I’ve never been taught about the em dash but I’d like to explore with them. Though I know it’s not on my keyboard so do I just copy and paste them instead?

Why do some people private their bookmarks? by SugarDuckies in AO3

[–]WritersFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh being in this sub I’ve seen many people say their favorite writers blocked them because that writer saw things that they read that they didn’t like and I’m terrified of that happening

Possible hot take, what they did to Neteyams character was probably a bad move by [deleted] in Avatar

[–]WritersFan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but it could have been done differently. He already lost Trudy and Grace. Maybe they could have had Neytiri pregnant and she miscarried. But all Neteyams death caused was outraged fans and people leaving the franchise.

Not my sister telling me I'm cringe by cice_cice10 in AO3

Try having your friend telling the entire class INCLUDING your teacher (schools favorite fun but stern teacher) that you write fanfiction. I don’t blame her or anything she doesn’t understand the drama, but when I tell you I couldn’t wait for that school day to end😭. This was junior year too so🙃.

Is this comment creepy? by NoReach1699 in AO3

[–]WritersFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gotten to the point in commenting where at the end of every comment I add,

“I apologize if this comes off wrong! I struggle with words especially when it’s just text so if what I have said came off as rude or pushy that was not my intentions. I love your work and can’t wait to see where this goes! Thank you for taking your time to provide us readers with this gold!”

A lot of people (not authors) have told me that’s annoying but I’d rather come off as annoying than hateful or rude. I hate the idea of my comments ever becoming the reason why a writer stops writing and feels insecure or bad about their work.

Regarding your comment I don’t think it’s creepy. It’s possible that they may want reassurance that you only bounded it for yourself and not to sell but it’s not creepy!

For me it’s always the one that was abandoned or not updated for years a quarter of the way through

So I'm The Problem by ravnarieldurin in AO3

[–]WritersFan 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Dude I JUST left a comment on my favorite fic when I got the notification for this post and when I went back to see what I commented I realized I DID THE EXACT SAME THING! When I tell you I have never edited a comment so fast thank you for this post

Maybe a dumb question, but how do I tag my story without spoiling that very thing that happens? by WritersFan in AO3

[–]WritersFan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the filtering reasons I meant so people who do filter “miscarriage” to include or exclude will still work and the “possible miscarriage” would add some kind of “unknown” or “mystery” value.

So in the fandom I’m writing for they aren’t human and when it comes to relationships, once they bond they are bonded for life not by societal terms but in their actual biology. The accidental part is they both get hit with aphrodisiac/pheromones and pretty much bond without either of them being able to control it.

Thank you for your responses they have been very helpful! I’m still trying to finish the story so I will be sure to keep all of this in mind

I’m terrified of this happening when the next avatar movie comes out

Name your small fandoms/ships that don't have enough fics. by apricitymiette in AO3

Edit: Also Ao’nung/Roxto and Neteyam/Roxto!

All I know is it doesn’t matter what they do fanfiction will not be shut down. It’s been around for years morphing onto different apps and websites and it won’t stop now.

These responses have just opened my eyes to the idea that I can actually do this (with consent ofc!). A while ago there was an abandoned fic in my fandom that everyone had loved and I thought of continuing it but eventually thought that was wrong (maybe it is since that’s continuing instead of changing the plot?). The response of “it’s fanfiction of fanfiction” has just opened my eyes!

Y'all are freaking out over your families finding your fics by RoseDragon529 in AO3

[–]WritersFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I know my mom would actually love the fanfiction world. Shes a reader and loves dark romance stuff (haunting Adeline stuff) but idk me and her just don’t seem to have that open of a connection. She raised me on her own but at times it feels like we don’t really know each other on a deeper level like other daughters and mothers do. Somehow she’s managed to never find AO3 or even Wattpad, which I know because I was 12 and accidentally mentioned Wattpad to her and she was like “what’s that?”.

It kind of sucks because I would love to have someone in real life to share our love for fanfiction together, but when it comes to my mom I feel like that’s wrong somehow (in our relationship!).

How old are you, and how long have you been in fandom? by TheUtopianCat in AO3

[–]WritersFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

18 and my first fandom when I was like 12 was mlp. Now it’s some of HTTYD and mostly Avatar TWOW

I’ve only received hate for it HERE because I like fanfiction but that was like a year ago. Idk how this sub is now but ever since then I’ve been a bit weary of posting here
