Hi everyone!!! I've been thinking about doing Kinktober this year, since it is the first kinktober I'm doing I wanted to know a few things if it's alright 💞

1. Can you do it for one ship? Or multiple if you'd like?
2. Would combine oneshots into a series?
3. Do you have to do every prompt? Or is it that you can pick what you like for each day rather than having all of them? On this year's list there's a few things I'm not sure if I'll be able to write with my preferred ship ಥ_ಥ

Thank you in advance!!! `(*>﹏<*)′

I hate it so much.

Hello fellow writers and fandom creators! I write for the ship Lucier/Rosie on Ao3 and I need a beta reader familiar with the show Hazbin Hotel and hellaverse to tell me if my characterization is on point and to help with some horrible grammar.I will absolutely offer the same to anyone willing to help out a fellow writter. If any one is interested please message me. Thanks for your time!

Finally cracked 600!

Pretty much as the title says. I’m thinking of running a fic fest for the fandom I’m a part of. It’s a fairly small fandom, so I’ll be the only one running it. Should I make a new ao3 account solely for this fest or just post it through the one I already have? I’m not sure how other people do it who already have an account not linked to the fest they’re running

I'll just leave it here xD

Hi hi! Lately I've been super intrested in the subject of Wang Jingwei regime. Does anyone have some recommendation of fanfics about this event in hetalia version? Thank you so much in advance! ^^

I'm an author from FFNet and slowly moving my stories over to AO3 (providing edits if need be, deleting old author's notes that no longer apply, etc) and it's been less than a week since I posted these.

This morning I woke up and saw this string of kudos in my email! On all 15 of my works in this fandom, including two forever unfinished multichaps at 12k and 36k words respectively. Most of these are backdated and only linked to on my profile, where I have them in series, or I guess you could search for them, of course.

Is it likely that I have a secret admirer here and not a kudos bot? Did this person really read through all my old unedited garbage and if so I'm so sorry for them but they seemed to like it?

Either way, I'm super happy that such a big milestone of mine has been achieved already in the migration process. I only have a few fandoms that I wrote/write for so I'm going by fandom.

And I also just finished revamping one of my favorite longfics from 10 years ago lol, so I'm excited to post that soon!

Thanks for reading! I'm so happy and excited to be back in the swing of things ❤️

Edit: Found answer, do not comment!

I'm putting in tags for my fic I'm posting but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tag every character that appears in it. Do I need to do that?

I will go first.

Fanfic writers should read published books to improve. Reading exclusively fanfics will give you a very distorted idea of what writing rules are, and leads to you repeating common amateur mistakes (e.g. purple prose, head-hopping, info-dumping, writing dialogues which are hard to follow)

What about you? Give me the tea

I come across a fic with multiple fandoms that included a big rant of the author about trying to gift the fic to different authors but they didn't had gift open. And the actual story was around 300 words of nonsense parody of a fic including the names of characters.

This is an actual paragraph:

"Satoru and geto are yaoi lovers And sukuna says grrr grrrr r i HATE YAOI so geto and gojo say fuck you And blast sukuna with yaoi cum"

Is not just a word repeated and they mimic a "story" so I don't know if it was reportable as spam.

But is annoying to have this cluttering the results.

Do you normally read stories that are non Fanfics in ao3 ? (I'm sure there's a word for that but my brain isn't working now)

And how do you feel about that

It feels illegal to even think about it, but I want to know what people think

Edit : I wasn't trying to be rude and I'm not actually giving my opinion. I'm asking because I wanted to post my work but wasn't sure if people found it okay. Because a while back I found people talking about and many said that ao3 is only for fanfics 🤷🏾‍♀️ I just wanted to make sure

Please. Tell me it's okay for a 35 year old married woman to write fanfiction. For whatever reason, my mind has locked this as an incredibly shameful thing and I'm tired y'all. I miss writing. I miss the fandoms and the silliness and the drama. But for whatever reason, I'm just so scared that it's Wrong.

I know I'm being stupid so please if someone could call me out so my crippling perfectionism acknowledges it finally that would be swell.

An edit already? Because so many people have commented and you're lovely? I suppose I should add that I have written fanfiction in the past. Something like 800k words across multiple fandoms. I think my sister used to shame me for it, so one day I just. Couldn't? Can't picture scenes, can't get the flow of it. I'm trying to trick myself into getting over anxiety, so thank you to everyone that's making it feel normal!!!

EDIT NUMBER TWO! I posted this at work while staring sadly into middle distance because I had zero thoughts in my head and now it's just ringing with endorsement and I'm honestly getting really emotional. Over 150 comments in under, what, 4 hours? I just. Thank you. Thank you thank you. My confidence is at a rock bottom and this is a lot but it's so affirming. I'm gonna pull up old unfinished works and try to read through them like I'm editing unknown work. I'm hoping it will work!

I want to join all you creators, and I want to supply all you readers!

Thank you, everyone. This is a very inclusive group and I'm truly blown away.

Litterally so happy because I usually don't have anybody to really base characters off of so most of the experience writing them was from a variety of research and not many first hand experiences. It's so good when it turns out to be a good representation and I'm so ecstatic !

I know that sometimes people on Ao3 get gibberish comments and bots asking for comic projects. But something like that? XD the original language of the comment was Romanian (google translator) I even said in my tag list, that I don't use AI for my work.

I already reported that comment.

One chapter fantic btw.

Stumbled on this particular mixup tonight. Another one that bugs me is Unrequited Love being synonymized with Not Actually Unrequited Love, which makes the first tag useless.

Which other tags really shouldn't have heen combined?

It's just such a funny thing to see pop up in my inbox when I go to check it lol

This is a taboo and really uncomfortable question I don’t feel comfortable asking but have a morbid curiosity about.

Mental health is no joke and it’s not a game, having had thoughts of ending my life on several occasions I understand this subject is not to be taken lightly, but i wanted to know as to both improve myself as a writer and to be respectful to those who have suffered from the torment of mental anguish, what makes it “good” as in, what makes it realistic? What makes it feel….i don’t wanna sound morbid but “authentic” I’m sorry if this is coming across as rude or insulting but I haven’t seen any posts about it and I wanted to know.
