Fanfiction Blog

This is where I slap all of my fanfics! Requests: Closed! Note: Not all of my fics are posted on ao3! Look for "#not on ao3" on this blog! AO3

[starlightelixir]

✉️ Requests: Closed!*

📓 About: Hi! You can call me by username or Ainsley; I'm 29, and I use it/its pronouns (they/them are fine, just it/its are preferred). This is, as you can see, my writing blog!

AO3 | My fanfics | Not on AO3

Personal Ramblings | Writing Refs | Writing Prompts

📓 I'm a massive fan of parallel worlds/universes/alternate timelines kind of intersecting and being "crossed" with each other, as well as timeloops. I'm obsessed with timeloops. I'm also a big fan of werewolves, death games, and urban fantasy settings.

🦋 You can also find me on Bluesky!

🖊️ I use a mix of Ohwrite, LibreOffice, and Ellipsus to write.

🗒️ Note: My username was starlightelixir, then sociallyawkwardseal/s, and now I've put it back at starlightelixir! I was just a bit too attached to this username.

✅ For some odd reason, tumblr isn't letting me add a link to my divider image--it was this set by saradika-graphics.

*"Closed" meaning apparently I'm taking SetsuYuri fanfics. What have they done to me.

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 5 days 12 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

as a writer you will have a specific deck of vocab words you like using a lot and when you read other peoples' work you will see a very clear spread of different vocab words on their end. this is why you need to read, to collect other writers' words like it's a card game

[the-real-nikki19]

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

[rose-of-pollux]

Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

[talesfromaurea]

I'd much rather see one thousand "graphic design is my passion" canva book covers and scribbly ms paint covers and poorly scanned colored pencil covers than a single AI generated book cover

[writingdose]

things I won’t let ai take away from human writers

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

speculations, accusations and ai witch hunt harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.

[alivingtypo]

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

[rad-roche]

writing is a fantastic hobby but the kicker is it's a lot harder to show your friends as it's progressing. with a sketch i can show someone and they'll be like oh that's an apple. you can't do that with words until you get a lot of them down. so i'll just be like damn fuckin. uhh. check this out

that's right. and that's just one of the several words i know

for disability pride month I’d like to give a special shoutout to the word ow

[starlightelixir]

... We are ignoring that a few of the last fics I'm posting for the May Drabble Challenge have been posted tonight, and that I'm still missing a couple.

[phleb0tomist]

he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.

the authors barely disguised longing for acceptance

[chronicallydragons]

Anyone else with chronic pain ever get really absorbed in a project and dissociate from your body while you're working but then you finish and you come back to your body and you're just like AAAAAAAHHH! WHAT'S WRONG?? oh yeah. The horrors. Never mind
