For the fic writers:
Aug. 18th, 2012 09:18 pmIs there any consensus from AO3 over whether or not meta is allowed on the archive? I thought they'd retracted their previous statement, but I searched the FAQs, the ToS, and the ToS FAQs and still haven't found out.
(I am reminded of the profile page of dw_docs, which references the documentation monstrosity of Arthur Dent's universe: http://dw-docs.dreamwidth.org/profile)
ETA: OK, it's not that bad. But I mean, your ToS defines acceptable work as fanwork. So much that some original fic is allowed! If you took down meta, then why isn't there a clear saying in the ToS regarding that exception?
