Oooo woaaaohhh scary introduction post or something... Idk...

I prefer to go by Mari/Marionette. It's the name of my sona, so a good general base. In all actuality, I kinda just refer to myself as whatever OC is clamping down my throat and speaking for me. (It's a long, odd thing to explain. In simple terms "child neglect and being my family's op > fictional world > personality splitting into more digestible parts for little me > they kinda just stuck around"—This isn't DID. I still have control of my own conscience; this is more like behavioural influence.) Said this once, iirc, but the main OC bouncing about in my head on here is Ayu. Call me that if you want, I dont mind. It's pretty easy to tell if a different OC is influencing me, I think. If it's important to a post, I'll probably mention who it is. My more casual posts will tend to be Nyx influenced.

Since my OCs range in gender, I don't really care what pronouns are used for me. She/her is simply in my bio because I'm used to it. They/them is cool too I think.

Anywho, I'm a BIG Lyney fan. Fucking love this guy. I kin him, I love him, I main him, I draw him, I love him, I don't shut up about him, I love him, I would kill to be hi- have I mentioned that I love him? I don't yumeship with Lyney or anything, but I have found out about platonic yumes, so... Idk? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I don't care much for the labelling on my obsession for him. He's a very important character, and even if I dont post about him much, means a lot to me, and has stopped me from... Doing stuff. I'm a bit sensitive around him as a result.

I'm Bisexual/aromantic! .... But also like a walking aromantic stereo type—which I don't mean to be—so I'm a little self-conscience about being doubted. Not important, though! Couldn't write a romance story if my life depended on it.

Fandoms I'm in!!:

Pokemon; Genshin Impact; Not active, but on God I fw the GL/GC/GL2 community (hated child connoisseur)

(It isn't many, but... Younger me really liked Pokémon and didn't think to expand my horiPOKEMIN HOKRKFSZONS OMG sorry)

Hobbies!:

Writing; drawing; uh not sleeping.

Kins!:

- Lyney (Genshin Impact)

- Spinel (Pokémon) (don't flame me)

My favourite Pokémon is Sableye! Oh and I fucking LOVE Spinel, but not as much as Lyney :3

I'm a sucker for anything lemon or raspberry flavoured. This applies to cough drops—probably my favourite food honestly.

IMPORTANT: I have pretty low empathy. Not due to any diagnosis as far as I know (I don't have any). I can be pretty awkward in response to tragic events, and don't care in the conventional way. This'll cause me to come off as rude sometimes. I think I do pretty good as pretending I care in the "normal" way, though. Conflicts with the way I latch onto people.... :') (we don't discuss my emotional instability)

Also I really like phonetics, like "ph" over "f" any day. Feel like.... Uhm...... Super cool hero when I write "Copper Sulphate" instead of "Copper Sulfate." Light tends to be bothersome to me, as well as certain vocal cadences. I can't stand having short nails because it means I can't scrape the back of my hands for stimulation, lmao. Oh and I'm lowk an English nerd.

Ummmmmmm I ran out of things to put here. Okie dokie—done!

Wait no I live I'm the UK too so uhhhh upload time. something about that.

Hehe, I'm impressed you're still conscious. One last chance. Now... are you going to "cooperate"? Aww, cat got your tongue? Then let's play a little game.

[mariana-oconnor]

Types of AO3 Summary

Option 1 - The Excerpt:

The quickest, the easiest! Find a section of your fic that contains the main premise of said fic and also showcases your writing. Copy paste that into the summary box. BOOM! Done.

Best used for any fic, unless it's so short the excerpt would be the whole fic.

Option 2 - The No Frills:

Just a description of the fic. No need for drama. No need to complicate matters. Keep it simple, keep it safe.

Example: "A short character exploration of Blorbo's thoughts after Daisy leaves."

Best used for short fics, poems and fics where the style/format is more important than the plot. Or fics that tie directly into a scene/episode from canon or another fanfic.

Option 3 - The Hook:

Draw the reader's interest by giving them a set up with no conclusion. Introduce the main character(s), introduce the status quo, describe an inciting incident, leave a question in the reader's mind.

Example: "Blorbo is a barista at a coffee shop, struggling to pay their bills, but after handsome rockstar Obrolb walks into their coffee shop they find that they have to decide whether a chance at love is worth the cost of fame."

Best used for mid to long fic where there's a strong premise and follow through. Especially good for AUs. Can be expanded for more complex plots or used multiple times in one summary for multiple characters or subplots.

Option 4 - The Sitcom One-Liner:

"The one in which [over simplified description of one of the main plotlines]" This is essentially 'boil your plot down to the very simplest statement you can, oversimplify if possible. The more bizarre or unhelpful the better.

Example: "The one in which Blorbo learns to like cake".

Best used for fics with at least a little humour in them.

Option 5 - The Rule of Three:

Three is a magic number. Find three key moments in your fic and just list them. That's it. Often ends with 'not necessarily in that order' if used for comic effect. If it's an AU, establish that quickly (i.e. 'Star NHL player Blorbo…').

Example: "Blorbo makes a friend, falls in love, and almost burns to death, not necessarily in that order."

Best used for anything, really. Three is a magic number. The human brain loves things that come in threes.

Option 6 - The Trope Lure:

Why bother describing the plot? We all know AO3 readers are here for the tropes. Similar to The Sitcom One-Liner just using tropes instead of plot. Often followed by the phrase 'that nobody asked for'.

Example: "The Space western/ABO/Mail Order Bride fic that nobody asked for."

Often tacked on to the end of The Hook or The Excerpt as a tl;dr.

Best used for fic that plays its tropes straight with no shame or second guessing.

Option 7 - The Pre-emptive Strike:

(Not recommended) You just wrote this fic, the self doubt is consuming you. You feel the need to apologise profusely for your existence for no apparently reason. You feel cringe, you think the fic is cringe, you want everyone to know that you think the fic is cringe in case they don't like it and judge you for it.

Example: "So I fell in love with this pairing and had to write this. It's weird and terrible. Lol! I suck at summaries! Sorry!"

Best used for no fics ever. I cannot stress this enough.

(Seriously, I am begging you, don't do this. If you're planning to use this option, rethink it and do one of the others. I guarantee you more people will want to read your fic.)

Sometimes added on to any other summary as a strange disclaimer. (srsly. don't.)

Option 8 - The Unapology:

Embrace the mayhem, embrace the deep dark depths of your soul. The opposite of The Pre-emptive Strike. A combination of The No Frills and The Trope Lure that truly gives no fucks.

You have committed crimes and you are proud of them. You know what your USP is and you're going to make sure your target market finds you. Look upon my works, ye readers, and despair!

Example: "There aren't enough tentacle fics in this pairing, so I had to write one myself!"

Best used for fics with controversial/polarising tropes with all relevant details already clearly stated in the tags.

Option 9 - The Interrogation:

What if you wrote a summary entirely in questions? What if your readers had to read the fic to discover the answers? Who knows what will happen if you do this?

Example: "What happens when Blorbo McBlorbo gets his wish and Daisy doesn't make it to the plane on time? What happens when Obrolb finds out? How will this change Daisy and Blorbo's friendship?"

Best used for... I honestly don't know. This style of summary does not vibe with me. Mystery fic maybe? Sorry guys.

Option 10 - The Multipack:

Got a bunch of shorter fics in one work? No way of summarising them all without a wall of text larger than the Great Wall of China? This one is similar to The No Frills in that you're not describing the plots themselves and similar to The Trope Lure in that often broader genres and tropes are mentioned. What links those fics? Are they all in the same fandom? The same pairing? The same challenge? Just slap that right in the summary. A chapter list with 1-2 word trope/pairing summaries can be included or not.

Example: "A collection of Blorbo/Daisy/Obrolb fics based on Tumblr prompts. Chapter 1: Regency AU Chapter 2: Werewolves vs vampires Chapter 3: Ghost!Daisy Chapter 4: Space pirates!"

Best used for (obviously) works that are compilations of fic.

Option ? - The Void:

I said The Excerpt was the quickest and easiest summary to do. I lied, well... I didn't exactly lie. What is quicker and easier than not having a summary at all? After all, that's what the tags are for.

Example:

Best used for... nothing? Write a summary, guys. Please?

June 27th....

[mystag0gue]

I think one day Zarion should bring me to a plain white room with bright lights and start bludgeoning my head against the wall with his crystalline heart, then pour salt into the gaping crater in my head left over.

I deserve it.

[mystag0gue]

Actually it has occurred to me that she wouldnt be able to touch the salt with Dwellers being based on slugs and whatnot...

[mystag0gue]

I love lyney ⋆. ୨୧˚⋆

[mystag0gue]

I asked Aster how his birthday went and he said he found Nyx asleep in front of a cake :'3 ... Aster comes home pretty late from work so it makes sense. I don't think Nyx made the cake though... He's known for making things way too sweet (big sweet tooth), so Ayu probably did.

[stibnitewires]

i could just name them after stars since the entire point of the story is they no longer have a star. the sun is fucking gone.

It gets kinda tiring, constantly seeing general aro experiences called "aroace experiences", as though aroaces were the only ones to experience them or – more likely – as though aroaces were the only aros
