Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Edit: I didn’t expect my post to go viral 🤯

I saw OTW's tweet and shared it here to warn my 25 followers (who are fic writers & readers) about it. I thought people from the US already knew this was happening, as the bill was been voted the day I made my post.

I'm not from the US, and I'm glad people are explaining the problem and how it will affect all non-profits in the quotes. I had no idea what the bill really entailed.

This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.

👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏

“why isn’t there any fic about (x)?” there can be a fic that is precisely about what you want to read. just start writing that fic for yourself.

“but I’m not a writer” every writer has had their first time writing. most writers start with writing something they want to read. your work doesn’t have to be perfect, because having 1 fic that is precisely about what you want to read, even if it��s not perfect, is still better than having 0 fics about what you want to read.

Once I decided on an art style, I drew this... But I wound up not even using the idea that inspired it.

I decided the illustrations would be in the classic illustration style. I don't know that artist, but I have a Dr Jekyll in this style, and a Moby Dick

A companion story to Fragile Things (https://archiveofourown.org/works/56809969), this story chronicles Tim's experiences after being captured by four individuals with an obsession and mysterious connections to Batman.

This was separated from the main story due to its horror and sensitive material. Most of the characters contained in this story are original creations. Information in this story may spoil events in the main story. If you don't care about that, I do recommend reading at least the first chapter of Fragile Things for the setup prior to reading this one.

I was still deciding on an art style

This was before I decided on an art style, but this is the style I wound up choosing.
