Ok extra context from your friendly neighborhood Master's Degree holding archivist:

Archives are "curated" according to what's called a "collection policy". That means a policy that dictates what you collect; usually along a theme. For example at the university I used to work at the collection policy was to collect archival material pertaining to the local area and its history/important figures. At the historic home I currently work at, the collection policy covers materials pertaining to the person who lived at the house.

AO3 collects fan works and original writing. That's it. That's how they "curate". They don't allow a copy paste of published works (for legal reasons) and they don't allow commissioned works (for legal reasons) . Everything else that falls under fan works and original writing is part of their collection policy. Everything. That's how archives work.

Also, as a professional digital archivist who maintains digital archives FOR A LIVING, do NOT come into my house and disparage how the OTW is maintaining the Archive. What they are doing, for free & with no paid staff, is a fucking miracle. It is not exaggerating to say real actual digital archives take notes of their infrastructure and maintenance. (Hi it’s me, I plan with a colleague to reach out to OTW to ask for advice on starting a new digital archives soon.)

Anyway, I’ll remind everyone once again that the AO3 software code is open source. If you do not like the OTW’s collection policy, you are free to build an identical site on your own servers and create a different collection policy for that one. They’ll probably even give you advice on how to do it successfully. Nobody is forcing you to use AO3 to archive your works or to find reading material. So fuck off and quit bitching about AO3. AO3 existing does not have to impact you in any way, the fact you’re acting like a martyr over it just makes you look like a child.

During this Pride Month, which has very much come from America to us, I'd like to tell you about some of Finnish queer history:

1903 Aino Malmberg published the first known lesbian short story in Finland, named "ystävyyttä" ("friendship").

1963 Christer Kihlman publishes a break trough novel Den blå modern ("blue mother"). One of the book's themes is homosexuality, and the book ended up winning the national literary price.

1966 Ilkka Taipale publishes a book "Sukupuoleton Suomi" ("genderless Finland"). In it a lawyer Herbert Gumpler criticizes the law that criminalized gay acts, because it left gay people vulnerable to extortion and violence.

1968 Keskusteluseura Psyke becomes the first registered queer association. It later starts to publish a magazine "96" for queer people.

These literary works and formal associations might seem boring compared to the "first pride was a riot" we hear from America. But the truth is that these published materials slowly moved people's opinions, and in 1971 "gay acts" were no longer a crime.

Also reminder that our nowadays well known and beloved gay icon Touko Laaksonen, "Tom of Finland" started his career in 1956 by publishing his art with that pen name in a magazine based in USA, because that stuff was still illegal in Finland, and even publishing with his real name could have got him into trouble before the law changed. But damn it he found a way to get them published anyway.

The moral of this history; never underestimate the power of a pen. A writing or a drawing can be a part of a change you want to see happening.

And the world stays

Imagine if world was like it was All those years ago in the past When everything seemed fine But now you're all grown up And you see through the lies Life was a lie but the truth hurts So we cover ourselves with distraction, with false hope But still, the world doesn't chance and now you're just old Yet the world hasn't chanced from the bad And it still hurts
