In light of Wattpad being struck with even tighter censorship rules, I think we all need to make a concentrated effort to be even freakier on AO3
embarrassed
'fanfic doesn't need to be perfect' wrong. the ones i'm writing do
Not sure about anyone else, but I re-read all my favourite AO3 comments when I’ve had a rough day, so if you’ve ever taken the time to write a deep, funny, or just kind comment, thank-you.
the unimaginable power of saying "huh, guess that's not for me" and moving on with your life
my publisher: Good morning! Huh did you advertise for the pre-sale yesterday? Because we launched twelve hours ago and we already made sales!
me: yeah, i posted on tumblr
publisher: .........tumblr?
me: that's where the gays are.

update
publisher: And what is your marketing strategy on... tumblr?
me: idk, i shitpost at 2am?
publisher: .....and it works?
me: depends on what the gays find funny at that point in time.
publisher: Could I have a link to your tumblr?
me: .......absolutely not.
(link to Mrs. Victoria buys a brothel, a sapphic western where 50 year old women kiss and murder)
update!
publisher: I've been looking into tumblr, have you thought of using Blaze to promote your book?
me: NO
publisher: But it seems like an efficient way to get this in front of more eyes-
me: people on tumblr hate Blaze.
publisher: There is no algorithm and you can't pay to promote a post? I don't understand how anyone advertises anything on tumblr.
me: That's the best part. They don't. They can't.
(trying to make him understand that we do not control the attention. We just have to show something shiny and gay enough and if people are interested, they'll reblog.)

KNH DubCon Week!
dubcon week was a joke when i first brought it up and while it became less and less of a joke i really did not think there was any world in which it went this well. i really thought that like maybe three or four other people would throw something into the collection, and that it might make a couple more think more clearly about those lines of consent that they draw in their fics, and instead during the event 19 fics were posted to the collection totally 80k words across them and that is truly like mind boggling and nothing that i would have guessed or imagined.
i have been asked how the fic week went by friends outside of this fandom and how it feels to have run such successful event and every time i don't know how to respond because i really did not expect anything at all to come from this, and instead it got this turn out that kind of makes me feel light and fluttery with this idea of "oh, people liked this," and that's really something. Someone replied to that sentiment when i shared it with, "I think a lot of credit goes to you, as a well loved author on tumblr and discord servers! You should be so so proud" and that sentiment was agreed with in a way that really only furthered that fluffy feeling that people liked this event and the fics that people posted for it, and that any amount of that was at all to do with my running it.
i am almost always filled with love for this fandom and this community but that is really something else entirely.
ANYWAYS!
a spotlight on some of my favourite fics for the collection (i loved all of these and picking favourites was hard but i wanted to spotlight a few in this post so i had to pick)
THE EMPEROR'S GIFT - @marrys-dream-world's alt on the ending of LN1, and Maomao being purchased for Jinshi to spend a night with as a gift and the way that ties in with how Yang see showing love to those around him and his ideas of how Jinshi should do the same, and the way that butts heads with how Jinshi doesn't want to take Maomao's autonomy and options.
DYING FOR IT - areyouabadwolf2 is one of my favourite jinmao fic writers and their version of a full on fuck or die was really great to read! we have a lot of aphrodisiac fics but very few true fuck or die and the way they were able to mix it with her pursuit of jade obsession was delicious but i also adore any fic in which Maomao seeks out Jinshi on her own to deal with a situation like this!
THE WIDTH OF A DOOR - YoWaimoPens is a wonderful jinmao author and i love, truly adore, this fic as one of the few that didn't have any smut, because the smut is was not required for this and the way that this fic was Jinshi and Maomao having that very necessary conversation about consent in a rewrite of the LN13 night visit was so so wonderful to read.
these are the fics i find myself going back and rereading and want to give a little extra love to, but believe me when i say i love each and every fic that people submitted and wrote for this event and if you are reading this and you haven't read anything from the collection yet i really think you should! the amount of care that was given to the consent and lack their of at various points in the timeline of the series and to ships other than just jinmao was so very wonderful and i really hope that this is an event that carries on and has people thinking about the way that dubcon applies to knh ships throughout all these many ways and i really hope that i can run a similar event again in future.
thank you to everyone that read any of the dubcon weeks and thank you to everyone that wrote for this collection <3

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.
There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.
The three keys to the promised land are “Block, Unfollow, and Do Not Engage”
I have been in Fandom spaces for 20 years. It is LOVELY once you become the bog witch that no longer gives a fuck.
Proud fandom bog witch who's fucks have runneth dry, proudly maneuvering round meaningless discourse like...
"who do you self insert as when you read?"
This is me when I read:
i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.
