Lol

oh god it's that time of the year again, so here are some quick reminders:

The content allowed on AO3 is legal according to American law. This is a sensible place to draw the line when your explicitly stated aim is to have a fanfiction site where the content is not subjected to random purges for obscure reasons

AO3 is run by a non-profit organisation. Nobody is making any money out of this, and when the donation drive goal is exceeded, excess money will go to running the site in the future and fighting potential legal battles for the right to create fanworks

It's possible to donate to AO3 and various charities etc, stop acting as though every cent donated to AO3 is a cent taken from "people who need it more"

"Fiction affects reality" yes but the fiction that actually has a societal impact is the latest heteronormative, subtly racist, mass marketed drivel from Disney, not that one properly tagged incest PWP fic with 150 hits and 40 kudos on AO3

Today is my birthday and I would like to ask for something.

So one of the things about my life is that my parents were really terrible at building life skills and sharing sound life advice and practical adulting skills.

If you are a parent yourself, or you’re great at adulting, or you were lucky enough to have great parents, or you’ve been in that place and learned and have something you would have told your past self, or you simply want to be a pal and do a good deed, reblog this and share a bit of sound advice, the more mundane the better.

You know Meg may be an iconic Disney princess but she didn’t last long in the actual mythology.

Hera holds grudges.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.
