Fandom, we can be better.

I love the Archive of Our Own. LOVE IT. It's a site created and run by fans so that fanworks have a permanent home.

I do not care about the bells and whistles at all. I can go to this FREE site and find all the fic in the world I could ever want to read, by an amazing assortment of writers. I can easily post and maintain my own fic and comments, for free, and as a bonus, one of my truly happy-making things, Yuletide, is run through it.

It is AWESOME. I honestly do not understand when people criticise it for not being "easy enough". Seriously, are people so entitled now?


I do not have time to read everyone's viewpoints now. I have exams over the next few days, coincidentally while the OTW elections are running. Not that this is about me, or anything.

I am just saddened that people are getting hurt.
