I Could Leave A Fic Uncompleted? U Mean It?

What the hell?! Of course IT'S NOT

Its one of the best compliments to an author, reading their whole posted works one after the other and letting them know 💖💖💖💖

also, It gets really hard to write for the community if the community doesn't respond, so comment away! 💖🌈

Just had a question about commenting on Ao3. Is it weird to comment on several of the same person's fics? Every time I do this I feel like I'm being stalkerish or something. Is it actually as weird as I'm worrying about?

im so in love with how my characters love each other that i always have to find and then swap the word tender/tenderly like a hundred times when im writing fluff

me when i write: hold on, how many times have i used this word? i've used it 27 times in the last 1000 words

yaaay 🌸

I vote that your writing continues to be:

self indulgent

cringe

weird

bizarre

long

short

sappy

only for your eyes

obnoxious

You're allowed to have your own voice. You're allowed to write something only you want to read. Seize the freedom you were never given in your 8th grade English class!

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

why cant we have anything nice? :(

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

omg

I tried something new ig

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

its so funny to me like. who comments so formally on any platform? 🤣 gramar and punctuation on point, no emojis

also its kinda weird that they retaliate when the only consequence of their actions is being called out and nothing more :/ its giving cucaracho 🪳

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

If you get a comment like this, just report for spam and delete.

so pretty 🙈😭💖

[473/547] — until we meet again, jungkook ♡

i think that all the ppl this happens to, me included (especially the days after an update) simply were not loved enough as children

like, if dad had been like "yo, whats that, show it to me. Omg, I love ur drawing! 💖🌈🌱🫶" instead of in some hotel cheating on mom, this wouldnt be an issue now. and mom... lets not talk abt mom lol

how I be staring at my ao3 inbox waiting hopelessly for a comment:
