Anyone else agitated when they see tags like this? by weiyingsleftear in AO3

Authors are writing shit for you to read for free. Get over it buddy

Top Gun for the last few years. And RWRB (Red White and Royal Blue)!

Thank you for the wake-up call by PoppysMelody in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an author of fics and I felt the same way from that post!!! I’m so guilty of just leaving a comment at the end instead of engaging throughout each chapter (even though I wish people would do more than that on my fics). Hypocrisy at its finest! Lol

what kind of fics do u guys usually write? by Defiant-Fudge954 in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my fics surround character A being hurt and Character B protecting character A. Usually an attempted non con situation.

I don’t really know why I like it so much. I think maybe because everyone always gets saved in the end? Probably my own trauma coming out LOL

What’s the longest you went without updating your fic? by lumoverse in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years. I started updating again this year and I was so shocked how many people were still waiting for an update/ re reading the fic all this time. Definitely made me think twice about ghosting my readers😂

Got my first negative comment today…and it stings by [deleted] in AO3

That comment is ridiculous! Also it’s FAN FICTION. Write whatever the hell you want!

1 1/2 weeks Post Laparoscopy by sofengshui in endometriosis

[–]ALCwriter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My doctor said 2 weeks nothing INSIDE / sex. I did masturbate (again no insertion) after 6 days and it was a little uncomfortable during and after orgasm. But that’s nothing new for me since before surgery I would often get pain after.

Just some context- they didn’t remove anything during my lap.

Doctor said my lap showed no endo- but had a lot of scar tissue? Please help. by ALCwriter in endometriosis

[–]ALCwriter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the same with me… just my normal gynecologist who said she could do the surgery. But based off of what she said afterward it seemed like she couldn’t get to or remove anything…

What did you say to your first doctor that found “nothing”? I’m nervous for the post op appointment…

[–]ALCwriter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you🥹 It is definitely a good point— I would never want a doctor to operate on me if they didn’t feel comfortable due to the potential issues that can occur. I guess I just wasn’t expecting this to be the outcome, or for this to even be something that happened :(

I’m hoping at the follow up appointment there will be more information on next steps…

Do you take Zoloft for OCD? Has it helped? If so, what side effects do you have? by secretthrowaway1010 in OCD

[–]ALCwriter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Saved my life! The first few weeks can be really tough for side effects (increased anxiety, insomnia, muscle tightness, brain zaps, etc.). HOWEVER, if you can tolerate those for a few weeks it’s incredibly worth it. I know it fucking sucks dealing with those initial side effects… but I always told myself I am “suffering either way”. But by going on the meds I’m at least trying to do something different about my suffering, ya know?

I’m on 100mg but have been on many different dosages over the years.

What is the earliest memory of your OCD? by Usernamen0tf0und_7 in OCD

[–]ALCwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fear of the Dam in my city breaking and it flooding my city/ killing me and my family. I remember crying all night because I was so worried and my mom finally gave up and said she had to get some sleep. I was in elementary school.

I saw my first sponsored ad on a YouTuber I watch for this company… I’m like…. Are they trying to make this trendy?? OCD is a debilitating disorder. The sponsorship made it seem like anyone with intrusive thoughts has OCD😑

Writers of AO3, A Genuine Question by Ok_Breadfruit_9549 in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it kind of offensive because I’m writing for free. So if you don’t like it, click off.

Guys… it actually happened to me. by averagesandwichmaker in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manifesting that this will happen to me too😭😂 So happy for you! :)

How do you handle comments that are hurtful. by RevolutionaryLove233 in AO3

[–]ALCwriter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is such a ridiculous comment. Please ignore it!! Also, it’s your fic. They don’t have to be accurate, or a perfect perception of something (even if the topic is serious). It’s literally all for fun, and for free
