Me Looking Through AO3: Ughhh I Need To Find A Fic To Read

I also just want to say that BRTC reached 1k hits the other day, and is only a few kudos off from 100, and i’m absolutely mind-blown that my little trans disabled Remus fic has been looked at that many times and paid a little compliment by that many individual people. I really had no expectations for this fic when I posted it. I had hopes, of course, but I didn’t expect anything to come from it, so having it get this much love is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much to everyone who’s shown interest, checked it out, given it kudos, and commented 💛💛💛

Sirius writes dumb love notes in the margins of Remus’s textbooks. Stuff like “I’d let you ruin me with your grammar corrections.” Remus finds them during class and turns beet red every time.

Once again thinking about little 11 year old Remus who has a big fat obvious crush on Sirius that he writes about in his diary ❤️

reblog if people r allowed to send u asks as if theyre ur friend. wanna tell me how ur day went? do it!!! ask me for advice? sure! ask a personal question? go right on ahead!

just to add on, this is absolutely true when it comes to people shitting on fics just to shit on them (eg not liking characterizations). this does NOT apply, however, when people are calling out racism and making other such important and valid criticisms. (this is not directed at op, they didn’t say anything about this! i just wanted to say it because i’ve also seen some people yelling at people for calling out racism and that is not okay)

Yall need to remember that no matter how popular a fic gets (even if it’s literally the most popular fic on ao3) it still goes against fandom etiquette to publicly hate on it or say that it’s bad. Those opinions belong in private conversations or in your private bookmarks, nowhere else. Fanfics are gifts that we aren’t entitled to, and we have to treat them as such.

BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

Reblog if you are a fanfiction author and would like your readers to put one of your fic titles in your ask + questions about it

Happy birthday Remus
