P. Sawyer is my hero... also, I watch too much tv @queenangelabassetofwakanda - Tumblr Blog

I'm ready to give my thoughts now

I was sad and hurt when Ripley died but I'm not angry because Vic and Rip are perfect. Their story is so beautiful. Whoever wrote this episode, wow. Also well done to Barrett and Brett for making it so believable. I couldn't stop crying throughout but that last scene had me smiling through the tears. I won't continue to watch the show but I am grateful for Vicley. It was great while it lasted. Bye Station 19.

I wish that ao3 had an option to filter warnings (and tbh certain authors) out like I will never ever want to read it and just seeing it puts me off so much that often I end up closing my browser because that content upsets me so much lmao

There is a way to do this but I can’t recall how to do it. it’s something you type into the box for “other filters” or something, I don’t remember. who knows?? It’s not a great option, and I don’t know if you can sort out authors that way, but it’s better than nothing if someone can reblog this with how to do it!

Alrighty friends! It takes some specificity, but you can do this. Let me show you how!

So I started with going to the Sherlock (TV) section of Ao3. On the right we find this lovely section! ((I know I’m going over things you already probably know, but I figure this post may go to new Ao3 users, so bear with me.))

Underneath this, I chose sort by Kudos, because that’s a quick way to find most popular fics, for the sake of this demonstration.

With those filters on, we end up with this being our first two results:

As you can see, we have Nature and Nurture by earlgreytea68, and The Internet Is Not Just For Porn by cyerus. So what if I am utterly sick of seeing earlgreytea68 on my list? Let’s pretend I’ve read all their fics, or that I just don’t like her, or whatever. I want this author out. I go to this section on the right:

In “Search within results” I type earlgreytea68 into the bar, with a minus sign in front. This gives me the following page, upon hitting the sort and filter button:

There goes earlgreytea68! But now I’ve decided that Crack is just not my thing, I’m sick of that, too, for heaven’s sake, I want something reasonable in my gay slash fanfiction about detectives that solve crimes about glowing dogs and irish megalomaniacs. Heaven forbid this get ridiculous.

Well, then I add this to my search:

Which gets rid of everything with that tag. My results are now:

Performance in a Leading Role is now my first result!

You can do this as many times as you want; the biggest problem I have is trying to filter out multi-worded tags. For example, “Secret Relationship” is hard to filter. Better to go with authors you dislike or with words like “DubCon”.

I hope this helps! Also remember that googling site:archiveofourown.org and then adding search terms will mean google searches Ao3 for you, and sometimes that works far better.

Good luck!

An excellent in-depth guide! Thank you!!

An excellent guide to filtering on AO3!

You can filter out phrases by enclosing them in quotes. For example, if ABO and Hydra Trash Party are not your things, try:

-“alpha/beta/omega dynamics” -”hydra trash party”

possibly-an-obsession

I have more advice!

Say, you’re in your random fandom- I went with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since I’ve been reading Iron Man stuff recently. Tony Stark is awesome.

But anyway, you’re on the page, and you see that there are 174,774 works! That is way too many for a casual afternoon’s browsing.

And you see that the first one is Peter Parker/Tony Stark and that is not your jam. It doesn’t work for you, or it squicks you, whatever. Wouldn’t life be easier if you could browse without seeing that pairing (or whatever pairing you don’t like)? You can!

First, click on that pairing tag(You may want to open this in another tab, actually.):

and it’ll take you to the page for that pairing tag. Click this button:

and then look at the address bar! The actual page is unimportant. Copy the numbers located here:

and go back to the original search page! Down on the side, in the same place you can get rid of other tags, type -relationship_ids:”the number you just copied”

Then hit ‘sort and filter’ annnd… magic!

The fics with that pairing are gone! You can also do multiple pairings, get rid of any tags you don’t like, and sort it by date or length or kudos, or whatever.

Enjoy.

Just a one time thing

It was just sex, she tells herself. Why would she regret it? Except now every time she catches him staring at her he doesn’t even have the decency to look away. “You won’t let me touch you,” he’d said, “all I can do is look.”

“This is a one time thing,” she had told him. She had been clear. Even repeated it just to be sure he understood. That they were just using each other’s bodies. Just working out all that pent up emotion.

She hadn’t expected to feel so keenly the loss of Asgard. The home she had tried so hard to forget was now a phantom limb. And so she had needed an outlet for that pain. That unexpected grief. It seemed only fitting that it would be the king of Asgard with whom she exorcised those demons. So they had fallen into bed together. Put all that sexual tension to good use. “Just a one time thing,” she had reminded him afterwards as he pulled her into him and laid his head on her chest. She hadn’t examined too closely why she didn’t resist. Had just stroked the close-cropped hair at his temple until they both drifted off.

Which is how she finds herself in this predicament. Now that she’s had him she wants more. Wants to let in the feelings she tries to ignore. But it was just a one time thing. She has loved and lost before. The risk of losing again is too much to bear.

Irrational fears you might get from watching greys anatomy

1. Runny rose? Don't worry you don't have the flu. It's just brain matter leaking through your nostrils 2. Incessant cough? It's not bronchitis. You inhaled a germinating seed and a tree is growing in one of your lungs. 3. Warts! Giant tree bark looking things that must be sawed off ... and a spider casually crawls out.
