Fiction is not reality.
You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.
No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.
No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.
You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.
Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.
The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.
Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.
Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.
You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.
"if you're going to write dark fiction you should explicitly state that it's not okay to do in real life so that a child doesn't see it and think it's okay"
actually i don't cater my art to children, my art is not intended for children, and it's not my responsibility to parent them. hope this helps
Hereâs something cute
When lockdown happened in the UK it happened very suddenly. At the law firm I work at, our office building emptied overnight when everyone was told to work from home. No time to clear our desks, no time to bring office plants home.
Fast forward three and a half months - everyone assumes that their plants are dead.
But then! An email goes round! Itâs turns out that one of our security guards is a florist, and -
-the security team has moved EVERY SINGLE PLANT from all 12 FLOORS of our office building into the cafeteria. Itâs been turned into a temporary greenhouse. Cacti and succulents and spider plants and terrariums and potted ferns
AND! Each plant has been INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED by hand with post-it notes with name and desk location so the plants can go home after lockdown ends
To give some indication of the scale of the endeavour:
If you zoom into the centre right photo you can see one of our security team happily waving
The plants are being taken care of tenderly. They get sun and water and are spending happy times with other plant friends

Iâve been drawing Yosuke Hanamura for over five years now let that sink in.
i fell asleep, then woke up again way early. so i put on defying gravity and drew yosuke with his Wind while giving myself a 30 minute time limit.Â
INSERT YOUR APPROPRIATELY MELODRAMATIC/BADASS CONTEXT HERE, âcuz I got nothing. I choose to believe itâs a self portrait:Â my true self!!!, by yosuke hanamura (age six)
Iâm barely awake right now. why do i always draw when iâm barely awake.
got home super late, have a weird yosuke sketch???

How to Write OCs With Trauma
Just as I had shown with the 3 love posts for this series, there are a ton of ways that trauma can be shown through character behaviors or even speech patterns. Different people react differently when it comes to trauma, and you should also keep in mind what kind of trauma the character had gone through and what they were like before it occurred before deciding how they would be like now.
In the following post, I will be giving some different responses to trauma that your characters could display.
I. The âIDGAF Anymoreâ Trauma Response
Perhaps one of the most used responses to trauma that you see in characters in media is the character that blocks off their emotional responses to anything thereafter. They may fall in love with someone but theyâll never admit it because they donât wish to be hurt. They may find a new family to love them but they shut themselves off from expressing said love because they are afraid of being hurt again.
Essentially what this response boils down to is a fear of being hurt again. Most people that shut down emotionally have been abandoned or abused or betrayed by someone they once trusted in some way; sometimes the thing that makes them feel betrayed isnât even the other personâs fault such as an older sibling moving out of the house and away from their family once they get older or the death of a loved one.
II. The âAnger Issuesâ Response
I have known 2 people personally really well that have had this response to trauma. This response is where a person is so emotionally shut down (much like the last response spoken about) that they wonât allow themselves to show any emotion other than anger.
I once had a therapist tell me âusually when a person is angry, there is another emotion behind the anger, whether it is fear or depression or otherwise.â So the first question you should ask yourself when making a character with the rage response is⌠why are they angry? What emotion is being masked by the explosion of their anger? What are they trying to hide from? What traumatic experience is making them feel this way and how do they really feel about said experience? Depending on your answers and the kind of character youâre writing about, the angry outbursts can be different.
Some people will yell, some will get violent, some will punch holes in walls and doors and furniture⌠some will scream into a pillow⌠some will storm away in the middle of a conversation or hang up the phone if someone says just the wrong thing. Really think about what your character is like, how they respond to tense situations, before you lean into their anger response because some anger responses do not fit certain personality types.
III. The âSensitive Oneâ Response
Some people, when dealing with tense situations, become intensely emotional. They may cry easily when someone just looks at them cross-eyed. They might go quiet when theyâre anxious. They might get really defensive at the smallest things. The Sensitive One can be shown in many, many ways, as there are lots of different types of sensitivity, so really consider your character and what theyâve been through before you decide which type of sensitive person they are.
IV. The âUnmasked Heroâ Response
Not all heroes wear capes⌠thatâs the saying, right? These people are the activists. These are the people that will talk to anyone for hours and hours just to talk them down. These are the people you always hear saying âI never want people to feel the way I felt when I went through this.â These are the people that become therapists to help others going through their issues. The Unmasked Heroes live their lives to make it so that no one has to experience the pain that they felt, if they can help it.
V. The âRebelâ Response
I do what I want. Thatâs the theme song of the Rebel. They lash out, usually acting like the victim no matter what happens (sometimes they really are, but sometimes they arenât). Trauma can completely rewire a personâs brain, but with the Rebel, they often felt repressed before or like they were unable to fully be themselves and when something traumatic happens, something snaps in them to trigger that âI donât give a flying fuckâ response in their brain and suddenly theyâre doing anything and everything they ever wanted to do (and sometimes even didnât want to do) just to spite the rest of the world and if you donât like it, you can kiss their ass. This can also be shown through a runaway after something traumatic happens.
This is another very common, often used trauma response.
VI. The âMental Breakdownâ Response
As a mentally ill woman myself, I want to emphasize: not all who go through trauma get mental illnesses and not all with mental illness went through a mental break. That being said, it is very common for an extremely traumatic experience (or life, in some cases) to give someone a mental illness. Or rather, to bring it out of them. There are illnesses like Bipolar, PTSD and more that come to the surface after an extreme mental break, PTSD being the more famous for this very situation.
What is important here is that there is no one situation that will cause a mental break. Depending on the person, it can be something that would be nothing to one person but would completely break another down while a third person might be going through 5 things all at once and seem to be handling it well. There are so many different illnesses out there, and a lot of them are very similar, so what I think is most important is that you do your research before you write an illness you have not personally seen or experienced. If you know someone with an illness you want to write about, ask them if you can run some idea by them and make sure it isnât stigmatizing the illness, as mental illness gets stigmatized left and right in media.
VII. The âClass Clownâ Response
Another common thing that is shown in media - and Iâve noticed is very common in real life - is the depressed clown. There are so many people that listen to society telling them it isnât okay to not be okay, so they laugh and clown around to make others laugh and just like a lot of people need othersâ compliments to feel validated, these people often need laughter to feel validated.
Some people that become the Clown type will deflect their sadness by making dumb jokes. Maybe, if you write about your character texting or on social media, you can show them in a downward spiral and just get on their social media page to post a dumb pun to negate the negativity. Or make a joke at their own expense, which is also common. A lot of people will make others feel bad for not being able to laugh at themselves, and these people are [often] great at doing exactly that, even if they end up in tears later on when theyâre by themselves.
VIII. The âAngsty Artistâ Response
As Iâm sure a lot of you are aware, a lot of artists have a lot of emotions they are processing and a lot of them will use their art (whether it be visual or writing or otherwise) in order to process it.
You may have a teenager writing angsty fanfiction or poetry. You may have a young adult opening their first blog where they write about their life beginning adulthood. You may have a person that is drawing dark, gory artwork. Whatever it may be, the art can either directly reflect the way they feel, such as the dark artwork, or they may do the opposite and write about their personal idea of a utopia and use art to escape. Either way, the art is a means to process and understand themselves better and/or escape from reality for however long they do it.
The only good and bad thing about using this response is that a lot of people that use art end up getting lost in it. They end up becoming obsessed and never cease to work on the art or think about the art and may become consumed by their own processing creativity.
IX. The âAddictionâ Response
Addiction can come in so many forms. It can be the typical drugs, cigarettes, alcohol⌠or it can be addiction to getting lost in a hobby (see #8: The âAngsty Artistâ)⌠or it can be becoming a workaholic. Honestly, anything can become an addiction if you let it consume you, so keep that in mind. It could even be something such as them becoming a hoarder because they are afraid to let their past go, so they wonât let anything go.
There are so many other responses to trauma. There are billions of people in the world, and tons of them have trauma in their lives. To say that it all boils down to these responses would be silly, but these are some common responses to trauma that would be a great starting point if youâre trying to figure out how to have a character of yours going through trauma.

g gundam is literally the greatest show of all time
Lots of Reddit threads on FFN recently having trouble.
Last May there were posts about FFN being abandoned. Anyone have links to those?
Sometime last year there was someone on tumblr dot come going âIâve seen this before, folks, FFN is going downâ, but I think itâs been nearly a year since that
so FFN could have been abandoned for two years at this point, as long as they paid for hosting and domain name in big enough lumps, and itâll go down in a dramatic fireball when one of those prepayments runs out
The official twitter account went pretty abruptly silent a year ago, huh
The fun thing is that at least for me, the tweets that both FFN and FictionPress list on their front page have timestamps that are like â10h agoâ, but if you look actually through their twitter thread, those are actually from January 2021. I donât know if the thing is actually actively dying, but it certainly isnât very alive right now.
(As always: Always make sure you have a local backup of all your fanfics. You never know what might happen, to this or indeed any other fanfic site.)
I just hope that if itâs dying, the people in charge make sure to contact ArchiveOfOurOwn staff before it goes under, so that they can perform a mass fanfic rescue. Iâm sure there are already plans drawn up for that eventuality, as ambitious as it would be.
Fanfictiondownloader.net will download any story from fanfiction.net into whatever format you like (PDF, epub, mobi, rtf, and several others). It wonât be an online archive available to fandom as a whole, but it means you can at least keep a personal copy for yourself.
I recommend doing this for any fic you like on ff.net.
Just in case.
As a Fandom Old, I can tell you that it really really sucks when an archive just disappears and you canât find your favorite fic anywhere else.
So I know someone whoâs trying to perform the fanfic rescue flightfoot is talking about.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE due to the way ff.net is coded. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SAVED BY HAND. Which means actively retyping it. Word by word.
IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST WITH THE PRESERVATION OF FANFICTION HISTORY, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT.
Pick a fandom. Any fandom. Iâd honestly recommend starting with the ones with very small amounts of fic because those are most at risk for complete fandom loss. Start saving. Do it by screenshots, if you have to. Do it comprehensivelyâstart on the last page and save every. Single. One. Make sure you include the header and any authorâs notes. EDIT NOTHING, ONLY DOCUMENT. Yes, if that means someone misspelled something or you spot a misnamed character, you need to keep that error. If you can form a ânetworkâ with friends to save all of a fandomâs works, DO IT.
Do not skip any fics. We are not the arbiters of what âshouldâ be saved. If you can get access to the forums in any way, save whatever you can access. I know some of that has been saved by the Wayback Machine, but not all. I can already tell you research into My Immortal has been rendered uncompleteable by the loss of the forums. Thatâs going to be true for ALL fics. Save whatever you can reach.
I strongly recommend using the following format for whatever you save, so it can be indexed later: fandom_fictitle_author_datefirstposted.fileextension. So for example (Iâm making this fic up for demonstration purposes, donât bother looking for it), naruto_blessing_ichigo98_07192009 would be Blessing, by ichigo98, posted in the Naruto fandom on 19 July 2009. This provides all the information needed to see if a fic has been cross posted to the AO3, and to run a search engine to see if itâs archived elsewhere.
We may not be able to save it all, but we need to save as much as possible. I can start a Google spreadsheet or something if people want to have a database to keep from getting the same three fandoms over and over.
If weâre going to rescue it, THE TIME IS NOW.
As of today, September 17, 2022, fanfictiondownloader.net does not work to archive things from fanfiction.net. However, retyping everything by hand isnât the only option - copy and paste is still working for me in Firefox operating on Windows 10.
As previous people in the chain have stated, the fact that the writing has been on the wall for FF.net for more than a year does NOT mean we were wrong - it means we are running out of time. The administration really does appear to have abandoned the site. So whenever the bill comes due for the hosting (and you can indeed buy hosting and domain names etc in large chunks - like decade-long chunks, in some cases) or whatever, and that doesnât get paid? The site is going down.
There is no FF.net lead mission to archive or save it. There is no âI hope FF.netâs staff contacts AO3 so the fic can be archived.â If we want it saved, it is up to US to do it, and the time to do it is NOW.
Even if you literally go in there and pick a fic at random, EVERYTHING HELPS. Small fandoms, large fandoms, fandoms youâre sure somebody else has already covered - doesnât matter. Do it anyway.
Please help. This isnât a huge and co-ordinated effort. Thereâs no phone tree. If you are reading this, I am begging you personally to help. Even if you only archive ten things - THAT HELPS!
Start in the fandoms you love or start in a fandom youâve never heard of! Just please!! Help us save this stuff before itâs lost forever!
hey Les Mis fandom olds, remember the days when LJ and forums were where we hung out but FFN was our archive of reference? idk if i have the personal bandwidth to spearhead a full-blown preservation effort right now, but Nowâs The Time and thereâs lots of history lying around there. one of the other reblogs mentions Fichub Dot Net, btw, as a FFN downloader that still works as of September 2022.
If you go to ffn and âcanât copy-paste thingsâ, replace the âwwwâ in the url with âmâ, which will take you to the mobile site on desktop, and you should be good to go, although check various browsers if you run into trouble, etc.
You do NOT need to retype anything by hand. If the above tip stops working there are also ways to download the text of webpages in ways where you might need to deal with wonky formatting shit, but it is basically never true that âyou need to retype it by handâ of anything ON THE INTERNET. There is no text on the internet that is unscrapable, you just need to dig around a bit to find out how, sometimes.
