[spiralsonpaper]

Hi! I'm Sky. If you're here from tumblr, nice to meet ya! if you're here from ao3, thanks for checking this out!

Currently... hoo boy. i've got two SIOC fics in the making. it's super fun but also slowly melting my mind.

Swift Retribution:

An original one piece story set in the south blue, because i wanted to write... well, an original story. got tired of the canon plot after like a hundred SIs that mostly followed the same beats, and went, why not?

it may not be my most popular fic but if I'm honest it's my favorite.

Eye of The Storm: or, as i like to call it, ETS.

^one of the traditional one piece SIs. the MC has the calm-calm fruit, and i have been told it's really funny, so...

i also make fanart sometimes

my tags: : #fanart #character thoughts #ETS #SW

getting interested in your own story is always goofy because guess what has to happen for you to get more content, you silly, silly bitch

[spiralsonpaper]

by the gods this cannot be happening

[spiralsonpaper]

in other fucking news i finally sorted out the timeline of this chapter so i just have to write the scenes, now that i know what order they go in

[spiralsonpaper]

how awful is it that sometimes you really do just have to power through until you get back into the swing of writing. Like i used to wait until lightning hit me and inspiration got beamed into my brain but now im doing like 300 words a day minimum out of sheer practice at writing and like ugghhh. im dragging my brain through this muck and sometimes it's kinda bad but sometimes it's also good, which should be illegal because i didn't enjoy it even.

HOW IS EYE OF THE STORM ON THE FIFTH PAGE OF THE ONE PIECE SELF I SERT TAG BY KUDOS

INSANE. IT'S IN THE TOP HUNDRED???

[fairycosmos]

a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me

[fairycosmos]

like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over

WAIT IT’S CALLED A THROW PILLOW

[holorifle]

here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

here’s some examples:

Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.

“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.

Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.

[kyra45]

To summarize it overall:

App acts like a browser but paywalls offline reading while reviews state it’s full of intrusive ads and lacks basic functionality such as commenting. Do not use this app. Use the ao3 website. The app uses Gen-AI content for imagery on categories and is essentially forcing people to pay if they want to read your fics offline.

By the way you don’t have to pay anything to read fics offline. You can do it for free using easily accessible resources that don’t cost anything.

You do not need to pay $1 every week, $2 every month, or even $18 a year. It can be done free! By anyone!

You can also turn ao3 into an app itself by adding it to your Home Screen. You don’t need to download shady apps.

[adulthumanproblem-deactivated20]

The way to read fics offline is by downloading them onto your device. AO3 lets you do this, in multiple file formats, right at the top of the page:

If you don't have a PDF reader on your phone, there are any free ones (I personally like ReadEra). Or you download it as HTML.

AO3 doesn't have an app, and doesn't need an app. Don't fall for this. There's no telling what they'll do with your login data.

AO3 BADGES, GET YOUR A03 BADGES HERE

made by a human, no ai, featuring silly gradients and arbitrary color choices.

EDIT: i added the tutorial for how to add the individual badges under the cut :)

Use this code:

<img src="INSERT_LINK_HERE">

To get the link - right click and click "copy image address" on desktop OR if you're on moblie press+hold the badge you want, open it in your preferred browser, then press+hold your badge, click "open image in new tab" then copy the url that it takes you to! To make your badge centered - <center><img src="insert_link"></center> To change the size of your badge <img src="insert_link"> width=##%> (change ## to the percent of the screen you want the badge to take, 20% is typically a decent size :))

we're gonna be doing 20k again fuck my baka life

one of my favorite things is writing a character saying 'oh i'm sure it'll be fine' and then a hard cut to things not being fine. slowly i will pavlov my readers into dreading every single time a character utters that sentiment, after which i will put someone saying it right before the big bad tragedy that happened in canon.

and you know what? nothing will go wrong then
