that fic batmobile lost its wheels - the last chapter i wrote it was absolutely with the intention of turning it into this horror where bruce ends up finding pieces of wally scattered across gotham but i am no longer in the headspace and i just wanted to let you all know
when ppl talk to me or comment on my ficani come alive again
not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social
ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made
batmobile lost its wheels update
chapter four: food | entire work
if everything is poison, and the sun betrays you with its light, which way is forward? the problem with going mad is you're still your only point of reference.
you should write fanfiction, actually. for your health
If it makes you feel any better, he hated it too.
This is the funniest and saddest sentence I've read all week
lmao i just read the last chapter i posted on speed dating and its SO GOOD fuck do yall even know how often i write fanfic just so i can read it myself
new fic! because i started work today again after a long leave and i am sitting at the computer and all i can do is write fanfic
au where bruce and wally are dating and have no idea on both sides who the other is because that’s literally my favorite trope if you have read anything I’ve written at this point and also I’m in love with bruce thinking wally is doing coke but also in love with wally getting sullen and sad about bruce leaving in the middle of the night obviously to be with someone else and god forbid either of them communicate properly because who does that
flashes of darkness
chapter one: never trust people who put dogs on their dating profile
hello my beloveds. i have updated two chapters to a random batflash fanfic i wrote five years ago. i dont know if anyone is still here and reading fics lol but here it is
batmobile lost its wheels
chapter one: paranoia chapter two: lying chapter three: alone
i am watching batman caped crusader
Saw this advice on Twitter today, and I think it's going to end up being useful for me. 🥹 Thought I'd share it with y'all, too.
i’m going to say something that might make me seem ungrateful, but i think it’s true of many fic writers:
we want you to leave comments ON ao3.
we’re not angry or disappointed or anything like that when you leave qrts or lots of tags on our fic posts, not at all. we don’t NOT want you to message us to tell us how a fic touched you. but in addition to that, please consider just copying those words and posting them on ao3 as a comment.
why?
the reason is simple: leaving commentary in other places is ephemeral. story posts get pushed down. chats get pushed down in the list of chats, or worse, pushed up in lists of messages as the conversation continues. but comments on ao3 are easily accessible. and this is important because writers read and reread these comments regularly.
writing, especially writing longfics, is exhausting and drains your confidence over time. having a collection of people who enjoyed your past work at your fingertips is an excellent way to build yourself up when you’re feeling down. fic writers need this a lot.
i know over the past few years there’s this trend to be very descriptive with what is an “acceptable” comment. that’s all nonsense, as long as you’re not being an asshole, just say what’s on your heart.
but post it on ao3. please.
Also something I see a lot: people gushing to their friends in discord about a fic but not commenting on it to the author themselves. It's reassuring to find out secondhand that people gushed about your creation, but it's so much better when someone tells you directly! Reaching out directly on AO3 also helps to curb any lingering doubt of like... Is this something they'd only admit to in private but don't want their name connected to mine on AO3? Since there's a lot of weirdness around who someone associates with in fandom these days
I will say also that some of my FAVORITE comments I have EVER gotten were copy-and-paste Discord conversations, like that is PURE! JOY!!! If you ever find yourself gushing about a fic in a server and everyone else in the conversation is cool with it, PLEASE copy and past that into an AO3 comment, you will make an author's YEAR.
yes resurrect this! Some of my favourite feedback in ye olde days was when people would send me the AIM transcripts of them talking about whatever fic I'd written <33
SPEED DATING is the thing i am most proud of in my life
Y’all, I just got an email alert about a new chapter on a story I follow. Here’s the author’s note for that chapter. 😂
This is the most validating post.
i really have to say this last week has been one of the hardest of my lives and i woke up every day crying until i took enough benzos to knock out and this morning i woke up to a comment from speed dating in ao3 and i remembered that feeling of belonging/value/community
so thank you
Everyone should read their own fanfics recreationally tbh this shit fucking rules. It's like the author knows exactly what I like.
