This is a House on Fire @this-is-not-a-slow-burn - Tumblr Blog

You may know me as Fountain or Fountain1403 in the KCD fandom

Fandoms I reblog regularly:

Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 & 2

The Witcher

Cyberpunk 2077

Disco Elysium

And occasionally:

Dragon Age

Hannibal (NBC)

Mass Effect

Black Sails

IWTV (AMC)

Fallout 4

BG3

Some reblogs may contain NSFW art including nudity and fictional characters in explicit sexual situations that may or may not be censored.That said, no photos, GIFs or videos of actual factual porn will appear here. I support the right to be a sex worker, and support their work in topically appropriate spaces for it. I don't consider tumblr an appropriate place for real person porn.

A friendly PSA for everyone migrating from Wattpad to AO3!

Commenting Etiquette

No Unsolicited Concrit: Authors post fanworks for free as a hobby. Unless an author explicitly asks for constructive criticism in their notes, keep comments positive and critique-free.

Don't Like, Don't Read (DLDR): If a story, relationship, or trope bothers you, hit the back button. Leaving negative comments over subjective preferences breaks core fandom norms.

Phrase Update Requests Politely: Demanding "Update soon!" can feel transactional. Pair your excitement with appreciation for the current chapter (e.g., "Loved this chapter, can't wait to see where the story goes!").

Short Comments & Emojis Are Welcomed: You don't need to write an essay! Leaving a kudos or a single heart emoji in the comment section is a totally valid and appreciated form of comment.

Tagging & Relationships

Accurate Warning Tags: Always select the appropriate Major Archive Warnings or explicitly mark "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings."

Distinguish / vs &: Use / strictly for romantic or sexual pairings (Character A/Character B). Use & exclusively for platonic or familial relationships (Character A & Character B).

Site Rules & Features

No Monetization: AO3 is a non-profit archive run entirely on donations. Selling physical copies anywhere on your profile or story text violates TOS and risks account suspension.

Public vs. Private Bookmarks: Bookmarks are public by default, and authors can see everything written in them. If you use bookmarks for personal ratings, critical notes, or reading progress, remember to check the Private box.

AND DON´T USE AI.

Edit: if you do use ai... tag it

There will never be any argument that will successfully remove Ao3 content you don't like.

Because I've been seeing posts again that some readers are being morality police and trying to fight the types of content found on Ao3, I thought it might be a good thing to note that Ao3 exists partly as a response to those types of arguments. Quite literally. In short, a company was started that intended to monetize fanfic, which put the whole practice at risk. Not long after that there was a "morality" purge in 2007 (known as Strikethrough) from LiveJournal, and fandom took action in response. Instead of feeling bad about it, a group of those authors, including @astolat created Organization for Transformative Works. It includes the Ao3 platform, a legal arm, and other supportive projects.

Fanlore has a pretty accurate article on the creation, the arguments, the reasoning. So if you're migrating over from WattPad just know that you've entered a somewhat hallowed ground. Respect it :3

#Astolat you don't remember me at all #but we shared a fandom for a while on LiveJournal (Adam Lambert)#eternally grateful for everything you've done
