You say "learn," I say "find hope for the future of humanity during fandom idiocy." It's nice to know that there is no new wank under the sun.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of Nanoochka's "Ancillary Stroke" saved that I could beg a read of?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey--did she ever finish her Marty Sue D/C fic?

I don't think so. At least the last thing I read didn't seem like a conclusion. But I haven't been following that one with bated breath like scaramouche's It's Always the End of the World Somewhere timestamps.

I have a completely unsupported suspicion that the feedback she got on that one was pushing in a direction different from where she'd intended to go, and that people weren't responding as positively to the character as she wanted them to.
That was one of the few times I actually read a fic's comments, because something didn't feel aligned.
So, in my head, she punked out. At this point, I have nothing invested in her characters, I just interested in a meta way how she's going to make it work out.
However, scaramouche...just...man, I love those kids.

I've been dealing with insurance shit. I really needed the laugh. One of the funniest bits of fan fiction - well, ever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, I didn't realize that AO3's recent overload problem was mostly due to ff.net drama. AO3 currently has 17,000 people in the invitation queue.
