Guess who just posted for the first time on AO3?

By accident Kara ended up in the future and met milf Lena. Now she's back and needing to face present Lena.

It's short, it's silly, and it's inspired by @sango-blep comic!

Me: dangling each of my Google Docs in front of my muse one by one like little cat toys on strings My Muse: 🙄💅

Coming into 2023 feeling a bit like a fainting Victorian lady, surrounded by concerned AO3 authors waving smelling salts (Dreamling fics) under my nose

TBF this picture also represents how I feel after reading the fics

Dick 9 times out of 10 failing to hide a severe injury from the rest of the batfam because without fail when he’s tired or drugged or generally not firing on all cylinders his native accent comes out as thick as the day he met Bruce.

Bruce: Dick come down for a check up I saw you take that hit for Tim.

Dick, halfway towards the cave exit and still going, in the quietest voice possible: im fine

Bruce: Say squirrel and you can leave.

Dick:

Bruce:

Jason:

Tim:

Damien:

Dick: …skweeerrehl.

Jason: Get him boys.

Jason Todd babysitting baby Damian.

Jason looked around as Damian sat next to him. The little baby stared at the man with a blank stare.

Jason (rubbing Damian's chubby cheeks with his hand): Tiny baby. Precious. Soft. You are a cute baby.

Baby Damian smiled then giggled.

Jason: I can't believe you share his DNA, or her DNA or her father's DNA.

Jason booped Damian's nose making the baby giggle and cover his face.

Jason: All right, got that out my system. Let's go play in the dirt.

Jason picked up Damian and took him outside.

Jason: Battled my brother, taking care of my dad's secret son, getting paid. It's gonna be a good year.

Damian (happy): Ah!

Jason: Thank you.

[2023] TOP 20 PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such.

The numbers under each rank indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last year's (Oct. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. The gray numbers in parenthesis indicate how much fanworks it gained since last year.

The data for this year and last year's rankings were taken while logged in, so lcoked fanworks are included in the count.

A few web series like Critical Role and Dimensions 20 released audio-only versions of their works too, but I left them out since they were listed was a web series on ao3 and more known as one too.

Cabin Pressure has also been left off the list this time since its podcast format was only released in 2019, years after it aired on the radio.

All nonfiction podcasts have also been excluded (Not that there were many), because with RPFs, it’s hard to tell if the fic in question is just based on the podcast or because of the things the person has done outside of it. Last year, I accidentally included The Misfits in the list since I didn't realize from its description that it was nonfiction.

The Two Princes (Podcast) ranks 21st in the rankings this year, and actually ranked 20th last year when the rankings are adjusted to exclude Cabin Pressure and The Misfits.

The College Tapes is actually a spinoff of The Bright Sessions.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

You know the worst thing? The worst thing is when you’re reading a fic, and it’s really good and you’re enjoying it and there’s a sequel that you’re planning to read next, and it’s one of the few fics you can even find for this trope because it’s a bit obscure, and then

And THEN

Right at the last chapter, nay, the last PARAGRAPH

They make it incest

And you realize you forgot to read the fucking tags

And like, ok, you noticed there were some weird vibes. Siblings don’t usually spend that much time talking about each other’s appearances. But you’ve read a lot of fic in your time and some authors just like to remark on that stuff, and it’s not weird when they do it because why would it be, they’re siblings, obviously it’s not a romantic thing

Except this time, in this fic, it IS and you didn’t notice and now you’re having to debate whether to read the next installment ANYWAY because seriously there is NOTHING ELSE in the tag. You’ve read it all. Except this. And you decide not to read it because it’s rated M and you may have few lines but watching siblings fuck is one of them, and you walk away disappointed and unfulfilled and there’s STILL nothing else in the tag for you to read.
