Miss Loko but same time its other perfil,i need Tips from one author to another,Currently,I'm having a difficult time with my AO3 profile,especially with the arrival of my most recent fics,I wanted to know how to boost visibility so that other people can read it(Ps:if the question sounded strange,it's because I have a terrible way with words)
Oh, please, call me Bex. 馃槉
Honestly, I'm not the greatest when it comes to visibility. I have a somewhat large following, but that's been collected over eight years of having this blog, dedicated to a single franchise/fandom. Make sure your fic is tagged well on AO3 with the characters/friendship/romantic ships involved (remember that X Character & Y Character is indicative of a friendship and X Character x Y Character is indicative of a romantic ship), as well as relevant plot points. And then, I post a link to the fic here on Tumblr, using all the fandom tags and the characters involved in the chapter that was just posted. If you're on other social media (I'm not), post links to it there, too.
According to statistical data, the best time to post on AO3 for high visibility is Sunday, Monday and Tuesday between noon and 5:00 PM Pacific Coast Time (PST). As the week goes on, AO3 gets less traffic, so avoid posting on Friday, and don't post midnight PST to early hours of the morning PST. (In other words, @the-writer1988 and I sort of shoot ourselves in the foot by traditionally posting on Fridays. 馃槄)
But honestly, the best thing you can do for your own mental health in that regard is to not look at the numbers. It doesn't actually matter how many people read it or leave kudos or subscribe to it or anything else. I acknowledge that getting feedback is the lifeblood of authors, and it's emotionally discordant to say, "Write for yourself, it doesn't matter if anyone else reads it," because... yeah, it actually does. People write fanfiction for the community of it. They want to present something to the community and get feedback on it. But try not to look at the numbers.
In order to spread that community, read fics and leave comments on them (which you do! I absolutely know you're commenting on Tangled: Between the Kisses!). Build your circle here, on a Discord server, wherever. Your friends are more likely to read your fics than random strangers are.
Also, remember that not everything you write is going to be everyone's cup of tea, so don't be offended if people don't read your stuff simply because they're not interested. There's nothing wrong with people curating their fic library. Write the stories you're interested in reading, though. Don't cater to what you think people want to read. You aren't making money off of this, and you aren't beholden to the masses or a publisher. Just be true to yourself.

Character Study: Sirius Black Part 2/2
In the second part on Sirius-centric fanfiction, I found myself reading two stories that addressed a similar prompt in two different ways.
2. Foreshadowing Demise by Shadowmistress13
Premise: Sirius falls into the Veil and falls back in time, giving him a second chance to get to know his brother.
Status: WIP, last updated 2019-05-03
Read it on ff.net
This story is wonderful, and not at all what I expected it to be when I first realized it revisited the Marauder鈥檚 school years. Most time-travel stories are content to preserve the timeline, and while this story seems to do that at first - it starts to differentiate from canon in subtle but complex ways.
I love that the characters in this story are given the chance to breathe and to grow in different ways that we鈥檝e seen before. Sirius and Regulus have a complex brotherly dynamic - and this story illustrates that without establishing either character as being in the right.
I only have two issues with this story. 1. For being the main character, Sirius (as Salem) hasn鈥檛 had a comprehensive arch for quite a few chapters. 2. This story is not complete and I desperately wish it was!
Rating: 4 / 5
3. Twisting Time by the-writer1988
Premise: Sirius falls into the Veil and falls back in time to 1981 where he attempts to help him and his friends survive the war.
Status: Complete
Read it on ff.net
Originally, I thought this story would be focusing on the events that led up to Halloween 1981 - and how Sirius would fix them. I was excited about this prospect of having a strict timeline for the story to adhere to, since, as a reader, it would mean that the author would be bringing us straight into the anxiety, the secrecy and the events of the first war.
Alas, this is not what this story turned out to be. Overall, the characters were enjoyable even if the plot turned out to be slightly predictable. Nonetheless, the story was enjoyable as a one-time read.
Rating: 3 / 5

How do you and your co-writer work together on your Tangled fanfiction? Does one of you create the character arcs and figure out the plot while the other writes the chapters? Or do you both create the plot and character arcs together?
Well, the whole thing started when someone sent me an ask, wondering what I thought the series would be like if Cassandra wasn't in it. I banged out a general summary of how I thought it would go, and @the-writer1988 liked my premise so much that she asked me if she could take a crack at writing it! I said she may, and offered to act as a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, and also to beta read/edit.
Well, it turned out I was needed for more than just a sounding board, and so the pipeline is something like this:
She uses my basic premise as her starting-off point, but fills in areas with her own ideas as well. I also fill in things that I definitely want to happen during the course of the plot.
From there, we work out where these changes to the original series will take place. Then, she drafts the chapter, and I proofread it, editing it for narrative vocabulary, making sure the dialogue sounds in character for who's saying what, expanding the descriptions of areas, scenes, and people, and sometimes I have an idea of a scene that should be in somewhere and just start writing, resulting in longer sections, or even entirely new ones.
When I've finished my editing, she reads what I changed to make sure she likes what I fixed and added.
If necessary, sometimes I let it sit for a few days or even weeks before rereading the chapter to make sure I still like it and don't want to change anything else. (This happened way more during the equivalent of season one, when we were still largely following the plot of the series step for step.)
When we're both happy with it, we post it!

Do you have any recs for fanfiction with Lance? It looks like there hasn鈥檛 been anything written recently including him.
My and @the-writer1988's ongoing fic Tangled: Between the Kisses has him in it! It's an unfinished multi-chapter rewrite of the entire series, if Cassandra wasn't in it. (As in, she doesn't exist in this AU.) We're mostly seeing how things would be different without Cassandra present, but we're also self-indulgently doing things like giving Lance and Arianna much bigger roles in the story than the series ever did.
Otherwise, no, I honestly don't read a ton of fanfics. Anyone else wanna ring in?
