Doesn’t matter if you write in a frequent basis, or once in a blue moon, just how many of us are there?

The Auction: Part 8

While you were expecting Natasha to come through the door into the boardroom to discuss the upcoming mission, you were not expecting Steve and Bucky to be following her.

You were busy laying out the files they needed, the Manila folders containing handwritten case files and names of the suspected places of origin and the necessary targets that needed to be eliminated.

You were keeping your head down and your mind busy, trying to ignore the way they were looking at you. It was only when their eyes wouldn’t stray that you had raised your head and caught their gazes.

The Auction: Part 5

A/N: There is smut toward the end of the chapter so if you’d like to skip it, please do

Stark was nothing if not a man who enjoyed living in lavish luxury. The private runway that housed the private jets, was far enough outside New York to look completely untouched by the rat race in the big city. The hangar of the private runway was almost as big as the hangar on the proposed Avengers Compound design and layout.

The lavishness Stark enjoyed was carried over to the jet itself. When the three of you had first stepped on the private jet, with your bags already stored in the undercarriage, the interior looked nicer and bigger than most people’s apartments.

From the front of the plane, there was the captain’s cockpit that was sealed off in a black door, with sleek metal trim that had LED lights trimming the silver. The theme carries throughout the rest of the jet, or at least the portion you could see, with the black details carried throughout the headspace and the leather furniture set against the left and the right side of the jet.

The Auction: Part 3

“The metal box only works if you press the button.” The baritone and thick voice that came from your left had embraced an English accent, or something the like, and had briefly stolen your attention away from the buttons built into the elevator and onto the person behind the voice.

The moment you turned your head you recognized him. If any Avenger was easily recognizable from their image it would’ve been Thor, the God of thunder. He had changed quite a bit, with the loss of his eye and him cutting his hair short, yet the sheer size of him and the strength rippling in every fibre of his being was infamous.

“I know how the box-“ you stopped and chewed the inside of your cheek. “-I know how the elevator works I’m just…”

What the fuck

I really can understand if someone is unhappy with the ending. That's fine, because everyone has their own imagination of how the show should have ended. I really can understand that people are upset about Dean's death, about Cas and Eileen, about missing out opportunities.

What I can't understand, that you dump a whole fandom. That you give up on everything you have experiencend with the cast, the crew the #spnfamily. People, who call themselves fans, suddenly naming the show shit and dump and are regretting that they have spend years watching it. Just because of one episode, that didn't live up to the expectation they have on how the show ends.

To me this behavior is unfair and childish.

Endings are hard, sad, unfulfilling.... Even unsatisfying....

I just don't get how you can throw all those positive memories and experiences into a trashcan.

Explain this to me

Be nice and kind to everyone, not only in the various social media platforms, but also in the real life. Because we really don't know what is going in their lives.

Once you realise that, you maybe too late to even correct your mistakes. ❤🙏

We’re Hugo nominated authors y'all. We did it.

I can’t wait to get my plaque!

Wait, so anyone who has published fic on Ao3 is technically a Hugo nominee?!

Technically, the editors (organizers) are, so if you’re a member (have donated) to A03, you’re a Hugo nominee, I think??  But don’t quote me on that and don’t expect a nominee pin.

Nifty 😊

Nope, none of these people are Hugo Nominees! This particular award has nothing to do with content, it’s all about form–archiving and relating works to one another, hence why it’s being nominated for Related Works category. This means that the people really being nominated are the ones who came up with the idea for the Archive in the first place, and those who actually built and maintain the infrastructure on which it’s run! The coders, the tag wranglers, the designers… the heroes behind the scenes. These are the people who are nominated, and rightly so! 

It’s so important to recognize the tech whizzes behind the scenes. Firstly, because there are real people doing real, serious labour for free and they, like all fan creators, should be acknowledged and applauded like the rest of us. We tend to not think of the physical, real-world aspects of technology, but they’re definitely there and we should definitely pay attention to them, especially because that particular industry is predominantly male, cis and white. What makes AO3 and the OTW so remarkable in this case, is that it is predominantly women and it is definitely intersectional. 

While the idea of all of the fic authors being Hugo nominees was delightful, I’m REALLY HAPPY that this nomination is for the people who deal with the infrastructure. They are fandom heroes, and deserve praise and awards for what they do.

Here’s the nominees for “Best Related Work”: 

The other 5 are all “books about science fiction fandom,” loosely. (Okay, one is a documentary about a particular SF fandom.) And while nobody thinks The Hobbit Duology is a nomination for Tolkien himself, there’s also an understanding that if Tolkien weren’t wildly influential, with content worth talking about, it wouldn’t have been nominated. 

Look at that author list. Not the ones who are nominated - the ones they’re writing about.

AO3 fanworks - our A/B/O slash, our mpreg vids, our Homestuck tentabulge fanart, our 20,000 word meta rants - are being placed on a platform right next to the works of Tolkien, Campbell, Heinlein, Asimov, Hubbard, LeGuin, and the Hugos themselves, as the raw content that can inspire award-worthy analysis and exposition.

Only in this case, the “analysis and exposition” is the archive of works itself. There is no book explaining why these works are important. There is no description of the history and impact of these works. There is no collection of essays about the influence and scope of these works, nor comparisons of these works to other works, nor consideration of the nuances of meanings hidden under the surface.

The archive is not being nominated for its mere infrastructure and codebase. Nobody voted for the github account. AO3 is nominated because it houses a vast number of works, amazing diverse approaches, so much joy and so many shared feelings.

The nomination belongs to the design team and the board of directors, but there’s plenty of credit due to others: The tag wranglers who make all those connections so you can search for the nickname you know, and still find fic if it’s written with the character’s legal name. The abuse team that keeps the site from being overrun with spambots. The legal team who fought Congress several times for our right to make K/S vids. The donors who paid for the servers, and continue to pay for operating costs. And the content creators, who keep the archive active and growing, so that the amazing infrastructure has something to show off.

OTW is a by-fans-for-fans organization. AO3 is not an archive by “them” for “us.” It’s OUR archive, and if it’s up for an award, all of us who participate have a hand in why it’s there. 

Everyone who posts, comments, kudoses, or bookmarks at the archive has influenced how it’s shaped and what it will be in the future. This nomination is, in part, because of your actions.

When an author wins an award, there’s no extra trophy for the publisher, the editor, the cover artist, or the proofreader - but we know that they, too, played a part. If you’ve participated in AO3, you’re not “nominated,” but you brought some of the effort that made the nomination happen. 

That's just awesome!

As a library worker, there’s something I want to say to you.

You do not have to apologize for the books you choose to read.

At all.  To anyone.  You owe nobody any explanations; you need no excuse or “good reason” to be reading the book.

You do not have to be ashamed for wanting to read “bad” books.  You wanna read Twilight?  We got Twilight.  Need a banal, cookie-cutter-plot mystery or thriller?  Those are always fun.  Our regulars check them out by the towering stack.  Ask Betty for recommendations; she’s read them all.  50 Shades of Oh Fucking No?  We’ve got it, we even got it in large print.  Have fun.  Check out the rest of our porn too.  Oh, and the sex manuals are a MUST if you want to “experiment” yourself.  Don’t be afraid to ask; they’re here for a reason.

Want to read a book written by a huge asshole everyone hates and agree was a monster?  Yeah, we have those.  No, we don’t think you’re an asshole for wanting to know what was actually written in there, or judging things for yourself.

You are not too old for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Babysitter’s Club, or Captain Underpants.  You are not too young for Sherlock Holmes.  There’s nothing wrong with a boy reading The Princess Academy or Sweet Valley High.  There’s nothing wrong with a girl being into The Hardy Boys or Artemis Fowl instead.

You do not have to pull the shame face and offer me an excuse when you check out your books.  I don’t care if I got so angry at that book I threw it against a wall when I read it: you have the right to read it, and enjoy it if it’s enjoyable for you.  THAT’S WHY THE LIBRARY HAS IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.  If we only stocked pure, unproblematic literature everyone approved of, by authors of unquestionable virtue, we wouldn’t have any books at all.  Or music.  Or movies.  It would be utterly fucking boring.  And it certainly wouldn’t be a library.

“You busy tomorrow night?” Sam asked Eileen through his phone. 

“I don’t think so.” She grinned into the camera. “Why? Do you have big plans? Am I being invited to a once in a lifetime Winchester party?”

Sam chuckled. “No, no, nothing like that. I was gonna do some binge watching. Have you started on the new season of Game of Thrones yet?” He raised his brows. Eileen shook her head. “Good. Come on over. I’ll order pizza and have Dean grab a couple six packs.” He grinned as his heart gave a nervous little jump in his chest.

“I’ll see you then. If you’re lucky, maybe I’ll even make some brownies or cookies or something.” Eileen smiled and winked. “Bye, Sam.”

“Bye.” Sam’s dimples deepened and he waved, waiting for Eileen to hang up.

“Dude.” Dean laughed as he walked into the room. “You are so smitten.”

“Shut up.” Sam blushed, looking away from his brother. “You goin’ out later?” 

“Yeah, yeah, I heard. Any kind of beer good?” Dean sat at the table and kicked his feet up.

“She likes pilsners.” Sam informed Dean.

Dean smirked and shook his head. “Oh, she likes pi-iiilsners.” He teased, prompting Sam to toss his bottle cap in Dean’s direction. Dean laughed and watched Sam leave the room with a huff.
