@tainted_ashes Happy to help!! It's something I've done for works I've put on hiatus and want to heavily edit... Putting the works in a priv collection and then taking them out when ready hasn't been a hassle for me, either
When I was a teenager, it was always understood that I was not allowed in adult spaces online (SFW or NSFW). That was for my safety but also the comfort of every adult present. But like all teens, I lied and pretended to be 18. Everyone knew this happened.
So it was understood that any interaction I had with an adult was purely my fault. I wasn't supposed to be there.
Somewhere along the line, we took the accountability out of that. We decided draconian measures like age verification and data harvesting should replace common sense and personal responsibility.
It really peeves me that teenagers can enter adult spaces and interact how adults do, then when it's favorable to them, retreat into "I'm a minor btw"
Some kids get away with doing really awful things to adults because of the minor defense.
Minors should not have access to adult spaces but the platforms taking on the role that parents should be doing makes it worse for everyone.
Writing tip: Dialogue isn’t just characters swapping information. Let them dodge questions, lie, flirt, provoke, misunderstand, or insist “I’m fine” while clearly being VERY not fine. What they refuse to say can be just as powerful as what they do.

Not to add to the discourse, but…
It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
i just saw the words "grandma get off of ao3" look. ao3 was created nearly 20 years ago. grandma CREATED ao3. grandma created ffnet. grandma wrote spirk (k/s if you like. or even. the premise) fanfic. have some fucking respect for grandma.
Writing tip: Your characters don’t see a room. They see what matters to them.
One notices the exits. One spots the expensive furniture. One sees the person avoiding eye contact.
Same room. Three completely different characters revealed without explaining a thing.

Media literacy in fandom today is projecting yourself onto a character, knowing little about them, using hc as facts, going into canon discussions, and yelling at everyone, including the author, for making them do things you don't like.
post trf sherlock's attitude towards john changed a lot. before trf sherlock was dismissive of their closeness "why do u care what they say abt me?" & laughing while using john as a labrat for his experiment whereas after trf he was PINING and kissing the ground john walked on.
