I’m not really introducing much here in all honesty- except that this blog was spawned to collect my writing cause a kind tumblr user pointed out that it was a good idea to have a side blog for writing so yea..?

anyway! I write fics about stray kids sometimes, and kinda emo poetry that I never post :)

here’s my ao3 :>

Not sure about anyone else but I re-read all my favourite AO3 comments when I’ve had a rough day so if you’ve ever taken the time to write a deep, funny, or just kind comment, thank-you.

Some of us really need to be doing “Finish That Fanfic We Haven’t Updated in a Year November” 💀

list of favorite things as a fanfic author:

When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them

when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing

when readers give me a background of why they shouldn’t have been reading my writing (usually while at work)

when readers quote my work back to me in comments

the frickin’ real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic

Also those of you who go deep into My My Works page and leave kudos on every single story, even the super old works.

I see you and I adore you.

A spell/mind control that makes all the whumpee's loved ones forget them. Maybe some of them can sense that something is missing, there's this grief they can't put their finger on, but what can they do about it when they don't even understand what/who they've lost?

#oh look it's house of memories minho XD #perhaps that fic does have more potential for angst :D #hmmmmm #it does have a oneshot or two hanging out in my drafts #might publish those one day

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

#yes pls XD #i usually never reblog posts like this #but i would like words XD

"just write the story you want to read!" they said. well, guess what, now i have 14 unfinished drafts because apparently, i want to read 14 different stories at once.

LITERALLY WHENEVER I START WRITING I GET SIDETRACKED BY PAINTING IDEAS LIKE-

WRONG MUSE, PLEASE MOVE OVER

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.
