This can't be just me-

Does anyone else look at the kudos list under fics to see if you recognize anybody?

I will read a fic and see other writers' names or others I recognize from tumblr, and I'm like

Can't be just me

For Anon Ask. I've seen a lot of people giving unerrated fic recs? do you have one?

Yes! I'm currently obsessed with a series called Of Black and Gold by ZahraMaria.

The first fic is Of Black and Gold: the Gathering Storm. It's recently completed and they've already started the next fic in the series, which only has 3 chapters so far, but it already has me hooked!

The Gathering Storm only has 43 kudos and 46 comments (but most of the comments are from me and one other person so not many different people have commented) and it's a shame because it's an amazing fic! It was one of those 'drop everything and run to ao3 when you get the update email' kind of fics.

So yeah... That's my underrated fic rec

** If you end up checking it out, make sure to read the notes at the beginning. It deals with A LOT of heavy topics and there are more trigger warnings in the notes than in the tags.

Fanfiction

Summary: You, (Name: Alia), discover that you can reverse time after an unfortunate incident involving your best friend, Viktor, occurs. What you don't realize is the more you use it, the more destruction you cause. [Set Pre-Arcane. 5 years earlier]

if you enjoy a fic, leave kudos! if you're reading an unfinished fic, leave kudos! if you finish reading a fic, leave kudos! it doesn't matter how long ago it was finished or if it hasn't been updated in years.

kudos is so important to writers. there is nothing worse than having your hits grow, but your kudos stay stagnant. it is a great way to show fic writers your appreciation and thank them for their hard work.

all of us are doing this for free out of our own time.

Y'all.

You all make a DIFFERENCE when you interact (positively) with authors.

If anyone ever doubted how important kudos and comments are, please just check my labels for every interaction I get on AO3.

I tag like this so I can REMEMBER, on the bad days. I'm no big ticket writer like Diane or Neil or Tammy, or caffeinewitchcraft or inkskinned.

But ALL US WRITERS appreciate knowing that you liked something, enough to tell us.

So, Thanks, Nonny, for letting me know you liked it. 🌈❤️🌈❤️

You need to read wolf-king of rome by Whiskey You will love it. New Earth setting fic about Dick and Jason and Dick from his brother's pov. Dick is so casually queer in it. Roy and Dick are either dating or going to gay bars together. The Mia incident is brought up. I'm not even half way through and I thought of you. I had to check to see if you wrote it.

Thank you so much for the recommendation! I read it last night after I saw this, but I didn't have time to respond until now! (or leave a nice comment for them!) It was super nice to read, one of the better things I've gotten my hands on in the past few weeks! I'm super touched you thought of me! This piece (if I'm not mistaken) is written by @mysterycitrus ! They did a great job! <3

NEW RULE: If you are a fan artist who takes commissions or has a patreon, OR you're a customer who's commed an artist via either means- you don't get to stand on your soapbox and scream about how fan writers should never ever by any means accept money for fanfics ever because ITZ ILLEGUL!!!

[wrengaunt]

Me with every @noxxytocin ‘s fics. *aggressively clicking on it 1038372 times*

pulled an all-nighter and then promptly passed out, i drew this sometime and have no recollection but i think i get what i was going for

[wanderingcas]

people are really looking at stats to determine if a fic is worth reading? no wonder fics that never got popular at the first drop never had a chance 💀

[smoosnoom]

do u ever get a comment on a fic thats just so sweet that ur like Maybe slaving over 24k of fanfiction was worth it for user SprinkleTrashcan2012 to leave a three paragraph comment

[worrynoodle]

This might be my own insecurity and history with bullying talking but if I found out people were talking about my fic(s) behind my back I would immediately presume it's not a good thing.

Use the comment section, include the writer, hop into their asks on here to ask about their fics! (Also maybe ask permission for a discord discussion beforehand)

They aren't like famous, detatched influencers or YouTubers or something, they're artists who put a LOT of time and effort into their work.

Like I go absolutely nuts when my favorite writers follow me back on here because sometimes I feel like they're famous in my eyes but that's not really how fandom works and I'm so so so grateful for that but we have to FIGHT to keep it that way.

"should we tell authors on ao3 when we have discord conversations about their fics" i don't speak for everyone here but if y'all ever find a group chat discussing my fics you can should must and WILL send me screenshots of the whole damn thing. inflate my ego. gimme
