My Etsy witch will hear about this

[fuckdamn]

best thing a male character can do is be dog-coded. second best thing a male character can do is sob hysterically

[fuckdamn]

third best thing a male character can do is be a little gay about his best friend

[veronicaleighauthor]

[solarsthoughts]

unfortunately, my nervous system cannot tell the difference between being chased by a lion and posting a fic on ao3

[solarsthoughts]

idk who needs to hear this, but low engagement does not mean your writing is bad.

engagement doesn’t solely depend on the quality of the work. whilst it can play a role, other things such as fandom, ship, tags, tropes and posting at the right time of the day/week play a SIGNIFICANT role.

so keep writing what you love. keep writing what makes your heart happy. your work is amazing. the fact that you’re even putting words out there is amazing.

do not let numbers define you or your work.

[solarsthoughts]

it’s always extra special when someone leaves a kudos or comment on one of your older fics. like you’re telling me you scrolled all the way down/filtered through all the works in the fandom and clicked on my fic, even though it was posted months and months ago? and you LIKED IT? you showed it some love even though it’s been collecting dust for months?

and this, everyone, is how you make a writer‘s entire week.

[aurin-avenir]

Me: I love writing!

Also me:

[pasta-lovaa]

“ao3 should have recommendation features!”

That’s what community is for! Ao3 doesn’t owe you shit. Ao3 is but a filing cabinet in the big beautiful office of tumblr. You all need to clock in and start engaging in fandom culture again and then you’ll get those sweet sweet fanfiction recs.

[writercultureis]

writer culture is shutting the hell up when the fic you read is bad and just closing the tab and looking for another one cause you know that the writer is not getting paid fot that shi

.

[soulwriter-sp]

shoutout to AO3 authors who write 100k fics for free while juggling mental illness, academic burnout, 3 jobs, and a deep-rooted need to fix fictional people.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

hey so. don't do this. being a minor doesn't give you an excuse to be an entitled piece of shit. if you're old enough to use the internet and communicate with strangers online, you're old enough to know basic manner. fanfic writers write for themselves, they don't owe you anything. you’re privileged enough to read their works for free. either be respectful to them or shut the hell up.

to clarify, this didn’t happen to me. I found it on twitter and it made my blood boil

by the way, if you talk like this to a stranger in real life, you might get a black eye. I don’t condone violence, but sometimes if you fuck around, you’ll find out. it’s one thing to joke like this with your friend, someone you’re close with. but a stranger? know your boundaries.

[antarctic-arcanine]

If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.

[myqueenmarceline]

Adding to this: please TELL ME if I share something that is genAI and you know it is. I want to know this information.

[sunraven0828]

Me: *Reading my drafts and getting invested on the story just to realize there’s a cliffhanger*

Me: “Damn, i wonder what happens next. I hope the author updates so-“

Me: *realizes im the author and im the one who has to write what’s next.*

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

personal opinion but, in fandom space, ai generated works are not fan-created contents. because a soulless robot cannot be passionate about something nor can it be “a fan” of something the way human artists are
