I hate the idea of hiding stories from people who don't have an Ao3 account - it's not fair to them when they want to enjoy fanfic. But with AI being such a monster in the writing space, I might have to lock my stories as well. I know there's a good chance it won't stop AI from taking my art, but it's better than doing nothing. This shit sucks
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.
every night I think “wow this might be the night I go to bed early” and every time without fail I fuck it up
Why does tumblr have more inuyasha fans than twitter and blue sky combined??
ADHD culture is saying “what?” when you heard the question someone asked you but… It didn’t fucking… Register… In the brain? And then you hear the question before they ask again and interrupt them when they’re talking because now you’re An Asshole™ who understands

Reblog to let prev know their presence is wanted

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge.
Becca or Becks | author + fanby | all/any pronouns
Completely stealing this idea from @voidvulpine, but here is my intro post + one-stop shop for knowing who the hell you've stumbled across in the wild landscape of tumblr. I'm an author, a fanfic writer, a nerd about town, and I mostly use this space to reblog fandom angst and thirst traps.
Even Gods Need Miracles : Solas x Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition era slow-burn romance
He possessed knowledge beyond any mortal, yet even the Dread Wolf could not foresee what it would mean to fall in love. He does not anticipate his connection with her. Mortal. Dalish. Not a drop of magic in her body save for his own anchor. But no one else can truly understand what it means to become a symbol quite like he does. And she, in turn, parts his layers, his trauma, his pain with gentle fingers and a curious mind. No good can come from the bond forming between them. It will likely be the ruin of them both.
When I Was Afraid to Want You : Rook x Lucanis, Dragon Age: The Veilguard slow-burn romance
It started with that coffee date...and then got immediately complicated from there. Because when you combine two disaster bisexuals who don't know how to communicate their feelings, what you get is an absolute mess. Starting from the almost-kiss and flashing back and forth in Rook and Lucanis's relationship over the course of Veilguard as they gradually try to get their shit together. More or less.
I've written a few. Some have even seen the light of day and appeared on bookshelves.

Hey fanfiction writers: If no one's ever told you this before, it's not just fanfiction.
It's something you spent hours, days, maybe even months on, pouring your heart out onto a page because you were so full of passion and thoughts about a story or characters, you felt like you were going to explode if you didn't get it out. Maybe you lost sleep because your mind was racing with ideas or you forgot to eat or drink water because you were so focused. Maybe your back aches from being hunched over for so long, unmoving. Maybe you even felt like you were going a little feral because you were so excited about what you were creating, or were frustrated when you got stuck. Either way, you put your heart, mind, soul, and body into making something.
It's okay to want people to read it, and it's okay if you're disappointed that they don't or it doesn't get as much of a reaction as you were hoping for. Humans are social creatures. Sure, we write for ourselves, but we also share because the joy of doing so is just as powerful as the joy of the process. Of having created something.
We all experience that joy and that disappointment, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
So it's okay. It's not just fanfiction.
