Small reminder that you should really download your favorite fics off of AO3. We are seeing mass censorships well as the chance that anything, such as another severe DDoS attack can shut down the site making works unaccessible and possibly lost for good.
If you do not know how to download fics, it is a simple 2-button click. I've written a tutorial here.
You think your stuff is safe until it's suddenly not, and then often times it's too late.
This post starts with AO3, (because it seems to be the common denominator across all users on this website /joking) but I recommend extending preservation efforts to anything online if you can manage to download it.
I'm not saying panic and start buying tons of storage devices to hold immense amounts of stuff. A cheap usb can hold plenty of things. You don't have to stop using services still available if it's more convenient to read books on your phone than to fill your backpack with 7 of them.
But you should still get (either buying or creating) physical versions because nothing is guarantee that it will remain forever. From shows being pulled from streaming services, to banned books, to losing access to digital copies of media because the service doesn't support it anymore, the account is lost, or the company goes under. This goes for messaging platforms as well. Your role-plays with your friends on discord can be lost forever, your photos can too.
This doesn't even include media most vulnerable to censorship and how quickly it can be removed, and quietly.
You think it will not happen to you, it will. Do not wait for unforeseen circumstances. Go back up and preserve what you can, your future self will be happy that you did.

Digging this from the grave to remind everyone that Malleus jokingly offered to kiss you during his first Valentine's return gift. The fairies' gifts he was talking about were beauty, song, and true love's kiss.
They never did anything as brazen as this one anymore the next Valentines' LOL. Malleus was too aggressive and everyone received a restraining order

The biggest compliment ever is when someone sees your creative work and says that they’re now inspired to go out and create something, too

My dream as a writer isn’t to get published and make a lot of money, it’s to have a fanbase devoted enough that I can post a story about a background character that had four lines or drop a piece of obscure lore and they go crazy over it

It doesn't matter if that fic has been in your drafts for years and is now self-indulgent to the point of parody. If Steven Moffatt is allowed to do it professionally, you are allowed to do it for fun.
