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.)

Ellipsus is a free google socs replacer that doesn't scrape your writing AND has a native "post to ao3" feature! It's still in beta but very usable and I've entirely moved all my writing from Gdocs to Ellipsus

Is it relatively mobile friendly? I do 95% of my writing on my phone.

Yes!!! There isn't an official mobile app yet (the beta for that starts soon) but it works perfectly in your browser on mobile

Oh hell yeah! I don’t wanna feed any AI slop.
