  1. I’ll disagree to the auto-fill disclaimer too. Simply because the authors should THINK about it, that it’s fanfiction (or not), and what the copyright position is in their work. (Not sure if the field enforces a minimum length, but it ought to… say, at least 16 characters?) Second, I concur some distinction on the tags would be nice, whether the tag is considered more of a warning (ie scat CYA) vs an advertisement (ie exhibition tag due to persistent nudity). Custom tags would be nice, from an author’s POV. However, it’s also a bit frustrating on AO3 to know if I’ve got *EVERY* applicable tag for my story, so I clicked the “author chooses not to use tags” and proceeded to tag the heck out of it, along with “maybe I missed some?”. Databases – combining them might be advantageous, along with a single (new) URL; though you’d have to preserve old URLs for a while, if not forever. If combined, then it’s resolve the category issue for crossovers, letting them show up under both, without having duplicates in the database. Other improvements could also be had, but even switching to another software (commercial or otherwise) requires having people & time to execute it. Volunteering?
  2. Sure we do, same reason we used to need hangings to be done in front of the courthouse in the public square… “deterrence”
  3. Always lovely, exercising the emergency generator option.

      Well, it’s good I have the generator option, small thing, enough to keep the fridge & computer (or CPAP) running.  But sucks to go out in the middle of the night to have to fire it up – at least I don’t bother putting the extension cords away, so they’re easy to pull into the house & plug things into.

  4. @Thundercloud The sense of entitlement that person had in the subsequent posts, that’s what unnerved me.
  5. In a rarity, I actually found myself offended, and it’s by the very notion this anonymous “guest” suggested and their unknown ulterior motive. This website is a large community of authors that have entrusted their IP and stories to the archives in the hopes it’ll get read and enjoyed by others. It’s appalling to think somebody has the nerve to think they can simply waltz in and try to buy the website out; who knows what they’d do with it?
  6. 39612 This is a postal code in the province of Cantabria in northern Spain, for (i think they’re cities) Cianca, Parbayon, and Riosapero. It’s factors are 1,2,3,4,6,12,3301,6602,9903,13204,19806. Sum of its digits is 21, blackjack!
  7. 39610. Let’s factor it down. 233, 17, 5, 2, & 1. While there is no US zip code for it, there is one in Mexico. Sum of its digits is 19.
  8. 39608 And yes, I can handle big numbers
