#LATER TAG

I've seen way too many people struggle with this, sit the fuck down while I teach you how to find good fic on ao3

my criteria are:

good writing. that's my priority. the best fic with bad writing is near unreadable for me because I get headaches.

+ if it has favourite my kinks/tropes/pairings

if you're the same, or similar, here's how you work ao3 to your advantage

start with a rec list from tumblr. it may take a while but you can usually tell from the summary of a fic whether the writing is good. read the fic. did you like it? create a rating scale.

for me, 4s and 5s go in my bookmarks. 2s and 3s get kudos. 1 gets a click out. bye.

I'm a terrible person and I only comment if I have something to say. I have social anxiety (before you come screaming at me to always comment). and lemme tell you that no matter what anyone says/tries to guilt you into, you only have to comment as often as you have the energy to. on the other have I leave kudos on almost every fic I read through to the end.

okay now you've read one (1) fic. scroll to the top (leave a kudo). check the tags. does anything there interest you?

option 1- it does, go click on it. chances are it's a filtered tag. so just below the headline telling you # fics in [tag], you have four options. click on filters. let's say you're searching for f/f fics in the alternate universe: soulmates tag, and you only want to read complete fics in the overwatch fandom. there's a little box down that says complete only. check it. note go look for overwatch under >fandoms. if it isn't there, type it into additional tags. it will search within fandom automatically. now here's the fun part. at the top it says sort by. the default option is date updated, but if you sort by kudos, comments, or bookmarks, then you get the best fics at the top.

don't sort by hits–that tends to put the longest fics at the top. longer fics on ao3 always have more hits.

fucking enjoy yourself. you've hit a goldmine of good fic.

you can get more specific in additional tags: type in 'angst', 'fluff', 'enemies to lovers'–go wild.

option 2- nothing on the tags catches your fancy, but you like the author/their writing/the tropes/the way they interpret your faves. whatever. click on the author's name. fantastic! you've accessed their dashboard. the front page shows you their fandoms, their 3 latest fics, series, and bookmarks. look for fics in your fandom. you'll get lucky quite a bit–a lot your favourite authors might turn out to be in your other fandoms. go crazy loving on their work.

OR go to your favourite author's bookmarks. here you'll find your faves' faves, and that's a great feeling. great authors have great taste. you can also filter their bookmarks to search for stuff within your fandom/with your favourite trope.

I have given you all my secrets. go forth and live a blessed life.

give back to your community. make rec lists. talk up your favourite authors and their fics on your blog or to your friends. if you're shy about commenting, that's okay. authors are not going to hate your guts because you felt too depressed to comment that day. leave kudos liberally–they cost you nothing and they may make your favourite author's day. leave kudos even on stuff that wasn't that good. it's okay.

if you're afraid of being judged for your weird kinks or smth like that–it's okay. lots of people out there are into the same niche stuff you are. if nobody is writing what you want, write it yourself. I guarantee that someone will love you for it.

you can always make your bookmarks private. you can always turn a google doc into a private rec list that you only give out to some people. it's okay.

don't be mean. you are going to come across strange and disturbing stuff. click out. use the back button liberally. you are not obliged to read something to the end if it doesn't interest you. you are not obliged to read things that make you uncomfortable. breathe. click out. keep yourself safe first. that's your number one priority.

something makes you uncomfortable/feel some way/freaked out? change tabs. x out of there. drink some water. it will pass. watch some youtube. you will be fine. don't leave a hate comment–things are never that bad. never.

in conclusion: stay safe, make yourself happy first, find the stuff you want to read instead of angsting over how much bad (by whatever standard) fic exists. you're okay. have fun.
