Kopio

Yeah no idea if anyone is even interested but I write the BNHA fic "Kopio" at ao3, so here you can sent me asks and stuff if you want

[user-needs-new-hyperfixation]

I am absolutely filled with adoration for people who leave comments on fanfic. 

Bless you for your all-caps screaming and your keysmashing, I can spend days smiling like a goober in public places at the memory of it.

Bless you for your entirely needless apologies over commenting in a second language. I am so impressed by you! The most I know in any language besides English is how to introduce myself and maybe ask for the bathroom! You are so cool!

Bless you for coming out of your shell to comment when you’re nervous about doing so! Fanfic authors are a voracious species, but not a picky one. Even the smallest one-sentence comment is good food! 

Bless you for quoting your favourite lines, or sharing some insight you gained into a character through the fic. It makes it so clear that you really read and absorbed all the little bits! 

Bless you for noticing small details around world-building and setting and whatnot! It makes the googling worth it!

Bless you for commenting your own headcanons and ideas! They help me expand my own understanding of the setting and characters!

Bless you for writing your own fics! Get out there and put those characters in Situations™! 

Aaagh I just…I love fandom so much, I really really do.

Small spoiler for chapter 32

I wish that ao3 had an option to filter warnings (and tbh certain authors) out like I will never ever want to read it and just seeing it puts me off so much that often I end up closing my browser because that content upsets me so much lmao

[darcylindbergh]

There is a way to do this but I can’t recall how to do it. it’s something you type into the box for “other filters” or something, I don’t remember. who knows?? It’s not a great option, and I don’t know if you can sort out authors that way, but it’s better than nothing if someone can reblog this with how to do it!

[fordeductions-blog]

Alrighty friends! It takes some specificity, but you can do this. Let me show you how!

So I started with going to the Sherlock (TV) section of Ao3. On the right we find this lovely section! ((I know I’m going over things you already probably know, but I figure this post may go to new Ao3 users, so bear with me.))

Underneath this, I chose sort by Kudos, because that’s a quick way to find most popular fics, for the sake of this demonstration. 

With those filters on, we end up with this being our first two results: 

As you can see, we have Nature and Nurture by earlgreytea68, and The Internet Is Not Just For Porn by cyerus. So what if I am utterly sick of seeing earlgreytea68 on my list? Let’s pretend I’ve read all their fics, or that I just don’t like her, or whatever. I want this author out. I go to this section on the right: 

In “Search within results” I type earlgreytea68 into the bar, with a minus sign in front. This gives me the following page, upon hitting the sort and filter button:

There goes earlgreytea68! But now I’ve decided that Crack is just not my thing, I’m sick of that, too, for heaven’s sake, I want something reasonable in my gay slash fanfiction about detectives that solve crimes about glowing dogs and irish megalomaniacs. Heaven forbid this get ridiculous.

Well, then I add this to my search:

Which gets rid of everything with that tag. My results are now:

Performance in a Leading Role is now my first result!

You can do this as many times as you want; the biggest problem I have is trying to filter out multi-worded tags. For example, “Secret Relationship” is hard to filter. Better to go with authors you dislike or with words like “DubCon”. 

I hope this helps! Also remember that googling site:archiveofourown.org and then adding search terms will mean google searches Ao3 for you, and sometimes that works far better. 

Good luck!

[darcylindbergh]

An excellent in-depth guide! Thank you!!

[eyesofmedusa]

omg changed my whole ao3 rarepair game

[stucky-ficrecs]

An excellent guide to filtering on AO3!

You can filter out phrases by enclosing them in quotes. For example, if ABO and Hydra Trash Party are not your things, try:

-“alpha/beta/omega dynamics” -”hydra trash party”

[possibly-an-obsession]

I have more advice!

Say, you’re in your random fandom- I went with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since I’ve been reading Iron Man stuff recently. Tony Stark is awesome.

But anyway, you’re on the page, and you see that there are 174,774 works! That is way too many for a casual afternoon’s browsing.

And you see that the first one is Peter Parker/Tony Stark and that is not your jam. It doesn’t work for you, or it squicks you, whatever. Wouldn’t life be easier if you could browse without seeing that pairing (or whatever pairing you don’t like)? You can!

First, click on that pairing tag(You may want to open this in another tab, actually.):

and it’ll take you to the page for that pairing tag. Click this button:

and then look at the address bar! The actual page is unimportant. Copy the numbers located here:

and go back to the original search page! Down on the side, in the same place you can get rid of other tags, type -relationship_ids:”the number you just copied”

Then hit ‘sort and filter’ annnd… magic!

The fics with that pairing are gone! You can also do multiple pairings, get rid of any tags you don’t like, and sort it by date or length or kudos, or whatever.

Enjoy.

I’d just like to add that these sorts of search modifiers ALSO WORK IN GOOGLE AND MOST RESEARCH DATABASES. The more you know.

[itsmajel]

Just a quick reminder that AO3 uses Lucene as a search and index engine.

That means you can pretty much use all the Lucene Query Syntax in the “Seach within result” field.

I don’t think AO3 indexes the whole fic for searching but definitely it’s meta data. Combined with Lucenes awesome query syntax you can do pretty much every search you heart desires.

Addtional Lucene Query Syntax that has not been mentioned yet and you might find useful:

Wildcard Searches

You can use wildcard searches within single terms. For a single character wildcard search use the “?” symbol. For a multiple character wildcard search use the “*” symbol.

AND/OR

Lucene allows you to combin terms through logic operators. You’re looking for fics that are either “reunion” or “enemies to lovers”?

Just put in >“reunion” OR “enemies to lovers”< into the field

and you end up with all the stories that are either or but not both.

But wait, now you’re looking for fics that are both “reunion” and “enemies to lovers” at the same time? Now worries Lucene got you covered.

Just change it into >“"reunion” AND “enemies to lovers”“<

and you’ll get all the fics that mention both “reunion” and “enemies to lovers” somewhere in their meta data (note: it’s not just tags. It’s also title, summary …)

Boosting

You can also boost specific terms when doing a multi term search.

You can use the “^” Operator followed by a number to boost a specific term.

Say you’re interested in fics that are either “first kiss” or “bed sharing” but you’re much more interested in “bed sharing” fics and feel they are more relevant.

You can use the search >“first kiss” “bed sharing”^5<

to manipulate the order of your results in a matter that the score of every fic that contains beg sharing is multiplied by 5. Therefore all fics containing that term are given priority and shown at the top of the list.

You can also combine all of the above, target specifc fields (that’s what you did with the “relationsship_id:xxx”) and many more things.

For more info about the Lucene query syntax check out Apache’s Lucene Query doc.

^ sharing this because we all love fanfics and @itsmajel is a freaking nerd 👌

[kopiothefic]

I think I'm about to publish a new BNHA fic🤔 already written the first few chapters! Now the problem is that coming up with a name for the fic is a pain in my ass....

[kopiothefic]

I was close to hitting writer's block for the USJ chapter but inspiration hit me and I'm happy to tell that I think I can continue my saturday updating schedule for a few more chapters!😁 I might even update the next chapter on friday since I'm going away for the weekend🤔 So only a few more days until the next update!

[herbatahleb]

[kopiothefic]

Deku’s hero outfit!

Posting this here so I can add it to the new chapter;) Posting it in just a few minutes!

[kopiothefic]

Lol, the new chapter is already almost 20 pages long uups.... I think I will write it out as one chapter but then post it as two🤔 At least then I can guarantee a quick update😁 But for now it still needs some work and isn't ready to be posted for awhile... Hopefully I will get it before the year changes!

[kopiothefic]

Year has changed and we are halfway through it already..... Buuuut the chapter (20+ pages) is almoooost ready, I think I will publish the first part tomorrow:D

[kopiothefic]

You know, I thought the last missing scene would be an easy and quick scene to write. Then I progastinated the whole day, finally got to writing, wrote like 3 pages of completely unplanned stuff before the scene I was supposed to write and now like 2 hours later and I still haven't written the scene I was supposed to🙈🙈 the next chapterS are aaaaaaaaalmost done though.... and yeah I have to post it in at least 2 parts because it has gotten just soooooo long.

Not sure if I'll have the time to write tomorrow or the weekend hmm.... we will see. But I promise to update the next chapter to ao3 at least during next week!

[kopiothefic]

I mean... when you have writing flow, you gotta take advantage of it right???? Yeah it's like... 4.30 am but I finished the scene!

So finally.... sleep, yes. Read through and post..... later, yes.

Goodnight!

TW Blood, TW injury

Now for the angst fanart… I present to you: Chapter 17 of Kopio

”Inside the shield Izuku was crying over the still form of his injured father. Hizashi was basically unconscious but he had such obvious and painful looking injuries that Izuku was afraid to shake him awake like he did in the mornings.

Everything around him was fuzzy and quiet, the only thing Izuku could focus on was his Papa.

“Papa! Papa, please”, Izuku begged as his small hands stroked Hizashi’s cheek, coming up bloody, “Papa please wake up. Wake up Papa!” Izuku begged and had begged for the last fifteen minutes. But the few times Papa had shown any signs of waking up or being… being alive, he had only made the smallest of movements, his face had scrunched up in pain and a quiet sound of distress had left his lips. Izuku was getting hysterical with how Papa wasn’t responding and was hurt and that monster was out there and had tried to k-ki-kill kill his Papa.

——

Objectively, Shouta had known what was waiting for him behind the shield. And yet, when the shield finally disappeared, and he was met with the sight of Hizashi lying unconscious on the ground, badly injured and with a hysterical Izuku beside him with his hands and clothes turned red by Hizashi’s blood, the sight still managed to be something he hadn’t been able to quite prepare himself for. The image was bound to be added to his nightmares.”

I went a little wild with the blood… uups

”—— In order to use his hands to climb, Aizawa used his capture gear to wrap the baby to his chest in a makeshift baby carrier.”

My new obsession of learning to draw with Procreate has resulted in this ”fanart” from the very first chapter of Kopio

[everwizard]

Guys what happened to Passerine??

It's just??? Gone???

[boygirlctommy]

this pops up when you search for it??

[sanctuarysusie]

oh my god it got approved to add to someones collection and that person made the collection private, therefore removing passerine

[maxile0-deactivated20220923]

WHAT.

[ethotv-archived]

is this not a known thing anymore? please god if youre a fic writer DO NOT LET RANDOM PEOPLE ADD YOUR FIC TO A COLLECTION!!!!!

if you are a READER who enjoys bookmarking fics, you can put your BOOKMARKS in a collection, which can be privated without hiding any of the original works

[hallsoffandom]

ITS BACK BUT LISTEN TO THE PERSON ABOVE ME

[ineffectualdemon]

I will say you can also revoke permission and remove your fics from collections

[kateawolf13]

A good thing to remember. Check your collections, my friends.

[kateawolf13]

TO CHECK :

Go to your profile, click works, then click "works in collections"

.

.

If a work has be hidden, it will display like this :

.

.

.

Then, if you wanna remove a collecting, go to edit, scroll here, and click the x on the relevant one

[xantissa]

The same, hard same

[kopiothefic]

Yeah this is why I wont no longer accept collection requests...

[kopiothefic]

There's like 4000+ words of three separate scenes on the next chapter already😅 unfortunately there's also a lot of things to write to tie them together too.... I wanna write but honestly my brain feels kind of mush at the moment from work and study:/

Uuh, and btw, I changed my ao3 username!
