zippkat said: is your criteria for reasonably okay fanfiction different from ones you give kudos to? (sorry for all the questions)
I kudos any stuff I am happy to have read, pretty much. That includes horrifying stories that mess me up emotionally, because I enjoy having stories do that.
fun fact, i once accidentally kudosed a fic that i hated, and felt completely horrible about it. then i realized i wasn’t logged in and they would never know that anon was me. WHEW.
i try to leave comments whenever i can but i have a really noisy head and it’s very hard for me to talk to people sometimes :/
And They All Lived Fappily Ever After

Status Update: AO3 is A-OK, Be Back Soon!!
This is just a quick message to say that, due to a typo in our DNS, the Archive of Our Own is currently offline for some users. The error has already been fixed but it may take as long as 7 hours to propagate through the system. However we were not hacked or anything and we hope to be up as soon as possible. (Systems is telling us that this was a test of our communication and response teams…oh, wily wily Systems! Also typing is hard!)
We are sorry for the inconvenience and for any alarm. Also, it would be best not to click the links, submit info, or order any mail order brides.
Systems will have a fuller report on the problem soon for those who want the dirty details. Otherwise stay tuned and thank you for your patience!
AO3 NOOOO
oh jesus AO3 got hacked aaaaaa
don’t go there it’s a redirect to some bullshit
please be ok you’re the best website :(
Oh thank god, we’re cool. Just don’t go there for a few hours while the DNS propagates and the scammy shit goes away.
I took the OTW Community Survey!
hehehe I put in a vote for a vetting process for potential new AO3 members
I’m a snobby snob
