Fanfic isn't a possession.

When an author deletes a work on AO3, they haven't taken anything from the readers. It's not a physical object that can be snatched away, and if readers wanted a digital copy to keep, AO3 made that possible. It is the reader's choice whether or not to keep a copy. The author has absolutely no say over whether or not they do this.

If you have a favorite exhibit at the museum, and that exhibit closes for whatever reason, nobody "stole" art from you. Same thing with whatever play is currently at your local theater--it's temporary, and when it closes, the actors didn't take away your entertainment. Before streaming and box sets of tv shows being sold at Target, all of television was ephemeral, too. You caught it or you didn't.

I don't know why there is an expectation that fanfic should be permanently made available to readers. The archive certainly gives a place where that can happen, but there is no reason to assume that it always will happen, nor that readers are entitled to that.

There are many reasons to delete a fanfic--not orphan, not post anonymously, but delete. It's fine to be disappointed if that happens. It's not fine to harass authors or try to wrest control of the work from them or create archives full of stolen work.

"don't you just want to have fun" is so true about 911 fans...so many people just hate so many characters and so many things about the show...why are you watching!!

Crazy how the people accusing Palestinians of being scammers do fucking nothing else to help them! It's almost as if they're just looking for an excuse to be racist and ignore people suffering in a genocide :O

[butch-bakugo]

Why are vetted accounts sending people stuff like this.

I mean it's clearly copy-pasted and sent to multiple people but this isn't even a donations ask. Imma guess the reason people aren't responding is because you're accusing them of not doing enough for Palestine and sending it to multiple people who you clearly don't check because I've been posting about and for Palestine since oct 7th when I learned about it.

Also yes he is looking for donations, you can check his account and find it. Why are you sending this guilt trippy stuff to people and accusing them of not caring enough? You don't know me? You send these to multiple people so your clearly not checking the account in question. This dose nothing to help you personally or the Palestinian cause, it just pisses people off and makes them question vetters.

I'm not going to argue with imbeciles who don't even have the guts to come out of anonymous.

[aqueousablution]

He/him aroace tgirl MMZ-era Zero. You agree.

[proshipconfessions]

A lot of good confessions. Thank you all for keeping nuance in your asks while discussing things and/or asking me for input. Let me reiterate that if you’re sending asks about legitimate problems and discomfort due to them, you are not any of the yappers that I complain about and I’m not like… ignoring or deleting your asks in protest. I just became incredibly busy irl and a few of these seem to ask my input, and I’m a huge yapper who fully intends to write like a wholeass essay in response to them lol.

My mother has requested I publically apologize for the last several posts. There is nothing wrong with being pregnant and it was wrong of me to be cruel to my Aunt Kimberly. I will also be taking a break from tumblr for a while. Here is also proof I apologized to my Aunt and admitted I was wrong.
