Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

I've been a fanfic writer on AO3 for two years, have 50+ stories and over 350k in words, lots of fun reader engagement and stay active on Tumblr to promote my stories and fan creations.

Last night I got an angry message on my Tumblr from a user asking why I was flaming their story on AO3.

I never leave negative comments (and I've left over 500 positive ones!). I looked into it, and the hatebots on AO3 used my username with (Guest) at the end to send one of the most vile messages I've ever read to a user in a completely different fandom from me.

I straightened it out with that user and explained about the hatebots. But their initial message to me was angry, they'd found me off AO3 on Tumblr and called out personal details from my page because they thought I was bullying them.

I still can't really fathom why these hatebots do what they do, but I'm also a little scared that a misunderstanding like that could lead to someone getting doxxed. And I'm also extremely sad that this bot is posing as me and threatening other users. I encouraged the one reaching out to me to report and block and made a note on my page explaining that (Guest) comments are not from me in case anyone else had that experience.

I still love AO3 for the ability to write and share and connect over our stories and fandoms, but this is really discouraging and scary, in addition to the almost daily art bot scams I get on AO3 too.

And my heart breaks for the user who thought even for a moment that a complete stranger would say such awful things to them using my name.

And it's devastating to think of so many writers waiting for feedback on a story they worked so hard on who are getting hateful comments like these. Or to think someone could internalize those hateful comments without knowing it's a bot.

My heart breaks especially for newer writers on AO3, it's definitely a different landscape from when I joined two years ago.

As a kid who grew up watching Terminator - I'm not sure I envisioned the robot wars looking quite like this!!

Eesh. If anyone ever gets a negative comment from me, you can know immediately that it was a bot! I would never!!

As a rule, no one should consider comments coming from "author's name (guest)" are to be considered as bots.

Re-reading your own fic is wild.

Okay, that's a really good sentence. Typo. Typo. Huh, did I write this? It's actually not bad. Typo. Hm, I would cut out that part now, but it kind of works. TYPO. Oh, this part is really good. That is the wrong word, wtf? I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would. ANOTHER TYPO? FFS.

So often I think about Scar’s recurring theme of wanting friends throughout the life series — and specifically from third life to secret life. The way he goes from standing in a desert with a handful of flowers (can we still be friends?) to kneeling in a ravine alone in a blood-soaked world (how did the guy with no friends win?) and it kind of just feels like this sort of sad full circle moment. I can’t fully articulate it.

Anddddddd I’m back to harrass you again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

anyway got any random dead men facts or really any headcannons about anythin. They don’t have to be like full ideas they can just be random facts

Byeeeeeeeeee

ayy youre back!

im actually considering doing a Dead Men revamp sometime soon, since i think life series is going on hiatus? in any case im due for a rewatch and some reworking, especially with regards to the Hermitcraft elements i was trying to include...

anyways, my Dead Men planning doc is 4.3k words long, so ive definitely got plenty of random facts!

folks mightve noticed that, in the Dead Men fic itself, Martyn actually tastes like something (sea salt & vanilla ice cream, to be precise); this is because everyone tastes different to the Vex, and various traits give people different unique flavor combos (honestly, this whole concept is worth its own post, because this is something i will definitely be keeping lol)

on that note, Grian isn't actually edible

Scar doesn't have fingerprints (anymore)

Martyn is a middle child

i actually have a draft magic system for Dead Men that would also deserve its own post if it was anywhere near finalized ;-; but with regards to a previous reference i made to the opposition of the Vex & the Watchers: i have Vex magic as operating on a base of unity and one-ness, and Watcher magic as operating on a base of greed. remains to be seen if i keep this in the revamp, but i do think its neat

Cub plays guitar

because of Martyn's original species, he was actually a shapeshifter before he became a Vex!

but yeah, i'll likely have more tidbits as i attempt the revamp. in the meantime, feel free to send asks about anything above, or any other Dead Men stuff!

thanks a bunch for my first ask of the year, and happy new year to you too!!!

@ previous tag, I just wanted to share my own thoughts on this, as a reader and a writer myself, I don’t think it’s “weird” if an author doesn’t respond back to a comment they got.

because authors don’t owe anyone anything. and them not responding for whatever reason (not knowing what to say? feeling like a simply “thank you so much” sounds too cliche and repetitive when it’s used to respond to several people? being too tired from life outside of fandom space? feeling overwhelmed? all of these are what I have experienced as a writer who try to respond to comment I received) does not mean they don’t appreciate the support people have shown them.

sometimes I can’t respond to comments I received on my works, for the reasons I have previously stated, but that does not mean I don’t read and appreciate each and every single one of them.

and as a reader who comments on works I love, I never expect the authors to respond to my comments. sure, it’s great if they do. but the point of me commenting on their works is only to let them know I love what they wrote and I appreciate them for sharing these works with me. they don’t have to respond to me. because, as a writer, I totally understand responding to comments can be very overwhelming too.

my point is that comments are always deeply appreciated, but yeah, as a writer and a reader/commenter, the main purpose of comments is to let the authors know we love and appreciate them and their works. not for them to always respond.

the point of fandom should not be “straining yourself to interact with every single person who interacts with you”, the point of fandom should just be that it’s fun, it’s a source of comfort and self-care.

so in my opinion, “interacting with other people in the fandom” is not the whole point of fandom, not to me, at least. having fun and engaging in fandom space/activities on your own terms is the point.

I'll just say this because i get a lot of comments of this from main fics and anonymous work, anyone can make fanart on my fics, you don't need to ask permission just go wild. All I ask is you credit me and link the fanfic I wrote, that's all you need to do.

And no AI, I'll haunt you in your sleep if you even think about it.
