do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

one day i will make a true proper playlist of 6teen episodes in PERFECT order because, miraculously, both the 'as they aired' order and the 'actual order the eps were made' somehow BOTH have continuity errors as they are.

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

hi! do u have any tips on writing smut i always struggle and suck at it! please anything will help

hi anon!! first of all: you absolutely don’t suck, smut is just HARD (pun intended) 😭 it takes time, trial and error, and a complete lack of shame. here are a few tips that helped me when I started writing filth:

1. Focus on the feeling, not just the logistics.

Readers care less about where the hands are and more about how it feels—physically, emotionally, psychologically. Is it frantic? Tender? Possessive? Filthy and degrading? Anchor the scene in that vibe.

2. Use all five senses.

Don’t just say “he kissed her”—talk about the taste of his mouth, the weight of his body, the sound of breath hitching. Smut is immersive, and sensory detail is your best friend.

3. Internal monologue is gold.

What’s the character thinking while they’re getting railed? Is their brain short-circuiting? Are they trying to hold back a moan? That tension is hot. Let us live in their head.

4. Word variety > medical terms.

Switch it up. “Cock” is fine. “Length,” “shaft,” “the heat of him”—spice it how you want.

5. Don’t be afraid to cringe.

You will write things that make you second-guess your existence. That’s part of the process. Write it anyway. Let it be messy. You can always edit later, but you can’t edit a blank page.

Bonus: read a LOT of smut. See what turns you on. What language sticks? What pacing works? Then steal like an artist and make it your own.

you got this!! the only way to get better at writing smut is to write it. often. shamelessly. with your whole chest and probably your whole pelvis too 🙂‍↕️

A tie for Seasons 1 and 2! And also, not a single person considers 4 their favourite wow.

Also, depressingly, only 15 votes total. This fandom is really a speck of dust now. Oof. :/

Been curious what people's favourite season of the show is, and if there is any kind of clear winner among the fandom. Personally I'm kind of leaning to Season 02 being my overall favourite, I feel like the show really expands a lot in this season with more characters, more dynamics, and introducing new stores that really help shape the show (Underground Video for example). But what about everyone else? What's your fav season?

but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 account and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)
