Formerly ouat-in-spare-oom-of-rivendell @ariwritessometimes - Tumblr Blog

Hey everyone! Quick but important announcement:

In an effort to further consolidate my work, I am going to be importing the OC versions of my work to my main Ao3 account. In order to avoid doubling up on works that have both an OC and a Reader version, I am moving ALL Reader-Insert works to a secondary archive account, found HERE

My main account has not changed but if you are currently subscribed to my entire account for the purposes of following any one specific reader-insert series, you will need to subscribe to that individual series or the archive account, ArisReaderInserts. Both accounts will remain linked in my bio for your convenience!

Nothing is being abandoned. Reader-insert works will now exclusively be found on ArisReaderInserts, but any currently incomplete series will still be finished eventually, I promise! They will just now be found under a different account, and the OC versions will be gradually uploaded to replace them on the main account, AriWritesSometimes.

If you have any questions for clarification or would like to request links to specific stories, please don't hesitate to send me an ask! Anon is always on.

A Peculiar Fellowship

Reader Version

OC Version

In the wake of the Wolves of Isengard, memories of the past resurface.

Anyways,

So. Yes. Hello.

That's right, I've done it. I've finally broken the writer's block on this series and written a new chapter. Almost four years later, but I DID IT! Now everybody hold your breath and form a prayer circle so it doesn't take another four years.

Jokes aside, I truly hope you enjoy.

Note: In the OC version, I combined some of those super short chapters to consolidate and streamline things, so while the numbers are different between the two, these are the same chapter.

Well, uh. The UI debacle doesn't affect this blog per se, so I'll probably stick with it for just posting links to my writing but. Man. I genuinely think this could be what kills the site.

I'll still be on Ao3 regardless.

Although the last time he properly saw her was when they were ten years old, she looks somehow so much smaller. She’s pale and relatively still, sunk back into the pillow, but it’s leaps and bounds from the condition she was in earlier.

I've been a fanfic writer on AO3 for two years, have 50+ stories and over 350k in words, lots of fun reader engagement and stay active on Tumblr to promote my stories and fan creations.

Last night I got an angry message on my Tumblr from a user asking why I was flaming their story on AO3.

I never leave negative comments (and I've left over 500 positive ones!). I looked into it, and the hatebots on AO3 used my username with (Guest) at the end to send one of the most vile messages I've ever read to a user in a completely different fandom from me.

I straightened it out with that user and explained about the hatebots. But their initial message to me was angry, they'd found me off AO3 on Tumblr and called out personal details from my page because they thought I was bullying them.

I still can't really fathom why these hatebots do what they do, but I'm also a little scared that a misunderstanding like that could lead to someone getting doxxed. And I'm also extremely sad that this bot is posing as me and threatening other users. I encouraged the one reaching out to me to report and block and made a note on my page explaining that (Guest) comments are not from me in case anyone else had that experience.

I still love AO3 for the ability to write and share and connect over our stories and fandoms, but this is really discouraging and scary, in addition to the almost daily art bot scams I get on AO3 too.

And my heart breaks for the user who thought even for a moment that a complete stranger would say such awful things to them using my name.

And it's devastating to think of so many writers waiting for feedback on a story they worked so hard on who are getting hateful comments like these. Or to think someone could internalize those hateful comments without knowing it's a bot.

My heart breaks especially for newer writers on AO3, it's definitely a different landscape from when I joined two years ago.

As a kid who grew up watching Terminator - I'm not sure I envisioned the robot wars looking quite like this!!

Here's the form to report abuse if you have a comment from a bot: https://archiveofourown.org/abuse_reports/new

Here's a link with additional information on the different types of bots on AO3: AO3 Comment Bots - Fanlore https://share.google/m9IhE4NEGMNgHjtWq

Here's a way to fight the bots by leaving positive comments, join the AO3 comment fest bingo: https://ao3org-tumblr-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ao3org.tumblr.com/post/808198255312781312/welcome-to-feedback-fest-2026/

And anyone who sees my name or any of my pseuds with (Guest) please know it didn't come from me, and don't let a random hate bot discourage you from continuing to write!
