I'm okay at writing and I wrote this in an hour so don't expect much lol

pessimistic as it may be, I'm surprised ao3 has no works tagged "temporary character growth"

seeing a character's powers for the first time and knowing exactly how ao3 authors are going to inappropriately use it in smut fics

i haven't been on ao3 in months what the fuck happened

Guys I swear to god the ao3 curse is real! Yesterday I was cooking, I was absolutely COOKING with this fic that I have been struggling to finish. The ideas were flowing and the word count was steadily rising. Then this morning I woke up to find out my dog had broken his tail. Istg this happens every time I'm working on a fic either I get sick or he gets hurt and vice versus(one time I literally broke my arm(the dominant one btw)). Idk man its just very convenient that bad stuff always happens when I'm writing a fic. I need answers! Who are the creators of Ao3 and why are they cursed? What have they done to upset the fanfic gods?

Nevermind, false alarm guys! It's back up!

Is Ao3 down or is my wifi just shit? Please I simply cannot function without my little gay men/found family tropes!

No…. No, he would never miss

There is nothing better in this world than reading smut on the beach

I have been wanting to get into MHA fanfiction but I don’t know where to start, does anyone have any recommendations?

It is that time!

ao3 is doing donations! Go donate to your favorite fanfic site!

Some new ao3 author: Idk, I’m nervous about posting fics, especially without a beta, plus they’re pretty short…

Me, sitting atop my pile of 20+ mini fics, 90% of them unbetad and cringe: DO IT!

Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth

no way ppl are using ai to write ao3. what happened to being a tortured writer. what happened to blood on the page. what happened to the ao3 curse. people used to get run over, have their houses burned down, break their entire spines and they still put in the work to finish a chapter. fuck you, using ai. y’all are weak

I want you to know that everytime I write a unhinged tag I think "is that too much?"

And then I remember you exist.

Much love to my unhinged feral mutual with no filter ❤️

I hope your fiance gives you mind blowing head. You deserve it 😌💕

You just have such a wonderful way of putting things in your tags and I cannot stop thinking about this quote so I just had to make this… I’m going to keep it on my wall and tap it every time the incest anons rear their head.

Six of crows. My first ever uncooked ahh fanfic on ao3 you will always be famous <33

authors!!

quick question...

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

I wake up to see that AO3 was down, is now back up with some safety stuff??? I'm assuming to avoid DDoS attacks, and for some reason the font size is big for me without a way to change it. But at least my babygirl is alive and doing well so I dont mind.

My life support has returned!!!

My life support (ao3) needs fixing again (is down atm) but I'm feeling the effects already (I need it please my wife ao3 come back my love)

Someone sabotaged my life support (DDoS attack on ao3) I'm being assassinated from my life source (take care my precious and come back soon) this targeting will not go unnoticed (this (the DDoS) is clearly directed at all the gays and girlies (the people of the ao3))

My life support (ao3) needs fixing again (is down atm) but I'm feeling the effects already (I need it please my wife ao3 come back my love)

Help me find a fic

Okay so it's a Dream SMP multiverse/time travel fic that starts with Tommy or Tubbo in a kinda time loop and they try to fix things and they eventually realise that the other is doing it too.

Each chapter end with a numbered list of each timeline in the author notes.

They continue trying to get the Best Possible Outcome and sometimes only one of them is "awake" and then they find the best sequence of events that lets them play around with it a little.

Then they notice some other stuff happening that didn't happen in the original timeline and it turns out ConnorEatsPants is sometimes Awake too.

More people "wake up" and they start to end up in alternate timelines and universes and it gets revealed that the world tree is under maintenance by the gods so they've put everything in time loops and Tommy and Tubbo are the "pillars" keeping the SMP stable (which is why one or both of them are always "awake").

The "branch" of the tree they are on contains all the Minecraft stuff with Steve and Alex being the oldest and they are a part of an offshoot of which Aphmau is the oldest.

It gets explained that Dream will never "wake up" at risk of causing problems to the world tree (which has already happened to other universes and beloved media characters, like Billy and Mandy)

As they start crossing over a bunch all the characters become OP in different ways and there's a bunch of found family and fluff. Puffy gets a pocket dimension that she fills with ships of all kinds (like The Black Pearl and The Enterprise). Tommy and Tubbo both end up with a couple hundred copies of the real discs and love to use them to me with Dream. Tommy collects music and gets lots of fire and lightning powers. Tubbo impresses Batman.

At one point they end up in an Elevator that sends them to different places and times within the timelines and they basically just vibe and they meet Manhunt!Dream and help him out. They meet a Fundy and (someone else? Jack/Quackity) who try to warn them about something but get cut off when The Elevator leaves. They brush it off as a part of the canon timeline they'd interrupted.

After Ranboo shows up and wakes up (Tubbo feels weird about the whole marriage thing in the canon timeline) Dream eventfully find out about the time loops/dimension travel and hides messages in Ranboo's code for himself and he almost becomes a big problem for the world tree but they stop him when they realise, after which the God in charge of maintaining their branch pops by again to try and work out a solution and they suggest waking up Manhunt!Dream.

It works.

When Fundy wakes up some of the Older Crew randomly appear in front of him and he tries to warn them about Dream. He gets cut off.

read a fic on a03 earlier (before mantinence), took a test, back for lunch... just in time for the site to go back online for a little lunchtime reading. my timing is rather joyous today xD

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying
