Fic Links/Sources
Hey @spacelily-notgonnashutup. You've actually got a good question, so I hope you don't mind a post as a reply.
Right above the tags you should see the source for the screenshot.
It's actually a link to the fic the post came from, so it should take you right to it. If it doesn't work lmk. Thanks for the reply c:
…you’re…welcome?
AO3 appreciation post!! reblog if you love archive of our own
reblog to claim your “never finishing my multi-chapter fics” award 🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
this is gonna come off super rude but I promise I'm genuinely curious and not trying to be rude at all...do people know how to use the filter function on ao3? I just feel like I'm constantly seeing people ask for recs and I wonder if it's because they honestly don't know how to use the filter function or because they want people they care about to share recommendations with them...
I'm glad people replied to this because they brought up some good points about making connections and seeing where authors get inspiration from! I just also really want to encourage everyone to still use the filtering system because I've heard SO many authors say how discouraging it is to see the same fics recommended over and over. Sort by new instead of hits/kudos! Dig through the trenches of new fics! EVERY outstanding fic had to be found by someone and every fic writer needs motivation to become better. You guys are really doing each other a disservice by not searching every once in a while <3

write bad fanfic. write mediocre fanfic. write fanfic that a thousand people before you have already written. write niche fanfic. write fanfic that only a few people will read or understand. write fanfic just for you. write fanfic just for a friend. write ocs. write self-inserts. the fact that you’re taking the time and energy to put your ideas into the world is amazing and people who shame you for it need to find better ways to spend their time.
Maybe this is just me being old, but I genuinely think that, in general, a well-written dialogue scene between two interesting characters is about ten thousand times more entertaining than an action scene.
Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.
we writers can always reply to the ao3 comments, but never to the bookmarks. so this one is for my favourite bookmarkers all throughout my merlin fics 🤍
spin this wheel of fanfic tags. this will be the theme of your day tomorrow.
how are you doing
GOOD REALLY GOOD SUPER GOOD
alright, i guess
normal. this is just normal
not great, but i'll manage
BAD
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
@fanfiction-tags-out-of-context
loveee reading multiple fics by the same author and seeing little nods and references among them like yes! this is a multiverse to me!!!! i giggle and squeal everytime i catch a reference!!!!!!!!
BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!
but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?
genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.
LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.
