I like to weave in the first end in advance, by sewing it into the yarn I am going to knit with. This way I can reduce the number of ends I have to weave in at the end.

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.

[thefeistydragon]

Fics are not social media posts. There’s no “stalking” someone’s “old posts”. They’re meant to be found and enjoyed years down the line. No need to be nervous.

[plaidadder]

I reblog this message every time it comes across my dash because it’s true. And also: 

When I first started writing fanfic, back in the mid 1990s (yes! the late twentieth century!) one of the discouraging things about it was that people treated fanfic as if it was disposable. It seemed like what most readers wanted was a constant stream of new content, whereas I tend to produce one big work every 6-12 months. It made me sad that people seemed to think there was no point to re-reading or saving old fic. There is no sell-by date on fiction! It does not get out of order! It can still work even years or decades later! 

So yeah, I have stories up at ao3 that are literally a quarter-century old, and every time someone leaves a comment on them I am very pleased to get it. We get attached to our stories and it cheers us up to see that they are still finding readers. It means that they are still ‘alive,’ in some way. 

[ruffboi-mags]

AO3 is not social media, it’s (essentially) a library.

You’re meant to engage with any and all of it, regardless of age.

[dduane]

This. (And you could make a case that the older the fic on which feedback is received, the more it’s appreciated…)

[havocthecat]

This is the honest truth from start to finish.

[liz-squids]

Last year I did a podcast discussing a fic which was posted in 1995, and the day before yesterday, the author (who left fandom in 1997 and hasn’t been heard from since) emailed me to say thank you.

[longlivefeedback]

Reblogging this for people new to fandom or who do not currently engage with fanfic in this way to

Consider leaving a comment on a fic you’ve read, no matter how long ago it was posted. You can really make someone’s day by doing this and commenting on fic is a great way to actively participate in a fandom. You might even make a few fandom friends this way!

Try treating fanfic less like a published book and more like an open love letter inviting you to reply. I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of fanfic authors do not think of their fic as a book nor of posting it to Ao3 as “getting published” in the traditional sense. None of us are getting paid any money, for one. And while there’s nothing stopping you from treating a fic like a book (you can read as much or as little of it as you want, you can download and save it like an e-book, etc.), unlike traditionally published authors who I imagine will be able to get some readership statistics about their books through sales numbers and book reviews, a fanfic author will have no indication if their work resonated with you in any way except through a comment. So, consider writing back on a fanfic and letting the author know if you loved their work. Authors are often looking to make connections with their fellow fans. Consider responding, even if it’s just to say a simple ‘thank you.’

I know that commenting is not effortless, but consider it an act of kindness. And we could all use a little kindness and connection with each other these days.

Fun fact! Having a job every day is actually a fairly new thing.

In olden times, people had daily chores and other things to do but their workload/ daily working hours was actually much lower than it is today. Even in farming communities.

The concept of working super hard every day actually comes from capitalism, which in turn comes from Puritanical ideology.

The Puritans believed in salvation through work and in no play.

Early capitalists adopted this ideology because it meant higher productivity and therefore more money if their factories were running near constantly.

The idea of needing to be continuously productive in order to be useful/ allowed things like food and shelter, is actually quite an insidious ideal that is deeply rooted in the American culture.

4 day work weeks have actually proven to be more productive than the 5 day week. But corporations won't adopt it willingly because it means less of a stranglehold on their workers.
