@mumble--bee

This is why fanfic trumps regular published 'dirty' novels. It's just never good enough to hit the spot.

Also how dare you ask someone else to marry you :P

I've been working on a thing for @mumble--bee for a while. It isn't perfect but I'm walking away!

This is your semi frequent reminder that there is no official AO3 app

All those are unofficial and available on the Google play store as of August 13th 2025. They mirror AO3's content and insert ads, for which the developer gets paid by page impression (that's every time the ad appears in the fic you're reading) not just clicks.

No money goes to AO3, nor to the fic writer. It goes to the person who did the bare minimum.

Many of these apps have poorly worded or non existent privacy policies, so they may also be mining as much data as possible and selling that on to unknown third parties.

Please, just use the official AO3 site and the browser.

Its ironic that wattpad has an app and a website. How come AO3 doesnt have an official app?

the-pen-pot

There is no official AO3 app because it would take a huge amount of resources to develop one, and there would be issues with AO3 needing to collect much more data from users (which they don't want to do)

In addition, it opens AO3 up to censorship from the playstore and the app store.

✨️ CLAIMING: DAY 1

So far: 8 fics have been claimed for art and 5 fics for beta.

Thus there are still:

18 fics left to make art for

6 fics in need of a beta reader (and 7 more open to it)

Want to know which fics are left? HERE

Want to claim a fic? HERE

And remember: by 'art', we mean anything that is not (just) writing. That's right, you can do punch needle art for a Jayvik fic.

This feels like an updated version of the "two cakes" post.

I meant to make this meme ages ago when pride month was still on but yeah gé (pronounced gay) is the Irish for a goose.

My neighbors have the last name Begay and their internet is 'Begay's' and you have no idea how tempted I was to make our internet 'Do Crimes'

Non-spoiler thoughts about Thunderbolts*... if they had given Natasha Romanoff as much depth as Yelena, instead of just making her the token female, the Avengers would have been wildly different.

Yelena has come into my house, stole my heart, and become one of my favorite characters. All without fear that she's just there for romantic storylines.

I think it would be so funny if there was a show about King Arthur and the knight of the Round Table where a different knight(s) joins the Round Table every episode and it gets to the point where the cast is like 500 people and absolutely no one is acknowledging that there are like 400 people in this court. Like a gratuitous amount of knights. The plot randomly pivots to knight or knights of the week and then back but it’s not an anthology exactly. Some of them die the same day they join, some randomly disappear from the story and others are technically there for the rest of the series but doing fuckall. Occasionally Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and everyone will shrug. Very important quest surrounding the major knights you’re expecting and a minor knight no one has seen for 5 seasons randomly joins in. You need a knightly spreadsheet to join in.

Arthur meets Saturday Night Live.

It becomes very very evident when an author has never interacted with small children before. PLEASE stop writing 4 year olds with baby voices, I promise you they do not answer in short sentences the way a baby might. They can and Will start monologing

#i have read supervillain speeches less verbose than some 4 y.o. who just learned 60 turtle fun facts#please understand#1 y.o. = single words#2 y.o. = phrases/frustration with being misunderstood#3 y.o. = you will understand if this child has to suffocate you by using all oxygen in the room to explain#4 y.o. = probably not necessary to use all O2 for you to 100% understand their point. but they saw a bug and the world must know.#5 to 10 y.o. = keep that 4 y.o. enthusiasm. then add sass. vocab. and begin the sarcasm skill tree.

This has obviously been replied to numerous times but I have things to add:

I was a nanny for over a decade. Every child is different and will develop differently based on parenting. *Write kids based on how their parents treat them!*

My nephew is 18 months old. He talks like no kid I've ever known. Full comprehension of what hes saying, even if not perfect sentences. He spent the first year of his life in my mother's house, where her experience as a mom and grandma helped him learn. Everything is situational with kids. I've also seen 3 and 4yo kids that still say words like "milky" because their parents treat them like spoiled babies.
