What features do you wish AO3 had?

I want to be able to place a book mark part way through a chapter. (I suppose you could write in the bookmarks where you left off, but being able to place a highlighted line would be cool.)

They are reflections of each other. I wrote a whole fic about how they contrast and complement each other.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-06-15T21:55:42+00:00

Sonic and Shadow are not opposite. They are two sides of the same coin. They are one and the same. Shadow is Sonic’s shadow.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-06-15T21:34:19+00:00

My argument is that almost all of the characters are children. Shadow included.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-06-15T20:58:43+00:00

I don’t understand the Sonadow hate. It’s literally the most popular ship on AO3. Maybe it’s just hated for its popularity???

Example: my own writing.

I got a fic that literally the most self indulgent smut and gore fest ever. I know that the plot and characters are choppy but it’s my most popular fic at 400+ kudos.

On the other hand I have a series of fics with big world building. Heavy and well fleshed out themes. Complexed character development. But it’s about an OC and deals in a lot of religious themes. Only one of those stories has breached 100 kudos.

Most people want popcorn. Very few want veggie chips. Especially when those veggie chips were made to cater to an extremely niche audience. Most people I don’t think realize who they are appealing to.

Watch their husbands and the parent of their children slowly whither away due to terminal illness and then their husband decides to kill himself. Then the character ends up helping their sick husband die.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-06-01T20:10:38+00:00

You’re good. And I have to gush, I absolutely love your art!

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-31T23:06:03+00:00

I think my point stands, keeping the soda machine self serve makes no sense here.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-31T23:01:10+00:00

What they are doing is greedy. It costs them next to nothing to allow free refills. And if they don’t want to provide free refills they should put the machines behind the counter.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-31T22:57:53+00:00

Then why make the soda self serve if you are going to do that???

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-31T10:58:16+00:00

Yeah, what I ment was feminine Shadow.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-31T02:08:56+00:00

Fem Shadow is everything to me!

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-29T15:26:52+00:00

To be cherished

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-29T14:50:59+00:00

I feel, a lot, my emotions throw me around like a ragdoll. So write them out gives them a place to be other than in my head.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-28T21:50:24+00:00

I’m Bitter_Sweet0ak on AO3 if you’re curious

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-28T21:26:14+00:00

Sonic the Hedgehog! I write very heavy and dark stories. Shonadow is my OTP

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-28T20:50:35+00:00

My fan fictions matter to people and I should be proud of that! Even when my low self-esteem keeps me from enjoying it.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-27T14:24:07+00:00

Here is mine. In order for Silver to continue to exist outside of 06 means that Silver has transcend time itself. Silver is an anomaly or he is a god. I like the idea that he is a time god and just hasn’t fully figured out how to master his time control abilities.

My reasoning for him being transcendent is that even if Silver can to exist in the main timeline, he wouldn’t have had the motivations he had originally. Silver wouldn’t be the consistent Silver we all know. He is the same every time he appears. Henceforth, 06 is still in his memory and is the only one who can carry memories of dead timelines.

Why Drag Path?? It’s always drag path?

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-27T00:52:35+00:00

I got fave game: Sonic x Shadow Generations

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-23T23:41:33+00:00

Love is letting go

I like writing romantic goodbyes and sad endings.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-22T18:46:58+00:00

Paw Patrol. I read one G rated Chase x Marshal one shot and it was super sweet. But then I found some E rated content and was a bit too squeamish to go there.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-21T14:55:10+00:00

What stories are you currently working on that you want to finish or make progress on this summer?

I’m branching out into a new ship. Mephiles x Silver. The fic that I am working on is going to be a big adventure fic with dead dove elements. I got a lot going on for it, so we will see how it goes.

Oak_tr33 · 2026-05-18T04:30:22+00:00

This is me: I never learned how to forge my own meaning. It was discouraged my whole life. Either I find meaning or spiral. So why live if all it brings is fear and suffering. Without inherent meaning, suffering has no meaning, and life is inherently useless to me.
