okay so I was talking with a friend about writing, and I was about to infodump about an au of mine over discord to them because I can't actually write out the ideas rn since ao3 is dOWN-
and they freaked out??? Apparently I'm weird for writing my works *in* ao3? Like I know people usually write in docs or something but I only feel motivated to write when I'm in the ao3 textbox HJLGFJGDH
So now I have a question for fellow writers on ao3:
Late last year I wanted to start a series of short tutorials called Tip Jar, as a way of saying thanks to my fans and giving back to my patrons. This is the first of the series I have made, showing my technique on quickly filling in lineart so you can get to painting without coloring outside the lines faster.
Someday I hope to turn these into video tutorials when I have the income and the time, but for now I hope that I will be able to share useful tips in this infographic format.

Support me on Patreon
They're already past the amount asked, past the double of the amount AND past the triple of the amount.
So yeah, consider donating to those above instead of AO3 for once. They'll be fine.
as ao3 approaches almost 6x what they asked for, here are some other places to give your money to
Iranian American Woman Fund
Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran
Taller Salud (which is non-profit in Puerto Rico currently collecting donations for support after Hurricane Fiona)
Out & Equal (which supports LGBTQ+ during the hiring process + helps defend against workplace discrimination)
The Foundation for AIDS Research
Center for Black Equity (supports the black queer community)
Funds for Writers (which offers grants to aspiring writers so they can afford publication, time off from work, etc.)
The Audre Lorde Project (which directly supports queer POC in New York City)
PEN America (which helps writers in financial need across the United States)
This is an entire list of organizations supporting queer and BIPOC STEM students you can donate to
The BGD Press (which specifically publishes queer POC)
****but if you want to directly support the people who make you free content, the next time your favorite fic writer or artists makes a crowd funding post, opens commissions, talks about their patreon/ko-fi, donate your money there!!****
literally Wikipedia would be better at this point
original tweet from @jamesjyu reads: "We launch Shrink Ray today on Sudowrite! Upload your manuscript and get loglines, blurbs, synopsis, and full outlines automatically. Takes a ton of legwork out of book marketing. Below the tweet are two images of the program."
original quote tweet from @sudowrite reads: "New in Sudowrite: Upload your whole novel/script, get instant longlines (sic), blurbs, synopsis, and outline!"
tweet from @FantasyFaction reads: "Oh jeez! Bad bad, very bad! Writers DO NOT willingly give your manuscript to an AI so it can "learn" by stealing your work! I know blurbs and synopses are hard, but PLEASE do not do this! - JI 🐉
