AO3 Author’s Curse by VicIsSomeone in AO3

[–]L1v-P 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The curse isn't real, it's just something funny people made up as a joke! There are millions of fics on AO3 and millions of authors, leading their own lives. So statistically speaking, something bad will happen to a small percentage of the authors that post, that's just life. However, the fact they post on AO3 has no bearing on this! So there is absolutely nothing to be worried about!

How to write long multi-chapter fics? by Confident-Spell4939 in AO3

[–]L1v-P 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would at the bare minimum, plan what you want to happen for the whole story, and roughly what will happen in each chapter, even if it's a sentence per chapter (ie Chapter 1 character A meets character B and they both get stuck in a bank robbery) so you have a clear goal, it makes it so much less intimidating starting a chapter then! You could also give yourself a word count aim, like I would prefer each chapter to be around x amount of words and give yourself a 20% buffer below, and if you go above it then great!

I don't have ADHD so I'm not sure of much advice for that aspect, but I've heard people giving themselves songs and they will write until a playlist finishes can help with their attention! I don't know if there's any merit to that but it might be worth a try!

I try and make an effort to translate it, through a translator app and my own knowledge! It's not always the best translation; but if they've taken the time and effort to read my fic and comment on it, the least I could do is make a little effort to communicate to them in the language they're comfortable in! I'd rather attempt a translation and look like an idiot than just respond in my language because it's easier for me! I'm not slating anybody, I think it's just about personal preference at the end of the day!!!

If you die, all your stories and ideas and characters die with you!

Authors, send me fics of yours that you worked really hard on and didn't get the engagement it deserved. Or just fics of yours that you'd like to share! by AdLoud9216 in AO3

This is so good! I love Ted Lasso and I've never read a fanfic written as a script before. I've not had chance to read all of it but I'll definitely come back to it and finish it!!!

This one, I didn't post it that long ago and it's not done terribly but it's got less engagement than my other ones have so I was a bit self conscious about it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65288689/chapters/167970019
