Miphlink cannot be a background ship. Other background ships are fine as long as miphlink is the focus.
If you are writing a fic, be sure to tag your fic appropriately.
NSFW will be allowed. Art and fics must inform the viewer appropriately through tags, ratings, warnings, etc. Nothing overly obscene, illegal, or insensitive will be allowed.
No ship or character bashing.
All kinds of genres and AU's all allowed.
AI generated works will NOT be accepted or tolerated. You will be blacklisted if found to have used any AI tools in your work.
Free Day prompt is an opportunity to write or draw whatever you want. Past Prompts are prompts picked from previous years.
Alright! Sorry for being so absent today! I was building a tool so you can all check your own names on demand.
I am asking that you not talk about it on Hugging Face. I'm sure word will get there eventually, but I'd like to avoid them accessing this as much as possible. Feel absolutely free to spread around Tumblr.
AO3 search tool is here! Use page 1 to search scraped fics by username. Use page 2 to search by work ID (which you'll need to do if you're looking for an anonymous work).
Or you can use this version, which is strongly recommended if you've published more than about 20 fics on the username you're searching.
If you're unsure which to use:
The first link is better if your entire username is a common word. For example, if you're username is just "bread" then you probably can't search yourself in the second link. The first version is way slower, so I recommend trying the second link first and using the first link as a backup option if the second fails.
The first link contains a page to search by work ID. This is good if you have an anonymous or orphaned fic, since that's not going to appear by searching your username.
The second link is better if you have a LOT of fics. It will give you a count of fics so you don't have to add them up. It will show the top 2,000 work results found.
If you have more than 2,000 published works, first off, I am jealous of your motivation. But second, that won't display right on the public version of the tools. You can send an ask or DM to have me do a custom search for you if you have more than 2,000 total works under 1 username.
You can also ask or DM if your entire username is a common word, because you're likely to get drowned out of the search results in that case. Try the tool first, but if it returns a lot of author results for your search, and YOUR name isn't in the results, ask me! There's a decent chance you're in there, but one of the tool's weak points is searching extremely common words.
In case this post breaches containment: this is a tool that only has access to the work IDs, titles, author names, chapter counts, and hit counts of the scraped fics for this most recent scrape discovered in April 2025. There is no other work data in this tool. This never had the content of your works loaded to it, only info to help you check if your works were scraped. If you need additional metadata, I can search my offline copy for you if you share a work ID number and tell me what data you're looking for. I will never search the full work text for anyone, but I can check things like word counts and tags.
Please come yell if the tool stops working, and I'll fix as fast as I can. Version 1 is slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on if you're shy. Version 2 typically loads results within 1 minute and handles most users well.
On mobile, enable screen rotation and turn your phone sideways. It's a litttttle easier to use like that. It works better if you can use desktop.
Some FAQs below the cut:
"What do I need to do now?": At this time, the main place where this dataset was shared is disabled. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to do anything, but I'll update if I hear otherwise. If you're worried about getting scraped again, locking your fics to users only is NOT a guarantee, but it's a little extra protection. There are methods that can protect you more, but those will come at a cost of hiding your works from more potential readers as well.
"I don't want to know!": This tool is 100% optional. If you don't want to know, simply don't click the link. You are totally welcome to block me if it makes you feel more comfortable.
"Can I see the exact content they scraped?": Nope, not through me. I don't have the time to vet every single person to make sure they are who they say they are, and I don't want to risk giving a scraped copy of your fic to anyone else. If you really want to see this, you can find the info out there still and look it up yourself, but I can't be the one to do it for you.
"Are locked fics safe?": Not safe, but so far, it appears that locked fics were scraped less often than public fics. The only fics I haven't seen scraped as of right now are fics in unrevealed collections, which even logged-in users can't view without permission from the owner.
"My work wasn't a fic. It was an image/video/podfic.": You're safe! All the scrape got was stuff like the tags you used and your title and author name. The work content itself is a blank gap.
"It's slow.": Unfortunately, a 13 million row data dashboard is always going to be on the slow side. I think I've done everything I can to speed it up, but it may still take up to 10 minutes to load. It's faster if you can use desktop, but it should work on your phone too.
"My fic isn't there.": If it was published after March 15th, 2025, that was likely after all of the scraping took place. Otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the scraper's code just... wasn't very good, so most likely, your fic was missed by random chance. I am continuing to look for methods to reduce the chances of a work getting scraped anyway, and I will share on this blog if/when I find something that works.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I've received more donations than what I paid to make this tool so you do NOT need to keep sending money. (But I super appreciate everyone who did help fund this! I just wanna make sure we all know it's all paid for now.)
(Made some quick edits to the post on 04-May-2025 to update information a bit!)
one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important
As a writer, I spend 90% of my time googling synonyms or searching for words I know but have incidentally forgotten right in the moment that I need it for once.
works made by AI are not fanfiction, because they’re not fan-made. you didn’t write shit. you didn’t create shit. you are not a writer; you are not a creator. this isn’t art, this isn’t storytelling. this is just embarrassing for you.
if a single line of your work was made by generative AI then you should be fucking mortified.
link is a reckless knight with a talent for cooking and lots of interesting scars that he refuses to talk about. he's really close with mipha and rarely speaks to anyone but her. he's always willing to step in and help someone with an enemy, but occasionally has episodes where he seems to lose track of where he is (the party members don't know this, but he's recovering memories)
mipha's their cleric, a princess in hiding after the zora monarchy was overthrown by the hylians. due to her guilt at failing to protect her kingdom, she puts her all into healing and protecting her party and often deals with mana sickness due to her devotion 🥲 the rest of the party don't know she's a princess and assumes she's a thief, because why would a simple preistess have so much regalia stored in her bag? 🤔
revali is a ranger with a prickly attitude. he's not particularly close with any party members, saying he's only there for the money, but his fondness for his them sometimes shines through (though it's quickly replaced with snarky comments and quips). he has a bad habit of drinking to excess and becoming ill. it is said that he was once a great rito warrior, but after a fall from grace now spends is time scraping together coins as an adventurer.
daruk is a champion and is really really strong. he is revered throughout the adventurer's guild for his kindness and loyaty. he was the chief of the gorons for many years, but decided to step down in order to learn more about the world and hone his fighting skills by adventuring.
urbosa is a fighter who is extremely fast and devestatingly strong. while she is the cheif of the gerudo, she enjoys adventuring and learning more about the different ways of life in hyrule. currently, she's on a year-long break from her duties and enjoying the adventurer's life.
zelda is the party's wizard. while she is the princess of hyrule, she left the castle after witnessing the horrible things the hyrulian army did in zora's domain. she uses her newfound freedom of being an adventure to explore. while she can harness divine magic, she prefers to explode things :^) her relationship with mipha is initially strained due to her being a member of hylian royalty, but they overcome their differences and become friends.
I can't stop thinking about AU where Link and Mipha have to live in hiding after running away to elope, so here's a sketch of them in the sort of disguise they'd wear when going into town for supplies or smth
their cover story is that they are traveling merchants who lost their home to the Calamity 😔
not pictured, but in my head Link grows a beard and cuts his hair short so he can remove his face covering a lot of the time and not be recognized.
poor Mipha has to cover up almost every inch when they go into town 😢
they also have a cover story for that:
"what's the matter with her?" "she sick?" "why is she covered up all the time?"
"my wife was horribly disfigured due to the Calamity."
one of my biggest pet peeves with fandom is that people will see 2 characters bicker even slightly and go "ship?? enemies to lovers??? make them kiss??" and sometimes it's just like. no I think these people just dislike each other
This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.
Considering BOTH of those tropes, does any story idea come to mind for your particular blorbo, or a comfort series?
No, I can't think of anything
No, I hate at least one of these tropes and don't WANT to think of anything
I can see the... basic outline of an idea
I can think of a story. It's not a GOOD story idea, but I have it
I can think of a story, and I kind of like it
I can think of a story, and I might actually do something with this idea!

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.
After long last I can finally say the mod I've been tinkering away slowly at for the last few years now has an initial release!
Mipha's Grace is an overhaul of the BOTW experience placing Mipha as the main character. With a text overhaul, multiple armors, custom animations and the first WIP custom ragdoll in the BOTW community and much more, Mipha's Grace has a little bit of everything when it comes to a character replacement mod.
I owe so much to the BOTW modding and Mipha community over the years for their support and knowledge to get this mod running.
More to come as there is still so much more to work on in regards to animations, text, armors and much more to make the whole complete experience! Check out Shrinefox.com/Mipha for the download!
