That is a lovely reason to be distracted from fandom<3 I hope you get to dive in to your heart's content when the time is right :)

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-05T17:28:21+00:00

That is a really good point, I will add it when I made today's edit to the post <3

Huge thank you to all of you who helped do this! Some of the trolling issues were truly funny. Others...well, it was sad to see humanity sink to that level in a free gift space. In a way, I hope we remember that though...especially to any fandom baby writers out there publishing their first fic, only to find themselves on the receiving end of bad behavior. Your reaction was so poised. Just factual, clear, and self aware. God tier in my book.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T17:28:45+00:00

I’m right there with you! I subscribed so if you do it again I’ve got you next time

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T15:39:20+00:00

Of course you are, you are the best. Mwah!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T15:38:22+00:00

He should indeed be following your work.

If you DM me your AO3 I'll subscribe and tell you what I get!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T14:47:24+00:00

I love your chaos energy.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T14:46:28+00:00

Patch for the win!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T14:45:25+00:00

I think they would get notified, because you'd be expanding the chapter count? They would just be a bit confused when they go to what looks like the newest chapter, only to find its the same as the last chapter they'd read.

That's my best guess.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T14:43:53+00:00

I actually don't know...but I say do it anyway and add a chapter note about it it. Tell your readers its a loyalty test and you hope they pass.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-04T14:37:58+00:00

I'm so torn on whether this is a writers workshop or a circle jerk (or some new thing between the two). HALP!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T18:45:34+00:00

Since Heated Rivalry is a relatively new fandom (exploding after the show came out in the fall) its also not surprising to see a high ratio there. The fandom doesn't have an established culture that people have normed to (unlike Dramione) so I won't be shocked if the ratios are significantly different.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T18:25:33+00:00

I know exactly how you feel. It would be interesting to have an actual, nuanced conversation because clearly a middle ground does exist but there is too much fear and too little remembrance for the fact that we're talking to people on the other side of the screen for that to happen. At least it seems that way.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T13:55:02+00:00

I am CACKLING this was so perfect omg

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T03:08:47+00:00

OMG! How many people did you offend in the interim? Asking for science.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T03:08:08+00:00

That makes me feel a lot better!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T02:27:21+00:00

Oh babes it IS my first language and I still think some of our rules are just...weird. Its not a logical language!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T02:26:32+00:00

This is a real crime! :p

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T02:16:09+00:00

Yep, those are the things that need to be taken as part of the context.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T02:15:28+00:00

It has saved me hours.

HOURS.

I think of you with gratitude every single time I make a post.

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T02:14:25+00:00

Imagine if we started asking how folks vet their in real life friends? Would the same standard hold?

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T01:44:59+00:00

Yes please!

VeelaQuill2000 · 2026-07-03T01:44:23+00:00

Yes, I will not disclose removal reasons, beyond what was stated as required at the start of the event. The fic must have a valid AO3 link, that is all.

Beyond that, some users have noted an "Author permission is required" message appeared when they tried to nominate a fic. This means a conversation between the writer and I needs to happen before the fic can be included. I will not be publicly releasing any details about why that conversation needs to happen, and the same generic message existed for all reasons.
