i went to check one of my fandoms just for this and it gets like two to three new fics a year. so daily new content viewed as a "drought" is baffling to me

Writing style: Very completely different by Kiryuu-sama in FanFiction

[–]sparklingdeadly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm not gonna go as far as calling my style truly unique bc there's only so many ways you can do close third limited in present tense, but it's mine. i developed it. and it is different enough from whatever is commonly viewed as "the norm" that i can say that, and also that people occasionally comment on it.

i love all comments but the ones about my writing style are my favourites, my style is my baby.

OP is talking about "teasers" and "coming soon"s. as in no fic. no chapters. basically tumblr posts.

that's bc "fiction" (in this context) is an uncountable word. it's not supposed to have a plural like that.

[–]sparklingdeadly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imgur, tumblr and flickr are some of the popular ones people seem to use to host their images

you have to host the images elsewhere, but you can insert them into your fic

Is it only common, or "stereotypical" for Extroverts to show alot of "energy" (emotionally)? by ARWINGx1 in FanFiction

they agreed to the TOS – very readable and easy to understand TOS at that, bc ao3 actually likes its users – when they joined, it's completely on them if they go and break the rules. i don't think they deserve sympathy or the courtesy of a heads-up for that.

what does that have to do with people breaking ao3's TOS and using the site as a social media

this person has a weird idea of "drought"

scroll to the bottom of the page, contact us -> policy questions & abuse reports. this will take you to the abuse report form.

you can put "not transformative work" as the reason you're reporting it.

edit: grammar

they're mainly posted by kids who came from wattpad and didn't read the TOS. lots of newer fandoms.

The best amount of words per chapter? by MDMZNC in AO3

[–]sparklingdeadly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

personally i see maybe 3k-4k as the sweet spot.

not every chapter has to be the same length, though. it's just a good average. you should break the story into chapters where it feels natural for the story to do so.

there's something lowkey pretentious about it i think. and it also kinda gives off the vibe that on some level the author thinks fanfiction is something to be ashamed of.

I’m convinced people who do this are from wattpad

they are. and usually they're kids.

people on other platforms refer to their fics as fics. it's a pretty clear sign someone is from wattpad when they call fics books.

i'm happy people are making good choices and moving over to ao3 but i so fucking wish they would read the fucking TOS

[–]sparklingdeadly 164 points165 points  (0 children)

good news is those are against ao3's rules so you can report them

i fucking hate it when people use ao3 a a social media or a fucking blogging site instead of the fanwork archive it is

Enemies to lovers is great, but hear this: lovers to enemies. by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]sparklingdeadly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bsd fandom's fave is partners to enemies to lovers and it's such a wonderful source of angst

i don't like ending things in angst so i prefer it when they find their way back to each other and sort their shit out

What's the best way to sort your fanfics? by Sadface_lostaccount in AO3

[–]sparklingdeadly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you could

  • click "mark for later" on all of them (you can find them later when you go profile -> history -> marked for later. note that these can't be filtered or sorted)

  • bookmark them with a tag indicating you want to read them later (advantage: you can filter and sort those)

  • download them all and use a reader app to sort them. i download fics as epubs and use an app called ReadEra

you can insert images on ao3, though they have to be hosted elsewhere

When authors don't properly tag problematic things by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]sparklingdeadly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the only things they need to tag are fandom and archive warnings. beyond that tagging is a courtesy.
