"...although the change was expected to affect only 3% of users, “this could amount to 2m devices rendered obsolete according to some estimates, potentially generating over 624 tons of e-waste”."
Up to 2m e-readers made before 2013 will no longer be able to download new titles
And a chaser, for those interested:
Amazon is ending support for older Kindles, but you still have easy ways to keep reading—no upgrade required.
my daily affirmation as an author
may all your favorite fanfic writers never lose their hyperfixation and love for your blorbos so they keep writing fanfics about your blorbos forever
Like to charge reblog to cast
Hey. I think I hate you.
Hey. I really hate you.
actual scum a reminder to all the real fanfic writers out there that you are appreciated and id rather read a fic that was written by a human being with passion behind it then ai generated slop any day of the week
If someone plagiarizes your fic on AO3 using AI, you can report them using this form.
I'm pretty sure in this particular instance, this falls under the AO3's rules against plagiarism:
II.E. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the use of someone else's words, or their expressions of their ideas, without attribution. Minor alterations (such as replacing names, substituting synonyms, or rearranging a few words) are insufficient to make a work your own. Plagiarism is not allowed. Deliberately creating a work using the same general idea as another work is not plagiarism, but citation may be appropriate.
Something to keep in mind, because this isn't the first or last time something like this is going to happen.
Maybe if people updated more we wouldn't turn to ai
You’re a pathetic, impatient loser. Fanfic writers owe you nothing, and their writing is their own, not yours to do with as you choose, you entitled brat.

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.
her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.
icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.
writing mood™️
I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.
Me, spraying bug spray: blocked.
Listen and sometimes? To enjoy running through a beautiful field of grass and flowers (ao3) you have to tolerate the fact that bugs (fics you don’t like) are there and maybe you will even encounter one, but you can use bugspray (filtered tags) to reduce the likelihood of that. Because the alternative is not getting to experience the beautiful field of grass and flowers.
Heacanon idea:
Of course the newer generation of Gotham would doubt Damian’s Parentage not just because of racism but because of his pretentious, reclusive, almost feral and posh-like personality compared to his father’s fun and charming personality.
But the Old elites of Gotham have no doubt in their mind that’s Bruce’s son—not because if you squint enough he looks like him. But because they remember a time when 10yo Bruce ‘came-out-of-trauma’ Wayne acted eerily similar like that.
He’s stoic and even more reclusive, touch him and he’ll bite. Hell they’d gladly accept Damian than a 10yo Bruce, at least Damian would only glare and threaten you.
*Some Old Money Gothamite overhears Damian’s brothers how feral the youngest is*
Old Money Gothamite: y’know you youngsters got it easy back in my day, We used to wrangle the Wayne boy from destroying the Gala.
Jason: No way! The old man?
Dick: Yeah… he might’ve been a little bit traumatized…
Tim: BUT from what I heard young Bruce is a lot better than the gremlin! That’s what!
Old Money Gothamite: I wasn’t talking about Bruce. *fondly remembers 9yo Thomas stabbing someone in a gala to ‘perform surgery’*

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
HERE'S THAT BITCH IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!
Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.
Well now I must.
being bad at writing has never stopped published authors so why should it stop me
i spent 15 mins making this rather than writing
Wanted to reblog for the graphic
HAD to reblog for the caption
Im sorry y’all but I’m such a procrastinator😭
= ]
I’m sorryyyyy
Ugh, feel this in my soul
I’m sorry I can only write two sentences at a time before I have to take a nap to recharge
I would rather write a story, believe me
This is me but with art
a non-selective plan for the resurgence of fic commissions
Too many children in the comments like ‘I think authors should be able to share ko-fi links :) it’s just nice’ and ‘OP is just a cop.’ Homie, OP is trying to keep AO3 fully functional without interruption. I will report your ass, too, because I value fic artists and our freedom of expression and my audience and our shared history far more than I value the few bux you wanna make on a commission.
It is not hard to link to your Tumblr or Twitter with a vague message like, “If you’re looking for my other works or other ways of supporting me, go here: link.” I have had people buy me coffees after enjoying my fic and asking where to support me. I threw up a link to my Tumblr and people cared enough to follow it. They were fully understanding when I explained in the comments that they could not commission me and I could not link them directly to any donation platform, but they could go to xyz link to read more. And they did! Nobody has to put AO3 directly on the firing line.
Go ahead and commission independently. Just do it anywhere else except on AO3. And then don’t come crying to the community when you, personally, get a C&D from a massive corporation.
AO3 is our bullet shield. Tumblr will pull your shit down. Wattpad won’t fucking protect you. LJ and FF.net already sold our asses for one (1) corn chip. AO3 is trying to protect us, you goddamn lemmings.
If you cannot follow the rules that protect fanspaces, you do not belong in our fanspaces.
The only people who misunderstand this are doing so intentionally and maliciously. Do yourself a favor and block the infants who think this isn’t a big deal.
Please remember that this ALSO INCLUDES FANDOM CHARITY AUCTIONS.
When you post charity auction fics, DO NOT note that they are commissions in any way. You can note them as “here is my thank you gift to X for such-and-such event” but please please PLEASE do not list them as commissions.
This is why my Ko-fi specifically mentions my original fiction, upon which nobody but myself has copyright. Pay me for that—or my nonfiction—all day long, but fanfiction is not saleable.
