OKAY TUMBLR. IT’S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

batmansymbol:

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

GIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

The “g” in .gif is for “graphic” – hard G. Jif is a peanut butter brand; when peanut butter can be delivered electronically, maybe then there will be a .jif.

[SPEND MONTHS LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC TYPE OF FIC (Fanfic Flamingo) BOOKMARK IT. THEY DELETE IT A WEEK LATER]

WHYYYY? I finally found a fic that fit my kink perfectly, the only one I’ve managed to find in the fandom so far, and then a week after I found it the author deleted it from AO3. I, of course, can remember neither the fic or author’s name. Just that it was a fill for the kink meme 😦

One of the four people who wrote amazing Tony/Rhodey deleted ALL HER FANFIC (in an effort to pursue a profic career, I believe).

I download almost everything I read off AO3 now, and I’m very glad, but I need to come up with better organization. Sigh.

^^^THIS. Back around when I first started reading online fiction (like, 10+ years ago) I had this exact kind of thing happen over and over. Many times it was because an entire site had been taken down, so I’d lose potentially dozens of fics in one go. Now I save everything I enjoy reading – usually before ever I close the browser window – including wip’s.

My various fic folders give me lots of happies just looking at how big they get. ^w^ (I also keep those backed up in the event of a catastrophic computer crash or something of the sort. >_>)
