Flip Side Chapters 8, 9, & 10

I plan to try and get out all three chapters for my readers today. I don't have any other plans, so keep your eyes out for it. Chapter 8 is going to be pretty intense, so be prepared for that!

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.

fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

I, too, have misread the sentence. Send me back to author school! 😅😭🤣

Preach I guess

Marko’s Patches

Patches Marko Needs to Add to his Jacket Pt.1

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

the self-indulgent fanfiction will continue until morale improves

This is my first ever time on tumbler, loves. Go easy on me.

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

AO3 Down?

I think AO3 might be down. I can't get it to work on my laptop or my mobile. I was going to post a second chapter to Flip Side today but it looks like that might not be possible. I'll keep checking but I'm sorry if I don't get the chapter up until tomorrow. That might just mean you'll all get three tomorrow instead.
