okay, because I haven't seen any posts mentioning specifically where/when to put readmores:

if your writing is longer than 300 words, put a readmore after the first paragraph. please. i am begging you. they are more likely to be reblogged when we aren't worried about inflicting a wall of text onto our unsuspecting followers. the readmore option looks like

start a new paragraph & then click that. it will then look like

if you are on mobile you start a new paragraph & then type :readmore:. it will look like

thank you for coming to my readmore tedtalk or whatever. happy writing

#ao3 #fanfic #idk what else to tag this as that will make it get to the people who need to see it #i keep seeing people post fics that are like 3 times the height of my computer screen #god forbid i see one of those on my mobile #& btw i copypasted one into google docs to check the word count & it was just over 300 words #300 is a lot longer than it the number makes it look #i've seen people post like full chapters too. like i'm talking at LEAST 1k words. more than that even #THAt is a BITCH to scroll past. i'm NOT reblogging that even if i DID end up liking it #so PLEASE just put a readmore. like it really isn't that hard. it's sooo easy to do it & people will reblog your stuff more #people hate the colour of the sky post because it's long as fuck. why do you think they'll suddenly be okay with that for your fic #especially when it's for a fandom they're not in or interested in #this along with mistagging things pisses me off. why are people becoming technology illiterate again #is mistagging things like actually a thing on other sites? like tagging a picture of my dog as spiderman would be okay on insta or what #i just dont get that. if i'm looking something up i don't want other random shit popping up. i'll report & block you every time #anyways yeah people posting their longass fics without readmores is such a big problem for me i'm posting about it #it's just making me more & more annoyed the more it happens #especially since looking up ''tumblr readmore mobile 2023'' took me like 5 seconds #so ''idk how'' isn't really a good excuse for me #not know WHERE to put it in the fic i can sort of understand more but like. dude. just put it after the intro #which is usually the first paragraph #this isn't hard. you guys are just being lazy & kinda fucking annoying tbh #especially with the amount of ''here's how to do readmores'' posts i've seen going around #yet i keep seeing people posting their giant fics without them #okay i'm going to bed now. please just make your fics manageable. like. i'm begging
