hey uh new type of ao3 spam comment just dropped. (I know it's spam because the fic they left this comment on . doesn't have chapters. lmfao). Report this kinda comment as spam and don't take it personally it is literally recycled bullshit

[alexandersimpleton]

Me checking on one of my beloved ao3 fics that hasn't been updated since 2017

[alexandersimpleton]

the holy grail types of fanfic

[alexandersimpleton]

Why would I write when I could imagine my characters going through the story and then get upset when a copy of the work doesn’t magically appear in front of me

[alexandersimpleton]

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

[alexandersimpleton]

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

[alexandersimpleton]

me as a writer

[alexandersimpleton]

“you’re so quiet” yeah i’m rewriting the same 3 sentences in my head while imagining a dramatic betrayal between fictional people. i’m BUSY

[alexandersimpleton]

a comment a day keeps the insanity at bay

[alexandersimpleton]

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.

[alexandersimpleton]

This is a sign for you to write that self-indulgent fic

[alexandersimpleton]

sometimes…..fictional characters…….don’t need to name their children after dead people…….

[alexandersimpleton]

finding an error in someone else's fic: awe. we are all human - this is totally understandable and doesn't bother me whatsoever. it is almost endearing to know that others are not perfect, and in their excitement to share, they made a small mistake.

finding an error in your own fic: a merciful death is too kind for me. i deserve to be burnt on a pyre or publicly executed at dawn

It make little edits of Fred sometimes :)

Being in a tiny fandom sucks because you are the ONLY one hyper fixating on your blorbo and you FUCKING NOTICE

gentle reminder that “gay panic” is not a cutesy way of describing a gay character freaking out over another character or their sexuality. gay panic is a legal defense tactic used in the US until very recently to get homophobes out of facing consequences for killing or assaulting queer people. it is neither cute nor funny.

if you didn’t know this, that’s ok, now you do! proceed accordingly.
