hello tumblrinas

i doubt anyone will be surprised but i’ve decided to start the process of privating all of my fics and uploading the ones i want available on my ao3.

update 27/5/2023: my social media au series masterlist and my drabbles masterlist will remain available on tumblr. all of my other writings have been privated.

#txt

also, lets talk buwygf, if you had done a part 2, what would it be about? (not a request) but that fic was one of my favourites ever ever and i always wondered what happened to them was that their ending, does tom end up with mariam? (BLUE JEANS IS MY COMFORT FIC BTW I HOPE YOU KNOW!)(and that cop tom fic i miss is sm)

ahhh it makes me so happy to see buwygf and blue jeans get love, they’re still my little babies. i was toying around with a buwygf sequel for a hot minute but i didn’t even have a plot outlined 😭

if i were to write one now i would have pulled a bridgerton season 3 and had miss y/n move on and tom longingly begging on hands and knees for her to take him back then maryam also dumps his cheating ass bc she deserves better and it ends with both girls thriving and him in therapy 😭 nah but i would’ve had like a time jump where him and y/n reconnect and slowly become more than friends after extensive therapy and healing on both sides lmaooo y’all would’ve rioted if i had ended the sequel with them broken up again.

hii! you wrote that tom childhood bestfriend fic with apurrcat(?) and i couldn't find it, was wondering if its up still<3 love your writing!

i did! the lovely @justapurrcat and i collabed two years ago. of course she still has access to the fic through our shared google doc so if she wanted to post it on her account, she could have. she hasn’t posted on tumblr since july of last year so i’ll dm her to see if she’s ok with me unprivating the fic or if she wants to post it on her own account :”)

i think about your fics all the time i’d legit kill to have you writing again 😫 would you ever consider coming back? since the ✨rumors✨

oh thank you so much lovie 🥹 i don’t even wanna know what that last part is lmao but i’m sorry, i genuinely don’t think i’ll ever want to write for tom or mcu peter again. it’s been years since i felt like a part of this fandom and motivated/inspired by these characters. i have been toying with the idea of a mini series for tasm peter, so if that ever comes to fruition you’ll find it on my ao3 which i have linked on my pinned post!

Hey um I know there's a large chance that you most likely won't see this, but I just have to say this. When you had first spoken up about leaving the fandom I was confused as to why because I didn't really realize how dry it was becoming. I just wanna say how utterly correct you were. It has declined even moreee since your leave (not saying you caused it or anything). I sometimes find myself comparing the notes/reblogs from Tom!peter fanfics to the tasm!peter ones and the difference is astounding ( it has me wondering if anyone even knows that Tom!peter exists). It's really sad, the fandom honestly can't be revived, like where is everyone??? I have so many questions about the decline of content in the fandom ( I know the interactions from the readers played a huge part, but I also feel like there may have been other factor that lead to this.) Did everyone in the fandom just grow up or something?? Anyways, I miss you lots and hope you are doing well and your new fandoms are treating you right.

wow this was a doozy to read but in a good way 😭 the delusional main character side of me wants to think my absence had an impact of any kind lmaooo but to be honest, the fandom was already in really bad shape.

lack of reader interaction personally wasn’t that big of a factor for me, i was incredibly lucky and am still grateful for the consistent feedback and love y’all gave me and i still sometimes look through reblogs on my fave fics for writing inspo :”) it meant so much to me and i look back with so much fondness on all the fun times we had with more interactive series, especially break my heart.

not to sound like i’m giving a ted talk, but what drove me away more than anything was the toxicity of the fandom. granted all fandoms have a certain level of it, but this one was really, truly bad in 2021-2022. there’s only so much consistent harassment and suicide bait a girl can overlook while still feeling welcome and excited abt this space 😭 when i look back at that stuff now i’m honestly shocked so many people stayed as long as we did.

rabid shipping culture aside, i personally feel like the mcu spiderman franchise took a big hit in no way home that drove a lot of ppl away. obviously they couldn’t keep going forever with a 30 year old guy playing a 19 year old, but their creative decisions in nwh are questionable at best to me. the end of mcu peter’s story was so final and abrupt that, combined with how flip-floppy the writers were abt a follow-up trilogy with new characters and a time jump, didn’t leave much room for fanfic to carry on. they quite literally erased mcu peter as a character and individual from the mcu itself lmao it would be pretty hard for people to write copious fanfics about a guy who has no one bc no one knows who he is and his family is dead as hell.

that being said, i really am sorry you feel like it’s difficult to enjoy and share your passion in this space. that feeling sucks and i hope that, if you write fanfic, the lack of engagement and content doesn’t stop you from being creative and sharing what you wanna share. trends and fandoms come and go in waves, you never know when a piece of media or an actor has a revival in the general public. i don’t know what roles tom has going on but if you feel inspired to engage in them when the time comes, i’m sure there will be ppl there to interact. you’re never too ‘grown up’ to enjoy fandom, especially not one as iconic and timeless as spider-man in all variations. if there’s a character, there’s ppl out there creating art for them.

in the meantime, i hope life treats you kindly as well and thank you for your ask :”) if you ever wanna chat with me, i’m still active on my main, or if you’re more comfortable here i still check in on this blog every other month 💛

hello!!! i've read your pinned so i know that a lot of your works are no longer available but would you ever upload your series lovelorn onto ao3? i saw someone had reblogged it before but i never got the chance to read it! absolutely no pressure and i hope i'm not crossing any boundaries by asking!! have a good day :)

hi hi, sorry for the long wait, i check this blog sporadically every other month. unfortunately i won’t be reuploading lovelorn bc it’s an unfinished series that i won’t continue so i don’t see the point of having it up again. and no worries, you’re not crossing any boundaries, it’s very flattering to know there’s still ppl who are interested in smth i wrote so long ago 🫶🏽🫶🏽

ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.

AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]

This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.

reshirement

@lordoftherazzles made a quick guide for ao3 authors to lock all their works at once for registered users only here!

odamakilock

Someone recently messaged me worried I’d deleted all my fic - it’s all still there, it’s just locked to A03 because of this and other skimming instances.

shieldshockfanfic

Please note that many fanfic authors are locking their stories so that they are only accessible to registered Ao3 users.

They’re still there at Ao3. The authors have made this choice to protect their work from misuse/AI scanning.

healthysharkshealthyocean

another reminder y’all. Ao3 Authors are locking their stories to protect against misuse/AI scanning.

neutralvoiceartist

Yep! That’s what happened with mine soooo locked to users we go! Including my anon works. Especially the anon works.

I forgot about this! Got my locked down so if you can’t see them, you’re probably signed out

That’s horrible!!! I’m gonna have to change to users only.

I think it’s also worth noting that while I have absolutely not included content from fics in my datasets, the Sun and Moon chatbots I’ve made on Char.AI have almost word for word regurgitated parts of @bamsara ’s Solar Lunacy fic. The AI knows what FNAF is, knows which characters it’s trying to play, and I think it’s pulling from similarly scraped data. As much fun as people have been having with Char.AI, myself included, I think it’s also worth it for fandom folk to question how sites like this are making these bots possible.

what the fuck

Miss. Ma'am, where art thou??

MISS KEN 🧍🏽‍♀️ i’m on my main losing my mind decomposing actually 😔 when i text you 38 pictures of white male leads from netflix on discord don’t be surprised i’ve entered my swirl era heavy blame shonda rhimes

But Shonda Rhimes...you also entered your "I love pain" era (you might've been here with Tom, too, now that I think about it). Is it Scandal, HTGAWM, or Grey's Anatomy?
