#AO3 bookmark no 10

[a-had-matter]

any aftg fans out there willing to do a fic exchange with me on ao3??

cause there are hardly enough long Kandrew fics out there, and I'd write them myself but it's not the same, and I've searched ao3 and practically read every kandrew fic and it's a craving that I cannot satisfy. So if anyone could do me the favor of writing some, I'll yank my ass out my writers block and write you a fic of whatever in this fandom of around the same length

Ao3 is down

[hiuythn]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "hiuythn "?

oooo you've got me scrounging through my 1501 bookmarks now, this is going to lead me on so many sidequests, i'm going to end up rereading so many and never get back to you HAHAH

top 10 in no particular order:

lies your captain told you - waldorph - star trek aos - spirk

way down we go - xiaq - harry potter - drarry

sugar cookies - aloera - bnha - kiribaku

what we fought for - metisket - khr - multi/gen

onfindan - astolat - merlin - merthur

the crown of the summer court - astolat - merlin - merthur

atlas - distractedKat - star trek aos - spirk

running on air - eleventy7 - harry potter - drarry

performance in a leading role - mad_lori - sherlock - johnlock

tongfang - the feels whale (miscellea) - svsss - bingqiu

as for my name, it's just a mix of the letters in my name :)

(if anyone can unscramble it i'll write them a fic)

Actual hell is when you like a popular character in a quiet fandom so there is still very little new content being made for them but you can't even complain because that character still has it better than the actual minor characters

privating all my old bookmarks so i can comment on one (1) fic and wow it's like a history book of every fandom ive been in. wow. i hate it. also why am i so on and off with naruto there's like 3 separate periods so far where i save a couple naruto fics and then go to something else for a while what is happening

hi there! welcome to today's daily lesson in how to use ao3! your public ao3 bookmark notes and tags are, in fact, public. and the author is capable of seeing them!

some discussion questions to consider:

is posting a literal numerical rating and judgement the most polite thing you could put into this public note that the author can see?

is it possible to, while online, perhaps keep your judgement either to yourself or to your private bookmarks?

is posting a note explaining what you didn't like about the fic something that you are required to do, or is it possible to not do that?

just started twist and shout im about to be sooo insufferable about this

[starsignchaser]

y’all i have made 53 bookmarks on ao3 in the month of march… this months fic rec list is gonna go craaaaazy

[teaandinanity]

What OTP True actually does: shows fics that have ONLY that relationship tag. What OTP True would do in my perfect world: automatically filter out every fic that has any of the attached character tags for the OTP showing up in ANOTHER relationship tag.

hello! i am in desperate need for ao3 fics so i've decided to ask u for some recommendations. preferably wolfstar or jegulus (or both) but i would also be interested in a drarry fic if u have any recs of that.

these r some of the ones ive already read:

literally all of ur hp works

choices

kill your darlings

atyd

art heist baby!

drugs and surgical scrubs

thank you <3

lol sure i will do my best but keep in mind that this is not a fic rec blog bc i. do not read enough fic to like...provide a wide selection. this year especially i have not been reading v much fanfiction so most of my recs will probably be repeats of the fics that i always suggest when people ask me for recs lmao

(side note u can also look thru the #fic recs tag on my blog + my bookmarks on ao3!)

anyway. u will have 2 excuse the repetition but here is a list of some of my faves:

all the lonely people by superloonyluna @superloonyluna (wolfstar)

last of the summer sun by superloonyluna @superloonyluna (wolfstar, jily, dorlene, regulus/emmeline) [this one is a wip but it is. one of my absolute favorite stories <3]

the son and heir of nothing in particular by aeridi0nis @steelycunt (wolfstar)

the way we look like animals by dykesiriusblack @dykefever (j/r/s)

bury a friend by theinvisiblemuseum @theinvisiblemuseum (wolfstar, jegulus, pandalily, dorlene, emmary)

kept in cages by sweet_s0rr0w @sweet-s0rr0w (drarry)

notes on a resurrection by newleaves (drarry)

of memories and milk thievery by moonymoment @mayescapade (wolfstar)

astra inclinant by eleventy7 (scorpius malfoy/james sirius potter...i know this isn't one of the ships u asked for but just. trust me)

soup-pocalypse and the great curry cataclysm by squadofcats (drarry)

dear your holiness by mollymarymarie @mollymarymarie (wolfstar)

that's the art of getting by by sarewolf @sarewolf (wolfstar)

[sleeplesstories]

For the fic recs ask game:

📆 💯 and 🛳️ ?

📆 A fic you’d re-read 10 years from now

I have no idea if I'll be into the same stuff I'm currently into in 10 years, but who knows 👀. I think that full on AU's are a bit easier to come back and re-read because familiarity with the original setting, world and plot points usually aren't as important, so I'd say one of those.

Well, specifically this one (big surprise):

Of City Boys and Southerners by Hammocker, SocialDeception

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

you don't fare well without me by realpoutydadsurvives (brainwitchletty)

I love how immersive and intense this one felt! It really kept me on the edge of my seat and I think this might have been of the fics that started to properly sell me on Chreon lol.

Also:

Ties that Bind by SocialDeception

It manages to weave so many flashbacks and events together in a way that still feels really cohesive and connected! I also feel like the writing style just meshed really well with the overall structure and format of the fic too.

🛳️ A fic that brought you aboard a new ship

fonulyn's nivaneddy fics! Tbh I didn't even know who Piers was when I started reading RE fics since I hadn't been too familiar with anything post re4 at the time. It's such a cute ship and I'm glad I decided to give it a chance since there are a lot of wonderful fics for it <33

[cesium-sheep]

dear ao3

sorry for marking fics for later so rapidly you have to stop me occasionally for fear of ddos, I appreciate you looking out for everyone and I promise I'm neither a robot nor acting maliciously but I'll wait anyway

love sheepy

[samisnotlegend]

Don’t be mean????

[cloud-based-and-rainpilled]

I just wanna finish this goddamn fic I’m three weeks behind on but I’m drowning with work and still mentally ill aaaaaaa
