AO3 Etiquette

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.

If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.

This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

I like to think Bruce will just tell Hal “fuck you” in private, and nobody believes Hal. First of all, Batman can be harsh, but his criticisms do have a point and he makes a big deal about keeping the league professional and not letting intrapersonal relationships get in the way. Second of all, Hal a). has a known reputation for exaggerating things and b). already hated Bruce’s guts before this. Third of all, Bruce is great at fudging footage and audio. It’s like the boy who cried wolf.

“Batman told me to go fuck myself!” “Sure he did, dude. You gotta stop telling lies about the guy just because you hate him.”

Anyways I love your characterization of Bruce hating Hal in an extremely petty way because Bruce, is at heart, a bitch. Bless.

(Inspired by a quick line in this fic )

Hal is Batman/Superbat’s #1 hater and nobody else gets it. They all like Batman and think he and Clark are cute?

They have no idea how much Bruce torments him a la Captain Ray Holt by doing something bitchy and walking away hissing “nobody will ever believe you!”

"Run you clever boy" "run like hell because you'll always need to" "fear doesnt have to make you cruel or cowardly, fear can make you kind" "never be cruel, never be cowardly" "laugh at everything because it's always funny" "run fast, laugh hard, be kind"

As someone who grew up with siblings, I just can't stop thinking about Nightwing and Red Hood getting into a fight in costume and Nightwing slapping his hand over Red Hood's mouth to get him to shut up, temporarily forgetting that he can still talk through the helmet, and Red Hood retaliating by trying to lick Nightwing's hand and accidentally just licking the inside of his helmet.

listen I ended up regretting saying anything about this on my old blog because people will interpret literally any and every statement maliciously on this hellsite but I want to start like. a helpline for people who are like “hey I pretty much only read YA but I’m like 22 now and don’t relate to teenagers as much, it’s such a shame that there are no fun books written for adults :(” because boy HOWDY are there some fun books for adults

Ambient pressure temperature superconductors!!! I'm shaking like a Chihuahua rn,

Before I go overboard I gotta say I don't think this has been like, confirmed officially yet, I think South Korea is claiming they have this but haven't shared enough specifics for it to be like, completely confirmed that their work is credible, but for sake of my interest in the subject I'm gonna talk about it like it is legit!

BECAUSE if it is legit that means we can revolutionize power, making basically every electrical system more efficient and as a result more productive and sustainable, less heat/energy lost through resistance and generally heat diffusion!!!!

Computers can be designed super efficiently, they won't need any/as much dedicated to cooling systems like fans or whatever, and overheating wouldn't be an issue/as big of an issue.

Apparently they claim that a combo of certain materials, when heated, react to form a superconductive material, but they showed a video of their mystery substance only sorta levitating on a magnet, and they claimed that their sample was off a bit because of impurities which makes me skeptical about the whole thing because could they not have made a more pure version and showcased that, how can they claim they exhibit the meissner effect if their own video only sorta shows it. Although apparently South Korea shared all this info with the intention that other people would replicate their experiment and get better results and I don't see why they'd share an imperfect test result and encourage others to do it better if they were just trying to trick people so I feel like it's probably good faith but you never rly know.

But also the magnet test was very eh to me, like, it's very easy to replicate that effect so idk, plus the magnetic effect isn't exclusive to superconductors, it could indicate a lot of things.

But theoretically if we did have a superconductor that can work under ambient temp and pressure conditions then thats really fucking cool. The way they did it too it's very easy to produce and uses basic lab equipment that most labs of that discipline would already have which makes mass production (probably years away tho) a hopeful possibility, like, imagine a phone/computer that doesn't overheat, also the amount of energy we can actually use will be increased a lot, which makes sustainable energy sources more viable and allows us to get more use out of other energy sources we already have!

It will also help us develop new tech for limiting temp gradients in a large variety of applications!!!

But again, this isn't by any means proven yet, it's just a claim that still has to be peer reviewed and replicated so we will see but it's an exciting concept! There are still a lot of issues with their credibility rn but it could be due to other things so hard to say now, I'm fully aware that theres a good chance this isn't the real breakthrough and it's just a mistake or a fluke, but the concept of superconductors that can operate under standard conditions is so exciting I want to talk about it!!!!

@4doatmeal

what are your thoughts on this?? You used to study physics specifically so you might know more and/or also be interested in the concept

I myself am not fully educated on this topic, physics is not my specialty, some of my info might have been misunderstood or something, I will be discussing it and learning about the topic further in the coming hours/days so I might update later.
