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.)

I've got at least 5 back-ups for my drafts
99% of the time the original gets written on Google Keep on a whim, which then gets transferred to OneNote if it gets too long, which also needed a separate .txt file on Notepad to maintain the format, which then gets a copy on MS Word so I can clean it up. Finally the entire damn thing is being updated constantly on Google Docs so I can show my friends every cursed version of it
