Do you enjoy reading free fanfics on Ao3? Here are a few things to do to keep that content available:

1. Keep it legal by NOT trying to make money off of it and reporting any you see online trying to SELL fanfics.

I’ve devoted a lot of thought and research to my fic binding policy and I will continue to grant my permission for individuals to bind my work themselves or to pay a reasonable fee to a reputable custom binder for personal use, assuming the binding does not use AI artwork and credits artist’s work used in the binding. I will not accept a gift copy myself, but would appreciate being able to post a copy to my socials to promote the fic and the binder.

2. Don’t review fanfics on Goodreads or leave scathing comments on Ao3. Fics are free work created in people’s spare time and gifted to the fandom for free. Don’t be a dick and rate it on the same standards as published works and don’t debate character motives or canon in the comments. This makes posting stressful and icky. Debate shit on tumblr with people who enjoy that shit.

3. Don’t upload fics to AI. That’s just gross. Send a respectful ask if you want a new scene or a different ending and only if you think the writer is interested in hearing that sort of request. A quick check of their socials can tell you.

4. Follow @ao3org and don’t stress the archive during maintenance. Be gentle with our girl.

quick reminder that it’s ok to say that you love reading and that reading is your passion without reading 30+ books in a year. if you connect with books and love the power of the written word, you’re bookish. you don’t need to justify your love of reading.

Goodreads 1 star reviews complaining about how the book was trying to be "edgy". Babes you picked up a book about sci-fi necromancers with a cover of an aviator-wearing skull-painted lesbian and you weren't expecting to run into any edge lords or emos? That's not the book's fault, that's a skill issue

this was a good read

#honestly this is also why i can't stand the ya only crowd. i read SO much fucked up 80s and 90s YA as a kid #like YA can in fact be good (though it's still directed at teens)#but the sanitized versions goodreads adults are demanding aren't really fun for anyone #also i read both ya and adult books as a teen. i think you need to.

how many books do I want to read? all of them. there is no limit. my frail body will one day be crushed under the weight of my tbr pile and my mind will rejoice at all the lives I have lived, at all the new words that I have learnt and yet there will still be more books that I wish to read. i am simply a gaping chasm that only books can fill.

Goodreads has become nothing more than a fractured reflection of an industry that demands the blending of art and commerce, where actual communal relationships and authentic, good-faith reviews vanish

I keep seeing lists and recs for short books/stories to cram in before the year is up to meet the “reading goal” and it makes me feel sad that I know how that feels. I feel sad that people need to feel rushed to read.

Slow down, friends. Read what you want, read what you must, but don’t force yourself to consume. I feel like reading should be about quality over quantity.
