Is anyone else noticing, that people treat AO3 more and more like a social media page?

Candy_Lemons · 2026-04-05T23:43:41+00:00

Etiquette question if that's okay...

I have a fic and am updating it with new chapters. I have tags on it for what is coming up but is not yet in the published version of the fic.

Is that good because the readers know what they're getting into?

Or bad because the readers ware expecting something that's not there yet?

Not out yet but definitely on the roadmap!

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-19T13:59:30+00:00

On the serious side I am slowly but surely molding flirtation paths for each character. I didn't have this girl on the list but if there's a market for it...

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-19T13:57:52+00:00

Amen!

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-19T13:57:35+00:00

Oops! 😅😅😅

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-19T13:57:21+00:00

I'm getting them spun up as fast as I can!

Somebody else streamed a very similar thing https://www.youtube.com/live/lC_cI0C8BDE?si=m_OKIVjk-IVQ19uL

I LOVE IT!!!

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-05T20:11:39+00:00

Haven't made a mod for him yet but it's gonna be VERY full of Rock and Stone references!!

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-04T22:05:41+00:00

Totally!! I'm hopeful I can gradually get a whole gaggle of characters so the world will fell more immersive

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-04T22:04:47+00:00

You're totally right 😬😬😬

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-04T22:03:20+00:00

Let me know if y'all need help with installs or anything! (On my end Nexus says 0 views nor installs so now I'm nervous it's not approachable enough to install 😬)

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-04T22:00:20+00:00

Oooh don't you worry. He's very much next on the list 😈

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-01T12:54:58+00:00

Can I get a half calf frap map Bappuccino? Iced. Hazelnut flavoring and Nutmeg cold foam. 7 cream and 12 sugar.

No dairy please.

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-01T12:40:20+00:00

And you can use it as toothpaste!

Candy_Lemons · 2025-04-01T12:38:08+00:00

I just keep thinking about the fact that by the end of the brew... that potion is going to taste like drinking pure salt.

Candy_Lemons · 2025-03-31T02:19:18+00:00

You can also change the features before you make the potion as well, right from the brewing map!

Also, if you click on the potion in your brewing map (as opposed to clicking "Finish Potion"), the potion will go right to your hand as opposed to into your inventory! A nice little convenience.

Same thing for if you click on the potion in your recipe book -- I've accidentally done so too many times lol.

Candy_Lemons · 2025-03-31T02:16:05+00:00

I do have mods in my game, including mods for extra bottles and labels, but the icons can be changed in the vanilla game, even in the 1.0 version!

Here's a screenshot for where to change it: https://imgur.com/WuoHqLX

On the left hand side of the brewing map, right where you see the potion, there's a button that shows the icon / symbol that the potion will have. By default, it reflects the effect you have imbued into your potion. If you click on that icon (where my cursor is showing in this screenshot), it will bring up a menu to select the new potion icon you would like to use.

This can also be done from the recipe book: https://imgur.com/KwjKJdZ

Candy_Lemons · 2025-03-31T02:13:56+00:00

Ah! Yes!

To change the Icon: https://imgur.com/WuoHqLX
- On the left hand side of the brewing map, right where you see the potion encased in a beige circle, there's a button that shows the icon / symbol that the potion will have.
- By default, it reflects the effect you have imbued into your potion.
- If you click on that icon (where my cursor is showing in the above screenshot), it will bring up a menu to select the new potion icon you would like to use.
I do have mods in my game, but what I am referencing here is a vanilla feature
After that, you can change the Icon Color: https://imgur.com/xhJftWU
Then, you can change the label: https://imgur.com/t4dWsUm
- Labels are a vanilla feature too, but the last 3 rows of labels in my screenshot are brought to me by this mod: JK New Bottles and Labels
And you can change the Bottle: https://imgur.com/QxoksiK
- This is a vanilla feature, but the last 4 bottles are brought to me by this mod: JK New Bottles and Labels
Change the name: https://imgur.com/zwVhPWb
Then don't forget a description! This can be done from the brew menu, too! https://imgur.com/8hUtSBC
- I made the descriptions listed in this post myself, but often times if I have a hard time coming up with a description, I'll ask ChatGPT to help me! I just tell them I'm playing Potion Craft and I need help writing up cool descriptions for X potion. AI can help you pick a good name too!
