ao3 isnt an archive NOR a library pls lmao

you do know ao3 stands for archive of our own, right? you do know its full name is literally archive of our own, right?

[artsfinalgirl]

I see ao3 as a library, because ao3 hosts millions of written works for people to visit and read. That’s what libraries do. But I get it that to some people, the library part may be more of a metaphor than a literal meaning for ao3.

But you have to be either clueless about what ao3 is shortened for and what the platform’s full name is, or on another level of stupidity to say archive of our own isn’t an archive pls lmao

[decemberwinter]

And it’s not just the name, mind you. AO3’s main purpose is to archive transformative works. Archiving works is literally the only thing it does and was created for. Which just makes anon’s claim even funnier.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Librarian says yes, AO3 is a fucking library AND an archive. Does it have a curated collection of materials? YES, it’s library. Does that collection contain materials curated specifically in part for preservation purposes? YES, it’s an archive.

And it’s my dream that someday our public library catalogs will be able to organize content the way AO3 can.

Just me here waking up and reminding myself not to take anything I read today seriously, without a whole heaping spoon of salt.

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

Someone mentioned on another tumblr post about how nobody complained that Agatha Christie wrote ANOTHER book about murder.

Write your story. Write it again. And again.

[sashaforthewin]

Okay but do you understand the TREASURE TROVE of reading a fic you enjoy and then looking at the author's page and discovering they have written multiple just like it?! That is the ultimate score!

Nobody complained that Agatha Christie wrote ANOTHER book about murder

☝️☝️☝️

[mari--lace]

People were so happy about Conan Doyle writing murders that they vigorously protested when he tried to kill his detective and write something else.

Do with that what you will

what ao3 would look like with ads. no, you do not want this. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is not tainted by capitalism bullshit. support ao3 because it’s one of the last few places on the internet that is genuinely about the connection between audiences, artists, their works and the love/passion artists have for what they do

[alhyastarain]

this is giving me nightmares. the more i look the worse it gets. ai summary. verify your name. make $ with ao3. i wanna kms (no that last one's not on the screenshot but it should, and clicking it should light the whole site on fire)

[riverwriter]

Protect Ao3. I understand that there are so many worthy causes out there. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to, I encourage you to donate what you can to whomever you feel called to support. But can we at least stop this thing where people bitch about Ao3’s fundraisers?

jane austen said "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." and proceeded to make one of the most iconic austen girls of all time so like. keep making annoying and cringe and overpowered ocs and love them to bits even if no one else will.

[riverwriter]

I love that if you didn’t already know, it would be hard to tell which of her heroines she was talking about.

Somebody needs to inform cats that they are lactose intolerant, because they have not gotten the memo. Mine especially.

The Sound of Music (1965) dir. Robert Wise

[riverwriter]

I really, really need to get better about being okay with putting something down and walking away, no matter how much time I’ve invested in reading it, when every instinct in my body is telling me the ending is just going to upset me. So, this is me putting that thought out into the world.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“ao3 always receives more funds and donations than what they ask for” yeah that’s because people love a place that actually protects all fanfics, art and artists against censorship, purity culture and capitalism. shocking, I know

[riverwriter]

The way I prepared for Ao3 going down for maintenance today. It’s a treasure, I’ll happily donate.

Lucy Liu as Joan Watson in Elementary 1x21 - A Landmark Story

[redstonedust]

in my mind "its not that deep" depends on how much the person is enjoying themselves, especially when it comes to fandom stuff. fans making lengthy character analysis out of a character with 2 seconds of screentime? theyre having a grand ol' time playing make believe in the shallow end of the pool and im not gonna stop their fun. people making discourse and starting fights over those same nothingburger characters? you are acting like you are drowning in an inch of water. stand up. youre fine.
