what if Shane was a former carpenter and only like 60% straight? and what if the farmer was a recovering drug addict with mommy issues? what if they fucked to avoid talking about their feelings? well oh boy do I have the fanfic for you

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

this is my first published fanfic and I am ecstatic that it's already at 2k hits!!! this is a magic-included fic that takes some of the most chaotic aspects of SDV and turns them into real human moments. or keeps em silly. either way. I just added two more chapters today and the smut is coming soon ❤️

meet cute: it's raining and I see your battered bleeding body lying in the mud and I kick it slightly to see if you're dead

a lil repost of 2 older shane pieces cuz i edited the colors a bit and also it felt like these 2 should go together because they both involve shane gazing in a melancholic way into the distance with an unidentified stick in his mouth. i guess i was in some kind of phase, lol.

the second one was supposed to be shane with a mullet but it's not really a mullet tbh.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.

So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there's a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People's lives could be at risk.

I found a new piece of Shane dialogue that I never knew about???

apparently if you give him the bouquet the day after his six heart event (the day he shows up on your porch and apologizes for giving you a scare) instead of saying his usual "I didn't know you felt the same way" he says this 😭

oh my heart BROKE Shane I will always love you

[nicoleknives]

If you're still taking requests can you draw Shane glaring over the rim of his beer glass at that stupid sexy farmer that won't leave him alone? 😂 Thanks! 💖

give him a break he is CONFUSED OKAY?! Thank you so much for the request!! Had a ton of fan working on this one, probably one of my favorite shane's art so far!! Also tooke the chance to explore a bit with my artstyle <3

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

[wardog-of-whimsy]

I promise you I (and the majority of the authors I know) would NEVER leave a mean or hateful comment on a fic! We all understand how to back-arrow or close out of something that is not working for us. Please note this new bot issue!

[lizardsfromspace]

Remember, being kind is punk rock. Being overly polite due to anxiety is prog rock. A hug is alt rock unless it goes on too long then it's folk rock. Empathy is third wave ska. Being mean, though, is not punk rock. Bc being mean is pop punk
