If this review of Civil War would not be welcome at AO3, there is something very wrong with its policies.
(Oh, but that's titled "review" and not "response.") (WTF is a review if not a response?)
...It is very much time for that "non-ephemeral" term to get a serious overhaul and definition.
I suspect part of the reason for this, is the rise of non-fanworks on AO3. There are endless numbers of young fans who post fic-finder requests and RP-partner searches, tag them extensively for their fandom, characters, and tropes, and either delete or orphan the work when they find what they're looking for. So the abuse team is getting hammered with "Not Actually A Fanwork" complaints, and they may not be putting any thought toward consistency for the edge cases.
TLDR Details
The March Meta Matters Challenge is focused on not just new meta, but making sure older meta gets a chance to be read and remain a part of fandom history. Join us in March to start archiving your work!
