•Normalize Fanart for Fanfics Again You Fools•

It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.

Spread the Word :)

I am a bored and curious human being who wants to know what the majority grew up with for their pleasure reading time.

[comment-day]

Comment Day is a celebration of leaving comments on beloved fic! We want both to tell the author what their work means to us, and to appreciate reflecting on works we enjoy! Commenting is a unique feature of fic reading, and we want to have fun with it.

Me: I adore this character. They are my favourite lil dude ever and I would defend them with my life.

Also me: *writes fics in which the same character goes through some of the most heart-wrenching traumatising ordeals I can think of*

My dudes, let your fave Fanfiction writers know you love and miss them.

I literally got my shit together and wrote a new chapter for my 50+ chapter long incomplete fanfiction after not updating in two years, just because I got a new review from a reader who said they missed me and hoped I was okay.

Your reviews matter, we cherish them, and they can bring your fave Fanfiction writers back from the dead.

I'm watching a video on ancient Fanfiction.net drama and the creator is going over all the dumb rules FF.net has that I forgot about (no 2nd person perspective writing, no interactive stories, no explicit 18+ stories, no incorporating song lyrics into your fic, etc, not to mention the systemic problems like the lack of an archival system).

We are so fucking lucky to have AO3 nowadays, you guys.

Fanfiction.net watching me use it for longer than I have in multiple years because AO3 is down

STOP SELLING BOUND FANFICTION

I cannot blame them for pulling their works, in fact I'm proud of them for doing so. Fanfiction is a community of gifting. As authors we write fics and share our works for free. Fanfiction is a weird, fragile, liminal space that can crumble at any time. This fragility needs to be respected.

If you want fanfiction to be around for you to enjoy, then the rules need to be respected!

You can bind fics. You can gift bound fics. DO NOT SELL BOUND FICS!!

Or soon we won't have fanfiction anymore and the world will be much darker for it.

I have polls now ahaaahahhhahahaaaa

[mrshowlsmovingcastle]

Was it just me or when you first started reading fanfiction you thought orphan_account was the most prolific writer ever?

[scarletgray]

they should invent eyesight that doesn't go bad from reading fanfiction on your phone 24/7

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Dear God, I visited fanfiction.net after god knows how long because the author of a fic I was interested in told me that they are updating it faster on ff.net

First of all, I had to wait here for like five minutes

But then it gets worse...

That's a small, tiny paragraph broken with TWO huge-ass ads!

Noooooooo!!!

This is a fucking nightmare!

[ohitsmsn]

I don’t know what I would do without fanfiction😭

That’s it.

That’s the post.

The toughest choice

Ao3 comments: FHDIDJFNDJ I loved this fic so much!!! do you want my first born? because ID GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN

Fanfiction.net comments: Honestly, I’m quite disappointed with the dialogue- it felt very stale to me. How familiar are really you with the source material? Any, I will not be recommending this-
