Hey all, I wanted to let folks know that I'm removing Love and Other Historical Accidents from AO3 next Wednesday, October 29th. I remain awed and humbled by the extraordinary love it's received. For those sad to see them go, Grix offers you a hot drink and a comforting grumble. Cousin Martin winks at you, because I let him have a brandy. XX

D/Hr Advent 2025

D/Hr Advent began in 2011 on Livejournal as a small celebration of the Draco/Hermione ship and over the years it has become a tradition beloved by thousands of fans across multiple platforms. I'm sure the original founders never expected it to become such a massive phenomenon, and watching it grow has been a special joy for me.

That means it's a little bittersweet to announce that this will be the fifteenth year of the Advent fest, and it will be the last. Fifteen years is a true milestone, and the right moment to close this chapter. I'm grateful to every fan who has been part of this. Writers, artists, reccers, and commenters - you've all made this fest a marvelous experience.

I've looked forward to this every year, and while I'll miss it in the future, it has filled me with such delight that I'll never forget it. Thank you for all the laughs and tears, for your participation and support, and for making every December feel so magical. It's been a treasure.

<3 Musyc

Nominations will open on Friday, Oct 10 and will close Friday, Oct 17 at 11:59PM Eastern (03:59 UTC Oct 18).

There are only 2 rules when it comes to writing fanfics:

Write whatever you want.

Have fun doing it.

That’s literally it. There is no “show and don’t tell”. There is no “make it realistic”. There is no “fit in with the trends”. And of course, there is no “write as fast as possible to keep up engagement and please others”.

No.

Most fanfiction writers are not professional writers. This isn’t a job, we’re literally writing for shits and giggles. We don’t have a team of editors behind us to make our story perfect. Fanfiction isn’t about creating the most perfect plot with the most perfect prose and the most perfect pacing.

Fanfiction writing is for you first. To make your heart happy. Other people just get the benefit to also enjoy it if they wish.

That’s it.

Write whatever makes you happy, with whatever writing style you want, whenever you want.

For the love of all that you enjoy: DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION.

Again, but louder:

DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION

It’s getting more and more common. I’ve seen three posts about it in the last 24 hours - patreons where you’ll get “exclusive” fanfiction stories if you’re a subscriber.

Don’t.

Don’t do it.

It’s annoying, but mostly it’s fucking dangerous.

The whole fanfiction community prosper on someone else’s turf under “fair use” laws. In simple terms: we can play with other people’s creations for as long as it’s done for our own amusement, and that of our followers.

Once any kind of financial benefits are made, it becomes another abuse of someone else’s rights.

And look, I get it. It sucks, especially seeing the artists take commissions while the authors get nothing, and it takes hours and hours of our time, and I understand people are looking for a side hustle to make ends meet in this monstrosity of a capitalist society, but if we don’t stop it from happening, the rights owners will stop it.

And they’ll stop it for everyone.

It’s not worth it. Don’t do it.

ai has no fucking place in fandom. none whatsoever. even if you’re “just using it for feedback” or “just using it for prompts” or “just using it to help with writer’s block.” and if you’re using it for research? why on god’s green earth would you use the Lying Machine to do research???

all art, whether written work, paintings, drawings, anything, is a fundamentally human creation, and by using ai to create “art,” you are stripping the humanity from something inherently, intrinsically human

fanfiction and fanart and any kind of fan creation are borne out of a love of the original media and a passion for creation. there is no reason or need to supplement that passion and creation with gibberish from the Plagiarizing Machine

nobody expects perfection. it is the imperfections that make it beautiful, that make it raw and rich with humanity. this is a community that exists because of a shared love for something.it is built upon our own creations. ai generated content threatens its very foundations

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

[toolsofmyenemy]

The fact that there are people in this fandom who are genuinely baffled by the idea of a couple not being in love at the start of their book and that part of their story will be them falling in love, is just so strange to me.

Ugh, idk, maybe I want to see Elain have a beautiful love story with a guy who cares about her happiness and wellbeing and not her slinking around in dark corners with a guy she can barely hold a meaningful conversation with.
