I’ve never seen this one before and it just punched me in the fucking face.
Just like Knuckles did to Sonic

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times
Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus
remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play
As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it
hey wanna know a secret
Read more
yeah what is it
its behind the read more button
nothin there
Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.
I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.

when you see a tumblr poll with this picture attached and you know it's time to lock the fuck in lest you get a bad grade in an impromptu absurdist pop quiz you didn't know you were about to take
new fanfic writer who has marked their work completed ao3 only to leave a note at the end saying: thanks for all the support guys if you want to read the rest of the fic subscribe to my patreon :)
me, an elder fandom veteran, suddenly having anne rice flashbacks:
no.
NO.
starting to rock back and fourth.
you do not understand.
you were born into an age of peace. i was there Gandalf. i was there three thousand years ago. i remember the cease and desists. i remember authors hunting fanfic writers for sport. i remember when every fic opened with a disclaimer because we genuinely thought it might protect us.
we do not charge money for the copyrighted gay wizard stories.
do not tempt fate youngling.
step away from the paywall.
that is how you summon the ancient evils.
that is how you wake the lawyers.
Remember people, this is against AO3s terms of service. If you see a fic that does this REPORT THAT THING!!! These people may not know better or they might, but them doing this has the potential to ruin things for everyone.
Tell the writer to read the TOS. Writers absolutely CANNOT ask for payment in exchange for fanfic. If they won't take it down ASAP, report it to AO3.
I feel like people in the notes have lost the plot a bit.
The key point here should be that volunteers did not spend countless hours building a free ad platform for obnoxious grind culture influencers who think every hobby is a moneymaking opportunity. If you want ad space, PAY FOR IT, on a platform that allows you to do that, just like every other entrepreneur.
There's nothing wrong with setting up your book kiosk and selling books at a flea market. AO3 is NOT a flea market. It's a non-profit public library.
.
I see people in the notes saying fanfic should never be monetized ever on principle because it's morally wrong to do so. That's a bit ridiculous and out of touch.
Our entire media landscape at the moment is made up of monetized fanfic. That Odyssey adaptation starring Matt Damon is a bad greek mythology fanfic that's been monetized. That lovely Frankenstein adaptation Guillermo Del Toro released is also fanfic. That new spiderman movie was written by a guy who is not the original creator of spiderman. That's another fanfic that's been monetized. These are all stories people have reimagined based on characters that already existed, that they were already fans of.
Now obviously you're going to run into legal issues if the property you're writing fanfic for is still under copyright, and the owners of that copyright are particularly litigious, but that's not the reason you shouldn't be trying to monetize fanfic on AO3 specifically.
A handful of shitty little pissants trying to exploit our beautiful archive for personal gain isn't going to get AO3 shut down, so the issue here isn't that these people pose a real danger to AO3, either.
They'll be caught, eventually, and banned.
If anything's a real danger to AO3 it's all the laws people are currently trying to enact in the USA that increasingly encroach on people's online privacy rights.
.
This is about community values.
We, as a community built AO3, with free labor, out of a particular anti-commercial, anti-monetization ethos. We wanted a space where our stories were free from corporate oversight. We wanted a space to escape having ads shoved into our eyeballs constantly. We built that space.
And you have the FUCKING AUDACITY to come into the ad-free oasis we built and try to shove ads for your shitty patreon in our faces?
Get the fuck out of our non-profit public library and take your shitty little book kiosk with you.
