only thing gayer than the shit i write is me • she/her • hates lined paper • 🇨🇦 • 20+ • AO3: cafe_au_late • ENG|中文 header by @wryyyyn_ on twt • pfp by @jinglesouo on twt caard: https://bardigrade.carrd.co/

we aren't in a "fanfic recession" but that someone decided to use these terms to complain reveals the real problem; a lot of 'fans' are thinking like shareholders and executives, devaluing creative work, refusing to support the artists they have, and looking at everything with the lens of profit

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

We continue to make progress in the production of our zine and merch! Have a peak at the first little batch all made up! I'm planning to make a tumblr post detailing a bit of the process soon, so be sure to watch for that if you're interested.
