I Love AO3 and OTW
To the lovely, lovely OTW volunteers: ROCK ON WITH YOUR BAD SELVES. You give your time, brainpower, energy, and LOVE, and you're making amazing things that thousands and thousands of people use every single day.
I'm not what you'd call a power user of AO3, but holy shit, am I glad it exists. Longfic addict that I am, you don't know how happy it makes me to go to the fandom of my choice and be able to sort all of the fic for it by size. Oh, the glee!!! Amidst all of the noise you're hearing, please don't forget that you are providing the glee. Love ya!!!!

Dear everyone involved with the Archive of Our Own,
Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who's ever written a line of code, fixed a bug, wrangled a tag, answered a support ticket.
Thank you to the back-end coders and thank you to the front-end coders.
Thank you to everyone who's ever brainstormed about what the archive might do, and thank you to everyone who's poured their hearts, souls, and spare time into trying to make the archive do all of those things and more.
I use the AO3 every day. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for building it for me and for everyone who uses it -- and for everyone who doesn't use it yet but might use it someday.
This archive isn't something to which fandom is entitled. It's a labor of love. You make the archive as your gift to fandom, and I appreciate that gift so, so much.
Even though it isn't finished yet. Even though it isn't perfect yet. It's still awesome, and your hard work is tremendous and admirable, and I just want to say thanks.
(Dear everyone else: if anything in this post resonates with you, feel free to signal-boost or repost.)
