Tumblr is in blackrom w Twitter now Ao3 is their new Matesprit

Urgh, why is AdBlock preventing me from logging into things? Anyone having issues with the extension atm?

So I saw THIS POST today and was surprised by my somewhat visceral reaction. Not because I disagree (OP and the reply both make incredible points that I concur with wholeheartedly) but because the idea that fandoms should reject the idea of widely recognizing ANY singular fic feels wrong.

While I very much dislike the implementation of what are essentially Rosetta Stone characterizations that everyone else must adhere to or die, there IS something to be said about community-recognized crack fics.

If you were on the internet throughout the early 2010's then you've probably heard about "The Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles", "Cupcakes" (as attributed to Sergeant Sprinkles), "The Skin Fic", or the "Worm Fic" (may it rest in WattPeace) and of COURSE the all-time champion of wild fics: "My Immortal".

While you shouldn't use any singular fanfic as the basis for your entire interpretation of a fandom, definitely seek out the weirdest shit you can find and share it with your friends. Or do me one better and write the weird shit yourself!

You ever get an ask so outrageously ludicrous, you have to read it one more time before you hit "delete".

Y’aaaaalllll, it’s old Google without all the SEO garbage and advertising!

[Image ID: Image 1 shows the personifications of the Homestuck, Super-who-lock and Warrior Cats fandoms in the Homestuck art style. They are seated in a room with a ball pit in the background, and a sign that reads “2012 cringe fandom support group”. Dialogue follows. Homestuck: Where’s Onecler? Super-who-lock: Probably still upset about the sexy-man poll. Warrior Cats: tch, those twittypets don’t know anything! End dialogue. Image 2 shows a personification of tumblr kicking open the door, drawn like the Phineas and Ferb meme and yelling: “GUYS HOLY FUCK”. Image 3 shows tumblr pointing dramatically towards the camera, dialogue follows: The twitter users are coming so we have to make this place as inhospitable as possible. So grab your Tardises and your quadrants and your plinko horses, we’re firing shots to keep the rent down. Image 4 shows a close-up of the Warrior Cats fandom looking in awe. Dialogue follows: Warrior Cats: Oh can we call ourselves tumblr-clan? Tumblr: That’s... the best idea I’ve heard all goddamn day. Maximum cringe, tumblrinas! end ID]

"the internet is written in ink. once it's online it's forever."

YEAH SURE IF IT'S POPULAR AT THE TIME PEOPLE CAN GRAB SCREENSHOTS AND WAYBACK MACHINE IS A THING BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OLD RECLISTS HAVE BROKEN LINKS AND HOW MANY LIVEJOURNALS HAVE BEEN PURGED AND HOW MANY OLD WEBSITES WERE NEVER ARCHIVED EVER AND NOW I CAN"T JUST BROWSE?!

the internet is a freaking graveyard, ok. the names are inscribed in stone but are faded and unless the person was famous we'll never know who it is. Also matter how much I dig I'm only gonna find bare bones (if that) in so many cases. It's only as permanent as we make it.
