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

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!

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…

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

genuinely ijbol you’re not in my fandoms and you can’t respect fic writers what exactly do you think i’m losing?

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.

Я пишу фанфики уже больше 20 лет. Выкладывалась на лиру, дайри и ЖЖ, на фикбуке и АО3, писала по сотням разных фандомов, пережила миллиарды срачей, меня хуесосили анонимно и в аватарку, мои фики разбирали так, как не снилось издатым авторам.

“hey, we looted a bunch of people’s houses! yours might be one of them. come by our flea market if you want your stuff back. it’s amongst a sea of thousands of other stolen items. we respect you so much so make sure you jot your name down as a definite no for future theft :)”

Ao3 TOS explicitly prohibits reuploads to other sites without author permission too, and author consent is respected by ao3 as you granting them and them alone a license when you upload to their site

The funniest thing about fanfic discussions is watching several writers compete in the Pick Me Olympics in the comments.“Actually, I don't write for kudos!”“Oh yeah? I don't care if anyone reads my work!” “Attention seekers, I fistfight people who try to read my published works!”

抱歉让互关看到我这么多天的戾气和攻击性发言，只是作为写了12年同人文且在ao3上有五十多篇fanfic的人来说这些称得上荒谬的发言对我冲击实在太大。同人作品的创作是神圣的，看到无数人的心血像垃圾一样被扔在地上踩来踩去，我做不到持续冷静
我不会再继续发表任何相关言论了，语言的力量有时候是浅薄的

Authors have known how people feel about us, but we kept going because negativity was supposed to be the minority. This incident exposed how deep that negativity runs and people are valid in not wanting to share their work anymore knowing that these are the people it's going to.
