In Hell, the Simultaneous Translators Are Swiss by Gramarye

The nations have lost their ability to communicate with each other in any language other than their official languages. Canada and Switzerland, as nations with multiple official languages, have been pressed into service as simultaneous translators for EU meetings. But how will they react when a desperate Italy begs for help to convey a message that he can no longer say on his own? (Germany/Italy, implied France/England)

I love fics where Vash is just going >:( the entire time. Like yes I will help you. But I will not enjoy it!

Editor T here.

Only four things left before the major upload is complete. I recommend you all freshen up on the fics before we post them.

We should be done by the end of July, if not earlier. We apologize for taking too long to post anything.

The past few months have been hard on Father R, and although school has ended for me and Henchman A, Father R is dealing with some financial issues. It should be settled soon, but in the meantime, we'd like to sincerely thank every last one of you for your patience:

(Sorry for the tags and 98 followers is alot-)

There are an unreasonable amount of A03 kudoers and followers so I won't be able to shout out you guys, but do know we appreciate you all just as much.

Remember to drink water, eat food, get some sleep, and feed the birds while we are working. We'll see you guys sometime around the end of the month. And I personally cannot wait for you guys to see the new background for our Tumblr account that Ace made.

You are an amazing artist Ace, and once again, we are really happy to have you on board.

I AM ONCE AGAIN HAVING TO FILE A DMCA TAKE DOWN NOTICE FOR SOME RANDOM WEBSITE PUBLISHING?? MY?? UNFINISHED?? FANFIC??

[aro-luigi]

Im actually so nervous to upload the last part to my fic

Cuz that means it's officially over and

I don't want that to happen????

[dr-zeddy]

The Fanfic is online! :D

The first 7 chapters of the Volcano Manor story-arc are now readable at Archive of Our Own~

The Crucible Rebellion

(it's still a working title, IDK how to call this arc or the fic at all ;; I hope you like it! )

How to gain readers on ao3:

AO3 does not have an algorithm so there are essentially 4 ways people can come across your fic:

1) The front page when they are searching the ship/fandom. While it can be filtered to kudos/hits etc, it defaults to the time that you've uploaded.

2) Searching tags. Again, it defaults to time uploaded. However, if people are looking for something specific, that's how they'll find it.

3) Promo. This is generally self-led at the start, on social media platforms.

4) Reccomendations. Usually, this comes later.

Tips:

1) In small fandoms, when you upload doesn't really matter because you're likely to stay on the front page for a long time.

However, in larger fandoms and ships - including One Direction and Larry - it's faster paced. From other sources and my own experience, the best time to upload is between 1pm-7pm UTC, Sunday-Thursday. The worst day to upload is Friday. More users are on at these times. I will come to it later.

2) Tag everything. Everything. Sure, a lot of people ignore tags, however, there are people who search out tags.

Personally, I have a favourite tag, and it's something an element that a lot of fics have but they never tag it. So, when I search for it, only a few hundred fics come up, when it reality thousands should.

Things you should tag vaguely sorted highest priority to least - kind of:

- Fandom and ship name. Obviously these are the most searched for tags. Make sure you get them right. If your fic gives equal time to over ships, include them all. A way to determine if it should be added is to determine whether anyone in that relationship gets their own POV, or if they get scenes without the characters of the other ship being present.

- The main trope: Friends to lovers, exes to lovers, Idiots in love, established relationship etc. You might find there are extra options, I.e Enemies to lovers and Enemies to friends to lovers. If your fic is both, add them both.

- The general vibe (Cant think of the right term): Fluff, angst, smut, PWP (porn without plot/plot what plot), hurt, comfort etc. You will find multiple options for most of these, I.e Angst and Fluff and Smut, Angst and Fluff, Smut and Fluff etc. Again, use multiple but keep it relevant to the fic. For example, if your fic is more fluff with only a hint of angst, don't add 17 different tags that include angst and vice versa.

- Canon side characters and side relationships. When you're uploading you have the option of putting the ship, only do this with the main ship. However, you can put side ships in the tags. I'd especially recommend doing this if it's a rare pair as readers of rare pairs are desperate to read anything that includes their ship.

- Smaller tropes. These aren't the main tropes, but things that happen in the fic, I.e one bed, found family, fake dating (if it's not the main premise of the fic).

- If it's smut/kink, tag everything that happens in it because people will search these tags. If there is rimming, tag it. If there is humiliation, tag it.

(there are also a lot of things you should tag as warnings, but I'm not going to include those here)

3) Self-promo. If you have a platform already, you can promote there. For example, you may have a large Twitter following for your fandom, if you start writing fics, it might be enough to only post there.

However, if you have no platform, start on Tumblr. There are likely fic tracking tags for your fandom/ship. Theses aren't only helpful as people may search them theirselves, but they are often connected to accounts that will reblog your fic. Find those and use them. Tumblr let's you add 30 tags but only the first 20 will work when you search - so if you want to add ones that you don't expect to be searched for, but to add more information, put these after the tracking tags.

Design and include a mood board. You will find a lot of these on Tumblr. Canva is a great site to use to create one.

4) Generally recommendations come once you're more established, however, once you get them, reblog/retweet them.

On Tumblr, thank them for the rec in the tags.

If it is on Twitter, unless you have something really important to add, thank them in a comment and then retweet it rather than quote tweet. This means if people like it, the likes are going to the orignal tweet, rather than you. This might just be personal preference, however, I just think it's more polite. They're the ones who took the time to write it, they should get the likes (again, if there is something you really want to add, you can quote tweet but make sure you thank them as well).

Hope that helps! If you'd like me to expand on any of the above, feel free to send a DM or anon!

This fic was originally published the day before cc/Technoblade uploaded his video announcement about his own diagnosis and I felt the timing was way too close for it to be appropriate. Even though the Technoblade I write about is his character and never the content creator, it didn't feel right at the time so I ended up deleting the fic pretty quickly afterward. Why am I re-uploading this then? Partly because it feels like it's been enough time (for me, I don't blame you if it's not been enough time for you) but mostly because for the short time this fic was originally up, quite a few commenters said they had similar experiences and found comfort in this story. So I'm re-uploading it. On a side note, I wrote this story as a vent fic while in the midst of a flare up from my own health condition some two ish years ago, I was angry and in pain and it felt like nothing was working anymore to help manage things. I would like to say that since that time, I've been given a new treatment plan that has managed to actually help significantly. I still have bad days but overall, life has been improving slowly. And I'm eternally grateful for my friends who've helped support me through this time, both the friends I knew in person and those who I've met through writing, yall are awesome and I love you (platonic) so much! I hope this re-uploaded fic can provide readers with the comfort it did once before. Remember you are loved, you are not a burden, and you will get through this.

My Upload Schedule for the Month of May

This is subject to change. My schedule is never 100% set in stone, but this is roughly what I'm planning.

Tell me, which are you most excited for?

[magpiewriting]

The absolute happiness I get when I see the little ao3 notification that a favorite author has a new fic or chapter is just :)))

[daenystheedreamer]

i like digging up random internet forums and ive found this russian fanfiction one im gonna by judgy about their taste. the first result is daemon x original female character.

[dyinggirldied]

does anyone go back to constantly edit your fic after publishing it? And not like fixing grammatical errors but adds or cut lines, have more scenes, rewriting stuff every three days or so?

[fatherrussia-69]

Quick update from Father R :D

So I've finished writing all the chapters except for LDT (Look, Don't Touch) and KidCelest (It's The Little Things That Matter). I've got a plan/plot-line for both chapters, but everything is still under development and I'm debating on changing a few things. o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

I plan to complete LDT tomorrow morning or finalize the plot-line for the chapter. I will provide an update on my progress by the end of that day, so please stay tuned. （￣︶￣）↗　

Editor T had a 1000 IQ idea for SSATW (Silence Speaks A Thousand Words) chapter 59, and I can't wait to post it to see your guy's reactions. I got stuck deciding what to do for the end of that chapter, and with your guys' help, it'll make things a lot easier for me to get to the four major plot points. No more writer's block! q(≧▽≦q)

I'm also giving you guys a sneak peek at the vampire fic, RAD (Returning a Debt). This is just to feed everyone a small snack before the main course. Remember to drink water, eat food, get some sleep, and feed the birds while you guys wait for the chapters. (o゜▽゜)o☆

Also, if you have no idea what fics I'm talking about, come check out my A03 series: Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach: Daycare Attendant Edition. It's a series I've been working on since last year and I'm really proud of how far it's come. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I gotta go now, Editor T and my executive (my dog) are bullying me to go to sleep- (lll￢ω￢)
