if u dont acknowledge the fanfics u read, the writer won’t think anyone is actually taking the time to read their stuff, which makes our effort feel wasted and our passions feel worthless

Tell. The. Fanfic. Writers. How. You. Feel.

I will always reblog this. It’s important.

Just to illustrate this:

I have chapter fics that have 1,500+ hits and 70 kudos and comments in the single digits.

At first glance, the kudos to hits ratio is so damn low, it looks like only 70 people out of 1,500 people thought the fic was worthwhile at all.

The plus side is that if you do the math on those fics, it comes out to everyone who read every single chapter actually left a kudos. The hits are because of the chapters. So many page hits just means 70 people read the whole thing.

But how many readers are going to pass on that fic because the kudos are so low? People who might actually like the fic are going to ignore it, because of the social nature of “fandom-standards” or whatever. Comments would help get around that, even though we are limited in the number of kudos we can leave.

Meanwhile, i have other fics that are single chapter fics, that have over 500 hits, and under 60 kudos. I can’t blame the math for that. So the only obvious conclusion then is that, “damn, all that work into writing the fic, and barely anybody actually enjoyed it. it’s still not good enough for somebody to click the kudos button at the end.” Did they even finish reading it or did they just bounce?? (That realization hurts, not gonna lie.)

I’m gonna write the stories cuz they get stuck in my head, but more reader engagement means i don’t have to struggle with the question of what works and what doesn’t, or the question of if I’m wasting my time bothering to post it. The idea behind writing/creating stuff is to get it out of my head, but the idea behind posting it is to share with the people who will enjoy it, and without reader engagement, it is impossible to know if it is enjoyed or not.

So read what you like!! Enjoy it!!! But definitely engage with it however you are comfortable doing so, cuz those little single kudos and comments add up.

Why You Should Always Wear Your Helmet.

singerrrsongwriterrr-deactivate

PSA: never put stickers on your helmets (unless you have checked with the manufacturer) because the adhesive can weaken the structure!

crazy-pages

One day my health teacher in middle school just like … didn’t show up for class. And so of course we were all “oh if he doesn’t show up in fifteen minutes we’re legally allowed to leave”, giggling about it and all the bullshit. He did eventually show up, ten minutes into the class time. He looked haggard as fuck, sweating all over, hair messed up, beaten to hell and back. We stared at him and were about to ask what in the world happened to him when he stopped in front of his desk and smacked his bicycle helmet down on it.

His helmet had this odd discolored patch on it. Like, white against white, but … weird? It’s then that I realized his helmet didn’t have a discolored patch, it had a patch missing. A big chunk of his helmet had just been shaved away, the curve of the helmet gone and sanded flat by whatever it had been scraped against. And running through that patch, from one side of the helmet to the other, was this big crack, like the whole helmet had split like an eggshell.

Our teacher took a couple deep panting breaths and then told our class: “And this,” he took another deep breath, “is why you always wear your helmet”.

And that’s the story of how an entire class of middle school students took helmet-wearing very seriously for the rest of their lives.

Wear ya damn helmet

leatherleaves

Also BOOTS, don’t wear fucking flip flops unless you want to lose some toes and skin. Also LEATHER. Wear LEATHER JACKETS AND PANTS. It’s not just aesthetic it’s LIFE SAVING.

^^Yes! As sexy as it sounds to ride a motorcycle wearing just a bikini, if anything happens, you dont want to be the human cannonball wearing a skimpy outfit. “Dress for the slide, not for the ride” Pavement beats flesh every time. As gory as that sounds, its a reality.

FUCK YOU DISNEY

Anyways, y’all better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like they’re trying to curb fair use/fanworks and I’m sure there’s going to be mass panicked deletions even though it’s probably unnecessary cause AO3′s legal team will fight for us.

dancinbutterfly

You know that 400K yall were so fucking mad about OTW raising? Yeah, its gonna pay for the travel expenses and court costs that the legal team at AO3/OTW when they protect your shit from getting C&Ded. DO NOT DELETE YOUR STUFF! IF YOU GET CONTACTED BY DISNEY - GO TO THE ORGANIZATION OF TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS , CONTACT THEIR LEGAL ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT! ASK FOR HELP!! THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS *WHY* *THEY* *EXIST*

elfwreck

Note that Disney would have one Hell of a time serving C&Ds to authors at AO3 - because there is no “contact author” option other than leaving a comment.

They’d have to contact the SITE, which is to say, the Organization for Transformative Works, to deliver a C&D order or a DMCA takedown order.

And the OTW is not going to remove fics because someone sent a letter that says “actually those characters belong to me and you can’t use them that way.” The OTW was created to FIGHT that kind of claim. They are ready.

Don’t delete your fics out of fear. WE OWN THE SERVERS. They can’t threaten the hosts into deleting anything.

And if Disney thought they had a strong legal case against fanfic, they’d’ve shut down the archive a decade ago, when it was penniless and unknown, instead of waiting until it had won several battles in Congress and got worldwide acclaim for a Hugo Award.
