Audrey with a d

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.

sisko: yes. overall a good driver. serious about "defensive driving" and believes everyone should know how to drive manual in a pinch. gets annoyed when people don't respect zipper merging

kira: she got one as an adult after a few attempts, but was definitely driving both cars and other vehicles/equipment illegally as a kid and had to rein in some of those "seat-of-the-pants" driving habits

jadzia: yes and is a pretty good driver but has collected a few speeding tickets over the years

o'brien: yes and somehow ended up de facto driver's ed instructor for other ds9 folks trying to get one. it is very stressful

worf: yes and is a solid driver overall but the road rage is crazy when people cut him off or drive like assholes

bashir: yes. aced the written exam and knows all the rules well, but you CANNOT talk to or argue with him while he's driving or he becomes a distractible terror on the road

odo: yes and abides by traffic laws and speed limits perfectly (some may say pettily) which ironically makes him a bit of a hazard at times

ezri: no and she's scared to get one, but wants to eventually

quark: license chronically suspended

nog: similar to kira. got one later (after instruction from sisko and o'brien) and is a very good driver now but was an absolute menace on the roads as a teen

Garak: no licence, terrible driver, gets annoyed if you say anything, has lived on a space station for 8 years anyway.

Damar: super-competent; one of those people who is it at one with the machine.

Traditional spy gear.

I liiiive and I made a sequel to this drawing:

Round 1, Match 51 — Bashir/Garak (Star Trek: Lower Decks) vs. Mizi/Sua (Alien Stage)

Bashir/Garak propaganda:

“I love them both and this ship means a lot to me, and seeing it get canonized in at least some form in LD was HUGE. I also want to say how much I appreciate both actors for not only being so so supportive of the ship but honestly kind of being its #1 fan. It means a lot as a queer fan to see the people behind a piece of media saying "not only is the subtext genuinely there, and not only did we do it on purpose, but we love this relationship and what it means for these characters".”

Mizi/Sua propaganda:

"Mizi and Sua grow up together in a society where aliens keep humans as pets because of this they develop a codependent relationship. They are canonically very in love with each other and have multiple comics and scenes that showcase this love. For example: Sua's favorite person is Mizi and in the comic True Face Mizi tells Till(a guy friend) "Do you know who I love the most" "Sua" Additionally, they sing together in round 1, and it is said that Sua gave Mizi more lines so that she would win the round and, therefore, not die. Mizi also states that Sua would "practice" dying. This is because Sua, although very sweet and kind, she is very manipulative and obsessive, and she'd rather sacrifice herself than live in a world without Mizi. They are very toxic both in the original universe and in the zombie stage au, but they have a very interesting dynamic that makes them captivating and unique to many."

Happy to report Cheddar is bigger and better than ever.
