We need to give fic writers a gun I’m so serious

[remi 🔑💍🏒🦈 @chibibinch]

btw you can turn off permissions to add your fics to collections. don’t let this idiot tarnish your fic

[summer 🏒 hollanov hhn agenda @prospectconv]

do you guys talk to your partners about fanfiction? my bf will ask me what i’m up to but idk how to explain that i’m reading stories random people made up about these characters

[kaylee ٠࣪⭑ @marvelsmando]

are you normal or do you hear a song and immediately associate it with a fictional character

[Queen Liza🩷🤍💙 @KrystalWolfyAlt]

Loreplay

[iona #FREE🇵🇸 @prknsiona]

being SO invested in a ship is crazy bcs you’ll really find yourself connecting them to any song if you’re delusional enough

[🍉subobscura💚 angry knitter 🎧 @neocosmology]

i don't like the influx of normies coming into the space made by weirdos and asking what's up with all this weird shit. and I definitely don't like the entitlement of minors coming into adult fandoms and demanding we cater to them by making everything kid friendly

[Obsessed With Obsession @naofaith_scri]

Fanfic deserves the same respect as fanart

[ؘ @ummrys]

i think that with the new wave of popular fanfics being optioned for traditional publishing deals, a lot of people have forgotten that fanfic is a labor of love. it's not perfect bc it isn't supposed to be. it's a passion project, not a product

[Maliha @CaffeinatedLiha]

How do I find a book that’s exactly like my favorite book but also different.

[「ʀᴏʙ𝐛𝐞𝐞」 @kylobees]

one of my fav fics updated and I did NOT realize this was going on in the chapter index

[em!! :-) @bywishbone]

i used to never read incomplete fics but now im reading like 7 and waiting for new chapters is lowkey giving me a will to live

[remi 🔑💍🏒🦈 @chibibinch]

there’s people out there that don’t know the feeling of becoming mutuals with your favourite fic authors and I feel so sorry for those people

[debs 🏒🩸 IWTV/TVL spoilers @ilyaslestat]

i am never leaving ao3

ao3 has been under a lot of pressure lately. more users, more traffic, more reports, more confusion. which is great in one way because fandom is alive and people want stories, but it also means we all need to breathe and remember how the site actually works.

this is for everyone. old readers, new readers, writers, lurkers, people who just discovered fanfiction last week, and people who have been here since dial up.

let us talk about how to exist peacefully on ao3.
