Other than FanFictionFESTA & a few upcoming things (like Nanami Week) I'll be mostly away from socmeds - I can't cope with the world at large and my increasing mental health issues
As always, I'm available thru email, discord (unless it goes up in flames) and Tumblr DMs if anyone needs anything.
Might also actually open up writing commissions in the next couple of weeks --for real this time-- but I don't know. I feel like that'll flop hard and I don't know if I could take it.
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.

"Not dating or having sex isn't even a source of discrimination in real life-" How many rights and benefits are tied up in marriage contracts though? How much of our economic and societal structure is built with the clear expectation that people couple up and support each other? Where's the security nets and affordable options for people who will never have a partner/spouse to take care of them? How many people save serious commitment only for people they have a romantic and sexual relationship with? How many people will unquestionably prioritize their sexual and romantic relationship above all other social connections in their lives? And where does that leave the people who don't want that at all, ever?
AO3 will be down for about 2 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on August 21 (what time is that for me?) while we prepare some improvements to collection browsing. Please follow our status page for updates.

quite frankly i didn't realize enough people still used wattpad for this to be that big of an issue
Very clear that a good portion of people have never once read ao3’s Terms of Service. They think writing something they personally find gross is a reportable offense, and that harassment in any way is okay, especially if you’re harassing the author of said “gross” fics. Ao3 is an archive that prioritizes real people over fictional characters. Reporting fics based on what they’re about is not okay, but guess what? You can be rightfully reported for harassment, because harassment hurts real people, and real people take precedence over fictional characters and your personal discomfort.
Read the ToS and stop checking the “I agree” button for it if you actually don’t. Y’all are hitting “I agree” without bothering to read what you’re agreeing to, and then trying to enact your own rules that go against the actual ToS.
Your discomfort doesn’t matter here. There are filters for that. Being upset with a fic does not give you the right to falsely report it and harass the author. If you can’t handle that, then get off the fucking website. Ao3 is not a place for you.
Attentive readers were outraged by this phrase from Nanami about Gojo who "never cared about protecting people".
Now let's look through the earlier chapters:
1. Nanami openly states he has faith and trust in Gojo. By Gojo's request alone, he agreed on being a mentor for Yuji Itadori, a teen boy and a Sukuna's vessel officially executed. N.B.: If Jujutsu Society had learnt about Yuji's resurrection, Nanami likely would be in a lot of trouble.
2. Nanami immediately changes plans after learning that Gojo was sealed. Nanami heading towards the very center of thousands of deadly high rank curses, just to save Gojo Satoru (and eventually reaching his own death). Nanami openly states that if Gojo was sealed "it's all over for all humans in this country."
Conclusion: The airport scene was, indeed, just Gojo's imagination. Gojo subconsciously believes that since Nanami "doesn't respect him", this equally means "Gojo doesn't care about people". Which is obviously not the same.
Sometimes on the internet people will throw an abbreviation at you as if you’re supposed to know what it means and you’ll try to find out what it means but no matter what you do on any search engine all that comes up is some kind of dental supplies logistics company in Malaysia or something
Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
