i love sibling estrangement as horror. Only one person in the entire world has been through what youve been through and they deny it . Awesome

the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

[writingdose]

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

fandom joy is making everything about blorbo, even the most unrelated thing ever

this is fandom joy!

you know when you were a kid and you couldn't afford trading cards, so you and your friends just doodled on a ton of index cards and started passing them back and forth and giggling?

that's tumblr. we're still doing that that's tumblr.

How to do picture comments on Ao3; a Tutorial

Has a fic ever absolutely devastated you to the point you can’t form a coherent thought? That’s okay! That’s where picture comments come in! Here’s how!

Go to https://postimages.org

Upload your image 

Copy the direct link

paste this text into the comment box <img src="link">

Paste your link onto the quotes 

Post!

The result should look something like this! I recommend saving the text to your notes app so you can copy and paste them

happy commenting!

some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

you don’t have to write safe practices and contract agreements. your audience knows not to apply any of this in their real lives, sasuke doesn’t know what a safe word is im begging you please write the toxic yaoi

I'd add that alongside src with the link, add alt text! Ao3 is a bastion of fandom for people who can't access images for whatever reason.

<img src="link" alt="description of image. A short description is perfectly fine!">

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

[bizarrelittlemew]

So happy to see people enjoying these and spreading the love 💖

I saw a lady complaining on TikTok that people were writing too many Bloodymary fics.

Specifically she was complaining that it clogged the tags for either fandom (on AO3) and said “If I have to filter it out, you’re writing too many.”

IF YOU HAVE TO FILTER IT OUT??? On the website that is literally just a database with filters?? It’s not a social media. It’s not going to be curated towards your interests. It’s up to you to use the filters to see what you want, or else you’re going to get everything for a particular tag or piece of media.

You’re literally complaining about other people having fun and you having to use AO3 as intended.

[writingdose]

the author’s barely disguised love, joy and passion that they have for the characters, writing and their stories

[writingdose]

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.
