Look.
I didn't like season 2, okay? I think I've been very clear about that. I didn't like the way it didn't give anyone proper character development, I didn't like where it left Ed and Stede, and I certainly didn't like what it did to Izzy. I wasn't attached to a season 3. Let's be honest, I probably would've watched it. (Okay, I definitely would've, I'm not proud.) But I wasn't, shall we say, optimistic.
HOWEVER
I want to talk about why I'm sad anyway. Because this show changed my life. Truly. I mean it. I know I'm not nearly the first person to say that, I know it's a common experience. And that makes it all the more special.
I found OFMD in February 2023. Nearly one year ago. I'd been hearing things about it, but I hadn't sat down to watch it because I was, it turns out, horrifically depressed. I shied away from things, and tv shows especially, that I knew would make me feel things. And then, three weeks before I watched it, I finally went on meds. And then, finally, I watched season 1. I watched it in two sittings. And it lit me up like nothing had in a very long time, if ever. I thought the part of me that cared about things this way was long dead. I felt like a new person.
A lot happened all at the same time. OFMD came to me right when I was ready for it. It helped me begin to explore non-binary womanhood. It got me writing again, after a very very long time, and in ways I'd never been able to access before. It woke my mind up, and connected it back to my heart.
I'll never be able to be grateful enough for that. We can quibble over the details (and, believe me, I intend to continue to do so), but the show struck some kind of lightning. The right people were behind pens, and drawing boards, and characters. The right people made it onto that screen.
I'm still writing. It's slower now, that initial feverish pitch I felt having been significantly tempered. But I'll offer up the characters I love for you, again and again and again, long after the lights have come down.
I don't think any of us could've dreamt this queer magic, we tiny queer weirdos desperately reaching out for the smallest morsels for so, so long but, for a moment, we had it, and it showed us that it's possible. I hope to see what's coming next.
#you know what i didn't think i'd feel sappy about this#i wasn't that affected over the news initially#and i'm still not devastated the way a lot of people seem to be#(and i see you and i'm sorry you're so sad)#(i'm hugging you!!)#but it is shit that we didn't get the rounded out story it was always meant to be#i loved it though#i loved how it made me feel and who it made me think i could be#it was imperfect and really quite irritating at times#but damn it it was ours#and it still is#they can't take that away from us#besides#there's fanfic for that#onwards my dear ones#ever onwards#our flag means death

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
#no shade (ha) to 50 shades. ive never actually read it so idk if its good#but imo the idea of creating an au fanfic thats so divorced from the original work is boring! why are you even making a fanfic atp#the only good fanfic is when you can tell the author loves the source material and uses it#the best fanfics ive ever read could never be published as actual books because it wouldnt work without the context of the original story

Hypothetical scenario: someone is on Ao3, looking for fanfiction to read. This person only speaks/reads English, and they set the language filter to only show fics written in English.
