I cannot stress how much I HATE people who do this. Fully tagged with 30+ specific tags, titled, and everything, only for:

Because like. Ao3 is not a place for placeholders like this. I can almost guarantee that this person is some 12 year old from TikTok who saw something about the "Ao3 Algorithm" that doesn't exist and wanted to get a head start, if this is even someone who's writing anything at all.

Don't bother tracking it down, I already reported it and commented (though I don't doubt they'll delete my comment calling them out, and that they will wait until their account gets flagged and the "fic" gets taken down). It's just so, SO frustrating. THIS IS NOT WHAT AO3 IS FOR.

My followers: And is this “writing” you’ve been “working on” in the room with us right now?

remember to give kudos, leave comments, and generally show your appreciation to the fic writers who produce the content we so dearly missed yesterday when ao3 went down

So you’re telling me we’ve got

Doctor Gregory “You call it medical malpractice, I call it poke the bear until it bites me” House

and

Doctor James “I’m gonna watch you poke the bear until it bites you and then I’m gonna carefully clean your wounds while calling you an idiot in the fondest voice known to mankind” Wilson

who basically are two besties who would (2) literally go to jail for each other and (1) commit fake suicide to spend the rest of their lives with each other

and you’re telling me they’re both STRAIGHT????

Istg the last episode (I haven’t seen it yet) feels like an ao3 fix-it bc people couldn’t handle the unresolved tension between our two babys

If any of y’all have seen any of my short jegulus one shots - thoughts on publishing (slightly longer) jegulus one shots on ao3??

I can’t be the only one to notice an uptick of people posting ‘placeholder’ stuff on ao3 , right?

I was going through the homestuck tag and saw like 5 relatively new fics (like posted in the past month) that where just a title, description, and tags and the work was just “this is a place holder rn :) I’m still writing the fic.”

Please stop doing this , it’s so annoying and I don’t even get the point.

You don’t need a placeholder! You don’t need to reserve a spot for your fic before hand this isn’t a fancy restaurant.

I was going through an older-ish fic of mine (from October though so not really) that has temporary character death and is super fucking angsty, and I was skimming the comments again and they're KILLING me. ao3 commenters i am kissing you all on the head as i cackle over your suffering

the fic in question is this one btw! (:
