Bingo, nice!! And thank you so much for the tag <33
This is all you'll get out of me. Alas, no bingo
no pressure tags: @shatter-song @justkeepwalkingnothinghere
Fanfiction Writer Bingo
All the cool kids on my dash were doing this, so I decided to give it a go.
I honestly don't know about the multiple kudos since I made an account not long after I started reading on A03 and I'm basically always signed in (multiple kudos aren't technically allowed). As for professional writing - I've been paid for analytical/non-creative writing (not my entire job description, but part of it). It might be fun to actually write/self-publish a book in a few decades (know people who have done it), but I'm nowhere near able to do that anytime soon and don't plan on making a career of it.
Here's the template:
No pressure tagging: @sercezgazety @drev-the-procrastinator @watery-melon-baller @gakriele-lvs-blog @abstract-moth @thegrimshapeofyoursmile @enigma-the-mysterious @kestrel-wylde and anyone else who wants to do it

I need to stop overthinking and stressing over chapter 16 of GFS... I keep worrying i'm not pulling certain plot points off perfectly? like oh no what if its bad or doesn't land as well as i want or people don't like it... maybe i shouldve foreshadowed me maybe this maybe that ughhhhh
i haven't even read it much less worked on it in at least a month and a half, i think the version of it i've created in my head is almost entirely my worries and not even what's actually there. and either way ITS OKAY TO NOT BE PERFECT KAY JUST EDIT AND POST THE DAMN THING ITS GOOD ENOUGH- YOU DONT EVEN HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT TO FIX YOURE JUST OVERTHINKING

If you want to write a dumb little story with a dumb little plot and ridiculously silly characters. No one's stopping you. Genuinely, no one should be allowed to stop you. Write that dumb story with your whole heart and don't hold back.

AO3 Etiquette
It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:
Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.
If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.
No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.
Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.
There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.
For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.
Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.
Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.
People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.
Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.
Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.
This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.
I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.
I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.
