#not tagging the fandom fic or author

ffs people some if y'all were just raised with no manners at all.
You DO NOT send shitty messages to an author after they post a fic, just because you got excited they were writing in a fandom you like, but it turned out to feature a pairing you don't like/hate/squicks you!
I don't like that pairing EITHER, but you know what I did when I opened the email and saw the listed pairings on the first chapter?
I went, 'Awww DARN that sounded interesting. Oh well.' And then i deleted the email and went on reading things I DID like!
I did NOT act like this was a personal betrayal and immediately hop on social media to bitch at the author!
#not tagging the fandom fic or author#they don't deserve harassment#its so stupid#why are you reading something you HATE and then complaining like you were tricked#the pairing is RIGHT THERE#CLEARLY LABELED#fandom#fanfiction#harassing real people over fiction#this is a little bit old news anyway bc i waited to see if i was still annoyed to post this#i am still annoyed

Just saw a fic tagged as "free palestine btw" as if that's in any way relevant or appropriate. This is an archive. There's no algorithm, and there are no viral movements or tags.
#ao3#archive of our own#i was so close to fucking snapping my phone#nothing makes me angrier than people adding unrelated shit to tags of a fic#what next. dnis. your entire bio. the author's personal terms and conditions for interacting with their fic#לישראלים שקוראים הי רציתי לחנוק מישהו#ישראבלר#אני בטוחה שזה מובן לכולם#not tagging the fandom because I'm not looking to start fight but fuck

hiii do you have any fave steddie fics you love and could recommend? I love anything and Long fics, but also especially h/c. I'm kind of a newbie to reading fics about them but read a really long Chrissy/Eddie one long ago <3 steddie seems like the summer IT ship I need tbh. thank you if u see this, and I love your blog u seem super cool! have a great day
hello!! thanks so much, here's a few off the top of my head:
the lathe by @palmviolet (this is my absolute favourite, i think about it all the time.)
sub-culture by @palmviolet
a coat of paint by @songbvrd (this was the first steddie fic i ever read, so shout out to this one for starting me on the steddie brain rot and turning me into the person i am now.)
show me the place where he inserted the blade by @cheatghost (and the others in that series. this fic made me sob.)
the moon turns gold by @pearynice (also anything by pearynice too.)
and some authors who i love: @wynnyfryd @steddieas-shegoes @sp0o0kylights @steviewashere @frankenstein-ate-my-left-shoe @steddielations @loveinhawkins
hope this is what you were looking for and happy reading!!
#basically anything by any of these authors#i'm sure there's more that i missed but anything i've reblogged with the tag#fic#is a good bet imo at least haha#there are so many amazing authors in this fandom!!#fic recs#steddie#inbox

you know when everyone hates your blorbo so going through the fanfics are just “not blorbo friendly” “blorbo bashing” and you aren’t SUPER into your blorbo so you’re not sad or angry necessarily but you are just wondering what you missed that made 3/4 of the fandom abhor your blorbo
#i’ll start reading fics and then wonder why the writing is so mean to one character and then i realise i missed a tag#i’ve gotten pretty deep into fics with bashing and then had to back out because so often the bashing is just mischaracterisation#like some bashing is GOOD the character is still themself and still doing realistic things#they have emotions and they’re complicated and the author bashes them and it’s fine#but sometimes i feel like the fandom just wants a nice easy scapegoat to point at and blame for everything#so they pick X character and just go to town bashing them#and it’s fine but sometimes frustrating when that character is one of my blorbos

Your Favourite Author's Favourite Fic
in no way is this me sneakily trying to get fic recs out of people, but here's my new tag game!
Rules! When tagged, reblog with the fic you've written that you love the most
Not the fic with the most kudos, or the most comments, or the most hits, but the fic that you're the most proud of. I'm talking about the story that kept you up at night, the one that you still think about, the one that you wish more people would read
So, it's time to show off! I strongly encourage - in fact, I demand - that you give yourself some compliments, a well-deserved pat on the back, and tell us all the reasons why it's your favourite!
Then tag five people and make them go through it, too 🥰🩷
I'll tag @wolfjackle, @tourettesdog, @gilbirda, @die-erlkonigin6083, and @thewritingowl to get us started, please and thank you!!
#tag game#fic game#fanfic#ao3#fic recs#look. i've had a summer where i've not been able to catch up on anything#so this is my not so sneaky way of asking for your best reads lmao#also!!!! the fic that pops off is not necessarily the one that you think is the best!#a lot of what gets popular on ao3 is pure luck (like anything!)#and what you like the most might not be what's popular#and i would really love to give the chance for authors to showcase a fic they're proud of but might not get the most likes#or w/e idk - again i just want to read things 🤣#please link something 🙏#also there's so many people i could have tagged up there#i decided on 5 so it would make it easier for other people to tag but like....#honestly might go back or reblog another chain of this with some more people 😅#there are so many authors i love in this fandom ARHGHG you're all so talented!!!#i am incensed!! i want to tag more people!!!!#i'm coming for you fic authors#i'm gonna get ya with me tag games#anyway i'm gonna go to bed my tags are getting too rambly i am sorry#have fun!!!! thank you for playing!!!!

it’s like baby gorl there’s no way I, the author who wrote the fic you’re commenting on and who is the intended audience for this comment, am gonna agree with you 😿🙏 some things can just stay on your chest 🙏
#there’s a threshold I think of what I accept in comments about characters#and their actions or about who is in the wrong or what should happen#because I do like reading people’s opinions#and sometimes when someone is like I didn’t like obi-wan in this fic#I’m like makes sense! maybe you weren’t supposed to or maybe the argument they had was supposed to not be clear cut on who is right#because arguments in real life don’t always have a clear cut winner or morally superior person lmao#I’m ok with that I’m ok with comments saying boo this character is annoying#because sometimes they just are (eg the amount of people who just don’t like obiwan in pbatmb like?? yeah of course he’s not gonna be nice#but I digress lol#anyway but there’s a threshold of when comments about not liking a character go too far and you’re just like.#saying mean things about the writing itself and that’s not something lm gonna allow to be normalized#no matter the intention behind it#you do not type a comment like this knowing it wil be send to an author#who will get an email notification about a comment#click on it and go oooo long comment :D and then go oh.#you don’t do that it’s rude it’s being a jerk#I’ve been here for like 3 almost 4 years I feel ancient in this fandom sometimes#and I’ve gotten so much feedback on my work through that time and so many nice comments and community#but mean comments can really hurt especially new writers#and they can make people who maybe would write fic for a fandom decide to not#like this isn’t even that mean I can almost see the writer just wanting to say how they feel#but sometimes you do not have to 🙏#also I just think this understanding of the characterizations in the fic and probably their understanding of the characters in the films#is a wee bit trash but that’s for me to say in the long tags of my own blog post and not for me to comment on their fics for the fandom#(they don’t have any but I did check because 3am kit felt nosy)

I like dickory more than i like dickbabs but as soon as you make either a bitch or an obstacle just to get the other together I’m leaving the fanfic immediately no matter how good the fic is. It could have all the tropes and tags and be completed but as soon as I see that I get immediately pissed off cuz I’d rather a 3rd act break up or miscommunication trope then turning an canon love interest into a jealous bitch for romantic drama that is so misogynistic and insulting to me
#dickory#dickbabs#dick grayson#koriand'r#kory anders#barbra gordon#like get that not everyone like the amicable ex trope but come on ppl#I only don’t like dickbabs in some fics because they have the batfam hate on Kory for being an alien#like one Bruce would never do that his best friend is one#I blame that one comic author for the mischaracterizion of the batfam thoughts on dickkory in fic#anti dickbabs#<<<tagging that for the weirdo’s who can’t read#also for the weirdo’s who can’t read it says either do you know what that means it means dickbabs or dickory#because I like babs as a whole just not with dick#and I like the batfam#oh my god if you couldn’t tell this was about fanon and fandom shit#I don’t necessarily like either ship i just hate when ppl trash both in their fanfics#jesus christ

something that annoys me a lot in fanfiction as an aromantic is when people dont tag important platonic/familial relationships but tag random romantic stuff
i remember this fic in which there were platonic relationships that were almost as important as the main romantic ship, yet they werent tagged. but a romantic relationship that didnt even had a full scene was tagged.
there are millions of fics that do this. why only tagging romantic stuff? you have non romantic relationships in your fic that are just as important. tagging them would actually help the fic to get more readers (the ones looking for fics with gen relationships) but no, the romantic couple that had ¼ of chapter (of a multichapter fic) was a more relevant tag. wonder why

To fanfiction authors: Please learn what Dead Dove means. There has been a trend, especially will all the new people who have joined over the last few years, to tag fics which are no where close to Dead Dove as Dead Dove. Just cause the fic contains topics which aren't allowed on tiktok or which they think are bad, like Major Character Death, Violence and so one. Which exists as seperate warnings on ao3. A fic is not automatically Dead Dove just cause it deals with those topics.
The overuse of the Dead Dove tag will make the tag utterly useless in the long run and will lead to an increase of censoring from the outside as new people and everyone else will think that everything they do not like is Dead Dove and therefore bad.
#fanfiction#ao3#dead dove do not eat#wattpad#dead dove fic#fanfic#fandoms#author#listen when i read fic about the witcher which show and games include a heavy amount of violence and torture#do not dare to tag your fic dead dove just cause a character is getting beaten up a bit and tortured#this is not what the tag is for#obviously dead dove applies differently for every fandom#but the ao3 warnings exists for a reason#ao3 etiquette

Wtf is happening with ishman fandom? When we're not being fed anything, Ishan literally on a hiatus, then istg the fanfics were SO GOOD and now? When we're being spoon fed the content? The quality of the fanfics goes down? no offence.
like y'all, as a writer, who was forced to write because of less, but good content, i can't help but be annoyed with the fandom rn. Cuz I literally wrote my ff because there was no omegaverse ishman fluff!!!?!
So the point is that the stories are very repetitive, grammar is wrong (not like I'm Shakespeare's butt hole but still, there are some limits to galat English?), there is just- Nothing new? To be excited about?
I remember the time when I used to keep refreshing the app in case any new updates came and now, I haven't literally opened the app since forever. There is just one author, who i wait for, and they stopped posting the same time around which I stopped posting. So ya, I'm not alone
And don't call me Hardik- you ain't loyal to one fandom- look, ik I ain't but I just got over it?! And vaise bhi fanfics ka cringe alag hi chall Raha hai
It's always the same now- mafia Shubman, hobo ishan or some royalty au, or some businessman CEO Shubman and poor ishan, omega ishan hiding his gender, and ishan running away with his child blah blah blah
Yes there are many new ideas, but i couldn't possibly know cuz I haven't opened any fabric since ages
So ya, ishman is having its downfall era on Wattpad
WRITERS DO SOMETHING
I BEG OF YOU
and if anyone could recommend the best, mouthwatering, booty hole clenching fanfic where there is a new plot, and shub is not bottom(he's never a bottom), please do recommend them to me. Pretty please
#ishan kishan#shubman x ishan#shubmangill#ishman#wattpad#fanfiction#kill me#like-no offence to new ishman authors but#some of yall fics suck harder than your mom-#cricket#i need the old fandom back 🔙#shubish#bottom shubman is an ick#whats the point of being 6ft something if you gotta bottom in bed?#and ishan is smol#he literally is#that would work is ishan wasn't like- 3 Apples tall.#periodt blood 🫦#so ya#bottom ishan kishan agenda#stands strong#any writers reading this#start making this a tag on Wattpad and ao3#its already a tag tho#(i made it)

Reading Dracula fanfiction from the 2000s is a wild ride sometimes. Vlad III hangs out with Tod from Elisabeth. Seward cucks Henry Wotton and Arthur marries Marian Halcombe. Dracula and Lucy split the Crew between their respective harems. There is a retelling from Dracula POV written by a fourteen year old that is miles better than The Dracula Tape by Fred Saberhagen, the published book with a similar premise. Erik and Christine are also here somehow (and both are vampires, of course).
#alas the fic with tod wasn't set during elisabeth/dracula period#dracula being a compatriot and imperial subject of tod's crush would have added a touch of irony#oh and seward also married victoria don't worry#or do worry idk#van helsing didn't get to be a bride of dracula because the author disliked him#cw: captivity mention#vlad iii#der tod#jack seward#victoria wotton#henry wotton#arthur holmwood#marian halcombe#count dracula#lucy westenra#erik poto#christine daae#the dracula tape#elisabeth das musical#the picture of dorian gray#the woman in white#the phantom of the opera#dracula fandom#dracula fanfiction#fandom history#dracula#my posts#my tags

Some of my favourite out of context sfth ao3 tags because these are so funny (also all of these are from different fics)
Disclaimer that these aren’t mine :)
#if you’re not in the sfth fandom and you see this just… dont worry about the nazi tags okay 😭#Actually just don’t worry about any of them lol 😭#It’s all a long story#sfthposting#shoot from the hip#I know at least one of my sfth moots wrote one of these (hi you’re hilarious) but I’d bet there’s more#If this is weird (weird in a socially rude way to post someone else’s tags) then let me know because idk how to people and I’m sorry#I hope this is okay#i just find these funny lol#The funny things I find while combing through the tag double checking if my list is complete (it is! and being updated all the time!)#Thank you fanfic authors you’re both amazing for the fanfiction and hilarious for the tags#Even just regularly tagging things for sfth fics is funny cause it’s so chaotic#I haven’t read every sfth fanfic (yet) but I still appreciate them immensely
