on Fringe yet again

I either picked an absolutely terrible or a totally awesome time to catch up with this show...whichever it is, watching it in real time is stressful, yo!

( spoilers for Fringe 4x19 )

on OTW!

So I've been volunteering as a tag wrangler on the AO3 for the last three years now, and I gotta say, maybe AO3 isn't perfect yet - it's a WiP, with all the ups and downs that entails - what we've got so far is pretty dang awesome. (Especially if you're about to go on a trip and really want to find a bunch of nice long novel-length fic to stick on your Kindle - go to your fandom or fave pairing, sort by wordcount, download the mobi file direct to your Kindle and BAM, done!)

If you enjoy AO3 as much as me - or having legal advocacy for fans, or checking the history of fannish vocab on Fanlore, or anything else the OTW gets up to - we're having a donation drive now, so if you've got cash to spare at the moment and you'd like to be a voting member, or if you'd just like to make sure we'll all be able to download fic for many years to come - consider chipping in.

Whether or not you donate, if you spend any time on any OTW site, you can take the OTW survey to let us know what you think of how we're doing:

Also, if you do spend time on AO3 and are interested in our crazy tags, I'm hosting our tag wrangling Open House tomorrow in a public chatroom - everybody's welcome to stop in, all questions welcome, whether you want find out more about becoming a wrangler or ask just why the heck X was wrangled with Y when it should be part of Z!
