the holy grail types of fanfic

[grimdarkgoldcross]

i’m sorry for being abnormal about that middle aged woman it will happen again

[kaiya3333]

All fanfiction authors have praise kinks in the form of comments and likes

[softgayheart]

I for one think the symbiotic relationship between Tumblr and AO3 is beautiful

[tenderwatches]

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

you know a fic is good when it has this

[jesse-is-spiralling]

me, logging into ao3 5 minutes before bedtime: WAITER! bring me your finest enemies to lovers!

ao3 tag search function: excellent choice, sir! how would you like it cooked?

me: explicit. with a side of hurt/comfort

ao3: lovely! and may i suggest a drizzle of mutual pining?

me: of course, and can you add a spritz of angst? make it a 100k slowburn for good measure

ao3: coming right up, sir

me: thank you. oh, and waiter?

ao3: yes, sir?

me: make it gay

I didn’t realize you were the person who did the fanfiction tag drinks.

They are all available as stickers on my RedBubble shop!

“Is it okay if I draw fanart of your fanfic?👉🏼👈🏼”

My brother in Christ we shall have a spring wedding

[april-lyn3]

If anyone asked me this, I would literally be forever grateful and use their artwork in my fic. Dream come true!!

“Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today’s version of “seize him” imo

[mitzenoven]

coming on tumblr when ao3 is down is like when the internet goes out and you walk out of your room, seeing if everyone else is affected.

[superdupersillyme]

"i cant wait to update my fic", i says with joy i was then shot 57 times

[last-honey]

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

[trekscribbles]

This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.

👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏

one thing i adore about fandom is the “[bad parent]’s A+ parenting” tag on ao3. it’s so universal and so sarcastic and it makes me giggle every time i see it

[underforeversgrace]

Also, honorary mention for "no beta we die like (dead character)"

[nondelphic]

how to spot a writer:

unhinged google search history

crying over fake people

owns 200 notebooks (they're all empty)

[meriwetherwrites]

probably on at least one watchlist for internet searches

unreasonable number of internet tabs open at one time

has the project they're working on and the project they SHOULD be working on
