[shibayamasou]

So this is my (late and very bad... sorry) @haikyuusecretsanta gift for @blushinggray. I decided to sorta go with the haters to lovers prompt (where matsuhana are sick of their shit). 

Happy holidays!

Here’s another @haikyuusecretsanta gift for @shibayamasou

Tagged by @tendous-satoris! Thank you!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

My old user, shibayamasou is a reference to my wonderful and rare otp! My new one (with content coming soon!), yourlocalplantdad is kinda self-explanatory. 

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

It’s that awful nekoma chatfic that I only keep up because people seem to like it?

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

I love them.

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

Any commenters are my favourite commenters tbh

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again

Yes, I have many! But I’d say that my top ones are:

the nearness of you (rarepairenabler)

any other way (oh_god_bees)

Rules (conesofdunshire)

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

I have 72 bookmarked!

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

I write fantasy AUs the most, but I don’t post any of them... I write a looot of fluff though.

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

49 subscriptions, 86 bookmarks. 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

Not really

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Actually being able to post my works...

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

definitely rarepairs

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

i think 25 ish? i’ve  deleted A LOT though.

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

currently, about 50

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I write them all down and find scraps of paper lying around 2 years later.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

no, but i’d really love to!

16. How did you discover AO3?

a friend recommended it to me

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

absolutely not. 

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

nope

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

no, not really. When i started it was just a thing my friends and i did as a hobby.

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

You can’t write something if you never get started!

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

It’s a bit of both. I come up with a backbone and fill in the rest as i go.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

I haven’t! Shockingly...

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

I can’t write smut to save my life. I’ve tried, but it’s forced and weird.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

I’m working on about four right now because I’m an idiot, but the one i’m closest to posting is a modern fantasy AU!

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

I have so many things that just pop into my head so i do everything simultaneously.

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

I used to but then the depression kicked in.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

I really hope so.

28. What is your favourite story that you’ve written?

we are number one but it’s the worst fanfic you’ve ever read. seriously. it took me maybe an hour to write but it’s pure self-expression. 

29. What is your least favourite story that you’ve written?

*THE NEKOMA CHATFIC* it’s just crude and stupid and not funny! but people like it and that was my sense of humour back then.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

I don’t know. Probably not far from where I am now, just curled up in a bed in a slightly different location. That’s if we’re not all destroyed by our foolishness first.

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Coming up with an idea

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Conveying it.

33. Why do you write?

I’ve always loved reading and I’ve always wanted to create something that’ll make a change. I know that it won’t happen, but I enjoy writing and not being in the real world.

I tag uhh... anyone who wants to do this! I have no friends.

[serves-up]

I think all content creators can relate to this.

In my opinion, I don’t think followers really understand how much your requests/likes/reblogs/etc. and random asks mean to me. It’s just so refreshing and nice to know that people enjoy what I’m doing and support me.

People that go the extra mile and send an ask or message letting me know they liked my stuff honestly makes my day. I love reading tags and stuff…it’s honestly so cute….

And people who ask about how I’m doing or send me random questions or cute asks….I just want you guys to know it honestly makes my day. I just love all the interaction and such. It makes running a blog so much more enjoyable.

And Fanart/Fanwork? Honestly that’s one of the greatest things to receive. To everyone that draws or writes, please don’t feel too insecure to send it end! No one is going to criticize you over quality. It’s so sweet that you even thought about making something…I will always appreciate it no matter what, and I’m sure all other content creators feel the same.

So, in conclusion, don’t be afraid to talk to your favorite blogs and show them some love, guys! We always appreciate it! ☺️

Come love me on my new tumblr pls^^

[lesbiansitara-moved-deactivated]

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

[darcylindbergh]

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!

[fordeductions-blog]

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!

[darcylindbergh]

An excellent in-depth guide! Thank you!!

[eyesofmedusa]

omg changed my whole ao3 rarepair game

[stucky-ficrecs]

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.

I’d just like to add that these sorts of search modifiers ALSO WORK IN GOOGLE AND MOST RESEARCH DATABASES. The more you know.

[a-trex]

reblog this and i’ll ask you the first question that comes to mind when i go to your blog :D

[a-trex]

still doing this, and have done it for everyone so far!

[a-trex]

it’s November 2017, I originally made this in May 2013. I sent over 15,000 asks with this post. Many blogs were deactivated, didn’t have asks enabled, didn’t understand an ask limit exists, were confused when I finally got to them months later, or would reply upset at me.

REGARDLESS, I have decided to continue on with this. I don’t know if it’s a good decision but… I’ll give it a shot. So go for it. I’ll send some more asks.
