staying on twitter just long enough to keep on top of ao3 updates (glad I was here now to see this and change my ao3 usage accordingly) and then going back on a fuckin’ cortisol cleanse and redeleting this app and leaving this rot to the maggots again
So…
…we’re all reporting when ao3 is back up, right? We all agree that having an OTW volunteer doing racist crashouts on Elon Musk’s internet is completely inappropriate and we will report accordingly. RIGHT???

writers like comments and kudos = they're evil and only care about attention
readers want drives filled with thousands of fics uploaded without the writers knowledge. they somehow can't wait for ao3 to be back and need to /consume/ as many fics as they possibly can = ???
idk man, an account on here just got like 25k likes for posting that your dick will fall out a lot during doggy style not realizing that that literally just means small cock, I don’t think numbers of twitter likes are equivalent to the validity of an argument
The bottom line is, literally any argument that absolves them of responsibility is what they’re going to use. Recite with me the narcissist’s prayer: that didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. +
The goalposts are going to continue to move, by the way.
They’re all clinging to “there’s no way they got millions of fics from drives” because “shit, obviously this is an ongoing issue and all insecure sources of fic are likely part of the puzzle” would require self-reflection.

Честно говоря, количество вскрывшихся гнойников в отношении к фикрайтерам понемногу приводит меня к неожиданному дзену. Я-то думала, что я теряю реальную возможность общения с другими людьми через свои тексты, теряю что-то человеческое и ценное. А я вообще ничего не теряю.
THIS.
I’ve been working on my latest fic for well over a year, and it’s hardly the first time.
If anyone could write fanfic, then everyone would have done that instead of hoarding and disseminating the work of others without a second thought.
you couldn’t be bothered to download the fic you love, couldn’t be bothered to remember an author name or two to reach out, let’s be serious: we both know you’re too damn lazy to vet your fic binges. 😭 see you in my hits section in a couple weeks! 😘
“making an ao3 block list for anti-drive writers” BROTHA you couldn’t go one single day without binging fic at the expense of writers’ autonomy, do you expect me to believe you’re going to make the effort to not mindlessly click on whatever fic wrings dopamine from your brain?

truly and unequivocally we’re all just living through this meme lmaooooooo
starting to get to the point that it’s funny.
like holy shit there are thousands of people out there who clicked an updoot button on the most illogical, self-serving opinions, and it is 100% because they consume all their media spiritually mouth open, lips dry. 😂 embarrassinggg
It costs a little money upfront, but Scrivener has been a game changer for me, and they have an app that you can sync on your phone for easy editing or writing anywhere.
Also seconding the mentions of Ellipsus!
at this point, all I see is the equivalent of like “not MY captain america” or “why did they hire her, she’s ugly” like just arguments that are such a cope and so rooted in chronically online insecurity that you just have to go “🤦🏽well, there’s still a kind minority of normalcy.”
I make a rambling thread of ideas first to outline, then go back and start writing a real draft while deleting the thread as I finish those plot points. I find it helps ease the block to be able to read ahead and go “oh yeah, it’s almost THAT scene, can’t wait to get there!”
being a fan writer rn feels very much like being an actor in a popular IP. super fun at first, but then the fan base gets huge and the toxicity starts running rampant, and now you can’t say shit without a stunning percentage of “fans” being like “FUCK YOU, YOU’RE RUINING IT”

77k links, of which 1.7k are google docs, 12.8k are drive folders, and the rest are epubs. For the docs and drive folders, the uploaders email IDs are visible, many with what appears to be their real names. I'm sure many people are unaware their data has been compromised.
