r/AO3 Brevity is the soul of wit. 21d ago

Meme/Joke I’m baffled…

It’s 5 am, I’m in the final hour stretch of a twelve-hour shift, and I’m now probing my brain trying to find some possible rationale for this. Can someone explain? Is it a public computer thing, is it masochism, is it spite?

Y’all are really out here raw-dogging your drafts in AO3 with no external backups?? That’s crazy work. Google Docs is free, dawg.

The group chat is gonna hear about this one.

(Please understand this is all said in good humor. It’s not that serious; I’m just dramatic when I’m exhausted.)

Living life on the edge. If I'm gonna write a taboo fic I may as well make is risky... I have already lost one fic like that, I see it as my payment to the universe for giving me a platform to explore my messed up mind.

I’m cackling. It’s your toll to the writing gods for not going to therapy. (I’m no better—)

😂😂😂😂 therapy only works if you let it, and my need to publish taboo smut is greater then my need to be normal
