I’m sorry in that I am not sorry OP.

A question for fanfiction readers & lovers

please reblog for a bigger sample size, and help out a writer who's unsure on how to organize their first long fic:)

since I've seen it talked about in several places recently:

if you are going to do a whump- or kink- or ANY-tober or other similar challenges please please please don't post them as one fic with 31 chapters unless it actually is one coherent fic. if they're 31 completely separate fics or ficlets then please just make a collection for them or just post them as separate fics. it doesn't matter if they're only 100 words or if you think they're too small or insignificant to post alone, they're not.

and why this?

because if you post all 31 of them in one fic the tagging is absolutely useless. if I look for things to read on ao3 I'm gonna look at the tags, and if the tags include something that's a dealbreaker for me, i won't even click on the fic. I might not even SEE the fic because I've filtered out the nope-tag! so I'm gonna lose out on reading 30 perfectly nice fics because of one fic that my nope-tag applied to.

ao3 is about archiving. it's about clear tagging and being informative. there is nothing informative about it if the tags in the fic apply to random chapters while others have nothing to do with it. it makes so much more sense to have each work as an individual fic with its own individual tags and warnings, so readers can make informed choices.

of course, you do you. I can't police what other people decide to do. but personally, I find it incredibly frustrating to weed through 31 chapters to find the ones I actually want to read. so I don't. I automatically scroll past all works posted like that. and I know some others do, too.

there is absolutely no shame in posting short things on ao3. there is no minimum word count. no one is going to look at you funny if you post a small ficlet on its own, I promise. it's just going to make some readers very happy when they can actually find the things they want to read.

so, please. at least consider the upsides of posting each work as their own fic.

signed, one very frustrated fandom grandma.

What to do when you don’t like a fic: a step by step guide

Step 1:

Amazing tutorial I recommend to everyone!

Works flawlessly every time. Highly recommended.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

An actual World Heritage Post

how does this post not have a million notes but anyone online can quote it

What possesses a person to rate a fic in the bookmarks of it, knowing that the authors see it?

Who are these for? For authors? For you? For the people that look at your page? Do you actually have an army of cocksuckers that thirst for your intellectual opinion on written gay sex? Or is it just an ego thing, and the Nabokov-ian urge to note down your own opinion? Something like masturbating in front of the mirror?

Or has capitalism sledgehammered your brain so fucking much that you now think everything can and should be represented in numbers from 1 to 10? Or do you just not know any other numbers?

No shame (full shame) just curious.

DCMK Comedy AU where the Black Org isn’t really threatening. Everything is more low stakes and the tone and situations are a lot more sillay

In this AU Shinichi just goes on with his life like normal after being shrunk. Attending school, solving cases, etc. He’s still hellbent on taking down the organization but they honestly couldn’t give a damn about this weird kid who doesn’t really pose a threat.

You can read more about the comedy au >>here!<<

(Sorry for shit quality I fucked up the canvas size)

Heiji tries to find Shinichi after he doesn’t see him on the news anymore. Little does he know Shinichi is literally right there and everybody knows it but him.
