Also: Whenever I hear a guy go “Oooh, but women don’t like porn” i think of the enormous amount of porn in fandom created by women for women and all I can think is: “Well, maybe we just don’t like your porn…”

We like our porn with feelings and character development and regular updates on AO3

The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.

THE NOTES ARE BROKEN! This has been reblogged so many times, Tumblr just shrugged and said “infinity”

Did you know if you are not logged in on ao3 and you clear your browsing history, you can leave as many kudos as you want?

I did not actually know this. I thought you could leave one.

I know on rereads of fics, I will log out and leave one guest kudos on fics I really love.

I constantly read fanfics in incognito mode so I can hit the kudo button as often as I want on my rereads. Granted I’m not spamming stories over short periods, but yeah, I am not afraid to make it rain the kudos (some of y’all deserve far more than 1 and I am VERY ANGRY ABOUT IT)

ao3 tag: “angst with a happy ending”

me:

writing advice: never italicize words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well then the reader will know and you don’t need them!

me: oh really??? listen up, pal, you can just try an pull italics from my cold, dead fingers

I feel this on a spiritual level.

I didn’t know the “dead dove: Do not eat” tag was a thing but it’s honestly my favorite of the tags because like... it just is what it is. You know the tagged content is not!good and there’s no worrying about explaining it. Sometimes I just wanna read and/or write dubious content without having to explain myself and it’s just??? Such a great tag

buT I WANNA LEAVE MORE

howelldaniel

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Seriously, this is what keeps us going; YOUR COMMENTS.

ashleyfanfic

And you think my ranting about it is just being salty! It’s not! Reviews can mean the difference between feeling motivated and feeling out of place.

I appreciate, but do not understand, people who follow/subscribe to my completed stories.

Like I high-key dig that you enjoyed them that much, but they are done. There’s no more. Es fin. The end.

Can u please update incredulous incredible? We've been waiting patiently for MONTHS (yes months) for an update. You owe us something at least.

I’m super duper flattered that you are enjoying my fic, Nonny. And I will get to it just as soon as I’m able.

I’ve had a ton of real life bs crop up lately, and I know it seems like I’ve been posting tons of things, but the majority of my fic updates and drabble posts were all written a while ago and either scheduled to post or planned to post in advance.

I’m attempting to break into self-publishing, and while I know that doesn’t likely interest you, it’s taking up all my free time right now. I’ve got one novella being edited and I’m writing a separate full length novel right now. On top of that, my family’s financial situation has been super skinny lately and my anxiety is off the charts.

I know what you’re looking for is a quick and simple “Sure, I’ll go work on it right now!” or an ETA on the next chapter, but here’s the thing, it’s last on my list right now, and I’m sorry.

I never mean to leave people waiting for months for updates, but if you’ve been around any amount of time, it’s just kind of a thing I do. I start too many projects and struggle to finish them. I always DO finish them, though. So not to worry.

I hope this explanation is enough to ease your worry that I’ve abandoned that fic or something. I haven’t abandoned it. I’ll be coming back to it soon. Promise!

vr-miller

Im still reeling at the “you owe us something a least” comment tbh

Good on you for handling it like a queen but friendly reminder FanFiction doesn’t pay anyone’s bills and shit happens. Des’ putting out amazing and free content, maybe don’t have that kind of mentality.

skygemspeaks

When you see an interesting summary, click in to the fic, see that it has no paragraph breaks, and nope right the fuck out

like, you could be shakespeare himself and i still wouldn’t give your fic the time of day lmao

#true #there's a lot I'll tolerate because writers ain't getting paid for this #but line breaks are one of them #I ain't tackling mount st page

resident-sourwolf

In case y’all are wondering what type of comments make writers kick it into high fucking gear to get out new material

wittyno

Serial killer or a writer doing research? You decide.

I understand I am a persnickety grandma who resents the changing in the dialect (though I still grit my teeth at “drabble” being anything other than a 100 word blurb)

But I draw the line on the difference between / and +

For the love of god, please stop tagging + pairings as /, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CHARACTERS ARE RELATED. I keep thinking Im running into incest when it’s just cuddle crap which is fine but STOP IT
