@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

I dont think rosekiller is toxic

I acc think their relationship would be quite stable they're just mentally fucking insane

I swear, I hate those moments when I'm halfway through the story and my brain goes like "hey, here's a new idea how it could go" and I'm like, alright, sounds good. But I have already something written, so I'm just adding new things. Fine. Great.

But then my brain goes again "what if we changed the whole thing?" and I end up deleting most of it to fit my new idea.

That's prolly why I have so many unfinished stories.

rest of the wedding and the morning that follows leaves Remus with a lot, whole lot of thoughts.

ao3 writers I love you and see you and I know it can be demoralizing when the fic you’ve worked so hard on doesn’t get nearly enough reception as you’d hoped. Whether that’s in the form of hits or kudos or bookmarks or comments. I know it’s frustrating, but just know… there’s often no rhyme or reason to it. no discernible algorithm at play here.

please remind yourself that low numbers are NOT an inherent reflection on the quality of your work. I’ve read incredible, downright masterful stories that have just a few kudos and a handful of bookmarks; and I’ve read extremely popular fics that I simply don’t vibe with. And everything in between. There are so many factors involved—how big the fandom is, how popular the ship is, what kind of tags are included, how other people filter and search for fics, etc. etc... the list TRULY goes on. all this to say, the stats absolutely shouldn't be the thing that keeps you from writing.

be kind to yourself. keep creating, if that's something you want to do and have the energy for. please don't get discouraged. your art matters and is worth so much more than you might think.

if you see this, I’d love for you to drop some of your favourite fics you’ve written in the comments or reblogs ♥️

Tumblr just put a fcuking harry potter post on my feed as a "recommendation based on your likes"

Why not recommend me smallpox next. Or arthritis maybe.

I have a lot of feelings about the rise of he would not fucking say that attitudes in fandom spaces and the paralysing effect it can have on creators. As a writer i think it’s important to just write what feels true to you and not what you think others will “approve” of. Like even as a reader i have enjoyed a variety of different characterisations that all work because the writer makes them work for a particular story. And a fic that’s written out of character to some will be in character to others. Writing fic is not your job you’re not being paid it’s your hobby please. Make them as close to canon as possible. Make them completely different. Who cares! Have fun! Have so much fun! There is an audience for every kind of fic and every kind of character interpretation i promise

More problems at AO3 (Thursday March 28th 2024) Don't spam the page to see if its back if you can manage it - give the server a chance to stabilise 🥰

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I HAD AN HEART ATTACK

so I went to ao3 a few moments ago and the page wasn't loading and I thought fuck this wifi and I restarted it and the page showed me info that there WAS ERROR, WITHOUT EXPLANATION and I started to freak out and I tried a couple times more AND THE UNNAMED ERROR WAS STILL POPPING UP and okay, that was the moment I really started panicking

but then (FINALLY) there popped this info that it doesnt work because of maintenance-y things...

honestly, ao3, enough heart attacks and anxiety because of the fics, I don’t need more, alright (also, I miiiight have angered my family because of the amount of times I was restarting the wifi...)
