Yall need to interact with fanfiction author's more.
So. After the ddos attack on ao3.
I was encouraged to write more comments and make my love known to fanfic writers.
I dont really like commenting. Because im a bit shy and soooo lazy.
Now though. I am writing more comments. And dude. This is so heartwarming. Ya'll need to treat writers better. They are doing the lord's work.
Take for an example, couple of days prior, i was searching for something interesting to read, and found an oneshot quite compelling.
I read it. At the end of it, i was blown away by how good it was. It promised me something and it went beyond my expectations. But then i saw a crime, zero fucking comments!
At that moment, i wasn't feeling up to writing a comment. Because, normally i like to write huge paragraphs. But because im lazy i decided to be brief.
Next day, the author answered that the comment lift their mood for the whole day.
That warmed my heart.
Duuuuuuuude! Write comments! Suport the writers of the fics you like! No need to be something super elaborate. Just give your thoughts. Freak out. Ramble. Ask something. Make theories. Compliment. Make a joke about how you wished to give kudos every chapter but ao3 sucks(not true bby) and won't let you.
Truly. Just. Comment. It can make someone's day. And that is part of the apeal of writing fics. Interacting with people.
Just give love to fanfic writers yall. They deserve this and so much more.
#fanfiction writer#fanfic#ao3#ramble#it was a naruto fanfic#a narusasusaku fic#also had another thing#i commented on my fav fic that hasnt been updated for a while#i didnt pressured the author to write#because you dont fucking do that >:(#but#just freaked out and talked about how much i loved their writing and the fic#two days later they updated the fic#and then told me i inspired them to finish the chapter#and that's what you're supposed to do!#interact with the author#the fic!#no need to pressure them into writing!#sometimes just words of love and support is enough!#be nice to your writers!#or im gonna smash some sense into yall#rambles

Hi people, I'm a bit fed up rn so just a short reminder that authors can see what you write in your bookmarks on AO3
And like I've recently been struggling with writing more than usual and had a bit of a dry-up in comments (which happens, fair enough, you don't have to like my fics enough to comment, etc) so I looked into the stats and bookmarks to cheer myself up/fight the imposter syndrome and had just been met with two separate users using their bookmark notes to not only rant about how horrible and not up to their standard my fic was, but also, in one case, to make some 'subtle' transphobic remarks about me, the author.
Both users are now blocked on my AO3 but if you're using bookmarks to rank your fics and didn't like something, please at least have the decency to make it a private bookmark if you're ranting about someone's writing skills or plot or just plain calling their fic stupid and bad
I've seen users putting fics (mine and other's) in bookmark collections called 'absolutely nope' or '0/10' or whatever, which is not nice but tolerable but recently I think people are getting a little too comfortable about being negative in a space that never asked them to be
Like most people, I write fic either for fun or as a form of self-indulgent expression and I share it because I think someone might also enjoy it or appreciate it. So many authors struggle with motivation as it is and I'm not an exception - yes, I write fics for myself primarily but I wouldn't be posting or writing them down if it was just for me, they could just stay as daydreams in my head and spare me the frustration the writing process and notes like the ones I've just mentioned bring.
To put it shortly, please remember AO3 authors can see your bookmarks and the notes/collections you use (unless you make them private) and that AO3 authors are human beings not souless content creators
#i feel like people will take this post the wrong way and call me a blackmailer or a censor or attention seeker#but i just haven't been having that much joy from posting fic lately#literally some of my works are sitting with a few paragraphs left because posting updates doesn't spark joy and i don't have the motivation#gonna tag it about fics i have seen it in on my profiles#but like it goes out to the general public of ao3 readers#ao3#ao3 fanfic#fanfic#fanfiction#hangster#buddie#tgm#911 abc#delete later??

The two Jasons swap places. (Multi, hurt/comfort)
Retrograde Motion by Lysical
All Jason wanted was a case that was simple, clean, and far away from the latest mess in Gotham. Magic wasn't the Outlaws' area of expertise, but they soon found themselves investigating a dark wizard with a penchant for organ harvesting.
When an accident on the case leaves Jason as a clueless seven year old with a memory that's spotty at best, what else can his team do but go to his family for help? (Multi, hurt/comfort?)

Hi! I really want to know the fic recs of the trope of married at first meeting for zolu!
heyya!!! here they come
❤️💚 ꕀ 𖠳 ᐝ ꕀ 💚❤️
oh temptation (i could be a part of you) by meteorablues
they are so married but not 'married' but thats only because its something more. they love each other so much since the first time they meet and their logic goes: if theres a beginning theres an end so their relationship is just there with them as long as they exist hes mine and im his its that simple but some things need to be put into words because because!!!! i might or might not cry what a concept (the fics about the rest of the crew being baffled because of that and its beautiful) (also ft nika luffy i just love that so much and this fic delivers so incredibly) (LIKE FOR REAL THE NIKA PART IS EUEGEHGEHEGEHHHGGHHH i dont wanna spoil it but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pls read this im begging on my knees
Just Because You Didn't See It, Doesn't Mean It Didn't Happen by anarchycox
this one is a pov outsider story which is one of my fave tropes ever. a real fun take of zolus marriage being such a part of themselves that even the other crew didnt notice it as a separate thing; oh yeah thats just how those dumbasses are. (apparently married.) (oh look another person falling for luffy.) (but hes already married.) (but we didnt know for the what feels like the longest time ever because we thought thats just how they are.) Or. Yknow. perhaps this one time the rest of the crew could be the dumb ones
(bonus) How It Happened, The First Time by anarchycox
companion piece of the one above! first night on the dinghy! so mind the rating. its quite fun and chaotic just like them
Love is where you find it by Alone77
another pov outsider but specifically jimbe's and the other crew actually knew! love that old fish man slowly realizing his new captain and first mate's love as palpable as the sun
honorable mentions:
baby you're my north star by galaxyninjer
5 thingy format of luffy proposing to zoro BUT WHERES THE ONE TIME THEY ACTUALLY GET MARRIED i really wish i could write a continuation for this im sobbing sm send help
Hearts Can Break Any Cage by anarchycox
its a abo au so cw for that plus the rating and not exactly "marriage" because. again. abo. :D not everyones cup of tea i know, but just in case coz it still fits and they make me go insane. zoro using a muzzle zoro in a muzzle zoroINAMUZZLE
❤️💚 ꕀ 𖠳 ᐝ ꕀ 💚❤️
writing this answer got me realizing yknow maybe i should actually write this trope from their povs in shells town and there is not enough of this trope pls pray for my muse to graciously make a comeback
#for some reason ao3s loading so goddang slow for me so i apologize it took me some time to reply this!#might update this later i feel like ive read more than this but i couldnt find them in my bookmarks eugghg#and again the slow loading is making me miserable#fic rec#fanfic rec#one piece#zolu#luzo#hope you enjoy the read if you havent read them yet!#or share some other recs my way too hehehehehe#el's nonsense

Chapter 29: The Fairy Proxi & The King's Guard Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Additional Tags: Linked Universe (Legend of Zelda), Alternate Universe, Character Study, War, world building, Trauma, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Political Intrigue, Found Family, Angst and Humor, Warriors is a very complicated person, Warriors also does not know Time is Mask, Warriors (Linked Universe)-centric, Canon-Typical Violence, Heavy Angst, Manipulation, Morally Ambiguous Character, Please read content warnings before each chapter, Abuse, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Physical Abuse, Implied Sexual Content, Power Imbalance, Implied/Referenced Torture, Blood and Injury, Disabled Character, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat Summary: “You are going to hear a lot of terrible things about me. Most of it is going to be true.” Being the hero who saved Hyrule from a bloody war was a thankless job that left Warriors with more regrets than he cared to remember. He only started to heal after meeting his fellow heroes from across time and joining them on their quest to defeat the black-blooded monsters. But when his time-hopping journey takes him back home, he finds his kingdom on the brink of war once more. This war threatens to ensnare not only Warriors, but his newfound family as well. Warriors will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if that means becoming a traitor to the kingdom he gave up everything to save. But the harder Warriors works to protect his family, the more the secrets of his dark past come to life. Who is Captain Link Walton, the Hero of Warriors? What happened to the two other heroes he had once fought alongside all those years ago? When this is over, will Warriors even have a family left to save or is he doomed to repeat his past mistakes? (Once, there were three brothers: the captain, the engineer, and the child. Their story did not have a happy ending.)
I was going to joke about how not even AO3 outages can stop this fic, but an AO3 outage did in fact prevent me from posting last night.
Did I use that time to fix all of the obvious flaws in this chapter? No. This chapter is a plague upon my existence, and I wish I had bludgeoned it to death with a baseball bat.
In this installment of, ya know, this whole mess:
Link tries to help the mysterious light he found in the snow
Warriors endeavors to establish a foothold of power within Castle Town
Hey kids! Do you like learning the names of random old men? No? Too bad :)
>> Read It Here >>

listen. i'm always happy whenever someone leaves a comment because they enjoy my writing. whether it's a quick "love it!" or a longer dissection of whatever they've read, it warms my heart that they took the time out of their day, however brief, to let me know that they liked my work. i don't consider myself entitled to receive comments for posting my work, which makes every single one i get a gift!
but comments like these (particularly ones that come from profiles that haven't posted fic and are aggregates of bookmarks*) really do leave a bad taste in my mouth:
so, let me spell some things out for anyone who may be unaware:
I don't write for you.
I write for myself.
I am writing fic for free in the little spare time i have.
You are not entitled to my (or anyone else's) work
i haven't posted fic to ao3 since literally january of this year. i also wish i were posting fic more frequently, trust me. the only thing worse than writing is not writing. but asking "where's the rest????" and "part 2????" only activates my spite response to not post. you'll get updates to fics when you get updates. writing fanfiction is a hobby for me. i do it for fun. but i also take my craft (writing) very seriously. i want to write a good, compelling story and i take great care in the writing process. it's laborious to begin with, and on top of that, i am a meticulous planner. it takes me much longer to write a fic than it does for you to read it -- yes, even for the short ones and smutfics!
it's the famous "pick two: high quality, cheap, and fast", and unfortunately for all of us, if you want my "not bad"-writing and have it also remain free, then you're gonna have to be patient.
*i'm not saying that this is an incorrect way to use ao3. if you're using ao3 as a place to keep track of the fics you like, that's a valid way to use the site, and not what i'm mad about. it's the entitlement.
#listen. these comments really do roll off me like water off a duck#because i'm comfortable with my 'i write for myself' and 'no one is entitled to my work' ideology#but this is also 100% a piece of modern fandom culture where i am putting my foot down#which is to say: people can send me these comments all they want. but they will not guilt trip me into working faster#you'll get your update when you get your update. no sooner and no later.#whining wombat#anyway. i woke up in a fighting mood today apparently and the email i got from ao3 did not help#bitches didn't even leave kudos or anything so i'm really not feeling compelled to indulge in their requests ya know?#i update when i update. and if i don't. well then you're just gonna have to learn how to live with disappointment.#sorry to have to be the one to teach you that lesson

UPDATE! There is now a strawpage for submitting characters! The page also has some extra info and an FAQ like this post did, but from now on please refer to the strawpage for up to date info and FAQ. Information in the post below the cut may no longer be accurate.
Please send future submissions to the dedicated page if you can!
<3
NEW SERIES: I'm going to start collecting a list of OP characters that I will randomize to create made up pairings to write about. Whenever I feel like writing something short and fun, I'll go to the list, spin the wheel twice, and start writing whatever pairing it spits out at me. YOU, yes YOU, get to add characters to the list!
Submit whichever characters you want thrown into the hat to my askbox WITH some sort of indication they're meant to go on the list ("random character submissions!" "for the rando ship list:" etc), and they will be added! You can do so anonymously or not. I won't be publishing submissions publicly either way, I will just quietly add them to the list as I receive them. You can submit any time! The list is ongoing and always open to submissions unless I say otherwise.
Alright, GO!
More info/FAQ
You can:
submit as many characters and as often as you want
rig your fave's chances, duplicates still go on the list, there could be 20 sanjis on there for all you know
be as vague or specific as you want. 19yo zoro? marine sanji? fem doffy? go nuts, or don't, just plain "sanji" is as good as any other
I am looking for individual character submissions! If you submit a completed ship (accidentally or otherwise) I will put all the involved characters on the list separately with a note of which ship they were submitted with. For example: Let's pretend "Zoro/Sanji" and "Law" were both submitted. Those entries will go on the list as "Zoro (/sanji)", "Sanji (/zoro)", and "Law." If random selection spits out "Zoro (/sanji)" and "Law" at me, I will choose to write either just Zoro/Law OR possibly all three together, my choice. Do with that information what you will.
More:
Keep in mind when submitting that I usually write nsfw and/or dead dove, so that will most likely happen to whoever you send. I may write something that isn't either of those if the mood strikes, but don't count on it.
I've been asked before if I have any limits on ships, and the short answer as far as anyone submitting characters needs to worry about is no! Feel free to submit any characters/things you want. I won't judge! If it's not something I EVER want to write, I'll just quietly not put it on the list, (no harm done!) but it's more likely that I'll still include it. I might just write something less shippy/nsfw with that submission when/if it gets pulled. There are inhuman characters on the list, joke submissions, characters no one likes, characters with no tagged fics on ao3 at all, etc. Submit whatever you like!
Once a character is pulled, I'll remove that entry from the list, but you can add them right back if you want. Duplicates/alt versions of the character will remain.
Here's a link to the series so far on ao3

(It’s literally 2:58 am as I *start* writing this here, straight into the post, after an already long night. But alas, creativity is a fickle one, and at least I already wrote out most of this in my head in the past 15 minutes.
Anyway, enjoy a very quick sleepy-time Webby drabble. 💝)
————
For a repeat miracle
The night Della returns from the stars, Webby is a mixed bag of emotions.
She’s happy - she means it with all her heart, swear on a stack of her favorite swords - she’s really, genuinely, down-to-Earth happy.
Della’s back!
Arguably the greatest mystery the family’s ever faced now has a very satisfying happy conclusion. The case is solved! The boys have their mother back, Uncle Scrooge looks like he has had new life breathed into him, and Webby’s heart is about ready to explode from all the emotion the McDuck Manor foyer just witnessed.
And she’s excited to get to know Della! To ask her a million-and-one questions for her McDuck Family Files (she really wants to know how Della’s prosthetic leg helps her in combat, based on the little tidbits they’ve already heard), and to have another awesome adventurer to look up to and learn from.
But as the first welcome-back-here’s-all-the-holidays evening of cake wraps up, and Della herds her boys to their room while Granny guides Webby distinctly away from them and the mess of a dining room towards her own bedroom, the negative emotions begin to creep in.
Because, at the literal end of the day, that’s their family. Della is the boys’ mom, and Donald’s sister, and Uncle Scrooge’s (the urge to revert back to saying “Mr. McDuck” is strong tonight) actual niece, and Webby… Webby was really not much more than a guide to help the boys find their way through the mystery of the Spear of Selene. Webby’s just…the housekeeper’s granddaughter all over again.
(The more rational side of her knows that these are just her own insecurities talking, and that, truly, she’s earned her place in the family square. But the events of the past few hours have left her rattled, and she needs time to let her feelings play out in a healthy way.)
More than any insecurity though, Webby feels jealous, which is amplified after she finishes getting ready for bed only to sit down at her desk instead, flicking on her bright desk lamp.
The cover of The Myth of the Shadow Realm gleams up at her.
Despite all beyond-impossible odds - really, after ten years, and all the fruitless search efforts, and the dangers of space, how could they not think she was dead?! - Della came back to Earth. She came home.
Ten years, in space!, and she found her way home.
To say it’s a miracle would be an understatement.
So why does that miracle, with the more-incredible odds, get to happen?
In the same vein, Webby feels hope.
That happened, so why not this?
Why not one more miracle, to bring a different lost girl home to Webby’s eager, anxious, waiting arms?
Webby will ninja-kick-flip all odds to make it happen if she has to.
For now though, all she can do is flip pages, and hope.
——
When Bentina finds Webby in the morning, curious as to why her granddaughter wasn’t up-and-about like usual, a wave of pity creases into her brow.
Webby’s hunched over a book in her pajamas, a blanket pooling at her back and the wrist with her friendship bracelet curled into the crook of her neck protectively, as she breathes in the steady rhythm of sleep. It doesn’t take more than one glimpse of the word “shadow” on the page beneath her arms for Bentina to know what kept her at her desk all night long, again.
With a sigh, Bentina turns off the desk lamp and gives the young girl the gentlest of nudges on her shoulder. “Webby, wake up, dear,” she coaxes. “Do you want some juice?”
A softly-mumbled “mm-hmm” answers her, and Bentina takes the opportunity to lift Webby from the chair while she stirs. “C’mon then, we’ll get you some juice.”
As mighty as she is, and as much heartbreak as she’s already experienced in her young life, Webby’s still so small and precious, and sometimes (especially after last night) Bentina needs to let herself cherish the moments where Webby is more child than warrior, where she still needs her.
But even in this moment, Bentina still can’t fully protect Webby. She can’t stop Webby from looking sleepily over her shoulder back to the book on her desk, and hoping, beyond all hope, for a repeat miracle.

deals - a vox drabble
decided to go ahead and share this one, too - i may just post these little ficlets/drabbles over the next few days in hopes that sharing might inspire me to write more. this one is centered around vox & his relationships with alastor, with valentino, and with power. hope you enjoy!
Their deal was made out of necessity. Vox had been here before, on the precipice of something great, something bountiful, only for it to come crashing down around him. Because before Valentino, there was Alastor.
Alastor had already made a splash by the time Vox ended up down here, you could argue he was at his height by the time Vox was on the scene. It certainly felt that way. He was the talk of the town, the Radio Demon. Vox admired him in that way you can only admire the things that are sure to harm you. It wasn’t hard to catch up, manipulation and coercion still came naturally to him from life. He may have earned this ridiculous television screen for a face, but his charm was never that dependent on his face.
What Vox can recognize now, in hindsight, is that Alastor felt threatened. Vox was gaining power at the same rate Alastor himself had, and that didn’t bode well, so he had to step in. Vox finds his past self unbearably naive in memory, how could he have looked at that smile and read it as genuine? How could he have believed the Radio Demon cared for him? He was foolish, his emotions made him an idiot, and Alastor took advantage of that fact. There were signs. He should have realized sooner, but Vox really, really liked the idea of Alastor. That was all it was, though, right? Just an idea. It wasn’t the truth.
No, the truth was that Vox had spent an entire life pushing down and pushing down and pushing down all of those unsightly feelings he knew could ruin him. All of the trust he built between himself and those that listened to him were based on their assumptions, on the things he led them to believe, and one misstep would have toppled it all. But now… Now he was in Hell. All of those repressed feelings, desires, urges he’d felt toward so many men over the long years of his life… they were still there, and they could be free, and for whatever reason, they were all being shot toward this deer demon with a fuck-ass bob that Vox wanted to run his fingers through.
And Vox let himself be strung along just so he could experience it, finally.
Alastor never liked Valentino. He wasn’t jealous, per se. No, showing jealousy would have gone a step too far, would have implied that he cared, and no matter what Alastor did he never implied shit. Every feeling that lived between him and Vox came solely from Vox’s side, he would do or say just enough that Vox could read what he wanted. But he never lost his plausible deniability, he would never put himself in the position of being wrong. Technically. Alastor loved technicalities.
But he never liked Valentino, and that he was more than open with. His smile would twist into a sneer the moment Vox brought up his name. He’d give Vox the silent treatment for a few days every time Vox spent time with Val, and the stronger his relationship with Val grew the more Alastor pushed away. He should have let him, but no. Vox loved them both.
Until he didn’t.
Vox knew it took a village to raise an empire, he had always been quite business-minded, but Alastor never really appreciated that. Val did. Val fostered Vox’s silly little dreams, helped him build them. Val became his partner, and all Vox wanted was to offer Alastor a seat at the table, too. He wanted to share the power, but Alastor… Alastor hated sharing more than he hated Val.
Vox loved them both until Alastor finally made his move, used every intimate detail he’d been entrusted with and tried to use that to bring Vox to ruin. To destroy him in every way that mattered except physical. Vox would rather have his soul ripped apart live on radio than be betrayed by someone he thought he knew was a friend, a partner.
His deal with Val was made out of necessity. Vox had been here before, and he had to guarantee that that couldn’t happen again. He would not be played again, and he was kind enough to give that same assurance to Val. And to Velvette, eventually. Fuck trust. Down here, deals were the only guarantees.

Now this may not seem like a massive change in format, but boy howdy do I feel proud of myself for writing the functions to automate this ehehehehehe (unfortunately for me ao3 ship stat op used a different formatting for the pre-2020 tables, so I'll have to write another function to sort those ones out too ToT)
#coding#ship stats#python#csv#ao3 ship stats#I'm gonna visualise their annual ship rankings data!#(and likely the tumblr fandom ones too)#but first I gotta clean the source data & build a data base#run all the raw data sets through my code#and then I will have a huge updated more uniform and complete data set#which I can then learn how to visualise#for data portfolio purposes#translation for non-coders: wow code is fun but it looks unimpressive if you don't know#I basically took the base text I copied off the ao3 ship rankings posts on ao3#and wrote a bunch of code that automatically formats it from a to b#into a format that's easier to work with in my code#to be able to put it into a proper database later

“But he is not the child of Ra’s al Ghul.” She whispered in his ear, chill creeping down his spine at the shock of a knife twisting into his ribs. “The child is mine.”
Bruce’s eyes widened. His heart pounded rapidly, never ceasing, the sound continually building as a gut-wrenching sensation of fear and uncertainty crept into his bones. The implications… “…Our little Danyal.” She finished sweetly, confirming his fears. ..
After Talia dropped a shocking revelation—that he has a son, Danyal al Ghul—Bruce stops nothing to search for the child he never knew. But his search may force him to fight—as his civilian self, Bruce Wayne.
Meanwhile, Danyal is not happy when he finds himself facing a dangerous foe—even more so when he learned that Bruce Wayne is taken as hostage.
What will happen when the father and son meet for the first time?
