As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you

I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you

I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you

I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase

I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all

I love you

th, the blorbos from my head

(from this pre-canon svsss au that's been haunting me)

Text under the cut:

Image 1:

Qing Jing Peak Lord, Fu Anchen.

Qian Cao Peak Lord, Mo Anxia.

Bai Zhan Peak Lord, Jiang Anying.

Emma/Fu Tianci.

Mo Xia.

Image 2:

Fu Anchen & Mo Anxia announcing their marriage after disappearing from the sect for 6 months.

Jiang Anying after hearing the news:

"no marriage for Anying...?"

(spoiler: they all get married)

she [Mo Anxia] wears her ring in a chair under her robes actually

(so does Jiang Anying)

(Fu Anchen insisted on the rings)

Image 3:

(disclaimer: used those art pose references I had saved in my phone from three thousand years ago and no longer know where they're from or who made them. sorry)

Fu Anchen, first time winning against Jiang-shidi: "C'mon shidi, admit defeat already"

Jiang Anying, discovering something new about himself (aka, so horny he can't speak): hgn

Mo Xia, to Fu Tianci: And for how much longer does shijie intend to wallow in misery?

Fu Anchen: dragged her stupid shidi to Qian Cao after helping him with some sex pollen

Jiang Anying, the stupid shidi in question: about to pass out. "...hi Mo-shimei"

Last image:

In a poly relationship (of sorts):

Jiang Anying (aromantic) — Fu Anchen (some flavor of demi, idk) — Mo Anxia (asexual)

JAY ← sexual relationship* → FAC ← romantic relationship* → MAX ← queerplatonic relationship* → JAY

*there's some overlap, of course. this is just a simplification lol

hey dear ao3 reader, add this to your site skin and be rid of (most) ai generated fics forever

.blurb:has(a[href$="/tags/Created%20Using%20Generative%20AI"]),

.blurb:has(a[href$="/tags/AI-Generated%20Text/works"]),

.blurb:has(a[href$="/tags/Made%20by%20AI/works"]),

.blurb:has(a[href$="/tags/made%20with%20ai/works"]),

.blurb:has(a[href$="/tags/made%20with%20character%20ai/works"]) {

display: none !important;

}

Also here's the ao3 official tutorial on site skins

And the tutorial i used to figure this out bc i dont actually understand coding all that much but i am motivated enough to learn by disgust apparently

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.
