No mythical or alien animals allowed.

Re: Who are your favorite fictional animals?

I don't understand the parameters of the question.

Re: Who are your favorite fictional animals?

You mean fictional characters but are species that actually exist? So no dragons? because most of mine are dragons. :)

Salem from Sabrina. Hedwig from Potter. Dug from Up.

I don't know if they count as an animal - but I still have a huge soft spot for the Mokonas from xxxHolic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (also Magic Knight Rayearth - but since Mokona in that story is a god then maybe they don't count there lol).

Snoopy and any earth ponies from MLP.
I love cats but can't think of any fictional kitties I'm a big fan of off the top of my head but I do feel sorry for Sylvester. Tweety's obnoxious.

Bill the Pony- a classic. Trust worthy, dependable, loveable, horse adjacent for my bb horse girl self in middleschool.

Redwing - another goodnest boy. This time with wings

Doug - the platonic ideal of a golden retriever. Adhd icon.

Duo - he can't keep me on track with my language learning but I love him. He tries.

Grebo- the worst cat is the best cat.

I love Disney dogs. Especially Pongo, the Tramp, and Copper.

I was a poor horse girl for a hot minute. I loved horses but could only afford to read about them. King of the Wind and The Black Stallion were my favorites.

And of course, every animal is the Lion King is lovely. Except Zazu. Go away Zazu.

I mean honestly the cats from anything.

Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

This is a bit of a random waffle, but coming across reading a recent AO3 drama going on recently on the updates announcements has got me thinking...

Does anyone else think that there should be more fanfiction websites? I'm not saying this as anti AO3 or anything (I'm still on that site rn with tabs open as I write this lol) - but I've been online long enough to see sites go down or lawsuits/rule changes/etc happen. Even though AO3 is THE best one so far - I guess some part of me worries that if it ever went down for good or something happened to wipe away most of the site then that would be it.

I guess its also why I've been looking into alternatives (saw someone mention in a fanfic tiktok comp that Quotev is one of the sites - which didn't seem bad from what I have seen). I know that I use to go on ffnet whenever AO3 was down, but that site seems to be in danger of being lost with all the fics on there pre-AO3 at any moment. IDK maybe I'm worrying over nothing here, but I guess I like the idea of something being saved in more than one location. Still love AO3 tho.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

i support ao3 with my whole chest (and my wallet), but i definitely agree we should have more fanfic sites in case something does happen to the site.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

I want there to be alternate sites. I want there to be dozens, hundreds even, of specialized little archives. I want giant sites that scoop up teen attention. I want sites specimade for reader x character fiction.

But ultimately I know anything done for profit will throw us under the bus for advertisers and I don't trust them.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, probably. But it's hard to build a new site that duplicates existing parts of AO3, becauwe internet communities don't take well to being split across multiple platforms. There's too much network effects. So as long as AO3 is available as an all-in fic platform, it's hard to set something else up and actually get people to use it. Not impossible but hard.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I love AO3, but more sites makes for a more resilient system.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

I dunno if the number itself should be debated, but I wouldn't mind specialized fic sites again in addition to the larger archives. But if it's the larger archives you're talking about... I think that if one went down, folks would just migrate to another one. Of course, even with multiple sites, nothing guarantees that some fic won't be lost.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be interested in knowing what the alternatives are, and also interested in what people think the different places sort of do well or poorly and whether there's features they like better than the AO3 or miss when they're not on that platform. I mean, assuming we already have people using more than one archive, which seems likely.

Also, I don't think it's any sleight to the AO3, necessarily, to put your stuff somewhere else also. One of its primary purposes was to help people keep their stuff from being lost forever, and you accomplish that better by having your fiction mirrored in more than one place.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, absolutely.

I love AO3, but I would like curated shrines of The Best Fanfic (subjective) for a charscter or series with heavy mod oversight to exist alongside Fun! Friendly! Squeeing! sites for people starting out or who just want to gush. I'd like sites where people will comment so you comment and sites where people will comment specifically to help people improve.

There are so many ways it could go, and communities that could exist, if we let AO3 be an /Archive/ instead of a hub.

Re: Should there be more Fanfic sites?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and hopefully with better fancultures surrounding them. AO3's culture has always been toxic, it has always been very them vs us and clicky, AO3's stans are absolutely hateful if they think you are not praising them enough. So, yeah, for the love of god, give us something else instead.

Did like Milo from The Mask when it came out, because I had a Jack Russell dog too at the time.
