I'm seeing a lot of "ugh, so we can't even criticize fic authors anymore?" posts popping up on here and the ao3 subreddit and I just want to say, for the record: No one's saying you can't criticize (fanfic) authors publicly. They're saying it's rude and antithetical to positive fandom experience. And, yes there's a difference.

If this website was a conference and I had just spent a whole afternoon listening to a presentation on [unpopular fic trope] and after that was done, I got up on stage and very publicly told the audience that [unpopular fic trope] was illogical and anyone who writes it is woefully misinformed and should be banned from writing [relevant character], that would in fact be a dick move.

"But the canon character would never--" it doesn't matter. You're shouting down the hall at the person who just happily did a whole seminar on their OOC version of that character. "But I don't like that the author chose to make them--" good, you're well-acquainted with your likes and dislikes, time to find another fic.

We all run into fics and interpretations we don't like. But there's a huge difference between loudly talking about it on Tumblr where the author can see it, and just venting in a private discord or other group. Also, gentle reminder that this is a hobby for most writers and something they do purely because they enjoy it. Stop being massive dicks just because you feel entitled to a certain flavor of fanfiction you will probably be chasing until the Reformation of Krypton.

hey everyone! back up your works on ao3, because project 2025 is probably going into effect. porn will be illegal.

BACK IT UP OFFLINE. the cloud will not save you here.

also, make sure you're current on your vaccines. and that all your ID and documents are up to date. Renew that passport.

because the fda, cdc, and state department are about to go to hell, too.

how are we even in this position again? insanity. pure insanity. but protect yourself, and be ready to protect your vulnerable loved ones. shit is about to get real bad.

RIP Dame Maggie Smith (1934-2024)

Maggie Smith wraps her last scene on Downton Abbey.

How did the cast and crew commemorate Maggie Smith’s last scene? “She was so respected by all of the directors and crew and the other actors,” said Neame. “So I made a little speech about how it has been a privilege for all of us, that none of us will ever forget the work that we’ve seen her do. And of course she hates all that kind of flattering. So she was saying, ‘Oh don’t!’ And she was sort of burying her head in her hands saying, ‘Oh don’t go on about that!’ But it was true. I mean, it’s a real privilege to work on a TV show with her all that time.” (x)

I’m sure when we see Cousin Violet’s roses, it will be hard to think they could be bettered. Hard, but not impossible.
