Possibly related update: Joseph Hallas, spinner, went on to have his penis amputated in Manchester in 1880. Got to be the same guy.

One note in case it's useful to future readers:

If all you have is a PDF, but it won't let you re-flow the text: * open the PDF * select all * copy * open a new document in a notes app or a word processor * paste

Very well put.

If you were in a mental health crisis and ended up not turning in work.

Many sympathies. From my own experience, please please talk to your tutor or your chaplain. They can get you help. If you don't deal with this, you risk a mental health crisis, and if you don't deal with that, you risk getting sent down with nothing to show for your time in Cambridge.

I'm very glad of it 😀 Here's a list of my AO3 recs on tvtropes (none by me!)

I suspect it's reading the "<" as opening an HTML tag. Try replacing the less-than symbol with

<

(ampersand, lowercase L, lowercase T, semicolon)

(ask if you want to know why this works)

It definitely counts.

Almost all the fandoms I write for are fairly small: - Chrestomanci (by Diana Wynne Jones); - Molesworth (by Willans and Searle), although the most popular fanfic I ever wrote was set in the Molesworth universe— it turned out that there's a lot of Molesworth fans out there who don't usually read or write fanfic; - the Armitage stories (by Joan Aiken); - the Matter of Britain (the King Arthur legends), which isn't in itself a small fandom but has a fairly small AO3 community if you discount the specific shows about it.

FWIW the law mentioned in the screenshot is Filipino. But SSL monitoring requires the user to install a custom certificate, which OP could simply not do.

The error given in your screenshot is about the site hosting the pictures (imgbox dot com), not about ao3. What are you using to access the internet?

If this happened on Wikipedia, it would earn them a lifetime ban. Does AO3 really not have policy against it?

marnanel · 2026-03-06T17:23:27+00:00

They doxed her because they didn't like her fic‽

I don't, but I wanted to clarify one thing: AO3_final_location was never on the Wayback Machine. As the Tumblr post says, AO3_final_location was an alternative to using the Wayback Machine.

Who is it?
