Re: Fandom Venting

From: (Anonymous)
I want to murder people that put things on AO3 that don't belong there. Ship manifestos, fandom analysis, "why you should like my problematic fave" shitposts, etc. I even hate chatfic tbh (I guess it probably does belong on there but I don't care, I hate it). This isn't just limited to hockey fandom, I see it in other places I dabble into and it's the most annoying thing.

DA. Couldn't agree more!

NA I actually rather enjoy ship manifestos, as they seem to be harder to come by and there's no real centralized place to find them these days. But I sympathize with people who come to ao3 only for the fic. It'd be nice if they're were a separate fandom meta category, but if it'll be full of stuff like what was just linked, I don't know that I'd even spend much time in it.

If it's a fic, a vid, or art: put it on/link it to AO3

If it's not, but it's a prompt challenge: that's what Collections are for, go use that

If it's not any of those things: NO

The AO3 rules actually permit meta so even though you don't like it, it's not technically doing anything wrong

DA, from somewhere up the line

Shows you the last time I posted anything at AO3, then (it was before 2013). I'm happy to stand corrected.

However--in hockey RPF, it's hard to tell "fandom meta" from your typical sports journalism "hot take."
