Talk:Cassatt
17 August 2023 - I've tried twice to add summary of the final edit I did to this page through 'undo' and then fixed, then saved after adding summary. Didn't work each time. So - I fixed the References to show the text of where the Referenced quotes came from - Cassatt's AO3 page. /Cassatt
Bibliography entries
I'm not super thrilled that the Bibliography section is being added to. Two reasons: 1) I would prefer my works only refer to what I've uploaded to AO3, and what I've subsequently written new or re-written from older versions, and 2) All of my Janeway/Chakotay stories are meant to be off the internet. [I realize that the Wayback Machine might have old versions of things and I cannot do anything (easily) about that. The process to remove collected pages from Wayback is long and involved.] Of course as this is a Wiki, there are some things that will be linked through from other wiki pages that I have no control over, and that's fine. But -- am I to list all of my works, here? I've got 53(?) completed stories on AO3, and at least 20-30 J/C stories supposedly gone but which I have self-archived copies of (so I have titles and pub dates). That seems a lot to list - why do I need to be redundant to what is on AO3? And, if I am supposed to redundantly list all of my bibliography / works I've ever written, am I to then link the titles to their content?? If the nice person doing these edit updates to my page could respond, that would be great. /Cassatt
- Hi, I'm the person creating the bibliography of your work. While Fanlore doesn't have this in an easily accessible place, as far as my understanding goes (I am not staff, so you may want to ask a staff member), Fanlore de-facto follows similar guidelines and principles to TV Tropes' The Fic May Be Yours, But The Work Page Is Ours policy. Essentially, while you hold ownership over your works, the documentation and analysis of your work and its reception/impact/etc. on Fanlore belongs to Fanlore. You are welcome and encouraged to contribute to articles about yourself and your work on Fanlore, but be aware that you do not hold the final say over such articles.
- Though I am documenting your works in the bibliography section, neither myself nor anyone else is expecting you personally to add fics or add links to the fics. You are free to add your works or link them if you wish to do so. Do note that other editors may add links to archived versions of your deleted fics. As for redundancy, I am just working off of your AO3 listings and Wayback Machine; if you've re-released works under different titles on AO3, feel free to drop a line.
- (As a side note, please use four tildes (~~~~) to sign your posts; it automatically adds your username and adds a timestamp, making conversations easier to keep track of.) Pinky G Rocket (talk) 03:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Citations needed
Hello whomever :-) I've finished the bibliography, since I thought it would be easier if I loaded the info from my own records / website backups / ao3. It is complete, and thorough, with accurate publication dates for original stories and their revised versions, etc.
There are two things that need citations, and it appears that the editing cheatsheet re: citations is not accurate (?) so I'm leery of trying to cite these. But here are the sources:
1) First section: the statements re: the L&O pairing being too weird to cope (;-)) came from my own personal email correspondences, since that used to be the way we got feedback. And, I did get it. I thought it would be vaguely interesting to people in the future who wander to my page to know that pairings created between characters of significant age differences, and a racial differences, was met with enough skepticism that readers felt totally fine and justified saying that to the author of the works. At the time that it happened. So: my own personal email correspondences. Me.
2) Co-Writers: The quoted summary from the original Tying The Threads published landing page. (now at Internet Archive). Here is the link:
