young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

Okay, you know what? After reading this post, I jokingly said we should all just make a pact to reblog it five times a day forever. So I'm gonna do this louder for the people in the back:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

AO3 IS RUN BY FANS (VOLUNTEERS, NO LESS)

AO3 IS PART OF THE NON-PROFIT, ORGANIZATION FOR TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS

AO3 IS NOT OWNED BY ANY COMPANIES AND DOES NOT EARN REVENUE

AO3 OPERATES ON DONATIONS FROM FANS

again:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

do you ever not write for so long that you’re almost afraid to? like what if I’m dumb now

is he acting out of character or did you get too attached to a headcanon

The final chapter is out now! Thank you for every who has read and commented. I haven’t been getting very much traffic lately 🥹

The third chapter of My Favorite Is You is out, because I’m having the best time and can’t seem to think about anything else.

Just got a tremendous amount of joy out of AO3 because I was scrolling along, just looking for a new fic to read, and I came across one that was just titled "Find Fic" and it was less than a hundred words. It was literally someone who was trying to find another fic they'd read on the site and they put a personal ad in AO3 to help them find it like it was a newspaper. The idea that someone thought to do that just makes me so cheerful for some reason. Like, wow, it isn't even really a social media site, it's an archive site, but I clicked on the fic and it had two comments, one of someone sharing a link and the second was the ad author saying thank you for the link and it just brought this joy at the fact that AO3 is a little community 💗💗💗

love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

You ever love a fictional character so much that your chest physically hurts every time you so much as see a picture of them?

Omfg Will Graham would have fucking loved playing Dredge

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

“do you write for work or just for fun” none of the above. this activity is neither profitable nor enjoyable
