Keep your priorities straight: post fic.

[ladymatt]

see i think it is 100% normal and fine and whatever to be annoyed by other people's terrible takes on your favourite lil guys like god knows i'm a hater when it comes to people being wrong having different opinions than me, but at the end of the day you do gotta remember that this is not a moral issue and simply not that deep. like yeah yeah the horrors but also this is all made up and not real and literally fine and people smashing dolls in a way you personally don't like is nothing to start throwing sand about. in fact starting to throw sand is how you lose

Okay, you know what? After reading this post, I jokingly said we should all just make a pact to reblog it five times a day forever. So I'm gonna do this louder for the people in the back:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

AO3 IS RUN BY FANS (VOLUNTEERS, NO LESS)

AO3 IS PART OF THE NON-PROFIT, ORGANIZATION FOR TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS

AO3 IS NOT OWNED BY ANY COMPANIES AND DOES NOT EARN REVENUE

AO3 OPERATES ON DONATIONS FROM FANS

again:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

We’re back!!

In case you haven’t heard of Malectober, here’s a quick introduction!

As you can see, I’ve decided to switch up some things. Now, there’s 15 days instead of 31, and I’ve also included a set of dialogue prompts.

Now, some rules -

Anything goes. Fics, art, poetry, playlists, edits, anything.

Posting starts from the 1st of October, and you can keep going even after October ends.

Tag all your tumblr posts with #malectober and #malectober2024 and tag this account (@malectober). It will be much easier to find your posts and reblog them to this account if I’m tagged.

If you’re posting on Ao3, make sure to add your fic to the Malectober collection!

AI work is strictly not allowed.

There is no limit on nsfw works. Make the dirtiest nastiest things you can if you want to. Just make sure to put them under a “readmore”!

You can do only dialogue prompts or word prompts, or for an extra challenge combine both! Either combine one dialogue and one word or do one fic per prompt for both lists.

If you have any questions, send them to my askbox

Most importantly, have fun! 🥰

Prompt list in text below the cut:

Dialogue Prompts:

“Are you flirting with me?”

“Save me from this hell.”

“I’ll take care of that.”

“Who are you again?”

“Please, stop.”

“I want to run away.”

“I love you, but-“

“Why is this so tight?”

“You look awful.”

“Can I talk to you? In private?”

“This is so boring.”

“Why don’t you ask him out?”

“I love this song!”

“I do love a good workout.”

“How did you know?”

This is the story: in the holy heart of the world, a heretic kneels down, and entreats the exalted dead for power.

Magnus knows he's good for one thing: he's the most gifted summoner seen in a generation. He can save the world, which is besieged by an ancient terror. In the first steps of his quest, he runs into the one man who might see him safe through it: Alec, a warrior sworn to the faith but put before an impossible choice by his family.

The journey will bind them together in ways neither of them could have imagined.

Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.

And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.

People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.

Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.

Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.

SHADOWHUNTERS 1.01 – The Mortal Cup

[ladymatt]

decidedly unfriendly reminder that fanfiction is written by real people with real feelings for free in their free time. it's a labour of love and something to cherish. if you come across a fic that you don't enjoy, that's totally fine, but it is your due diligence as a fellow fan and decent human being to click away. leaving mean comments, absurd rating systems or harassing writers in their inbox while hiding behind an anonymous icon is not an acceptable manner to behave in any fandom and online space ever. it's disgustingly entitled, wildly disrespectful and only serves to discourage people from sharing their writing in a community that is meant to be fun and supportive. the next time you read something you don't enjoy, stop reading it and move on with your day. read something you like and leave kudos and a nice comment there instead. have some common sense and don't be a fucking asshole. it's not that fucking difficult.

Why does posting for a new fandom feel like walking into a bar and having everyone just stare at you. Like I'm sorry I'm new here pls don't hurt me

[ladymatt]

occasional posts from users

[ladymatt]

Quick question for those of you with sideblogs.

Given the restrictions on what you can do with secondary accounts, such not being able to like/follow/send asks etc., are you ever sorry you didn't just create another primary blog instead?

I'm 99% sure that I'd find the limitations annoying, but I'm curious.

Small Fandom Summer 2024!

I did this last year (see: Small Fandom Summer '23) and it was a lot of fun, so I'm planning on doing it this year. You should do it too!

It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

That's all! It's so easy!

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to do doesn't. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Diversity the fandom ecosystem. Bring joy.

Chapters: 8/9 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood Characters: Magnus Bane, Alec Lightwood Additional Tags: Stuff Summary:

“Darling,” Magnus began, wincing painfully, “I don’t think anything is supposed to be that shade of green.” He rubbed Alec’s tense shoulders as he heard a defeated sigh. “How did green end up on the ceiling, my lovely?” he asked, squinting up at the bright green splatter.

“Some bad things may have happened,” Alec allowed, sounding precipitously close to peevish.
