#ao3 jokes

[paigegonerogue]

I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.

chat i cannot be doing this today, good lORD-

i was reading sbi ao3 (specifically “TommyInnit’s Services for Villains, Vigilantes, and Various Other Vagabonds” by I_Have_An_Alibi and @scorpionoesit; it’s amazing, you should read it) while in class and one of my friends (who also reads fanfiction) jokingly said “haha called out, you’re reading ao3”

AND TWO OF THE OTHER STUDENTS AT THE TABLE FULLY SCRUCHED THEIR NOSES and were all like “eww fanfiction”

and then there were like what is it?

and because i’m not telling them it’s dsmp fanfiction (im going to be exiled from society otherwise), i just said found family and they were all like ew, weird

WELL

FRICK YOU GUYS

IM SAD FOR YOU BECAUSE YOULL NEVER KNOW THE JOY OF FANFICTION

Never insult ao3 in front of me

when 3AM rolls around but sleeping no longer matters because you just reached the peak angst in a 65 chapter fanfic

AO3 is gonna explode

*asserts my dominance by finding the font AO3 uses for written works and using it for assignments*

Writing to publish is the same

People worrying if their fic is too self indulgent like....... that is the point of fanfiction. You are supposed to indulge . Every fic is self indulgent

"AO3 doesn't need a "dislike" button"

Um, actually, it already has one. Depending on your specs, it might look a little different but over all it looks kinda like this:

You can find it at the corner of your screen, which corner is dependent on your layout.

Anyway, if you dislike a fic, you can hit this Dislike Button until the fic goes away. It really is pretty amazing actually.

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

If you use goodreads like an AO3 comment thread, I will love it.

To my readers:

If your comment is long and rambling and full of quotes you enjoyed, I will love it.

If your comment is full of story related questions, I will love it.

If your comment is a single sentence, I will love it.

If your comment is a single emoji, or a string of them, I will love it.

If you comment, I will love it. It's that simple.

Gonna start doing the fanfic version of Oscar bait, where I write stuff I know the people who post fic recommendations like so they put my stuff on their lists

people on here interacting with neil gaiman is so. ur like this cannot possibly a real human being off anon!!! sitting down typing out an ask like that knowing the creator of the work will see it. and then ur like well dont be an asshole maybe it's just a 14 year old engaging in fandom for the first time! but then u click on the blog to see its a 35 year old actual real adult who went hello mister GAYman (hihihaha) thank u so much for making my coffeeshop au background relationship / rarepair endgame / slow burn true love sunshine sunshine protector dynamics of my dreams come true! u really had crowley say SMUT 👍🥳🤣🙌 but why was there conflict :/sometimes people argued and???? was that really necessary??? pls tell me rn that this is in fact a happy ending fic scenario otherwise I will have to kill myself immediately in exceedingly violent fashion and it will be ur fault (if michael sheen and david tennant don't kiss again in s3 u will feel my wrath. i know ur home address) anyways. are u aware of the omegaverse trope 😜 just blink twice if that is something we can look forward to in s3 😝😂🤭 also crowley wore different clothes during different episodes?? is that a continuity error?? or will that be explained in s3?

Looking through your Ao3 bookmarks and seeing that little “This has been deleted, sorry!” is like finding a gravestone, but the writing’s too worn down to read what it was standing for anymore.

What were you, Bookmark #336... What stories did you tell? Which words were it that once left a mark on my soul?  *touches my laptop screen like it’s text from an ancient ruin*

Cowabummer.

one of my favourite things about AO3 tags is their dedication to canon accuracy, even when that means it devolves into complete mayhem like

Percy was not named with a fan following in mind, this was clearly a running gag but it's his name so they have to use all of it
