#i should not have ao3 access

[dhyanshiva]

My plan to tackle post concert depression + emotional high is to propel myself into dukh over Faruv. Highly intelligent plan :)

Blame Unkown/nth for being so powerful it forced me to need to project outwards!

This is the core pillar of the 09.06 publication lol. This is a reblog for myself so I don't forget to add this tag.

so like. if anyone else, like me, still has the occasional fanfic they follow on fanfiction.net, and hasn't been getting the update emails for the longest time and was wondering if ti meant the site is on its last legs

no

no they've done something stupid as fuck

you have to opt back in to getting the emails/notifications of new chapters every six months, because they automatically assume you don't want to know when the fics you followed for the updates have updated

Antis whenever people in fandom donate to a fandom archive:

Happy Halloween!

Here's a meme

Me going wherever the hell I want wrt to Cla$$

is this fic self-indulgent? yes. but what you're failing to consider is that I can write whatever I want so it's fine

The planning for the bookend pieces of one of my series (or more precisely the last installment) is fucking horrendous and my access to my laptop should be barred.

I am currently pausing my writing for tonight until tomorrow comes for my story, "Will of the Wisps," and... oh my God, I am TERRIFIED of what I have written (in a good way).

lif + the pool series' whole premise <3 /lh

There is truly no greater love than taking your most adored fictional character and throwing them into the emotionally-devastating angst fueled trash compactor and pressing every single button on the machine just to see what will happen

For Secrets and Stakes...

The call-out is INSANE my God (love you so much, fellow clown 🤝🩶)

VERY accurate. If not overtly then somehow EVERYTHING even ORIGINAL work is tied if not anchored to grief.

I mean, I'd love to catch a break but also it is what it is, for now.

So yeah :')

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

Small reminder that you should really download your favorite fics off of AO3. We are seeing mass censorships well as the chance that anything, such as another severe DDoS attack can shut down the site making works unaccessible and possibly lost for good.

If you do not know how to download fics, it is a simple 2-button click. I've written a tutorial here.

You think your stuff is safe until it's suddenly not, and then often times it's too late.

This post starts with AO3, (because it seems to be the common denominator across all users on this website /joking) but I recommend extending preservation efforts to anything online if you can manage to download it.

I'm not saying panic and start buying tons of storage devices to hold immense amounts of stuff. A cheap usb can hold plenty of things. You don't have to stop using services still available if it's more convenient to read books on your phone than to fill your backpack with 7 of them.

But you should still get (either buying or creating) physical versions because nothing is guarantee that it will remain forever. From shows being pulled from streaming services, to banned books, to losing access to digital copies of media because the service doesn't support it anymore, the account is lost, or the company goes under. This goes for messaging platforms as well. Your role-plays with your friends on discord can be lost forever, your photos can too.

This doesn't even include media most vulnerable to censorship and how quickly it can be removed, and quietly.

You think it will not happen to you, it will. Do not wait for unforeseen circumstances. Go back up and preserve what you can, your future self will be happy that you did.

funny (read: irritating and sad) how pretty much everyone agrees that l*li and sh*ta stuff is weird but the moment you make it yaoi and post it on ao3 it suddenly becomes the discourse topic that we'll be forced to talk about for the next ten billion years

[dhyanshiva]

Gonna be me soon but I think I'll just sort my bullet points very properly then accelerate. Both of them look like they're gonna reach at least 10k. So yeah.

But SIR that's my emotional support unedited 8000+ words of an in-progress fic I can't publish yet because it's not chronological
