wank

[memorizingthedigitsofpi]

I'm currently on the very outer edges of wank surrounding someone who should probably be listed with the MsScribes and Cassie Clares of fandom but somehow doesn't have much of a fanlore page at all.

Four days ago, I had no idea they existed. Now, the iceberg floats by me as I try not to get sucked underwater so that I can see the rest of the story.

One more topic to add to my never-ending list of fan studies papers I'll never actually write: Parasocial Relationships and Fandom BNFs

Instead, I think I'll just work on my own version of "AO3's Terms of Service for Dummies"

Sounds like people still see you as some kind of Official AO3 Representative 😂 Kudos for taking the time to explain things to people in DMs and giving them a chance to understand though, I always get wary when things move to private channels in this context!

Looking forward to seeing more of you on Dreamwidth if coming back had been brewing for a while :D If you'd like tips for active comms or anything else, I've got plenty :D Right now I wonder if you might find meta_warehouse interesting, in particular.

I had already reblogged a Bernie Sanders meme of "I am once again asking you to realize I'm not an official AO3 account" after I got the second tag about a case. Then this BNF one started up. I honestly don't know how to get it across that a blog called "ao3 comment of the day" is not official. I mean. C'mon people! lol

I should definitely poke around a bit more! and thank you for the rec :D
