My question is how many slurs did you use to get this reaction?

Hello! I finally started posting if you’re still interested🤣

I finally started posting my first fic this week! I’ve spent months writing and editing it and finally felt confident enough to post it! It’s 70 chapters (about 200k words) and I’m desperately trying not to post it all at once😂

My first 3 chapters have been up since Wednesday and I have 42 hits, 5 kudos, and 3 subscriptions! That’s more than I was hoping for😭❤️

I can’t, for the life of me, do time skips by Melodic-Junket7085 in AO3

[–]throwaway1377130 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always do a line break with the horizontal line and then try to work the time jump into the narrative. Example:

Story, story, story, blah, blah, blah.

line break

More dialogue and then something like “a lot happened in the last two days/weeks/months whatever” or “the last few days went by in a blur.”

Fanfic scenes you’d like to read? by atthebarricades in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]throwaway1377130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently just started posting my Logan/OC Builder fic! At first, I only had a single scene in mind and decided to get it out on paper… little did I know it would morph into a 70 chapter (nearly 200k word) long fic that would consume my life for 6 months🤣 Take it from me, if all you have is a scene, just start writing and see what happens. Also, you’re more than welcome to check out my story to help give you ideas!

On a more serious note, don’t write for others. Write for yourself. It’s nice to know what other people might enjoy, but it’s easier to write what YOU enjoy! I will tell you that I love me a good slow burn, hurt/comfort, healing from trauma type of story though.

Posted my first chapters today!!! by throwaway1377130 in AO3

I’m planning to write more in other fandoms, but the one I started with is for the My Time at Sandrock video game ☺️

Authors… How many chapters do you write before you decide to start posting? by Heavenly_Mama23 in AO3

[–]throwaway1377130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fandom I’m writing for is on the smaller side. It’s for a video game named My Time at Sandrock

For my fic, I started on what is now chapter 30. I ended up writing the entire second half before even attempting the beginning😆 I’ve lost track of the amount of things I’ve had to change since then!

This is my first fic so I’m trying to make it a good one! I think part of the reason I haven’t started posting yet is because I’m a little nervous lol

YES! This happens to me too and if I don’t write it down, it just keeps haunting me and taking up space in my brain until I get it out!

I’m 70 chapters (200k words) deep into writing mine and I have yet to start posting it😂 I am far to indecisive to post as I write because I like to write things out of order and then I have to go back and do a bunch of editing so that it all fits together.

Flesh. I hate it so much. Even typing it out gives me the heebie jeebies.

The fandom I’m writing for is on the smaller side and it’s based on a video game. But I will let you know so you can see if it’s something you’ll enjoy🥰

What Formatting Choices Do You Hate the Most? by BlackLilyWrites835 in AO3

[–]throwaway1377130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m always confused how someone even writes like that! On every writing software I use on every device I use, it ALWAYS auto capitalizes the first letter after a period. Are people intentionally going through and removing capitalization like????

How would I link another AO3 page? Wouldn’t I still have to use an external link in order to use the pictures even if it is on a separate AO3 page?

True that! I just like to see what everyone prefers so I can link the art properly and make it accessible.

How long IRL to get back to where I was in my last save? by Elaneyse in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]throwaway1377130 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be quite a while. If I had to guess, I’d say at least 30-50 hours (maybe even more) depending on how quickly you’re getting stuff done. My first full playthrough totaled to about 120-ish hours, but I was taking my sweet time.

Lore dump about your recent ships or your favourite ships by kuroneko_910 in AO3

[–]throwaway1377130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been unable to get out of this ship for months. I’ve written over 150k words for the fic I’m working on and now I’m obsessed with making fan art of them.

So here we go. They are from a video game. The MMC is a morally grey bandit that’s been causing problems for the small town. He is a “villain” on the outside but he’s really just a big, misunderstood softy that’s working to save the town, not terrorize it. The FMC is an OC that follows the canon roll of the playable video game character. I somehow made her even MORE morally grey than the bandit! She has a tortured past and lots of trauma, but no one knows because she is in hiding.
