purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?

Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten. 

They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it. 

The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.

It’s what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty fic…AdultFanfiction was the one I went to…but thousands of fics would never be recovered. 

[systlin]

Shit like the Great Purges and the Strikethrough of Livejournal eventually led to fans banding together to create A03, which I would have absolutely KILLED for when I was 15.

[persephonebooklover]

Back up ao3 was created by fans?

[systlin]

It’s…right on the main page. 

[fanfictionanthology]

I love this because I will bet you that persefv has read that bit we are all so inundated with hyperbole and advertising that says that the consumer is somehow in charge of whatever product they are shilling that we all just assumed this was another sales tactic.

[naryrising]

But we’re not even… selling anything…  *quiet sobs*

[wrangletangle]

No ads. No subscriptions. No data selling.

We are the definition of “what it says on the tin.”

[elfwreck]

Is there any way to spread this info? 

THE OTW WAS CREATED BY FANS SO WE’D HAVE AN ARCHIVE THAT WASN’T SUBJECT TO CORPORATE REVIEW. 

Nonprofit, so that nobody could ever say, “this isn’t making enough money; it’s getting shut down.” (See: Geocities, Quizilla, Figment, G+.) With lawyers involved and a firm awareness of the legalities of fanfic, so nobody would decide “we’ve gotten a nasty letter from a megacorporation with lawyers, so we’re hiding because we can’t afford to face a lawsuit. (Jedi Hurtaholics, Trevizo’s Millennium site.) With teams, so that an argument between co-mods didn’t result in the destruction of a whole archive. (Gryffindor Tower, Detention.)

AO3 IS OUR SITE.

It is by fans, for fans. Fans do all the coding. All the legal paperwork. All the abuse/tos violation complaints. Fans make all the choices about policies. Fans decide how to run the fundraisers. Fans write the blog posts. All the volunteer staff are fans; all the people who train them are fans. Fans wrangle all the tags. 

(And the other OTW projects, too. Fans manage the entries at Fanlore. Fans run the Open Doors project. Fans publish Transformative Works and Cultures.)

EVERYONE WORKING FOR THE OTW LOVES FANDOM. Wants it to survive. Wants it to be awesome for everyone.

(Knows that it can’t be awesome for everyone; some approaches to fandom just clash hard. But they strive to minimize those clashes as much as possible, because they love fandom.) 

AO3 is not some company that decided, “we’ll make a site for fanfic and then…” I don’t know what people are thinking is the reason. Money? Data harvesting? Tax shelter? Amusement and pity?

Nope; AO3 was fans saying, “Livejournal sucks; we’re tired of this fucked-up ‘rebuild every three years’ garbage; WE NEED TO OWN THE DAMN SERVERS.”

That’s the “of our own” part of the name. OTW isn’t a “them” running the site “for us.” It’s “us” making places for “us” to share what we love with others of “us.” 

[dirtydragonthoughts]

This this this.

I was there for all of that shit, and AO3 is a godsend. If you enjoy or create fanworks, support AO3, donate if you can, and remember why it’s there in the first place!!

[olderthannetfic]

Fandom history really does get lost quickly. For current 20-something fans, AO3 has always been there.

@elfwreck

> I don’t know what people are thinking is the reason. Money? Data harvesting? Tax shelter? Amusement and pity?

Based on some of the tickets we get in Support? Data harvesting. Between the requests by users for Google-Analytics-level fine-grained data and

all

the

ai-feeding

data-scraping

machine-learning

algorithm-shaping

recommendation-engineering

give-me-every-detail-about-every-single-user

requests we get by Random Researcher #68? Definitely data harvesting. (99% of the time, we don’t have the data they’re asking for, because we really do out damnedest to not collect that much data.)

[sarking]

“What’s the gender breakdown of your users?”

“How educated are your users?”

“Most of your users are gay, right?”

I don’t know! I don’t want to know. Please, god, don’t tell me, it’s none of my business. It is a fanwork archive! It does not need your personal information to serve its intended purpose.

[iguanamouth]

Shark dragons. Please consider this idea, I created a tumblr just to ask you this

MAN YOU SURE DID HUH…… OH BOY how about

bonus sharks…………

[seenalready13]

I want to thank @grilledsquids for the amazing work on Cortney's best friends Peace Miglow on top and Axel Gallivancer. Hero costumes on the left and normal on the right.

Peace's quirk is Fire dragon slayer, Axel's is data reader.

[baconpal]

Thank you, for everything.

author: her power is that her nipples shoot boiling milk so she has to be topless always

fans: she isn’t sexualized, the author had to draw her like that because its her power. its out of his control.

[powerfulwizard]

i hope you all know i didnt make up the example i used

[orchidvioletindigo]

I would rather have not known that thanks

[senpai-noticed-you-and-he]

It’s the pink one. I read through the whole wiki page. I need a drink.

[powerfulwizard]

That isn’t what this is about. This was a slightly exaggerated description of a demon from Devilman. I will not allow you to imply that I’ve watched that Queen’s Blade shit.

HOW ARE THERE TWO THINGS THIS APPLIES TO

[redchrominance]

[ultrapancake]

We’ve got a fancy quadruped coming through today! This is Tisalia Scythia from the light novel/manga/anime Monster Girl Doctor! Her curly hair has soft wires in in that hold the curls in shape. I’ve never actually done curly hair like this before and it turned out better than I expected! Tisalia is a commission for Brad!

[grumpyjesterr]

on another note, watched The Mummy (1999) the other day and I couldn’t help  feel like the O’Connells and the Addams (Addams Family Values (1993) would get on really well ya know? The O’Connells are basically the pastel adventure version of the Addams, surely they would just be vibin’ over tea and crumpets in an extremely haunted mansion having a ball of a time

[grumpyjesterr]

Morticia: “So what is it you do for a living my dear?”

Evelyn: “We dig up dead people who often have monstrous curses placed on them!”

Morticia: “fascinating”

[grumpyjesterr]

Gomez: *leaping out from behind a pillar which is encrusted with ominous looking runes* en garde!

Rick: *grabs sword from equally ominous looking wall full of weapons one of which seems to be glowing* fantastic I was getting a bit rusty

Gomez: *nearly in tears* oh he’s screaming nonsensically, what spirit! what reslove!

[grumpyjesterr]

*Rick and Gomez, still frantically sword fighting*

Rick: Have I mentioned how wonderful my wife is yet, I really feel like I haven’t really expanded enough on how wonderful she is

Gomez: do go on, I would be delighted to hear about how wonderful your wife is, I strongly encourge all men to extoll the virtues of their wives with rapturous praise, however I should perhaps mention my wife is in fact better

*sword fighting intensifies as both men rapturously extoll the virtues of their wives*

Jonathan and Fester and Cousin Itt watch from the bar, where Lurch and Thing are making the drinks.

[lemonsharks]

Jonathan and Thing knew one another from The War; each thought the other to be dead

Their reunion is highly emotional

[doubleca5t]

I'm not sure what you're supposed to do if you're with a girl and she's like, hey i will take of my shirt now. you can see my boobs. like do you poke them or something.? compliment her?

Anon I'm trying to interpret this ask and I've decided that there are three possible scenarios that make sending this ask make sense:

1) You're asexual

2) You are not attracted to women

3) You're like 14

In fact, it could be more than one of these at once. Point is, I don't think what I have to say on this subject will be very useful to you right now, if not ever.

[doubleca5t]

Wait do none of you know how to react when a girl shows you her boobs??????

[garrettauthor]

Behind every strong hero, stands an even stronger mother.

Its fun to imagine what bnha parents would look like based on their kids own personalities and designs. There are some good visions out there already, but here are mine for Shoji and Tokoyamis moms.
