Imagine going to a high school because you liked its uniforms, and wounding up with a found family of volleyball addicts that are all probably gay, a ride-or-die homie, 4 great underclassmen that ultimately aided in leading the volleyball team to becoming the best in your preferecture, and a gentle giant boyfriend that’s also your polar opposite AND lwky hot

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

[romanimp]

#not to brag but im so fckn good at this

[gumy-shark]

nothing scarier than being a fan of a fic and then becoming mutuals with the author. like hi shakespeare. big fan of your fake dating au

AO3 writers! Why do you NOT respond to comments on your work?

Respinding doubles the number of comments, which can look like stat cheating

I don't want to foster a parasocial relationship with my readers

I feel bad: they offer great feedback and all I can come up with is "Thanks"

I don't have time

I never check my AO3 email

Some other reason

I always respond to comments actually!

I never get comments

I don't post fanfic on AO3

Bald etc etc

Yes there's a typo in the first option but I am not redoing the whole thing

[choccy-zefirka-deactivated20251]

Btw, the options are not my opinions!! Just things I have observed in fandoms! Now I am mentally adding "The comment consists of emojis" and "The comment has less characters than the words Thank you" to my collection, based on some of the tags I've gotten on here!

it's pride month, asahi!

[fanastraea]

lol this is so true. and also really cool in a way i could never explain to anyone who isn't Like This

[abodyuntenanted]

the weirdest/coolest part is that it is genuinely not flirting, and barely feels sexualized as a social interaction at all. it's like seeing your friend's favorite pastry on sale and grabbing one for them, but somehow even less of an overture

I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

[dgalerab]

someone brought a cake analysis robot to feed the cake into to determine the exact ingredients and supposedly it can spit out the exact same cake. and if you're like dude. what. then they're like well if it bothers you you should have made more cake. i'm hungry and i deserve cake. and you're like dude we're at a party.

[sainamoonshine]

Three months later you find out that fifty people locked themselves in a room to discuss how much they loved your cake and how they wished you made more. None of them ever told you.

[dear-ao3]

so for the love of god. please tell people you liked their cake and don’t feel embarrassed about it. because then they will make more cake.

the urge to write never leaves but the motivation to do so is a lover lost at war

[poulerslashes]

"I hope the fic you are working on right now finds a reader who will think about it constantly for years"

ma'am that was me with vienna waits for you. read it just after i graduated high school, at the time i felt so stuck like i didn't know what to do with my life and i just empathized with noya so much and felt so seen. and now here i am post uni with a job. i've reread that fic so much over the years ❤️❤️❤️

I can’t believe tumblr didn’t alert me to this lovely message. Thank you anon 🩷🩷 I’ve said so many times how personal and special that story was to me, and it always makes my whole week when I hear that it meant something to someone else as well. Thank you!

[userautumn]

the biggest secret that Big Fanfic doesn't want you to know is that the best way to find fics you'll enjoy is to scroll through the bookmarks of a fic written by an author you already like. people gravitate toward fics written in similar styles, etc that they enjoy. so if someone's read your favorite author, chances are they've read fics that are similar to those written by your favorite author. if i get killed by Big Wattpad we'll know why
