"I wanna write"

huge fan of the denreze akiangel parallels

the thing that makes akiangel so great is that their natures are at odds with each other, so if they were to grow and heal as people it would only be by loving each other. HE DID IT ANYWAY. I LOVE YOU DESPITE IT ALL. WHY??

ao3 isnt an archive NOR a library pls lmao

I see ao3 as a library, because ao3 hosts millions of written works for people to visit and read. That’s what libraries do. But I get it that to some people, the library part may be more of a metaphor than a literal meaning for ao3.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Librarian says yes, AO3 is a fucking library AND an archive. Does it have a curated collection of materials? YES, it’s library. Does that collection contain materials curated specifically in part for preservation purposes? YES, it’s an archive.
