The Sabrina Carpenter Folklore Fuck Cabin

Rest in peace to the incredible Anthony Stewart Head (20th February 1954 - 1st June 2026)

Ferdinand is so valid...truly love him. Why would you not want Wonder Woman's minotaur chef around I ask.

“We’re spies. We’ve all faked our own death at one time or another.”

a real person looks at all abuse reports on AO3;

if enough people report a fic on AO3, AO3 won't let people keep reporting it, so that the volunteers' time isn't wasted going through 3000 reports;

IF it violates AO3's terms of service the author gets a warning and plenty of time to amend the violation;

most AO3 TOS violations occur in the tags or author's notes and are things like linking to the author's patreon or forgetting to tag a major archive warning or CNTW -- things it's easy to fix!

the only common thing I see that AO3 would delete (after warning the author!) is "not a fanwork" violations, where someone posts a request for prompts or something, and there's no actual fic or art;

AO3 tends to err on the side of keeping something up because they are a not-for-profit dedicated to giving fanworks a place to exist online, not a for-profit website that needs ad revenue to stay up.

If people are harassing authors, that sucks and authors should take measures they deem necessary to be comfortable. If they want to, yeah, they can delete their fics. It's always a good idea to download your favorite fics, because fics get deleted all the time for lots of reasons. But AO3 isn't out here deleting fics without warning and for no reason.

Dumb n00b behavior on AO3 has been constant for years because AO3 is super popular now and thus has a steady stream of new people all the time, not just when Wattpad, FFN, et al. do something.

TBH, I'm more concerned about the Wattpadders I see who are like "Guys, it's okay! The guidelines are only so they can delete the bad stuff with no artistic merit!"

Wattpad has never been the place for dd:dne content. They are cracking down on it further. from what i can tell, you can only write about rape, incest, etc if it is from an educational standpoint or just a general discussion as part of the story line. i wouldn't be surprised if this leaks over into cnc as well.

The biggest changes I saw in their new guidelines were not in regard to sexual content but rather violence, suicide mentions, rape, incest, etc. They are requiring things to be marked Mature that were not required before.

wattpad has also always been full of people who report a fic for anything they do not like. i expect that to increase.
