Hello again!

I just remembered Tumblr is a thing. 

[scifigrl47]

When you end a chapter on a cliffhanger, you can expect two types of comments.

Type 1:

And Type 2:

@indigonow right Indy.

Cyber harassment study reveals the unsurprising!

It still amazes me that I talk to guys who still think they get harassed just as much as women online. Like even from people who aren’t clearly and totally gross dumbasses. It kinda makes me think that, even in the best cases, it might be hard to really understand the sheer difference in frequency. You see a woman get harassed on a game and you go “Oh well I’ve been harassed” without understanding that there is seldom a session for her where that doesn’t happen or understanding what her inbox might look like…

[the-real-seebs]

That is a sort of stunning degree of difference.

[roachpatrol]

“The data’s in! Women were lying about online harassment!”

“Aha! We knew it!“ 

“Yeah, they’ve been severely underreporting how bad things are for them, turns out.”

“Wait, what?”

“They did it…They defeated the villain!!”

I’ll never get over Bakugou smiling because Deku and All Might are okay. He did it without thinking. Todoroki knows he cares and teases him only with one look, this is so precious. Kacchan you’ll never be honest, huh?

no fic update schedules, we post chapters like tired, impulsive, attention-starved children

[wanderingcas]

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)

Modern Author’s Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etc–talking to reader, essentially.

Author’s Note on FFN back in 2010: 

Author: Y’all are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much

Character:…wh–what’s gonna happen?

Author: Don’t worry about it! ^.^

Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

Author: ;)

Character: D:

those were dark, dark days, man. Today’s Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this. 

[tenoko1]

This when right alongside the detailed disclaimers to avoid lawsuits.

[hazeldomain]

Don’t forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, ‘Inside Out’ style.

[officialgleamstar]

or where you would have ask blogs for your ocs except it was just in a ff.net story. basically an entire classic authors note except people would ask questions. that was my childhood.

[zwritestuff]

Y'all forgot that sometimes we also appeared in the middle of the text with notes like “(author: noooo >:( character is such a b*tch!!!! character: I’M NOT!!!!)” And it was the crimgiest shit ever but we had fun doing it lmao

[stars-for-thought]

[wkcat]

Oops I love them

[dekueveryday]

I think about this very often

[helloclonion]

I drew some of my favorites from Class 1-A VS. Class 1-B! This was a lot of fun to do. Monoma is quickly becoming my fave from 1-B.

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

[lannamichaels]

Director’s commentaries are so much fun!

[animatedamerican]

Please do! (My stories are here.)

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

[zandracourt]

This needs to be reblogged today.

[multifandomwhre]

Instead of deleting all adult content, @staff try this you dumb bitches

[rk-1k]

broke: tumblr shrugging off their responsibility as moderators of this hellsite

woke: ao3 being ultimately inclusive and having the mental capacity to understand that art comes many forms (be it sfw or nsfw), and is dutifully keeping the interests of their users in mind

And if you get partway through a story, and it seems to be heading in a direction that you don’t like?  Maybe it’s developing into something that’s harmful for you to read about, or maybe it’s something you just don’t care about?

Stop reading that story!  You can do that!  You have the power!  You can hit your back button, close the window, or otherwise just stop!

The whole Omegaverse thing is a major squick for me, and something. I tend to find anxiety-provoking, because of how it presents gender roles.  So you know what I do if I get partway through the story and it’s untagged Omegaverse?  I stop reading!

Control your own experience!  It’s better for artistic creativity, and better for your mental health!
