Not to alarm anyone, but there’s less than 24 hours left to preorder Petrichor, the sfw KiriBaku digital zine, in time to get access to all of the preorder bonus content! Extra art, extra stories…. It’s worth it, trust me! I should know, one of the extra works is one I did 😉 please order when you can and spread the word to KrBk lovers!

I just wrote 8 pages when I haven't written in months and was beginning to think I'd never be able to again. Idk what it is, but I am sharing and manifesting this energy for every writer who sees this. May you write 8 quality pages effortlessly and find joy writing once more

Wishing all of you a very merry "I suddenly have the motivation and time to write a minimum 10k fic"... please

Soooooo excited to share a preview of the winter fic I wrote for the Petrichor zine! I'm super proud of the story I came up with, and I can't wait to share it with everyone 💕❄️

Pre-orders are currently open, and there's still time to get all the cool extra content before the zine comes out on April 30th!

Plz you can NOT tell me my season is losing rn! They absolutely fell in love in autumn 😭

A little peak at one of my works for the Petrichor KrBk zine that’s coming out at the end of the month! If it looks like your kind of thing, check it out - there’s a ton of us who worked on it, dozens of stories and art, and a good deal of preorder bonus content!

Write fanfic for yourself.

Publish fanfic for the rotation of 3-6 people who are devoted readers and will either go feral or leave you very nice words and yell with you about it.

The zine finally being on pre-order is making me want to write again. Would you (the theoretical ‘you’ that may or may not be out there reading this, bc I have no idea how many people actually do lol) be more interested in a ‘Bkg has Hanahaki, but the problem is it’s thought to be a fictional disease and no one believes him’ fic, or a ‘Kiri is gone, and Bkg wakes up in a creepy forest and has to process the stages of grief in order to get out - but he’s not the only thing in the forest’ kind of fic? 👀

The KrBk digital zine Petrichor drops at the end of this month, and pre-orders are available now!

I’m incapable of NOT being obnoxious about this right now and probably for the foreseeable future tbh! I can’t help it - fanfic or not, digital or not, a thing I wrote gets to be a part of this huge amazing thing stacked with all of these crazy talented people, and I just can’t fathom it. The mods gathered a ton of the most talented artists, and the most amazing writers, that I’ve ever seen for KiriBaku.

We literally have it all?? Every season, and every reason, to fall in love with KrBk - and watch as they fall in love with each other 💖

[sugar-n-spite]

Petrichor pre-orders are now open!! If you can please please please go and support this project, me as well as many other talented artists and writers worked really hard on all of our pieces, and we can't wait to share them! Plus there's some pretty sweet bonus content that you can only get during the pre-order window, so hop to it! 🌸☀️🍁❄️

[sugar-n-spite]

It’s happening! Pre-orders for Petrichor - a digital KrBk zine based around the seasons - start today, and I’m both ridiculously excited and horrendously nervous! Taking part in this as a contributing author has been an amazing experience, and if anyone reading this would like to check out the link and learn more (and might be interested in pre-ordering!), I’d love you forever 💖

I'm posting today to tell you your writing is worth it, even in those moments when you're doubting your story, your ability to tell the story. You shouldn't judge a story half-told and/or in its rawest forms, while strands of ideas are still tangled up in your mind, you must allow the words, those worlds, those weeds to flower before you hack and cut away at them. When you're in the messy thicket of your first drafts, your writing is still worth it.

I love being a writer. Last night I spent at least two hours researching the Victorian and modern-day spiritual meanings of flowers and various foods for one sentence in my story. I could tell you exactly what a human would be going through at any given stage of blood loss, and how a body reacts after death. Poisons are a given knowledge, stab wounds obligatory. "What do you mean it's 'antisocial' to discuss the best way to hide a body?"

AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED

Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.

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 it, you liked it - so kudos.

If you really 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. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. 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 PLATONIC, 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.

Try to avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - make it anonymous or orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore.

It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it.

The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed.

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.
