Can i have a check of Mickey with They/Them, It/its and void/voids/voidself

Sure thing!

Wait a second, I think I see Mickey! Yep, that’s definitely Mickey. Do you see them? They’re the one sitting by themself with their headphones on. I wonder what they’re listening to? Have you met Mickey before? No? Well, you’ll have to talk with it sometime. I really think you and it would get along nicely. I’ve only spoken with it a few times, but it seems like a nice person. You don’t see it? It’s the one in the brown chair. Yep, that’s it. Oh, I’m not sure if that bag is voids. I would assume so, since it’s under voids chair. Oh no, I hope that isn’t voids bag, because void is leaving without it! Quick, let’s go catch up with void and let void know there’s a bag under voids table. That way, if it is voids bag, void can go get it. Hey! Mickey!

hi its strawberry again, were trying out a new name, can you call us daniel? pronouns you can use are it its, void voids, bun buns, star stars, he him

Yeah ofc Daniel!

Yooo! It's Daniel! It's so cool, I hope Daniel knows that! I don't remember way to much about Daniel, but void has a really cool anon signoff!

I wonder if Daniel has read a cool book or anything like that recently? I'll ask bun later! But also, maybe Daniel hasn't and that's 100% ok!!!

Daniel is like, so cool. I know I've said that about star a lot this check, but I hope Daniel knows it's true! Daniel is just, so amazingly cool!

I think Daniel's been on this blog for quite a while! I'm glad he's still sticking around for as long as Daniel wants too, Daniels really cool and a joy to interact with?

Anyway! I hope Daniel has a great day and that it makes sure that void takes good care of starself!

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

me: I have GOT to get weirder!

also me when I do get weirder: *visibly shaking* I'm going to be killed with hammers by everyone for being a freak.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Can I get a pronoun check with the name Hazama, and the pronouns snake/snakes, void/voids, and smile/smiles? Default check is fine, I'm a fairly new alter so I don't know what I like yet.

Oh look it's Hazama ! Snake is so cool, I should ask void if smile wants to go shopping with us! Snake is the best at finding sales! I don't really know much about void though! I think it would be cool if I knew snake better. Anyway, I hope void has a great day and takes care of smileself.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
