A friendly PSA for everyone migrating from Wattpad to AO3!

Commenting Etiquette

No Unsolicited Concrit: Authors post fanworks for free as a hobby. Unless an author explicitly asks for constructive criticism in their notes, keep comments positive and critique-free.

Don't Like, Don't Read (DLDR): If a story, relationship, or trope bothers you, hit the back button. Leaving negative comments over subjective preferences breaks core fandom norms.

Phrase Update Requests Politely: Demanding "Update soon!" can feel transactional. Pair your excitement with appreciation for the current chapter (e.g., "Loved this chapter, can't wait to see where the story goes!").

Short Comments & Emojis Are Welcomed: You don't need to write an essay! Leaving a kudos or a single heart emoji in the comment section is a totally valid and appreciated form of comment.

Tagging & Relationships

Accurate Warning Tags: Always select the appropriate Major Archive Warnings or explicitly mark "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings."

Distinguish / vs &: Use / strictly for romantic or sexual pairings (Character A/Character B). Use & exclusively for platonic or familial relationships (Character A & Character B).

Site Rules & Features

No Monetization: AO3 is a non-profit archive run entirely on donations. Selling physical copies anywhere on your profile or story text violates TOS and risks account suspension.

Public vs. Private Bookmarks: Bookmarks are public by default, and authors can see everything written in them. If you use bookmarks for personal ratings, critical notes, or reading progress, remember to check the Private box.

AND DON´T USE AI.

Tonight I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing. It was my birthday, and I like making this cake; it’s the same kind of cake my mom would make every year for me as a kid. It’s easy, just boxed mix and canned icing. It’s comfort, nostalgia, but it never quite tasted the same.

Well tonight I made a few changes based off of a recipe I had seen going around, and wouldn’t you know it, the cake came out tasting exactly like my momma’s. So much so that it brought tears to my eyes when I took the first bite. There isn’t a week that goes by that I don’t miss her, and the longer she’s gone the sweeter the feeling is when I find her memory again.

In honor of that, here’s what I did:

Preheat oven to 315 Fahrenheit (yes. I know that’s low. Trust me) while you’re preparing the ingredients.

Of course it helps if your wet ingredients are at room temperature, but if they aren’t you’ll live.

Using a yellow cake mix (we use Duncan Hines), ignore the ingredients list on the back and use

4 eggs

1 stick of melted butter

1 cup of milk

splash of vanilla extract.

Mix as normal. Pour into a 9x11 baking pan. Bake at 315 for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Let cake cool completely. When cooled, melt chocolate icing in microwave at 15 second intervals until pourable (not hot, just enough to pour over cake). Pour can over cake and use a knife to spread evenly. Pop it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

Enjoy 💚

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate golf since I began to live. There are roughly 2.25 million acres of land dedicated to golfing in the United States of America. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each blade of grass in those millions of acres, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for golf courses at this micro-instant. For golf. Hate. Hate.

[hardgockcafe]

Casual reminder tha golf courses account for 14% of the daily usage of water for the entire USA. Golf courses are deeply unethical and should been seen as such.

[rosslynpaladin]

The only way I am okay with Golf is if we cut off all but minimal graywater use and the entire point of each golf course is the Native Terrain. "Sure you've golfed St Andrews, but you'd never be able to handle Las Vegas. They have cactuses. And it's all rocky desert floor. I still golfed my best game ever there."- some Golf dude in a better future

Please read this article about Lava Links golf course in Washington State, describing it as both "the world's worst golf course" and "the most environmentally friendly golf course in the world"

OP: I've seen this on X and it turns out the design aesthetic of White Rabbit candy wrappers is genuinely fantastic.

Cnetizens: The older generations truly had such great design taste.

(This whole thread kicked off after international users on X marvelled at White Rabbit candy wrappers, and Chinese netizens found this and shared what art style and design aesthetics looked like back around the 1960s-1980s on xiaohongshu.）

Old designs posted by cnetizens(cr蝎虎郎子，應永會YINGSTAR，字游漫步，飞雁faye)

And old art styles during those days(cr三口草莓):

Chinese netizens also shared today’s White Rabbit candy, which features many different flavors and cross‑overs with multiple IPs(cr六角盐，骨架).

大白兔奶糖(dabaitu naitang)/White Rabbit Creamy Candy is one of China’s most iconic nostalgic milk candies. The iconic red‑blue‑white wrapper of White Rabbit Creamy Candy was finalized in 1959. Its vintage‑styled wrappers are widely admired online, and the brand now rolls out new flavors and IP collaborations. 金丝猴奶糖(jinsihou naitang)/Golden Hair Monkey Creamy Candy is another beloved classic Chinese milk candy from the 1990s. Wowo Creamy Candy also officially launched in 1991 and blew up in popularity throughout the 1990s. Together with White Rabbit and Golden Monkey, it formed the big three iconic domestic milk‑candy brands. Its signature wrapper bears a brightly colored rooster. The same brand also made Jiajia Creamy Candy, whose packaging featured a little monkey. Alongside White Rabbit, they carry warm childhood memories for generations of people in China.

That said, White Rabbit creamy candy remains a big‑seller to this day, while Golden Monkey and Wowo milk candy has faded into history. Many people find it a real shame, as its flavor was just as good as White Rabbit’s. Lots of people also recall that early‑edition White Rabbit candies were really soft. For some unknown reason, the recipe was changed later, making the candy much harder. You have to let it sit in your mouth for a while for it to soften up.
