"do I misunderstand what this kink is, or are people on AO3 tagging it in fics where it does not actually appear?"

*goes and double checks the definition and reads some reddit threads*

AO3 authors are tagging it in fics where it does not appear. 😩

the blorbo covered in blood. the blorbo coughing up blood. the blorbo going pale from severe blood loss. the blorbo trying and failing to stay upright. the blorbo falling into their own archenemy’s arms. the blorbo losing consciousness. the blorbo undergoing several surgeries. the blorbo in a coma. the blorbo with a tube down their throat. the blorbo having seizures. the blorbo flatlining. the blorbo having their ribs broken from the doctors’ attempt to resuscitate them. the blorbo being brought back to life after their heart stopped. the blorbo hearing their own archenemy’s voice cry and beg them to come back to them. the blorbo feeling someone holding their hand. the blorbo not being able to open their eyes or respond. the blorbo finally being able to open their eyes. the blorbo seeing their own archenemy’s tears-covered face. the blorbo not protesting when their archenemy cups their face tenderly. the blorbo letting their archenemy take care of them. the superior enemies to lovers trope honestly 😮‍💨😮‍💨🫰🏻

Dark Soulmates au idea

Sometimes very rarely a person will have a soul disfigurement. In a regular pair of soulmates the "soul" is split evenly between them. Sometimes someone will get more "soul" than the other but it rarely affects them. In extremely rare cases though a person could have 90%+ of their pair's "soul." This leads to the recipient being more empathetic, violent, and having an obsession with their soulmate.

Teen Wolf fic rec!

• Word Count: 33,555

• Chapters: Oneshot

• Ship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski

Summary:

Derek Hale looked terrifying. With his broad frame and muscles, with his wild black hair and thick beard, with his eyes the color of blood and fangs of a killer. Despite his kindness and his apparent attraction to Stiles, he was still a stranger, a predator, a wolf.

The thing is, Stiles would deal, but others might not. People found Lord Hale horrid, monstrous and unapproachable.

If Stiles stood behind him, no one would touch him.

He’d be safe with the wolf. If not from him, then definitely from everyone else. And that was enough.

Are you absolutely sure that authors love large amounts of comments? I give kinda gushy comments sometimes and I really worry that they won't appreciate them. I would flip my top to get play-by-play praise of my story, but it feels a little like I'm too invested to give those reviews myself.

I'm overthinking this, right?

I’m not an author but from what I’ve heard those kinds of comments make people’s days :)

I wouldn’t over think it too much- comment what you feel comfortable with!

Good Omens Survey for University!

I was wondering if any wonderful fellow ineffable fans would be able to help me out <3 Anyone who has had to endure me for more than a minute knows I'm a film student and will take basically any opportunity to inject my love for Good Omens into my assignments (hence why my dissertation is literally all about Good Omens and Adaptation Theory haah!)

So I'm asking if anyone would be able to spare a few minutes of their time to participate in my survey for my Audiences and Fandom research This survey is to help understand the consumption of fanfiction within the Good Omens community. The aim of this research is to look at how readers versus writers engage with fanfiction. With a particular focus on intentions and preferences. I aim to compare what is defined as popularly posted on AO3 and if that is a true reflection of what people read. Also looking at means of engagement that can contribute to, and define, the popularity of a piece of work itself and if these factors correlate or diverge.

As you'll see in the form, Any information you provide in the survey will be collected and stored as set out through my university's ethics board and regulations https://forms.office.com/e/ia3i7TaFXm I would hugely appreciate it <3 The Form will be open for a couple of weeks, during which I'll then start going through the data! Hopefully I will be able to share it with you all when it's all done!
