Amanda Jane is a 30-year-old writer, social media lover and pop-culture obsessed adult*. While she isn't working on her novel, she enjoys watching television shows, wondering about the YouTube business model for vloggers, movies and reading any books she can get her hands on. She might be made up of 20% coffee and 80% sarcasm.
*An adult when her parents are looking.
It’s almost time, kids. The clock is ticking. Be in front of your TV sets for the “Horrorathon”. And remember the big giveaway at 9:00. Don’t miss it. And don’t forget to wear your masks. The clock is ticking. It’s almost time.
AO3 is an excellent website and I encourage everyone who can afford it to donate
Do people remember what AO3 stands for?
Archive of Our Own. <b>Our Own.</b> That means we thought of it, designed it, built it, and run it. And yes, pay for it. If you can’t or don’t want to contribute, you can still read everything on the site. If you want a say in how things are run, you can contribute as little as $10, and you can vote in elections. That amount hasn’t gone up since the archive was created, by the way.
I hate pulling this “young whippersnapper” crap, because I hated when it was done to me, but if you’ve never known fandom without AO3, you have no idea what it was like. Nothing is free. Before AO3, either individual authors paid for their websites, or a webmaster did, or you used a free host. Readers were always at the mercy of whoever was paying.
