Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.
It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”
For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:
[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]
The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”

“I’ve lied.” The admission came from her lips with a lightning speed. “I’ve lied the whole time. I don’t think I’ve said one honest thing to you since we met. You can’t trust me—you need to leave me here.”
Add words to your WIP and earn prizes at the same time!!! This session will be hosted by @heavenssexiestangel!
What time will it be for you?
UTC - Tuesday 16:00
Los Angeles - Tuesday 9am
New York - Tuesday noon
London - Tuesday 5pm

How will it work?
The exact number of sprints and length of each sprint will be decided by the host and participants. Be prepared to work on a WIP of your own, but the host has the option of offering a prompt.
At the end of the sprints, whoever wrote the most words in one sprint will get a prize. Whoever wrote the most words in all of the sprints together will also get a prize. More prizes may be given out on the day depending on how things go. If the host brings prompts, there may be opportunities to win more prizes for most creative, funniest, etc. Be prepared to be asked to share your work! You don’t have to if you don’t want to! (Prizes will be chosen from the Pond Prize Pool.)
Where will this happen?

I have more questions. How do I get them answered?

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
One hour until @heavenssexiestangel starts the sprints! Get your stretches in now!
i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an “internet etiquette” for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom
Don’t Like, Don’t Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That’s OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship
📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣
NO ONE LIVING hasn’t been squicked out by something. There’s over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren’t universal. So I move on. Don’t like the ship? Move on. Don’t like____? Move on.
I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don’t like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.
