I dont have much of a reach but I hope this gets to as many ao3 authors as possible
Ao3 has been mainstream for a while now, thats not the new problem. The discourse going on the past week/s revealed that ficdom etiquettes are lost and some of d site users no longer care about-

the wish for "engagement" isn't about metrics. the joy of writing to share is like the joy of giving a gift. it's not quid pro quo, you're not trading an item for gratitude. it just feels good to make something, hoping to elicit a feeling, then get to watch it happen. it's warm

Disclaimer first, I -ADORE- my readers. But if AO3 got rid of comments I would completely stop writing fic. I might as well only focus on my private works, if both of them net me zero feedback or community; I write fic to talk to people, but it’s not the only thing I write.
I think this is the foundation concept behind the vitriol towards writers we’ve seen since the AO3 shutdown. “Anyone can type/edit/post a fic”.
I’ve clocked over 300k words a year for three years, my acc is somewhere around a mil. Try it and let me know if it’s in fact work.
Ig some of my fics that I wrote for free, out of my love for creating, were scraped for this site to charge. Ig this is the future of AI, riding the labor behind human passion to make lazy people rich. Writing is my art; I’ve shared it since I was 15 because I love it.
The thing about this AO3 discourse is that yes, real writers will lose the motivation to write. But the demand is still there, so what I would expect is for amateur AI writers will jump to fill the gap. Unfortunately I think that’s why anti-writer posts are going crazy rn
PSA for the outage, I’m fine with sharing PDFs or GDrives with my fics in them. PLEASE DO NOT upload to another fanfic or social media site, if AO3 full on disappears I WILL UPLOAD MY OWN FICS. I have copies of everything, they’re not gone forever.
Ok but why am I emotionally attached to the lil anonymous icons for moots reading my Google Docs while AO3 is out 💀🥹
Well…I guess I’ll have plenty of new chapters locked and loaded for after the plague 🥲
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
I think there’s a polite way to give criticism as a readers, but you have to do it -as a reader-. Like, if you struggled to digest a scene transition, or if a major plot point was hard to pick up. That stuff can actually help us improve, rather than personal preferences.
