must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???
idk, what is wrong with me? i’m in a healthy and stable relationship with a great partner, i’ve had lots of therapy that has helped me establish strong boundaries and recognize red flags, and i have an active social life and fulfilling career. could it be that i just… like to read books and watch movies and tv shows about dysfunctional people??? you tell me, tumblr user girlcreator!
You’re a bourgeois degenerate who wants to see shitty despicable & violent relationships for your disgusting sense of entertainment— and you should feel fucking ashamed of yourself.
I agree with @girlcreator but I definitely know there’s something wrong with you. People like you are a huge red flag to me. Bad vibes, for sure.

Hi! Here's a big masterpost for everything you need to know about this project!
The No More Zero Comments (NM0C) Project is dedicated to reducing the number of fics on AO3 with no comments. This is a multifandom community effort with very few rules which you can very easily undertake alone, but hey, why not join us?
The goal is simple: find fics with no comments, read them and leave the author a comment. If you want, you can go out and find fics on your own, but we also have a handy spreadsheet full of fics for you to browse!
You can find the spreadsheet here. There are tonnes of different fandoms to choose from. It will be updated regularly with new fics, so check back as often as you like.
Do you have a fic with zero comments? You can submit it here to be added to the spreadsheet. There is no limit to how many you can submit, and no limits on what you can submit. Any fandom, any category, any rating, no matter how old it is. Yes, even explicit fics. We aren't picky around here. You can also submit other people's fics if you wish.
All I ask is, if you submit your own fics, try and comment on some too! Balance, equality, etc.
The only real rule for submissions is no AI. This blog is vehemently anti-AI and will not accept any fics that use it. EDIT 16/06/25: There are now two more rules - no Harry Potter fics (fuck jkr) and no fics less than a week old.
If you comment on a fic from the spreadsheet, please let me know here so I can remove the fic from the spreadsheet. If you see a fic on the spreadsheet that has a comment, don't fret. I'll get around to removing it soon. Admin's timezone is GMT and I'm most active in the evenings.
Have a question? Feel free to ask!
A few more bits and pieces of information under the cut!
Who runs this blog?
That'd be me, Izak, better known as @lightningzombie! I run this blog alone for now. And yes, I did put my own fics into the spreadsheet. I put it up to a vote and people said I could!
Why did you decide to do this?
Frustration with the lack of comments on my fics and the death of comment culture in general. Bewilderment when I saw a fic that had 1200 kudos and no comments. The joy that leaving 100 comments and receiving 20+ during the Febuwhump commentfest brought me. Boredom. Many reasons!
Is there a prize/competition?
Nope! No incentives whatsoever. Just the joy of fan fiction, of commenting, and community spirit.
Will you do events?
Yes, I plan to! I'm not sure what yet, though.
"I don't know how to comment!"
Yes, you do. "I like this" is a comment. "How dare you do that to [insert blorbo here]" is a comment. "<3" is a comment. "KAJSDAKSDHJ WHYYYYY????" is a comment. "I am rapidly approaching your location" is a comment. Just be kind!
How long will it take me to get a comment?
Dunno. Some people get them within minutes, some hours, some days. Depends on many things. Be patient!
I submitted something but it hasn't been added or removed
I run this blog and the spreadsheet completely alone and manually. Any submissions will be handled as and when i have time. Be patient with me, I'll get to it!
being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?
yes, I can. it's causing insane pollution in Memphis that's causing harm to the citizens just so people on Twitter can say "@/grok is this true" instead of doing the research themselves.
Billionaire Elon Musk's development of a supercomputer in Memphis is another environmental blow to a marginalized Black community.
it's also using massive amounts of energy and water, a resource that is already becoming harder for people to get safely.
MIT News explores the environmental and sustainability implications of generative AI technologies and applications.
cognitive offloading is what it's called when people use AI instead of doing the research themselves or writing the paper or literally anything that people use chatgpt for
Heavy AI tool usage is associated with weaker critical thinking, a study finds, as users increasingly offload cognitive tasks instead of eng
i don't need to be more clear than that to someone already hostile to anti-AI sentiment. make good on your post and leave tumblr if it bothers you so much :)
"If you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering, and ecological destruction, remember that a trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn't work on you"
I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is
