it's been a horrible couple of days for fic writers and fic readers who actually have a soul. people are stealing our work left and right, huge swaths of people in these communities are revealing themselves to be uncaring and vicious, and fandom is breaking apart.

they have misread every single statement made since ao3 went down i am lmfao
How you react to this tweet is a literacy test. This person explicitly says supporting fan artists and writers is participating. They’re saying those who DONT do that shouldn’t have a say in the work. That’s it!! No one can fucking read!

y'all read read read & yet have no reading capabilities op: *contribution is also supporting the writers and artists (by interacting w/the work)* y'all: writers and artists op: don't get an opinion on HOW THE WORK IS SHARED y'all: u dont want us to have a saying in ANYTHING
I just find it sad that ppl actually believe if you don’t “contribute” to fandom thru drawing or writing etc. you’re in the bottom rung and don’t get a say in anything. Since when did personal enjoyment become something so serious like identity and social hierarchy

this narrative that the people complaining are covid-era clout-chasers from wattpad or whatever. bitch, i was twelve sneaking upstairs to the family computer at 4am to secretly read about boys kissing on livejournal, hoping that the modem dialing up wouldn't wake my parents.
“these new fic authors just don't understand old fandom culture! sharing has always been part of fandom!” bitch, i've been in fandom spaces for twenty fucking years. i remember the old days. i remember actually treating the people writing our favourite stories like human beings.

THIS. it's also a test of whether or not you're allowed to interact with me.

people who don't contribute anything to the fandom (don't create artwork, fics, or support writers and artists) do not deserve to have an opinion on how the work is shared, and at this point don't even deserve the access to any of it. this will kill all fandoms.

I’m still here. Genuinely I think if people said “hey since ao3 is down I’m compiling a drive/list/zip/WHATEVER, message me if you want to include your fic!” Authors would’ve been ECSTATIC, eager to join! But we live in an opt-out panopticon of scraping and intellectual theft…
Replying to @VieVieTuber
And I think my issue, the one thing I can’t look past, is that the entire situation adopted a corporate internet “opt out” mentality which I think is the antithesis of fandom. People shouldn’t have to “opt out” of being in these drives, everyone’s done this all backwards.

ao3 has only been down for a few days and this is what fandom feels like right now. - google drive discord - writers being harassed, mocked, disrespected - ao3 knockoff sites that repost and monetize fanfics without writers’ consent or knowledge

This is 100% true and all the people who are mad at it in the comments know that we don't want or need them in our communities, that's why they're angry. So I'll say it again: you reading my writing without interacting has no value to me. You have no value to me. Please block me.

Saying it louder for the people in the back; copyright law in the US and elsewhere protects authors' IP. Fanfiction is still the property of whomever wrote it, not the free property of fans. Fan access is a privilege, not a right.

genuinely ijbol you’re not in my fandoms and you can’t respect fic writers what exactly do you think i’m losing?
just saw someone saying “i’m compiling a list of authors who don’t consent to the drives so we know who to avoid in the future and never share their works” if you have this much time on your hands pick up a good book and improve your reading comprehension. you need it

Most of the people I’ve seen changing their mind on this whole Drive thing say the catalyst was talking to a writer friend. So it makes sense that so many other people are being so obstinate. They don’t have writer friends. They’d have to participate in community for that.

Fandoms can survive without freeloaders. Fandoms CANNOT survive without creatives.
writers hating their readers this much will kill fandoms actually

this tells me i did something right
If you see yourself on the list, hi5. We're being purposefully singled out by content consumer-regurgitators who do not care for the fact we want reporters to ask permission of writers first, and for the fact some authors care where/how their work gets reposted.
