So Taylour isn’t returning. Has she mentioned anything about filming something else at this time? Because I must have missed it. Or is this for some other reason….

[dancinwiththedevilblog]

Girl she ain’t doing SHIT! I said it and I meant. She filmed a small part in a McConaughey film months ago. I KNEW she would be the one to wreck the ship man, I KNEW it. 🙄🙄 @idershafanfiction

[tayastar72]

@dancinwiththedevilblog I understand Adam and Logan not returning as they have jobs to do. But if she ain’t doing nothing why not do HTF and get a check?

[pettylabri]

@octaviabrittany @dancinwiththedevilblog the fact that she didn’t even interact with Dersha fans or the show for that matter makes me assume otherwise. Because I haven’t seen any news of her filming anything.

[dancinwiththedevilblog]

Personally, I think she was tired of the show, and the fans and toward the end it felt to me like she was above it. Quiet as it’s kept, we wouldn’t even know who she was if not for HTF. Logan knows that which is why she continues to succeed. @idershafanfiction

[taylorwarwick]

Some of these comments are interesting, to say the least, to read! Fandom gonna fandom, I suppose...

I'm glad Taylour Paige did what was best for her, and not the show, nor the fans. I will say, Paige has really done some interesting and successful work since Hit the Floor. I'm really looking forward to "I Love Boosters!"

I will also say, I wasn't a fan of how the show dragged Ahsha, especially through Derek, German & Pete... considering all of the awful things those characters have done, least of which was a murder, LoL!

I would have liked to see have seen Ahsha try to balance her ambition against the possibility of motherhood... and ambition still winning out!

[witchesofmysticchurch]

The Hit The Floor writers are going to HELL for not having Jelena and Terrence be endgame.

[taylorwarwick]

I don't know. Jelena was Thee villain of the show - who took down everyone... from Oscar to Zero to Terrence. To give her and Terrence a happily ever after, I don't think would have worked at the end of season three.

If he'd come back in season four and she'd stayed throughout the entire eight episodes, then yes a reunion would have been perfect!

That being said, James Larosa has a whole S5 Instagram Treatment where they do get back together! Jelena/Terrence4eva.

What's the most underrated Dersha scene ever and why?

Ooh! I like this question. In my humble opinion, the most underrated Dersha scene is this:

Here’s why - We’ve seen the physical attraction between Derek & Ahsha build for the 3 previous episodes, but that was just harmless flirting. In this episode, they crossed the line.  Ahsha wandered into Derek’s bedroom and that was not by accident. She is drawn to all of his mysterious, sexy, forbidden manliness. If Ahsha was really about that German life, she would have made her exit when Derek emerged from his bathroom in just a towel.

Derek just had triplets in his bedroom, but seems to get more satisfaction from seducing Ahsha.  After some serious, eye-sex, double-ententres, suggestive flirting and heavy breathing, Ahsha gets “coached” on how to be sexy and proceeds to put all her moves on display for Derek. They had eyes only for each other during her photo shoot.

So here we are at the end of the day, after all the flirting, teasing and lusting after each other. It’s the culmination of the inevitable –

  You can see when Ahsha realized that Derek had crossed from teasing to serious. He  was probably feeling lonely, and was probably very turned on by all of her sexy dancing. To put some distance between them Ahsha said she was going home to her boyfriend. I like that she didn’t make it easy, because at this point, Derek was still just running game.

This scene is very underrated, but  it marked a progression in Dersha’s relationship. They Shout out to Taylour and McKinley because their acting was superb in this scene. They nailed it – all of the subtley, understated sexual tension,  and the yearning really looked authentic.

Thanks so much for your question!!

Thoughts?

[taylorwarwick]

I don't think that any of their scenes are "under rated". They are the primary love story, and every scene has meaning and a specific purpose in moving them forward. Well written, with no filler, due to such a large cast and only 33 episodes in seasons 1-3.

I agree that Taylour Paige and McKinley Freeman have the chemisty and solid acting chops to make me fall in love and root for them. It's all very, German, who?

I also give props to James Larosa. With the popularity of Jelena (Villians often take over - think Alexis or J.R.) & Jude/Zero, he could have sidelined them - especially because Jude/Zero brought in an audience of white women and gay men, who normally wouldn't watch a predominantly Black nighttime soap. But Larosa stuck to the landing beautifully in those three seasons.

[panteneprovcommercial]

Literally all the posts in the tag are about those two white guys 🙄

[taylorwarwick]

I will say, I love me some Jude and Zero.

Besides, it's tumblr - white, male and gay is worshipped on here, with the loudest fanbase.

That being said, I think Ahsha/Derek and Jelena were equally important to the show's overall success. Black women made that show a hit from the beginning.

Then gay men and white women jumped on board due to Jude and Zero later in S2...

Oh, and the racism that reared its ugly head in S4 when Jude got with Noah, an East Indian...

Oh well, I might be one of the few fans who also adores Oscar! Peak Villan that one!

[daydream-hq]

What advice do you have for someone wanting to write Mike Logan for the first time?

my main advice is character study: literally rewatch any L&O episode he is in/ones he is featured prominently in, and just… study him. Why is this such a good episode of him? What does it say about him, his values or his personality? What about characteristics? What codes does he give off? Try to imagine having a conversation with him - what do you think he would say or respond? I also enjoy reading fanfic of him written by other writers, because they might see him in a light that I have not thought about, or noticed something that I missed.

Obviously this can work for any character - even OCs - but for a show like Law and Order where we barely see the characters personal lives (especially in the early seasons) we have to pick up on the literal crumbs we get.

I hopes this helps and happy writing!

[taylorwarwick]

There's also a one off TV movie starring him. I think it also helps that he's been on more than one Law & Order show as a regular, so you get to see him in different elements.

[zerozerozio]

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[boimann]

reblog to let people know it's ok to bother you with questions and statements

[taylorwarwick]

Sure, as long as it deals with fanfiction writing, fanfiction culture and/or the fandoms I write for...

[harriyanna-deactivated20221223]

since some of yall (mostly racist white people and c**ns) got upset with me the other day about supporting black fanfiction writers, i decided to explain to you all about why i said what i said. 

[taylorwarwick]

Agreed on all counts.

I will say I side eye (mostly) white writers who say it's a form of "activism" if they include/write a Black character into their fic or if they complain that they don't want to be an "activist" by including one if their readers want it.

You are not registering voters, protesting or leading a boycott...

It's a way of pretending that they're being asked so much, instead of being honest and saying that they don't want to include Black characters or want a pat on the back for including them.

Quick Tips for Writing Dialogue (AGAIN)

⟢ PEOPLE DON'T FINISH SENTENCES! IMPORTANT! they interrupt themselves, they trail off, they start talking about eggs and somehow end up confessing their deepest fear about becoming their mother. Your dialogue should derail like a drunk train conductor took the wheel. "I was thinking we could—no wait, did you feed the cat? Because last time you said you would but—actually never mind, what I meant was—" SEE? HUMAN. Beautiful chaos.

⟢ Contractions exist??? USE THEM. Nobody says "I am going to the store" unless they're an alien spy or your grandmother leaving a voicemail. It's "I'm gonna" or even "gonna hit the store" or if they're really casual "store run, back in 20"

⟢ LISTEN TO ME! Said is NOT dead but said is also boring sometimes. Yeah yeah, "said is invisible," the writing teachers chant while burning incense. But you know what? Sometimes people mutter, snap, whisper, drawl, bite out their words. Your character just found out their partner sold their vinyl collection? They're not "saying" anything, they're HISSING like a Victorian ghost

⟢ People repeat themselves when emotional!!! "I can't believe you. I just—I can't believe you did this." Not poetic. Real. That's the point!!!

⟢ Subtext is doing heavy lifting, what people DON'T say matters more than what they do. "Fine" is never fine. "Whatever you want" means "I will remember this betrayal forever." Your readers are smart; let them read between the lines

⟢ Accents/dialects: DO NOT WRITE THEM PHONETICALLY unless you want your book thrown across the room. Do NOT write "Oi guv'na, blimey!", instead show it through word choice, rhythm, syntax. "Right then, what's all this about?" works better than "Wot's awl dis aboot guvnah"

Not meeting Laura, Zero's sister, was one of the things I hate that we never got to see. We know she's younger, drives a hybrid and is a senior at BU! My head canon pictures her as looking like Rachel Ziegler (half Latina, half white) and all morally grey!

She was such a BITCH but I loved her!!!

I don't need a qualifier. She was that bitch, AND I loved her for it! Jelena took on Ahsha, Oscar, Zero, etc. when they were in the way of what she wanted and her goals.

AO3 Spam Bot Update

Date Posted: February 8, 2026

A wave of spambot guest comments claiming to be AO3 volunteers has recently been made across the site. They claim that there has been a data breach and that fraudulent password reset emails have been sent out. In addition, the harassment spambots are now accusing users of being sex offenders.

These claims are not true. These comments are not being made by real AO3 volunteers or users, and AO3 has not experienced a data breach.

These comments copy existing AO3 usernames in order to make their accusations seem more legitimate. They may also try to lure people onto other platforms, similar to the art commission scam.

AO3 volunteers will never communicate with you through guest comments on your work. All important communications from AO3 about your account will be sent via email. More general announcements will be posted on our official social media accounts or published as news posts on AO3 or OTW.org.

If you want to make sure you're doing everything possible to protect yourself and your accounts, our Policy & Abuse volunteers published a news post earlier this year with advice about internet safety best practices: Protect Your AO3 Account.

As always, we recommend that you do not click on any suspicious links or give your contact information to scammers. Instead, simply mark the comments as spam or report them so that Policy & Abuse can remove other comments left by these spambots.

If you aren't sure how to mark guest comments as spam, learn how to handle them below the cut!

As these comments have so far all been from guests, our advice is to flag them as spam to better filter them out. To do that, simply follow the instructions below:

If the comment is on your own work:

Go directly to the comment on your work, either by clicking on the link in your email or in your AO3 inbox.

Click on the "Spam" button to mark the guest comment as spam and remove it from your work.

Note: The "Spam" button only appears when viewing a guest comment directly on your work. This is because the AO3 comment inbox is merely a copy of the work's comments – deleting a comment from your AO3 inbox does not delete the comment from the work itself.

If you see comments like these on someone else's work:

Feel free to let the creator know the comment is from a bot, and that they should mark it as spam.

You can also report the comments as botspam via the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form linked at the bottom of every page on AO3.

If you are reporting multiple guest comments, please submit only one report, and include all comment links in your report description. (You can get the direct link to any comment by clicking the "Thread" button on the comment, and then copying the URL of that page.)

If you're not sure if something is a spambot comment, you're welcome to contact Policy & Abuse for assistance. Refer to the original post for more information!
