Fic Thread

I'm currently migrating all of my fic links over from Twitter and will try to keep them on this one post. Most (i think all?) are Kpop :-)

“Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of by the folk.” — Henry Jenkins (Director of media studies at MIT)

once again, read the business press. It's easy to lose hope sometimes but nothing reminds you how close we are to global class war as seeing the world through the eyes of a scared capitalist.

every city should hate its landlords like Berlin does

In the middle of a fanfic and this shit happens

The world hates me

i think that mb the problem the "tumblr is bad for artists" debate is running up against is, like, "good for building a capitalist career" is directly incompatible with usable, non-mentally-destructive social media? like the things that are good for people to start and maintain careers under capitalism (massive amounts of visibility, targeted demographic data available for advertising, socially prioritizing "transaction" over "interaction," emphasis on spreading and prioritizing content compatible with payment processors' preferences) are all antithetical to having a privacy-focused, user-curated social media experience where it's okay and expected to be "unprofessional." tumblr is bad for artists for the exact same reasons people find it to be the most palatable social media.

thinking about this again in light of the public staff infighting currently going on regarding core policies and the question of algorithmic vs chronological presentation of content.

here's the thing: staff's recently-released core policies are correct. algorithmic presentation of content is good for creators who need to establish careers. chronological presentation of content is actively bad for creators who need to establish careers.

you make more money when you're on a website that pushes your content to people who did not choose to see it. like, this is just objectively true.

it also makes for a significantly worse social media user experience. people who use social media primarily to socialize are actively harmed by the website infrastructure + resulting culture supporting career-building and profit motives. the reason staff is getting major pushback on this point specifically is because it objectively creates a worse environment for anyone trying to use the website to primarily socialize and build community networks. seeing content that you did not choose to see is extremely socially bad for people, while simultaneously being extremely good for the people making that content, and this applies to everything from tiktok-style influencer lifestyle videos to furry art commissions to ads for Dawn dish soap to DIY earrings from someone's etsy store.

i hope the ao3 volunteers are okay, dealing with a ddos attack while the whole community is crying must be very stressful.

As seen on the AO3 twitter status uptade:

so yeah, everyone please stop refreshing your fics, that just adds to the problem.

@emporium

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

An actual World Heritage Post

how does this post not have a million notes but anyone online can quote it

one week until ten years of Spiders Georg
