Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, even if her name's still on it, she doesn't have anything to do with it.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

Doesn't matter if she isn't involved in the running, she maintained ownership, sure the active mods could set up a new version elsewhere, but yuletide is still astolat's.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

Why do you think that?

Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

Because when she handed over the regular duties to new mods, they said at the time that she maintained ownership and that there were some things they couldn't do, it was widely discussed at the time, because of some changes that were proposed that year. Some people thought the new mods got a shit deal as they had to do the work and deal with all the complaints but didn't have overall control.

Did anyone think astolat was going to hand over yuletide entirely? Did anyone really and truly think that?

Re: if everyone leave ao3

That was a literal decade ago dude

Re: if everyone leave ao3

This is fandom dude we hold grudges for literal decades. So?

Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

what has holding grudges got to do with this?

Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

And nothing's changed since, so unless or until ownership change does happen, yuletide's still astolat's and presumably won't be leaving AO3, she's had a decade of watching other people do the work, but hasn't signed yuletide over to them, so i doubt she will now.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

She did sign it over to them. Her name on the collection is a courtesy AFAIK, in case something like the 2016 assignment purge happens again.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

The only public comments about the handover were very clear about the fact that she was maintaining ownership, that there were limits on the powers of the new mods, and things they couldn't change, there's never been anything said to contradict that unless you have links to back up your assertion that she hasn't kept ownership.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I do. The mods have frequently stated changeovers in the mod team in the years since astolat left. Astolat is not mentioned.

Also, she has posted evidence for fandoms she wanted to include and had them rejected. That doesn't look like ownership to me.

Re: if everyone leave ao3

[(Anonymous)]

Yes new mods have been added, and she had a ineligible fandom rejected, both things were standard and say nothing about her giving up ownership. I'm sure if she had done that people would have talked about it somewhere, the yuletide comms, discord, ffa or here, but that's never happened, unless you've got links that say otherwise?
