"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

Oi

I don't think we as a community are talking about Bryan's " That's my boy" enough!!!!

First " You make me dream" and now this,this man is feeding into Charles' praise kink right on national television (complementary), I love him😭

So,now that Lewis is the co-chair at the met gala next year,does that mean Charles could attend?!😭

I really would want to see Charles on the met,but more than that I want to see Alexandra there, I just know she'll slay!!!!

I hope Lewis can make his teammate attend. 💅

Friends are not supposed to get too close

And feel emotions that we're feeling now,now,now

We ain't slowing down,down,down

But once we cross the line

There's no denying,you and I

Can never turn around, 'round 'round

Know we'll never be the same.

Can't stop thinking about how 'Reflections' by

' The neighborhood' is so brocedes coded..

"We were too close to the stars,

I never knew somebody like you, somebody

Falling just as hard

I'd rather lose somebody, then use somebody"

Me when it's an essay for college: 5k words is so long😭😔

Me when it's ao3: 5k words is so short, I need to sit in the author's lap and have a heart to heart 😀

Just when I thought no edit could ever hurt me the way the max ‘who’s afraid of little old me?’ edit hurt me
