Our Commitment to Maximum Inclusivity
AO3 was founded partly in response to a growing trend of fanworks being removed from websites that had previously allowed them. This pattern has been observed numerous times throughout fandom history.
Whenever there are fears about censorship on other sites, AO3 sees an increase in the waitlist for our automatic invitation queue. Regardless of their reasons for joining, we welcome any new user to our site who agrees to abide by our Terms of Service. We will not vet new users for "legitimacy", because AO3 is for everyone.
The OTW has no plans to change the content we allow on AO3, and we stand by our commitment to maximum inclusiveness of fanwork content. We will not remove works unless they violate the AO3 Terms of Service, and we don't make decisions based on how many times something is reported. Users do not need to worry that anyone's works will be taken down due to a baseless report or a mass-reporting campaign, if one were to occur.
Regarding the unverified rumors that reports to the Policy & Abuse committee have greatly increased in the past few days, changes in ticket volume can be due to many different factors (including simple coincidence). If you're interested in learning more about how many and what kinds of reports the Policy & Abuse committee receives, we publish information about the previous month's tickets in our monthly newsletters as well as an annual breakdown of ticket types on the OTW website.
☁️ New Chapter Update ☁️
It is time for an update my friends. I realized that I did update two fics a little while ago but never posted them here but it’s been a while either way so it’s good to get something out.
My training for my certification has been going very well and I even got moved to an advanced group which is pretty cool. About seven more weeks until it ends and I take my exam but I’ll try and find room to get some more chapters out. So, without further delay, here is our next update!

Life Update
Life has been loud in some not great ways. Nothing majorly devastating but just very demanding. Work especially has been rough as we’re dealing with being incredibly understaffed and when you have people like me who are good at the job and dependable, it feels like we’re constantly bearing the brunt of it and getting pulled every which way.
For the past few months, it’s been work and come straight home and crash and wake up and do it all over. Still understaffed but things appear to be on the mend so here’s hoping for a little relief soon.
In better news, this has driven me to take some matters regarding my career into my own hands. I just started training for a certification that my employer is covering and with the support of my mentor. This can help me not only make a very good amount of money but would get me out of my current position which severely goes against my more introverted nature. Training is going well and I’m feeling very good about it.
Stress has been making me sick on and off so I hadn’t been able to see most of my family since Christmas since I was getting sick like every other weekend. Finally got out this weekend to hang out and though my family is far from perfect, I’m so thankful for them. There’s so much love and support there which I don’t take for granted.
I also had a birthday last weekend. I’m very anti-celebration for my own birthday and just like to use that day to relax and do as much or as little as I want. Getting to see another year is always a blessing.
Writing had to take a backseat to a lot just with how little time, energy, and mental bandwidth I’ve had. I’ve attempted to get some things done but haven’t been successful at getting more than a few sentences or paragraphs without my brain just shutting down. I even tried to do a one shot on my birthday to post as a gift but couldn’t get it done. So much of my mental energy is going towards trying to focus and get stuff done at work that the second I leave, my brain just sort of cuts off anything that isn’t basically directly contributing to moving around and keeping me alive which sucks tremendously.
I am, of course, not abandoning any of my works and should be able to get back to it soon once things lighten up a bit. My training for my certification is about 10 weeks and while I’m certain I’ll post updates while I’m training, I do want to be transparent that this is going to take priority. If I don’t do well, I have to pay my job back and it costs a pretty penny so I gotta make this a priority as much as possible.
As always, I appreciate you all and your patience during these periods of hiatus. I truly believe that once I’m out of my current role, these will be far more infrequent. I’ll have way more flexibility in my schedule and getting to work back office which will be infinitely better for me mentally.
The next time I post will be with updates so I appreciate you sticking with me just a little bit longer.

Today we remember the 49 lives lost and countless others forever changed on June 12, 2016, at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. What was meant to be a night of joy, music, and pride became one of unimaginable tragedy.
We honor the memory of those we lost—most of them young, queer, and Latinx—and we stand with the survivors, the families, and the community still healing.
Let this day be a reminder: queer joy is powerful, queer spaces are sacred, and love must always outshine hate.

Doing a final project in my stats class, we have to pick a subject and collect data on it. We need at least 100 data points, and I figured this blog is big enough that a poll on here could get to that pretty easily!
Doing my project on if it’s more likely to be born in certain months :]
I have gotten the OK from my teacher to collect data using a Tumblr poll, btw. I’m also going to have to send her this post as proof of where I got the data from / proof I didn’t just make up the numbers. So. Behave

rest in peace eryka caldwell. she was a 41 year old trans woman of color stabbed to death by her boyfriend. she had so much life left and yet it was cut short by this man. i hope the world can be better for trans women of color, sooner rather than later.
Rest in peace, Eryka. You seemed like such a beautiful soul that brought so much love and joy to those around you.
I'm glad the world had you. I just wish it could have had you for longer.
Often we think of intimate partner violence, or IPV, as a mostly cishet problem. In actuality, IPV is just as prevalent within the LGBTQ community. (Source)
Eryka's partner had a history of violence towards her. She was staying in shelters as recently as January according to her sister. (Source) Some studies indicate that Trans femmes are at a higher risk of IPV (Source)
In case anyone (esp queer individuals) needs to hear this: you are important and you are worthy. If your partner puts you down or makes you feel like you can't leave them, that's not love. Take care of yourself and be safe 🤍
