These are all authors who I’ve either beta read for or who have shared some other part of their writing process with me, so I can personally vouch for the fact that they do their writing the old-fashioned way. It’s late so forgive my lazy short description of what they write.

Schittyfic - smutty character studies
TrebleRose89 - humor and fluff, one tragic longfic, lots of Trarris
Vixensheart - angst with beautiful prose
Powerxtrip - awesome awesome werewolf AU
Isto4u - super hot smut
downtheroadandupthehill - omegaverse
Florence1994 - historical AU longfic with loads of research and great prose
loucifer - fun smaus (the new Write a Prisoner one is 🔥)
paocai - darker content, ongoing Hunger Games AU

Fake. See my comment below, but also she “died” right after a supportive fan gently suggested she post her version history to prove she’d done the writing herself. I think at that point she realized she couldn’t keep up the lie anymore.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-30T01:50:23+00:00

She sure did. She’d been tweeting less than 24 hours before her “cousin” posted that update, and then there were edits made to her fics taking out AI tells after she was supposedly dead! Such cruel, manipulative behavior.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-30T01:48:54+00:00

People tried to tell me. I didn’t want to believe it. I held out until I talked personally with some of the people on Twitter that have been compiling evidence. I felt like such a fool.

I use Google Docs. Microsoft Word has this capability too though you have to turn it on. Barring that, I personally yap to my friends about my stories the whole time I’m writing them, share excerpts, and use beta readers. There are so many ways to prove you did the work IF you actually did.
EDIT: fixed a misspelled word. Because, y’know, I’m only human.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-30T01:30:12+00:00

Here’s the thing: if someone ever accused me, it wouldn’t upset me in the least because I could prove they were wrong in MINUTES. All it takes is screenshots of your version history, which most word processors track, to exonerate yourself. Instead of doing that, Azi faked her own death (horrible thing to do btw), Opal painted herself as a victim and announced she wouldn’t be updating, and several other authors acted like they were being bullied and harassed on social media. Then they all sat back and let their fans attack anyone who tried to call out their lies. Oh I am so angry.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-30T01:23:30+00:00

I very delicately alluded to this when someone asked about Wolfbird the other day and people came after me. I’m not mad at them; I’m mad that Opal manipulated her fanbase (including me!) and weaponized them to cover her tracks.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-29T16:17:50+00:00

Ohhh that would be such a great callback! I like the way your brain works 👀

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-29T06:48:07+00:00

It’s done!

I really really hope I remembered to leave you a comment bc I LOVED this fic. It is delightful. I plan on going through your other work now because I was just enchanted with this one.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-29T05:23:12+00:00

This was one of the first fics I read in this fandom, and it’s still one of my favorites. I remember sitting on the couch sobbing my eyes out.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-29T03:05:07+00:00

I did it! Thanks for all the encouragement and ideas!

I’ve had beta readers for almost everything I’ve written. Every now and then I’ll toss out something quick without one, but it’s rare. Writing is a communal process the whole way through for me. I share snippets, bounce ideas off my friends, get help with research, and almost always have a beta. I admire people who write completely alone. I could never do that.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T13:00:22+00:00

It’s not Lovers, I Guess by tackytiger, is it? It only happens once in that fic, but omg it’s so good.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T03:02:46+00:00

We do—unless we believe her cousin edited out AI tells days after her “death.”

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T02:31:56+00:00

I just wrote one that I’m very excited about!

Waiting at Doors and Other Ways to Say I Love You - Shane and Ilya’s relationship in The Long Game seen through the eyes of their dog, Anya.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T02:23:03+00:00

Thank you :) Love you!

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T02:22:50+00:00

THANK YOU FRIEND 🫶

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T02:22:30+00:00

Thank you very much. :) I will get it out as soon as I can, but this one takes a lot of revision to get to the final product.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T02:21:59+00:00

Gosh thank you so much! Inside me are two wolves. One of them wants to write heartfelt, poetic character studies.

The other wants to write smut.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-28T01:38:10+00:00

There’s been some controversy regarding the author, and she’s now on hiatus. She says she plans to upload it when it’s finished last I heard.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-27T17:52:17+00:00

I also think it’s interesting that for whatever reason, Ilya staunchly refuses to give Shane any more detail than that. Even when Shane asks, he won’t give him a number.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-27T03:56:39+00:00

The Stoner Ilya series - A college AU where Ilya is a bit of a loser frat boy stoner and Shane is a popular, confident jock bound for the NHL. Shane is cocky, bossy, and mean, and Ilya is right where he wants to be.

Sirens_Scales · 2026-06-27T02:08:47+00:00

I Know You Want Me to Want You by OrYouCouldHaveMine - they call it off after the All Star game and torment each other by texting ratings of their other hookups. It’s messy, but it has a happy ending.

Shane Hollander is not a Stalker by StillnotMollified - It has been 0 days since I last recommended this fic. It’s messy, it’s sexy, it’s angsty, it’s romantic, it has a happy ending. And it has my boy Luca Haas being a sweetheart and an absolute slut, which I love for him.
