Periodic reminder that Archive of Our Own was created to be a repository for all written fanworks without regard to inherent worth, morality, ethicality, artistic merit, or intelligibility. As long as the posting of the work does not violate US law, falls within fair use standards, and does not directly harass individuals, it can be posted on Archive of Our Own.

Efforts to further limit the scope of what can be posted and stored on Archive of Our Own will fail, because Archive of Our Own is a repository much like the internet or the Library of Congress pre-21st century (back when it kept a copy of every publication printed in the United States). As long as you are able to find objectionable material on the internet or in a library, you will be able to find objectionable material in Archive of Our Own.

People get upset with the lack of moderation on Archive of Our Own because they view it as "the place to go to read fanfic." But when it was created, there was no goal for Archive of Our Own to be a destination fanfic reading website. Most people who first used it would publish on other sites (LiveJournal, fanfic.net, message boards, and various fandom-specific sites) to be read and commented on, and add a backup copy to Archive of Our Own so that it would be preserved in case it was ever removed from the original website/the original website went down. In other words, it was used as an archive, just like in the name.

AO3 can still be used this way! You can do your primary fanfic reading and writing on other sites, then back up your own works to AO3 for safekeeping.

Even better, if you object to the content that you find on AO3 and don't want to use it to find fanfic, or don't want to post there because you feel that posting there would be tantamount to endorsing AO3's mission, Archive of Our Own will hand you the tools you need to create your own site with more restrictive guidelines!

How? The software Archive of Our Own runs on is open source and the entire code is posted on github, along with advice for implementation.

Not everyone is comfortable searching for fanfic on Archive of Our Own for fear of encountering triggering or objectionable content. By creating more fanfic sites and repositories with their own focuses and guidelines, we can create the safe spaces in fandom that people are looking for without endangering the archival mission of Archive of Our Own.

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

Absolutely fascinating to see how the Harry Potter ships go on AO3.

Going to put a bunch of ships in the tags simply so other people can see this and weigh in because I think it's fascinating.

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

Someday we will have a cartoon show where the cat is male and the dog is female but the world is not ready for that yet

I don’t know what to do with myself now that we finally have the trio cast LOOK AT THEM

Columbo would have seen thru Kira’s bullshit right away. And after all we don’t even know his first name do we? That’s right, we don’t. The lieutenant is always prepared

Pedantic nitpickery of the day: “death of the author” and “fuck canon I do what I want” are not the same thing.

Which is not a critique of the “fuck canon” approach to fandom, that’s just not what Death of the Author means.

i never see positivity for us so: if you had bad grades, dropped out, or cheated your way through school i love you so much and you deserve the world <3

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Percy Jackson Online Festival

Hey guys, I had this idea a few years ago about a fandom event. I want to organize a festival with competitions and reading sessions for the month of August (Percy’s birth month yay!) and September (before the release of the Tower of Nero).

Here’s my proposal: 1.Group Reads based on reading speed and the number of books wanted to be read (individual discretion to choose categories)

2.Edits competition for video and picture collage edits. (You guys are so talented in these!!)

3. FANART contest (separate categories for digital and traditional art)

4. Headcanon and Alternate Scene writing Writing (didn’t like that scene in the books, well change it then)

Prizes would be cool certificates and perhaps lifelong friends. 

This is an endeavor of a huge scale and pros are that we all can have fun and do something in our spare time. Stressed? Get a freaking certificate for revisiting your tween-teenage years.  I’m thinking about making this a dual-platform festival (Instagram being the other-cuz many fans may not have a tumblr.)

Also did I mention shout-outs? No? Well the Winners will get shout-outs on both platforms.

Now all that’s left is blowing this post up. Tell your fellow fans and lets keep this fandom alive. Ya’ll don’t even need to follow me if ya’ll don’t want to.

SPREAD THE NEWS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

PERCY JACKSON WILL NEVER DIE

Peace out,

I want to see the different constellations of group chats and text chains on the different shows.

On Ds9 you of course have the O’Brien family chat with Keiko, Miles and Kira. Then there’s the Julian and Jadzia gossip text chain. Odo refuses to participate but occasionally receives funny cat pictures from Kira to which he always responds :), which he considers high praise.

Jadzia is almost everywhere, having installed the Ferengi app BarZ and being very active in the chaotic Klingon cyberspace where groupchats appear and disappear daily depending on today’s loyalties and vendettas.

Scorpius and Albus caught on their first date to Hogsmeade

March 2023

This.

I will never be able to express how much these drawings are beautiful and heartwarming and

Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.

not to be bitter but why is any amount of coding in media accepted for every orientation but aromanticism

ex. a character’s dialogue hints that they’re bi, the whole fandom accepts it with no arguments

but a character blatantly says they “love everyone in the same way” by which they mean platonic love? they never show a sign of being romatically interested in anyone? they are clearly confused at the idea of romantic love? everyone ignores it and ships them anyway

Bellatrix can't be Delphi's mother because she probably had menopause in 1997

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

I feel like we should submit a list to disney+...a hundred pages long list

things we MUST see or have in the pjo adaption:

aka disney+ if you fuck this up i stg im killing mickey damn mouse.

- first of all, please, please, PLEASE give us an age appropriate cast!! one of the beautiful things about pjo is that we watched them grow from being little eighth graders all the way up to seventeen and eighteen and we watched them become mature. i don’t know how many of you guys watched the dc show ‘gotham’ but i loved seeing a naive 12 y/o bruce wayne go through the troubles of gotham city up until 17, we’re growing with them the same way little ten year old me did when i had the books.

- second, do not and i repeat do NOT erase minorities - don’t remove nico being gay, don’t pull an ‘uwu i have adhd and dyslexia’ on near enough the entire plethora of characters, don’t whitewash people of colour. percy jackson is for everyone. that’s how rick made it.

- it would be awesome to have relatively unknown cast members, let their talents shine and give them the boost in popularity that things like harry potter gave daniel radcliffe, emma watson and such. as much as i like them, i don’t want finn wolfhard or the it/stranger things cast - give us new people.

- aphrodite - give her multiple castings. give us a curvy aphrodite, a trans aphrodite, poc aphrodite - everything! beauty is in the eye of the beholder, aphrodite is the epitome of beauty - not the conventional white, blonde, skinny standards of the west.

- do not gloss over the effect kronos has. he sliced and diced his own father before taking his place, he ate his children, he is pure evil. he manipulates luke and targets his faults, the same with ethan and his desire for recognition, kronos is the nightmare under your bed. 

- on the same point, don’t gloss over the deaths and the heroism of minor characters, silena’s bravery to lead the ares cabin, charlie’s sacrifice, ethan, lee fletcher’s death and the beautiful death and tragedy of zoe nightshade.

- show us may castellan. the mother who has no idea about the damage her son has done in his blinded rage, the vulnerability of a dying luke who finally saw he was tricked by someone eons older than her. show us the mother who still sits and waits, baking cookies for a boy never to return.

- give us travis and connor stoll and all their shenanigans!

- please give me will solace, god i miss him.

- don’t make hades a bad man, he’s the best out of the big 3 and i’ll be damned if you do him dirty. he cares through actions, the god of the dead is not meant to be a man of words - hades is hospitable, he doesn’t kill or trick the way zeus and poseidon do. hades is kind in a world that hates him, his kindness is rare but it is there.

- alabaster c torrington! that’d be such an awesome cameo!

- don’t overdo the cgi and effects, the movies were guilty of using effects to hide up bad writing and a lack of knowledge of the book - don’t make kronos some hell demon during the battle of manhattan, he was in luke’s body. the only sign was his golden eyes, not demonic horns.

- just remember that a generation of people fought for this for years and we’ll stay fighting for it. the pjo fandom is powerful, long-lasting and frankly protective of the books that made us feel included and we want another to have that same chance.

don’t ruin this for millions and millions of people across the world.

I really feel like Television should enter an era of allowing happy endings. That’s not to say characters can’t suffer along the way or that storylines can’t be “dark” but I would really like to see stories end on hopeful notes. I’m so sick of every story having tragic endings, especially considering the world we live in right now. Call me naive, I don’t care, but hope breeds hope. Love breeds love. Happiness breeds happiness. Allowing our characters to overcome and find the light in the end is powerful. Allowing characters to be happy is brave because happiness is not boring. I feel like we’re surrounded by dark stories in fiction and in reality and I find myself wondering where’s the hope and happiness.. is no one overcoming the darkness?

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

((OOC: So I took a Sequential Illustration class this semester and we had to do 4 pages of a comic. So I chose to do a comic of the Hogwarts Founders surprise surprise. I used the Sorting Hat song from Order of the Phoenix as the narration. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! :) ))

grown up

I made a quiz, its 36 questions, and y’all, I play-tested this, I got feedback, I hyper-analyzed, its good. I wasn’t like, I was gonna just let hogwarts houses die but apparently y’all be like,,, not knowing what a slytherin or hufflepuff is no shade and if all these quizzes are gonna ask you this question anyways: this is it. Idiot tested. Idiot approved

Thank you @alessiajontrunfio for blessing our hearts again

I’ve re-read the prisoner of Azkban for the 5421665423578 time and every time Is like the first. I decided to make a comic about this part of chapter 12 (The Patronus) because with a few phrases I really feel Harry and Remus sadness an the emotion about the loss of James (and Lily as well). I can’t image how difficult it must have been for Remus not to be able to tell Harry everything. So, here it is a full-of-feels mini comic! Sorry, i’m getting emotional lately!
