To the tune of "Nuts from the Hazel Tree" by Echo's Children
When I was young I used to look for fanfic on the net
Geocities, long disclaimers, terms that I forget
Browsing with a mighty greed
Now we can fulfil our need
n00b and BNF both read

Websites, they take away
Fic in fandoms small and random.
Now our gay fanfic stays!

I used to post on FF.N, but then they banned my fic.
LJ had the Strikethru and cut writers to the quick.
We’re no longer here alone
With the Archive of Our Own
We can write how werewolves bone

Advertizers pay good cash for websites with good hits.
Free sites sell your information, every single bit.
For the servers we must pay.
If you can, donate today!
Let nobody take away

I come to feast my eyes upon the wealth of written word
Now and then a vid is viewed, or podfics can be heard
Everybody now can give
Work that is transformative
Where in peace our slash can live –
