Treasure Planet is one of my favourite animated movies of all time. Rewatched it with the bf recently!! Excellent found family with heartwarming scenes and was progressive for its time. Didn't shy from darker themes and had male characters visibly crying and it not being ridiculed, instead it being shown as organic and human. Highly recommend viewing (or rewatching)!

I get more reach here than masto so... opinions on posting OC only fics on ao3? I actually didn't know you could until recently. Was thinking to myself "what's the point" if I'm the only person that anyone knows who my ocs are...but I also don't wanna horde them forever

I do it a lot! It's pretty much the only way to introduce people to your OCs, and readers will click if they like the tropes, genre, tags, etc. It's far better than letting the stories rot on your hard drive forever, imo. And you'll get much better reach on AO3 than someplace like Wattpad, which has an algorithm meant to perpetuate the most popular stuff. It's hell finding anything on there lol. Bless AO3

Wait, did they change AO3 policy? Last time I checked (admittedly several years ago) they didn't permit original fiction.

Checked their TOS FAQ just now and they heavily discourage it, but seems like you can do it. Quote from FAQ: "We presume that, by posting the work to the Archive, the creator is making a statement that they believe it's a fanwork. As such, unless the work doesn't meet some other criterion, it will be allowed to remain."

@kel I hadn't checked, I've only seen people tag it as such. Damn that sucks, I mean people get around it regardless but I guess they didn't want it to become like wp...? no idea

the TOS is basically "if it's fannish, it's allowed" and their definition of fannish is very lenient. the Original Works section wouldn't exist and have over 177k works if they truly discouraged it. They're more likely to ask you to remove a ko-fi link in your fics than an OW. So no worries, you're not skirting the rules or anything by posting OW there

I'm really digging finding some new (/old) fansites. Any and all. Characters, media etc... they're hard to find even when looking for them...
