SaFics With 0 Comments

A project inspired by No More 0 Comments focused specifically on getting every F/F fic on AO3 a comment. Avatar courtesy of no more zero comments RPF edition

Introduction

Hello! This is a project run by @mulder-maven inspired by @nomorezerocomments. We will be working to reduce the number of F/F fics on ao3 with no comments.

Here is the Google Sheet.

Here is the Submission Form

Sapphic Fics with 0 Comments

Send in a link to a sapphic fic with 0 comments. It can be the main ship or the background ship. Only rules are no AI and no Harry Potter.

Let me know when you’ve commented with this form:

SaFic Completion Form

SaFic Completion Form

Rules: NO HARRY POTTER AND NO AI. Fics need to be a week old.

Just like nomorezerocomments! Otherwise, submit whatever. Fandoms will be capped at 100 submissions per fandom on the sheet and the overall spreadsheet will be capped at 1000!

I didn't realize how many of my fics didn't have comments until I went through to add them to the collection :o (most are femslash feb oneshots so like expected but i had a couple proper full fics too)

Feel free to add them to my pinned ao3 collection or @safics-with-0-comments so they end up on a spreadsheet or both. Let's get you those comments

[safics-with-0-comments]

Yes you can send them either place :)

Genuine question: are we allowed to send in our own fanfics? :o

YES PLEASE DO! The one request is if they are all one fandom only send 20 to start. No HP and no AI :)

Spreadsheet is updated. See you guys on Wednesday!

[commvember]

Welcome to Commvember!

October sure is a busy month for writers and readers alike, isn't it? With so many prompt events happening concurrently, there's never any shortage of new and wonderful works to create and enjoy.

It also presents a problem: Due to the oversaturation of works in the same general themes, some wonderful writing can slip through the cracks. These hidden gems often get few to no comments or reblogs, especially if they aren't picked up by the event archives.

That's where Commvember comes in! During the month of November, this blog will promote both fan works and original fiction written as fills for various promptober events that are lacking in the love they deserve.

What works fit this criteria:

Any written work* that was created as a promptober event fill which has fewer than 3 comment THREADS on AO3 and/or fewer than 10 Tumblr reblogs at the time of submission fits the criteria. (*Some exclusions apply, keep reading)

How do I submit works?

Submission guidelines TBA when it comes closer to time to officially launch the event. There will also be an A03 collection that will open on November 1st.

Are there any types of works I can't submit?

No fan works of any IP owned by Joanne Rowling, Neil Gaiman, or Scott Cawthon will be promoted on this blog or included in the AO3 collection. This is non-negotiable. If you are in such a fandom, feel free to use this blog's format to host your own comment drive in your fandom. In addition, no works known to be AI-generated in full or in part will be promoted or collected. Other than that, anything goes! Any trope, ship, kink, etc is allowed as long as it's properly tagged. Yes, even that one. Those, too. If it's not AI or one of the banned fandoms, it's allowed.

Anything else we should know?

More details will be provided as November draws closer. For now, enjoy your promptobers and meet back here for the after-party starting November 1st.

I will be logging on tomorrow to update the sheet so please send me lots of submissions to work on.

[ao3statss]

There are now 1.5 million f/f fics on ao3

[safics-with-0-comments]

And 338k have no comments. 🥺Submission forms are empty! You know what to do.

[safics-with-0-comments]

There is one easy trick to get more kudos and thoughtful comments and it’s to format your fic according to contemporary practices on AO3.

AKA hit the enter space one extra time between paragraphs. Not twice. Once. You want one entirely blank line between paragraphs, but only one. It sounds petty, but that consistent formatting does cause people to read your fic when they may get overwhelmed or turned off by other formatting. It’s the convention and it makes things more readable, especially on mobile.

[safics-with-0-comments]

Forms are empty and I will be back on Wednesday!

[safics-with-0-comments]

We got 16 comments since Friday! Whoooo!

[safics-with-0-comments]

Like the main blog, I will now be imposing a 20 per fandom limit on the sheet. The Dangan Ronpa fandom and the Love Live! fandom are over the limit. I will not be adding more fics from those fandoms until some have been read and removed!
