That stutter feel when you get stuck on the first half of a sentence and just think “fuck it, move on” and spit out the second half of the sentence perfectly and hope that the person you’re talking to will understand what you’re saying.
“Di you- did year- you h- … lunar eclipse tonight?” 😶
Yeah I think you were a little clearer in speech rhythm in college, or at least hesitated rather than stuttered. I know I used to be able to speak a lot more smoothly when I spoke to people more often. I am like 95% sure in my case that it’s a practice thing. I just don’t have to talk as much and I guess I just forget how to do it if I don’t practice it constantly. xD

rules: mech suites or machine-heavy backgrounds may be an additional charge, otherwise everything is basically free game. I’m comfortable working with any species/fandom/kinks, and NSFW is A++.
Either PM me or email [email protected] if you’re interested! I’m not expecting many takers, so assume i’m still open unless otherwise stated (i’ll edit the post) Turn-around time should be pretty quick, i’ve been productive lately :)
((discounts may be offered for trans customers who want trans NSFW stuff - there needs to be more of that in the world))
Well that’s one way to tell us, AMC
Well that’s a good reason to survive until 2019

I feel like my existence is a burden entirely right now and I don’t know how to contain this feeling but I also don’t want to express it too openly and contribute to the burden that I am already, which is like a complete waste of space and incapable of doing anything but benefit from others kindness toward me because I don’t have anything of any value to give in return. And it feels bad. I just want to escape this body and this brain and not be this way. It feels like there is no way out.
you know what time it is babey!!!
hey ao3 can you like give the extra $38k you made from this month’s funds drive to charity
You know it legally is a charity, right?
If x charity aims for £10, but gets £15, would you expect then to give back the extra five or give it then to another charity? No. Any extra costs go into the “rainy day” fund; sometimes servers crash or break, sometimes false reports are made that require the legal team, sometimes you need to hire coders or what not to implement new features or fix bugs or deal with broken code …
The money they aimed for is the bare minimum, which goes towards things like basic server costs and domain names and legal advice and so forth, but they don’t just “pocket” the rest (as people claim). It’s not a business. It has no advertisements. It needs some “rainy day” cash to function.
You can’t ask a charity to give money to another charity.
It needs what it gets to function and improve.

They don’t “pocket” excess money. They have a publicly accessible budget - waaaay more info than most charities, in fact. In it, you can clearly see where each dollar goes. (Also, you are vastly underestimating either how much traffic AO3 gets or how much servers/hosting costs.)
In my experience, people who don’t work in web design and hosting just have no concept of how heavy a load something like AO3 would have. Not only is the traffic absolutely buck wild, but the quantity of data that archive needs to store is fuckoff crazy. I’m talking “more than the library of congress” crazy. The only reason it doesn’t require Netflix levels of data serving is that it’s text based rather than video.
AO3 is in the top 300 websites in the world, and the top 100 in the US. It is the number 2 literature website.
Number 2 in the entire world. JSTOR is 20.
It sees about 6 million people a day. About 250k an hour. Each of those people is loading multiple pages, many are running searches that execute on literally hundreds of potential variables per search. The demands involved are astronomical.
JSTOR, btw, makes 85 million dollars a year.
It’s 18 ranks below AO3′s traffic, and takes in 650 times the amount of money.
But let’s say you think that’s an unfair comparison. Would you say that the Project Gutenberg Literature Archival Group- another text based archive that handles literature operating outside traditional copyright requirements- is more similar?
Because it sees all of 4% of the traffic that AO3 handles.
Care to guess its budget?
Double that of AO3.
AO3 is doing shit on the kind of shoestring budget that I fully, 100% cannot comprehend. And that’s just the archival service.
The 130k also pays for the OTW’s legal team, which they use to defend the right of fandom to fucking exist.
It’s absolutely batshit fucked up that people are fighting to have the OTW defunded and AO3 shut down. They are the only organized group that actually stands directly between fandom- all the art and the fics and the vids and the music and the chats and the memes and everything we love about interactive, transformative work- and an incalculable amount of lawsuits.
