[mae ☆ @4verxx]

So why did no one tell me how fun it is to write fan fiction. It’s like playing Barbie’s and I can do whatever I want with them omg I love this.

comment more on fics u read cus i swear to god sometimes ur comment can turn an author’s mood around (that’s js what happened to me)

[the party frog @thepartyfr0g]

people being stingy with kudos on ao3 is crazy to me

if i read to the end of the first chapter, i kudos
if i really liked it, i open a private tab and kudos as a guest
if i really REALLY liked it i kudos from every device in my house

SHANE IS NOT ILYA'S WIFE ‼️‼️‼️

[有害無罪 @trungroi2]

Pls comment on the fic you love no matter how long ago they updated because i am going to pull my lazy ass out to continue writing my dropped fic from years ago for the people who kept leaving new comments on it.

[rae @PHANT0MTHIEVE]

ika didn’t care at all😭😭

[💫Esther💫 Mo Ran my wife @LSakura_chan_26]

Ao3 is not social media but the way people treat fics like a fucking webtoon so they only read it like newspaper and not interact with the author that is just some fan like them piss me off so much.

@SuperStr8Broz NOPE I LOVE BUNNY DOWN.

[starr ᢉ𐭩 @coolguy_swag]

some of yall are too comfortable treating wips like they are group projects. trust the process!! let the writers write!!

[r @babie_morrison]

as someone who deadass just started writing fic its been #lowkey discouraging reading everyone & their moms' opinions about what they should/should not do when writing fic so i can only imagine how seasoned authors feel

[kira ♱🦇་༘࿐ @hynjiverse]

can ppl who dont write fics stop talking about what they dont like in fics
if you like the fic, read it, leave a comment or something
if you dont, just close the tab and forget, its not that hard

[MisplacedMetaphor @MisplacedMeta4]

@hudmeiyoks The actor who plays David does an incredible job with little lines showing how locked into Shane and his emotions he is.

We see it in episode 6, his attention is almost fully on Shane, watching his reactions, and his body language.

@dirdiary It is actually becoming super disheartening

[MisplacedMetaphor @MisplacedMeta4]

The convo asking fic writers to please use multiple words other than "says" vs. other people saying, "That makes your writing sound so much worse & more juvenile or distracting." Is sad.
I used to write mostly says, asks, but then found the "words to say instead of said" (1/?)

[MisplacedMetaphor @MisplacedMeta4]

website: https://t.co/et5iUVacvC. And started adding those because as I use tons of dialogue in my fic I personally was getting sick of all the says/asked constantly. I still use it, and try my best to create the scene around movement or other things, but like, I like adding a
