does anyone else listen to All I want by Kodaline and I don't know you yet by Alexander 23 and just start sobbing like a little baby (sudden and uncontrollably).
Hello ATLA fans! With the recent changes to Fandom Metatags, a new change is coming to the way the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise fandom on AO3 is structured! Don’t worry, the existing fandom tags will remain as they are - this change will not impact your ability to search for works in specific fandoms (i.e. Legend of Korra, The Chronicles of the Avatar novels, etc.).
What is changing is that we are creating a new metatag for the fandom!
What is a metatag, you ask? Great question - think of metatags (and subtags) like file folders on your computer or in your Google Drive. In this analogy, the metatag is the top-level folder and the subtags are sub-folders that live inside that top-level folder.
New ATLA metatag: Avatar: The Last Airbender & Related Fandoms
All current and future ATLA-related fandoms will be sub-fandoms ("subtags") of the new Avatar: The Last Airbender & Related Fandoms fandom metatag. Currently, this includes:
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
Avatar: Legend of Korra
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Chronicles of the Avatar Novels - Various
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Live Action TV 2024)
Avatar Legends (Roleplaying Game)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Video Games 2006 2007)
Avatar: Realms Collide (Video Game)
There is no 2010 movie in Ba Sing Se The Last Airbender (2010)
As new ATLA franchise canon is released, those will be added as subfandoms as well. For more information on the hows and whys, keep reading below the cut!
Why are we making this change?
In short, to make it easier to filter and search for what you’re looking for!
Franchise-wide searching: Don’t care which part of canon is included in your search? No problem! Filter/search using the new metatag (Avatar: The Last Airbender & Related Fandoms) and all the fandoms listed above will be included in the results.
Specific sub-fandom searching: Only interested in works tagged as Legend of Korra or one of the other sub-fandoms? We’ve got you covered, too! Simply filter/search using the subfandom, and you’ll only see results that have the sub-fandom tagged. And if you want to exclude works where some or all of the other sub-fandoms are tagged, you can still do that as well! Just add those fandoms under the exclude filter.
Crossovers: Don’t like crossovers with external fandoms? Or maybe you LOVE crossovers? Either way, this change is good news for you! By organizing all the ATLA subfandoms under the overarching metatag, works that are tagged with multiple ATLA fandoms will no longer be treated as a crossover work by the filtering/search system! This means that:
When you exclude crossovers from your search, works tagged with multiple ATLA-related fandoms will now show up in the results (since the system no longer considers them to be crossovers since they are now all part of the same fandom tree).
When you include crossovers in your search, works tagged with ATLA fandoms and non-ATLA fandoms will still appear as usual.
Other ATLA Wrangling Tips
Beware the blue people Avatar! While you’re always welcome to tag your works however you like, we recommend selecting your preferred ATLA fandom directly from the dropdown or using phrasing specific to ATLA. If you tag your work’s fandom just using the word "Avatar" or something similar, you run the risk of your work being listed under the James Cameron Avatar franchise instead of ATLA. Tags are wrangled based on what they've most been used for, and many "Avatar" tags have already been made synonyms of James Cameron Avatar fandom tags.
Speaking of the dropdown - mind the dropdown! Because AO3’s dropdown prioritizes results that list a word multiple times, the first result may not always be the result you’re looking for. For example, the fandom for the ATLA novels is Avatar: The Last Airbender: Chronicles of the Avatar Novels - Various, which includes the word "Avatar" twice. We recommend double-checking what tag you select from the dropdown to make sure it's the fandom tag you intended!
Happy tagging! If you have questions or need help, please contact Support, who will be happy to offer any necessary guidance.

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.
and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.
Muichiro IS 14, and you cannot use the argument that "it was normal back then" or that "it's just fiction." Spoiler alert: it wasn't okay back then, it still isn't, and normalizing this stuff is harmful. I just saw a YouTube Short of a Muichiro cosplay transition that put him in an inappropriate position for a 14-year-old. I was disgusting and disappointed, because in the comments I couldn't find anyone pointing out that it was wrong. They either just ignored it or said something along the lines of "The transition was 🥵" (referring to the sexual positons) or " OMG he's too hot, I just got a nose bleed!!!" I personally don't think ANY of those things are to be saying about a child, I just hope someone else agrees with me bc this is not okay for people to just accept.
Will I get hate for this? Most likely. Does my argument come off strong? Yeah, I realize that this sounds rude, but I'm pretty sure this isn't okay and that this topic shouldn't be taken lightly. Did it need to be said? Yes, Tumblr told me to "go ahead, put anything" and I thought this needed to be brought up.
I don't hate you, I hate that this kind of thing(adultification and child sexualization)is being normalized.
soooo I need some recommendations.....Does anyone have any good Demon Slayer fics????
I'm looking for giyuu-centered fic bc why not ( I'm hyperfixating on him rn) and I haven't found any new ones that I like.... So if you have any, send them my way please!
Just to be a little more specific about what I'm looking for:
Nothing explicit or mature pls :3
Im not really looking for a fic w/ shinogiyuu, sabigiyuu or rengiyuu! I don't hate the ships or have any beef with them, I just prefer sanegiyuu :P
I WOULD ALSO PREFER IT TO BE A COMPLETED FIC BUT IF NOT THAT'S OKAY TOO. AN AWESOME IS STILL AN AWESOME FIC WHETHER COMPLETED OR NOT.
Idk what else to put, but I'm also looking for a fic where giyuu wasn't late (ifykyk) as a side quest.....=\
so when I was binging Ao3 (obviously) I stumbling across an AMAZING piece of fanfiction. And what do you do when you find an amazing fic? You recommend it to other people.
So if you're looking for a good Zenitsu centered fic, you should check out Godspeed, Zenitsu by 1nfer10r1ty
It's a 10/10 fic where zenitsu finds out about kaigaku's betrayal before gramps and, as the author puts it, basically turns into the flash to prevent him (gramps) from committing seppuku.
Im actually desperate bc I cannot find this fic I read probably before i had an ao3 account and I reeeally want/need to read it right now. SO IF ANYONE RECOGNIZES THE FIC IM TALKING ABOUT PLZ TELL ME CUZ I WIIILL WORSHIP THE GROUND YOU WALK ON AMD LOVE YOU (platonically) FOREVER!!!
okay so
Fandom: Batman related of some sort
Main character: Timothy motherfucking Jackson Drake
Plot: Tim has a stalker that keeps sending him stuff (like letters and roses or some other type of flower) and I'm pretty sure the stalker is following Tim around but I know Tim gets increasingly paranoid. The bat family don't know at first but after something happens ( Tim maybe gets attacked after leaving work but that might be a diff fic) and when they finally catch the perp in his basement is a garden type thing where flowers (95% sure its roses) are being grown out of/ on top of a skeleton (?? How do u describe that???) The skeleton is old and was killed by the stalker.
Other characters: bruce , jason??, other batfamily memeberes???
IF ANYONE HAS ANY CLUE TO WHAT IM STRUGGLING TO SAY PLSSSS TELL ME BC IM JUST A SLEEP DEPRIVED AO3 USER!!!
Tim is Red Robin in it! But don't worry about finding it bc some lovely person found it, it's called "You've got those eyes that drive me crazy ( and I've got eyes to watch you sleep). But thank you for trying to help my sleep deprived self find a random fic<3

i almost started crying when I saw that ao3 was down, but then it got better, and guess what? It always gets better before it gets worse. And now I have resorted to DRASTIC measures to entertain myself ...(my search history is ...questionable, to say the least. ("Other places to read fanfiction when ao3 is down :( "))
People (or whatever u r), this is very bad. I have been to Tumblr, YouTube, Bsky, Pinterest, Quotev, and even outside to touch grass! I know, weird.
I honestly don't remember where I was going with this but it definitely wasn't to therapy.
as of right now ( I dint actlly know but ) robin x Vickie is rovickie or something, I like vibin better, or rickie!!! Absolutely no hate to my favorite lesbians <3333
