One of my kinktober stories that I'm struggling to write boils down to Simon from Transferrable Skills having a kink he's embarrassed to share with Bambi and her not being into it until she sees how into it he is. The problem is that 1) the kink can actually be an amalgamation of kinks and 2) I have to be in a very specific headspace to be into that kink, so I'm having a hard time getting past the talking stage of it all, and 3) ...how did that conversation even start???

A throwback to my Final Fantasy VII days! Blonde Ambition by @sephcounttheways. I was reading this story on ff.net, before I knew who I was as a person.

In chapter one, Cloud has decided to pursue his dreams, but in order to do that, he has to choose to shed his old self and become the fabulous bitch he knows he is inside. And on the way to doing that, he feels sad, he has a moment of grief about letting go of his old life.

That "... Goodbye." has stayed with me for more than a decade.

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

I'm sorry but does Slasher Soap have his own girl or does he share the same girl with Ghost?

The plan is that Soap will get his own Darling! I've actually mentioned her before, during Kinktober! That prompt isn't cannon, technically, but she is going to match his freak.

If you didn't know, the Organization for Transformative Works, the parent org to Archive of Our Own, is dedicated to protecting all fanworks. In fact, the Open Doors Project is a branch of the organization dedicated to archiving and preserving works that are at risk of being lost to time and purges.

AO3 was literally built to house the works other sites deem "undesirable," and continues to build halls for everyone.

There are a lot of great analyses of why censorship is bad . Early has a wonderful post about dark fic, ethics, and the fact that disgust is not an indication of morality. Censorship disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Censorship based on some people being "allowed' to write and engage with certain content often requires painful disclosure to strangers which, again, disproportionately impacts marginalized communities.

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

Oh, please ask me for one of these.

List of “angry confession” prompts

“Since when did you ever care about me?!” “Since fucking forever, you idiotic dunce!” 

“I can’t leave you alone for one second without you hurting yourself, can I?” “I mean, I’m fine so it’s okay—” “No, it’s not okay. Not when I feel like I’m going to go batshit fucking crazy, thinking you’ve hurt yourself.“

“Well, I’m sorry I fell in love with you, okay? But it happened and I can’t do shit about it.” “You… What?” 

“You think I wanted this to happen? You think I, of all people, wanted to fall in love with you?” 

“Trust me, I’m also trying to understand how in the shit this happened.” 

“…This is why I knew I shouldn’t have gotten close to you.”

“I’m going to need you to stop for one second because I just find it so incredibly rude that you think I’m not head over heels in love with your stupid, oblivious ass. Are you a brick? Because you’re dense as fuck.”

“Tell me how I’m supposed to un-love you, then. Tell me. Spare me.” 

“Yeah, well, if I could, I’d lose feelings for you. But it’s not that easy. It’s not that easy to just let go of someone you’ve held onto for so fucking long.” 

“What part of ‘I want you, and only you’ do you not understand?”
