off the account now that it has been about an hour.

Goodbye lovelies xx

Anna: if you woke up 7 feet tall today, would you be happy?

Cathy: yes because then I could protect Anne from the stupidity of the world.

Anne: yes because then I could fight God face to face.

Cathy: new answer, yes because I could protect Anne from the stupidity of her own actions.

[cathyparrlyn]

Anne: hey Anna, I heard Kat call you her hot spicy red baby.

Anna: excuse you! I am NOT a hot spicy red baby!

Anne: oh yeah, then what are you?

Anna: I'm a hot spicy red adult!

Kat, walks in and gives Anna a kiss on the cheek: hey there my hot spicy red baby.

Anna:

Anne:

Anna: that means nothing.

Anne: sureeeeee.

[cathyparrlyn]

Six Incorrect Quotes I made up (most likely based on convos between my friends and I.)

One guy: dude, I lift 150.

Another guy: yeah, well I lift 200.

A different guy: yeah? Well I lift 220!

One guy: hey, how much do you lift?

Anna: oh, I bench press my girlfriend for fun.

One guy: and how much does she lift?

Kat: I lift the spirits of all my friends high enough to give them all a will to live :D

The guys:

Anna: she wins?

The guys: she wins.

Cathy: You're the love of my life and my best friend, I would do anything for you.

Anne: I want you to eat three meals a day and have a decent sleep schedule.

Cathy: Absolutely not.

purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?

Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten. 

They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it. 

The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.

It’s what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty fic…AdultFanfiction was the one I went to…but thousands of fics would never be recovered. 

[systlin]

Shit like the Great Purges and the Strikethrough of Livejournal eventually led to fans banding together to create A03, which I would have absolutely KILLED for when I was 15.

[persephonebooklover]

Back up ao3 was created by fans?

[systlin]

It’s…right on the main page. 

[fanfictionanthology]

I love this because I will bet you that persefv has read that bit we are all so inundated with hyperbole and advertising that says that the consumer is somehow in charge of whatever product they are shilling that we all just assumed this was another sales tactic.

[naryrising]

But we’re not even… selling anything…  *quiet sobs*

[wrangletangle]

No ads. No subscriptions. No data selling.

We are the definition of “what it says on the tin.”

[elfwreck]

Is there any way to spread this info? 

THE OTW WAS CREATED BY FANS SO WE’D HAVE AN ARCHIVE THAT WASN’T SUBJECT TO CORPORATE REVIEW. 

Nonprofit, so that nobody could ever say, “this isn’t making enough money; it’s getting shut down.” (See: Geocities, Quizilla, Figment, G+.) With lawyers involved and a firm awareness of the legalities of fanfic, so nobody would decide “we’ve gotten a nasty letter from a megacorporation with lawyers, so we’re hiding because we can’t afford to face a lawsuit. (Jedi Hurtaholics, Trevizo’s Millennium site.) With teams, so that an argument between co-mods didn’t result in the destruction of a whole archive. (Gryffindor Tower, Detention.)

AO3 IS OUR SITE.

It is by fans, for fans. Fans do all the coding. All the legal paperwork. All the abuse/tos violation complaints. Fans make all the choices about policies. Fans decide how to run the fundraisers. Fans write the blog posts. All the volunteer staff are fans; all the people who train them are fans. Fans wrangle all the tags. 

(And the other OTW projects, too. Fans manage the entries at Fanlore. Fans run the Open Doors project. Fans publish Transformative Works and Cultures.)

EVERYONE WORKING FOR THE OTW LOVES FANDOM. Wants it to survive. Wants it to be awesome for everyone.

(Knows that it can’t be awesome for everyone; some approaches to fandom just clash hard. But they strive to minimize those clashes as much as possible, because they love fandom.) 

AO3 is not some company that decided, “we’ll make a site for fanfic and then…” I don’t know what people are thinking is the reason. Money? Data harvesting? Tax shelter? Amusement and pity?

Nope; AO3 was fans saying, “Livejournal sucks; we’re tired of this fucked-up ‘rebuild every three years’ garbage; WE NEED TO OWN THE DAMN SERVERS.”

That’s the “of our own” part of the name. OTW isn’t a “them” running the site “for us.” It’s “us” making places for “us” to share what we love with others of “us.” 

[dirtydragonthoughts]

This this this.

I was there for all of that shit, and AO3 is a godsend. If you enjoy or create fanworks, support AO3, donate if you can, and remember why it’s there in the first place!!

[olderthannetfic]

Fandom history really does get lost quickly. For current 20-something fans, AO3 has always been there.

Six Incorrect Quotes I made up (most likely based on convos between my friends and I.)

OH WAIT SHIT IM ALMOST AT 500 FOLLOWERS

Okay okay okay, so I'm like one away from 475, would anyone be interested if I did a raffle here if I get to that? Basically I would offer up rewards for first-fifth place (most likely the place I would go to) and it would vary with stuff.

I'm just curious cause I would so be down to do a raffle here x

[cathyparrlyn]
