#ff net

[puraiuddo]

FanFiction.net is not gone.

Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

Correction:

The new "fake" site that people are seeing still belongs to FanFiction.net—they just misconfigured their servers and are not redirecting traffic from the bare fanfiction.net to the main site at www.fanfiction.net. There is likely no malicious agent. Didn't mean to scare anyone! Just wanted to let people know the site wasn't deleted!

So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".

Please share so people stop panicking.

COMMENT ON FANFICTION!!!!! I'M AN AO3 AUTHOR, AND COMMENTS ARE MY LIFEBLOOD. When I get a comment, it make my entire week. Because that's roughly how often I get them: Once a week. If I'm lucky. I comment a lot on other people's fics, so most of my inbox notifs are 'thank you's from authors (which i also appreciate) which just go to show how much comments are wanted. You can even just leave a heart emoji or a "very nice". Or, you can write three paragraphs about how you would replace your lungs with this fic, several lines you like from it, and all your thoughts about our work. If you enjoyed a fic, leave kudos, AND a comment. I DONT CARE HOW OLD THE FIC IS.

[this-is-a-love-story-isnt-it]

Question- why do I never see anyone mention fanfiction.net on here? It’s as if some people think that AO3 is the only valid place to put your fanfic. I actually have more fanfic on ff.net than I do on AO3, because that was the main fic archive when I was writing Gilmore Girls fic and some other fandoms around the same time, and I never moved them to AO3.

It seems fanfiction.net has a lot of like bots? Or scams? I keep getting comments like "hey I like your story and I'll make a comic based on it"

[thereadersmuse]

The people/bots swarming fanfiction.net leaving pm's trying to entice authors to commission them for turning their fic into art are bad enough. Now they have started leaving reviews. Imagine an author getting their hopes up to read a review of something that took them months to write and edit - for a tiny ass fandom and pairing no less - and it is a fucking sales pitch.

Fuck all the way off.

I think obsessing over your fanfic engagement THIS much is unhealthy

This author having a 'comment milestone goal' is just weird?? And will only update if a chapter has 100 comment?? Like why are you imposing such a strict standard to yourself and your readers? Why so obsessed over the numbers and graphic chart?

You are not a youtuber who try to make ends meet, you are writing a fanfic... Now I understand feeling discouraged if your story is not doing well. But this author's story is very popular and at the end of the day what's matter wen it comes to fanfic writing is: Fun

I think this is what the algorithmic based and popularity obsessed modern internet has brought upon fandom: Anxiety, FOMO, stress, and tying your self worth to engagement. I know obsessing over number is always been a thing but I think it has gotten worse in recent years. TDLR: Author held story hostage/guilt trip readers and wont update unless they got 50/100 comments per chapter

I mean they can do whatever with their fanfic but I think stressing over comment that much is not healthy, also they could have handled it better. Their grievances over plagiarism is valid tho

PSA about FF net bots

(please share if this is relevant to you or someone you know)

I know very few of you youngins probably use fanfiction. net, but its scam commenter level has been ramping up lately. I've gotten two reviews/PMs (in ao3 parlance, comments/DMs) today alone which, let's see:

Your story "Caged in Gold" has the power to captivate, let's bring it to life! As a commissioned artist with 4 years of experience, I specialize in turning stories into dynamic visuals, whether it's a graphic novel, action-packed manga, or a beautifully illustrated webcomic. Let's create something unforgettable! DM me on Discord: [REMOVED] or ask for my socials to see my work.

and

Subject: Paid collaboration Proposal Hello , As an artist and a big fan of your storytelling, I find your work incredibly inspiring! Do you connect with your audience on social media?

I used to just roll my eyes at these but they seem to be more frequent now.

An unexpected review or PM messages lavishing compliments (which are vague since they are copy/pasted) and asking seemingly benign questions, hinting that they want to collaborate somehow in a way that may make you money. It's a pretty obvious scam to me but is phrased in a way that would take advantage of anyone excited and flattered to have someone read their fics at all. (Not to say I don't appreciate readers, but I've been in the game long enough that a single "great fic!" comment, while very nice, doesn't give me butterflies and palpitations anymore lol.)

They seem to especially target fics with low readership I think? Not all of the shit I wrote in middle and high school are bangers.

I'll put a history and quotes of the messages I've gotten in the last few years. I'd gone years without ANY reviews/PMs before this started.

August 31, 2024 Subject: Collaboration Opportunity – Bringing Your Story to Life Through Art. Dear: Donteatacowman I hope this message finds you well. As a concept artist with a deep appreciation for fantasy literature, I am truly impressed by your work. I believe there is a great opportunity for us to collaborate. I would love to discuss potential collaboration opportunities and explore how we can work together. Please let me know if you have any other social media handles so we can continue this conversation in more detail. Thank you for your time and consideration. Discord: [REMOVED] Best regards, Gloria

Scam. No reference to fic or fandom whatsoever.

October 3, 2024 Subject: Let's Discuss Hello, my friend! How are you? I read your story and really liked it. Keep up the good work! I am a concept artist, and I draw book covers, original characters, and more. Would you be interested in collaborating with me? I would be happy to work with you?

Scam. Same as above.

Maybe these are genuine artists asking for you to commission them, but it's so shady that I am not sure they would provide anything once you paid them.

October 24, 2024 Subject: Appreciation Hi Author, I hope you're doing well! I'm Everley, and I recently read (Only One Is Mine ). I really enjoyed it. I've been thinking about adding some artistic elements to bring the story to life visually, and I'd love to explore how we could collaborate on this idea. Let me know what you think!

Copy/pasted the fic title in in a way that makes me wonder if this was a bot.

October 25, 2024 Subject: Really inspired by your story Hi Donteatacowman! I loved your work on [Only One Is Mine] and I'm inspired by your storytelling. I'd love to bring your characters to life with my art. Do you have a social media platform to connect?

November 15, 2024 Subject: A Creative Connection. Hey, Hope you're doing well. Your work inspires me deeply. I'd love to be your artist on a project that brings your ideas to life. You up for that? November 15, 2024 Subject: A Creative Connection. Hey, Hope you're doing well. Your work inspires me deeply. I'd love to be your artist on a project that brings your ideas to life. You up for that?

November 28, 2024 Subject: Evelin Commission Artist Knock Knock Donteatacowman!!! Such an amazing story "Mind games", Highly appreciated

This one's interesting because it is a positive comment on the story (again, with the name of the author and fic coded in), only presenting the chance to commission them in the subject line to trick someone into thinking that it's their idea to ask for a commission.

November 28, 2024 You're an amazing writer! I really enjoyed the story and all the characters none of them felt out of place. I especially liked the character of Sai As an artist I want to make character art of Sai in good price. If you're interested feel free to reach me through my social accounts which you can find in my bio

Pulling the name of a character from the fic (also presumably could be done by a bot) is a new one. Another potentially real offer with shady practices.

December 4, 2024 Subject: open commission Hi I hope you are doing well and I reached out to you bec I read your story and like it so much and have dope ideas for your story related to artwork in good commish so I hope you are interested to hear. are you?

December 30, 2024 Subject: Story Appreciation Hello! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to say how much I admire your writing, I recently read your story and was so impressed!

None of these come from the same user, by the way.

FF net cannot be reached for me :/

So as of the date I'm writing this ask, the only way to be able to access fanfiction.net at all is to alter your host file on your computer to tell your computer that this specific IP address is what you are wanting to use for fanfiction.net. I saw some saying the address is up for sale on GoDaddy.

Wait, really?

EYES OFF YOU ✶ ASAKURA JO

in which... jo tries to help you with a subject that he doesnt even take, thinking you'd be impressed.

pairing. asakura jo x gn!reader genre. fluff, jo is a complete loser and down bad for the reader wc. 644 author's note. HAPPY JO DAY !! i dont usually write for idols on their birthday, but since this was sitting in my drafts, i decided to post it! i love losers sm and jo being my fav loser i had to write this for him. // @lune-net

You sigh as you sit in your seat, feeling the weight of your frustration. Your friend Maki was supposed to help you with a chapter on biomolecules, a topic you'd been struggling with for weeks. But he had suddenly bailed, leaving you alone and stressed. Despite your best efforts, the concepts just weren't clicking.

You flip through the pages of your textbook, trying to make sense of the confusing diagrams and dense text. You barely notice when Jo approaches your desk. He hesitates for a moment before clearing his throat softly.

"Hey, uh, are you okay?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper.

You look up, surprised. Jo rarely ever spoke, especially not to you. Despite being in the same friend group, your interactions had been minimal at best. His sudden concern catched you off guard.

"I'm just struggling with this chapter," you admit, gesturing to the open book in front of you. "Maki was supposed to help me, but he bailed."

Jo's eyes flicker over the pages, and he nods slowly. "Biomolecules? That's easy for me. I can teach you if you want."

"Really?" you ask, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't know biology was your thing."

"It's not really, but I remember this part from earlier. I think I can explain it." he replies, pulling up a chair next to you.

As Jo begins to explain, you find yourself drawn not just to the subject matter, but to Jo himself. His voice, usually quiet and unassuming, takes on a gentle cadence as he tries to simplify the complexities of biomolecules. His explanations are earnest, accompanied by nervous gestures that betray his lack of confidence in the material.

You notice how his hair, usually neatly combed, falls slightly disheveled over his forehead, giving him a slightly endearing, boyish charm. His glasses, perched precariously on the bridge of his nose, slip down every so often, prompting him to push them back up absentmindedly.

Despite his efforts, Jo falters. He stumbles over definitions, his explanations occasionally trailing off into uncertain mutters. Diagrams that should clarify concepts only seem to confuse him further. You watch him closely, a furrow forming between your brows as you try to reconcile the disparity between his initial confidence and his current struggle.

"Jo," you interrupt gently, "Are you sure you're good at this? Biology isn't even one of your subjects, right?" 

Jo freezes, his face turning a shade of red you've never seen before. He stammers, "I, uh... I just wanted to help. I'm sorry. I thought I could do it."

You laugh softly, shaking your head. "Jo, it's okay. You don't have to apologize. It's actually kinda sweet that you tried."

He looks at you, wide-eyed and still blushing furiously. "I just... I don’t know why i said i’d do it."

"Jo, if you wanted to spend time with me, you could've just asked to meet up outside of school." you teased.

Jo's blush deepens, and he looks down at his hands. "I didn't think you'd say yes." 

Oh! He actually wanted to spend time with you? You were flattered, honestly, and you knew that you’d regret it if you didn’t do something about it.

You smile, reaching out to gently touch his arm. "Well, why don't you ask me now?"

He swallows nervously, finally meeting your gaze. "Would you... would you like to go out with me sometime? Maybe we could study together? Or, you know, do something fun?"

You grin, feeling a warmth spread through your chest. "I'd like that, Jo. I'd like that a lot."

Jo's face lights up with a shy, relieved smile. "Okay, great. How about this weekend?"

"It's a date," you say, giving his arm a reassuring squeeze.

As you both gather your things, the frustration from earlier melts away. Maybe Maki bailing wasn't such a bad thing after all.

fics taste better when you read them on your phone

[recurring-polynya]

Hi! I want to start off with saying I love your blog and it was this blog that introduced me to a new side of the Bleach fandom, so I owe you a huge thanks for that. My question pretains to when you mentioned that you read a lot of fics where Byakuya was there when his father died in the lines of duty, and I was wondering if you could recommend those fics and any other byakuya centric ones.

You're very welcome! I am always excited see new people in the fandom, especially here on Tumblr.

I want to preface this with saying that I have kind of a complicated relationship with Byakuya. He is an interesting, complex character and I like to read fanfic about him, but I hesitate to call myself a fan. I'm mostly interested in his character as it stands in relation to Rukia and Renji. I like stories where he is shitty and causes problems. I like reading about the long, horrible history of the Kuchiki clan, and how much it screws a person up to be raised in that mess. I also just like stories that make fun of him a bit. He's a deeply strange person, and I love his weird, dry sense of humor. Byakuya-shipping usually falls flat for me: I think he's mostly ace, except for the time he fell in love with his wife, and even then, I only really like Byahisa stories where the author has done something creative with who she is and I also need her to drag his ass a little. I would swipe left on him. So, anyway, take these recommendations (and the absence of ones I have missed) with that grain of salt.

The fanfic I was specifically referring to regarding Soujun dying after a mission he and Byakuya were on together was the Rise & Ruin series by @afinepiece, specifically part 2, An Education. It's a...little-bit-AUish precanon fic where Hisana is a thief who ends up getting tangled up in the Kuchiki family after she attempts to steal a painting from them. If you're looking for Byakuya fanfic, AFP is always going to be my first recommendation, especially her Thin Red Line series. Her works are always sprawling and genre-defying, but beautifully crafted. They've got noble/family drama, intricate world-building detail, and great character writing. The Kuchiki family deserves epics, and that is what AFP is out here doing.

Funnily enough, my other favorite ByaHisa writer is all the way at the other end of the writing spectrum. @thegreenfaery. She works in the AU space, and if you enjoy Byakuya Going Thru It but also being in love with his beautiful wife. I'm biased, because she wrote it for me, but The Wedding Party is my fave of her works (80's/everyone's human AU where Hisana has to rent out part of Byakuya's house for her little sister's dirtbag wedding).

If you like Byakuya in his gothic horror era, please read dogviolet by @renjirukia. It's a closer examination of some canon between-scenes during Byakuya and Rukia's Bad Times period.

I think @lucymonster is one of the best Byakuya character writers out there, and Metaesthesia is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. It's a Byakuya - Renji bodyswap, but not in a fun way. You should really only read it if you're in the mood to have your heart kicked down the stairs. I also really like Sticks and Stones and Building Bridges. Note: Most of her works are ByaRen (these are not, at least not explicitly). That's not a ship I am normally fond of, but I get, like 3 weird days a year where I can read it.

Speaking of ByaRen, if you are into it, the other ByaRen writer I like a lot is @grizmelder, who is also a very nice person. I particularly enjoyed Heart Tangled, which is a historical AU set at the end of the samurai era, where Renji is Byakuya's bodyguard.

I was just talking about Lull the other day, but it's a lovely little fanfic by Branch about the relationship between Byakuya and Rukia and sometimes Renji. It's an older fanfic and breaks off from canon after the Soul Society arc, so you can think of it as sort of an alternate idea for how Soul Society rebuilds after Aizen's betrayal.

The Journal of Kuchiki Byakuya by @saranel is a great little fic in the form of young Byakuya writing diary entries about his life, in particular, his dealings with Yoruichi and Urahara. It's really cute in general, but in particular, I love the way it portrays Byakuya's interest in photography.

I also have a soft spot for Breaking to Bridle by Vivienne Grainger, which is about how Byakuya sees Renji, both as lieutenant and eventually as suitor for his sister.

I guess I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite crack Byakuya fic, which is Become a Ghost by @hardlyfatal. Orihime dies and goes to Soul Society and becomes a therapist and falls in love with Byakuya. It's pretty silly but also a lot of fun, and it's chock full of Byakuya being Byakuya.

I hope you find something you like in there! Like I said, I am not the world's best Byakuya fan (probably in the top ten worst Byakuya fans tbh) but these are some that I have enjoyed and have stuck with me!
