My beta when they see me leave a ‘…’ 😂

no

I can never not comment on a fic. Maybe it’s because I am a writer too and I know how it gives me the warm feelies.

It’s nice to not be writing and leaving it out in ‘the void’ of internet. Support your people, people ❤️

I truly truly believe that the most important thing you can do in fandom is be a cheerleader. comment on fics. reblog art and rave in the tags. support the people making the things you want to see. this is how you keep a fandom alive. this is how you get more of what you want. you never know: that person could have decided to make more just because you liked it.

"The creator definitely didn't put that much thought into it" well then clearly someone else has to and I think I'm the weirdo for the job

[peaches-and-tea-please]

all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”

Rated E ~

“Snape had arrived in his usual ominous state. There was nothing about the reunion he wanted to be a part of, except that Minerva had asked him to simply 'Be present,’ and if possible, to be on his best behaviour. Snape snorted at the last part.”

The night doesn’t go as he had expected when he crosses path with his former student, Luna Lovegood.

A story of solitude, peculiar honesty, shared grief and unexpected curiosity.

I uh… ehEM— am a dash queen.

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

REBLOG IF YOU'RE A HUMAN AND YOU USE EM DASH

My heart. I can’t. This is just.

So, the other day, when I was discussing AO3's policy on solicitation, a tumblr user came at me saying that AO3's "no monetization/solicitation" rules were "bullshit" because nexus mods allows fan created mods to get paid.

Look at me.

Look at me right now.

AO3 protects you.

AO3 protects you and your works. 

It protects your works from copyright strikes and DCMA takedowns.

It protects your work from advertisers.

It protects your work from overzealous legal challenges.

It protects your right to post adult content.

AO3 is non-profit and AO3 will never try to use you or your work to make a profit for themselves and AO3 will go to bat for you if someone tries to legally challenge you or your works.

Please respect AO3 and its mission.

It grew two heads! I have a couple more ideas… so I may just write another chapter. If you need a smile ~ I hope this does it for you. Harry is sassy as ever.

~ open for suggestions :) DMS are opennnn

Chapter two:

I… I did a thing. Publishing my writing used to make me so nervous. Did a little oneshot…. I have a soft spot for severitus fanfic 🥲🙃😅

I made a step today!! :3

My next project is to finish these two lovely people. Only sharing here because this is a gift to someone and I don’t think they have tumblr. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

WIP

Snep & Hermione pic: 90% done ✔️

Chapter four is done! Just waiting to edit 🥰

I’ll post it as soon as I hear back from my beta ❤️

[peaches-and-tea-please]

Oh dear. I only give my tumblr user incase I need to update my readers. I do not look to make a profit of any kind off of someone else’s world. I just enjoy playing with the characters.

I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

-

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Thanks for the coffee!

Do you hear this, my writing friends? You are doing amazing.

something to remember is that writing is hard. and I don't necessarily mean in terms of writers block or trying to solve plot holes etc (although that's part of it), but as in it's hard work. even when writing is going well, you're spending a lot of mental energy on it – on deciding which words to use and in what order, remembering how to spell those words, figuring out if character dialogue sounds good, remembering the things that happened around the bit you're currently writing + what you want to happen next, checking plot notes, remembering your established canon, holding different subplots in your head.... that's like having a whole bunch of programs running simultaneously on a computer, and even the best computer with high end specs can't run like that forever. so if you ever catch yourself thinking "man all I did was write/revise/edit. why am I so tired?" that is your answer. because your brain has been running multiple processes and it needs a break

[peaches-and-tea-please]

Oh no Serena :( sharing.

hey there! thought you might wanna know, but I think there's a comment bot on AO3 going around posting really mean comments under the name of one of your Ao3 pseuds as a guest (Looks like this: "Pods and Filks by (SerenaEW) (Guest)") It was commented under a very small fandom (the arcana) that I don't think you're a part of, but I thought you might wanna know in case you see an influx of people coming in to yell at you or in case some of your followers see it and think you're being mean or something idk.

Hi Anon!

Thank you so much for letting me know!

Hello everyone!

This is... Honestly? This is devastating for me. Because I try to be as positive and as encouraging as I can be, and to see bots / haters abusing my name to spead their hate is just... No words.

Anyway:

I do not post hate comments. Hate is a waste of energy that I Do. Not. Have.

I will only leave comments with my name in non-Guest mode.

I usually do not comment under my pseuds (Verselets, Meet A Meta, Dabbling in Drabbles, Pods and Filks) either.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention, Anon.

To my followers: If you ever see a hate comment made in my name, please link them to me so I can try to report them to AO3 if that helps at all.

Hope you're all well!

Best

Serena P.S.:

I am not the only person affected by things like this. I am at least the 5th case I have heard of.

I reported it to AO3 as Abuse - Identity theft. Hope that goes well.
