everyone is sickening

Evilgustofwind (Agustofwind on Ao3 formerly) has now taken down both her Tumblr blog as well as her wildly successful ao3 account, potentially for that reason. That it was wildly successful. Because all it took was a few people to create a sickening landslide. Mentioning it in Oscar’s comments? Talking about it with MCSR? It goes beyond disrespectful to both fanspaces and etiquette. In the same breath, those who decided the best option was not to logically condemn those who do not understand fandom etiquette, but ti send death threats to the author of the fic.

EVERYONE STOP LINKING ZERO CYCLE TO OSCAR'S IG. STOP COMMENTING "honeymoon phase <3" ON THE BOAT PHOTO. STOP COMMENTING "he's trying to impress lando" ON OSCAR'S CATCHING STICKS VIDEO. YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT FERRARI ADMIN ENTERING FANDOM SPACE TO SHOW DRIVERS FICS AND THEN GO DIRECTLY TO THE DRIVER'S PAGES AND RPF WHERE THEY CAN SEE IT.

May Oscar Piastri win grill the grid AND hopefully get at least one podium this season

The official F1 account posted this graphic today, hopefully putting to rest any nonsense about changes at McLaren for next season. Considering that several drivers who are assumed to be continuing with their teams next season are still "TBC" on this graphic, I would treat this with the closest thing to certainty as there is in this sport.

However, this confirmation means something VERY important:

Lando and Oscar will break the all-time record for grands prix with the same teammate in 2027.

As of Round 11 in Hungary, they are tied with Vettel and Raikkonen at 81 grands prix. Assuming that this season will have 22 races, they will end 2026 with 92 grands prix together, the 5th most in history.

The current record is 104, held by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. This means that, barring anything unforeseen, the record will be broken in round 13 of the 2027 season.

(This statistic is based on grands prix entered/qualified for as teammates and not on race starts.)

Also of note, Oscar will start his 100th race next season. Again barring anything unforeseen, this will be in round 10 of the 2027 season. By the end of 2027, assuming that the season has more than 20 rounds, he will surpass Lewis Hamilton's 110 starts with McLaren and have the fifth most starts with the team in its history.

(If 2027 and 2028 each have 24 rounds, Oscar remains with McLaren through 2028, and he starts all of those races, he will have the third most starts in the team's history, behind only David Coulthard and his teammate, who holds the record for most starts with McLaren. Based on the same season length assumptions, Lando will start his 200th race in round 3 of the 2028 season.)

With Rose (the author of Zero Cycle) announcing that she is taking down her fics and stepping away from the internet I think it's important to remind everyone about fandom etiquette.

This situation is not exclusive to rpf. I have watched this happen in pretty much every single major fandom. Klance Byler Mcyt, ect, they have all had a fic go extremely viral which then results in a downward spiral where fandom etiquette is thrown out the window and the author inevitably ends up pulling their fic from the internet and stepping away all together.

To be honest with you I am not surprised that this has happened again. I have been noticing for a while that the way people have been treating Rose and her fics has been absolutely terrible. Even people who were well meaning let their excitement about her fics cloud their judgement and cause them to be quite rude to her and disrespectful of fandom and rpf etiquette.

Therefore I would like to give some reminders to everyone about fandom etiquette. Because it's not just "keep all rpf discussion to ao3 and tumblr." those are important and those rules being broken certainly played a role in this particular scenario, but there's a lot more to it then that and as a fan you need to be more aware of how you interact with content.

Authors are not celebrities. They did not sign up for having an audience to deliver things to. They are fellow fans and creatives who are passionate about what they do. Because of this, I urge you, no matter how good a fic is, no matter how much you love it, you cannot treat it like a grand monolith for the fandom. When that happens the fic gets pulled out of its intended context and the author will inevitably be put under extreme strain and scrutiny. If you love a fic the best thing you can do for it is keep your interactions with and discussion of it purely to the ao3 comments and the authors askbox. I understand that creating a separate fandom for someone's works is done out of love and admiration but I have never ever seen it end well. When you create a fandom for a fic you are inviting typical fandom problems in and pushing them onto an author who did not ask for this.

You also need to stop treating authors like they are gods or something. I know this is usually done with the intentions of being complimentary. But an author is a real human being who deserves compassion and kindness. When you treat them like something to be worshipped you are inevitably dehumanizing them and making people feel more comfortable saying horrific shit to them or just generally being disrespectful. While it is also bad to get too parasocial and act like an author is your close personal friend, going towards the other extreme is also harmful. It is also just uncomfortable in general to have people act like you are not just a normal average person existing in the world. Authors are amazingly talented of course and that should be appreciated, but that does not rank above the fact that they are a normal person who would just like to interact online like anyone else.

The most important thing to remember is respect above all else. Because authors are human beings who deserve it. Being talented at something should not exclude them from that right. I ask that you take the time to reflect on the way you talk to/about authors and double check that you aren't accidentally forgetting about that.

Also last reminder for this particular situation. Do not complain about Rose taking down her fics. She does not owe you anything. You do not get to be upset that someone who has had their boundaries crossed over and over again and has been repeatedly disrespected has taken steps that are in her best interest. You are not the victim in this situation, do not act like it.
