Wait really?! I didn’t know this either. This changes a few things.

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

Small update on things

It’s been a few months and there’s been no real news from me about chapter three, so I figured I’d post a small update for folks.

Chapter three is in the works, it’s just that progress has been really… REALLY slow. I promise that it’s being worked on, but life, work, and other hobbies get in the way sometimes.

With all that said, be safe, stay healthy, and I’ll see yall next time.

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

"He was your dad. Don't you feel anything? Not even just a little bit?"

Writing Prompt #2857

"I did this for you."

The woman could only stare in horror at the person she had once loved. "What the hell made you think I'd want this?"

I repeat what I said: always true

Presented without comment.

EXCEPT to say- commonplacecaz.

Update…

$41.50… part of the $12 increase was from shit I had forgotten about five years ago… okay most is from having forgotten about them. Only like $2 worth is actually during the gap

Just want to put this out there since I’ve been getting asks wanting me to help spread gofundme campaigns that are caused by the events currently going on or have previously gone on in various parts of the world that are still affecting people’s lives.

I’m not going to share them on my blogs for the sole fact that I cannot vouch for the integrity of the people hosting those campaigns, because I personally know too many people who have been burned by false gofundmes that looked legit.

If some of those who have reached to me are legit, I apologize for not sharing and trying to help, but I hope you can understand my position in this. I want to help, but I also don’t want to be blamed if, somehow, a fake campaign makes it through to my asks and gets shared through me. I’ve seen too many people I care about get scammed by, share, and get blamed for false campaigns in the past and am trying to protect my own image, which I know is selfish for doing.

I hope you guys can at least understand where I’m coming from with this, and I wish you all the best of luck.

I didn’t even get one word down before the characters took the story out of my hands

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

Friendly reminder to all who consume fan made media: if you reblog gifs, gif makers will keep making them. If you reblog fanart, artists will keep drawing. If you leave comments on fanfics, writers will keep writing. As many have pointed out, we’re not Instagram and likes mean nothing :)

Which oc has the most meaning to you?

I would have to say my first one, who, coincidentally, this blog is named after.

I was in a not so good place at the time, but a family member introduced me to a show and it helped me find others that I could wholly interact with, as well as gave me the drive to come back to writing.

This. Please, show authors your appreciation for their stories by commenting. Even if it’s a single word, it tells us that people are actually reading it, not just barely getting halfway through before stopping.

"should we tell authors on ao3 when we have discord conversations about their fics" i don't speak for everyone here but if y'all ever find a group chat discussing my fics you can should must and WILL send me screenshots of the whole damn thing. inflate my ego. gimme

I share mine with Chuck Jones (the animated director for Bugs Bunny), Stephen King, Bull Murray, Faith Hill, and Jerry Bruckheimer.

Didn’t realize any of this until seeing this post and checking.
