Me, Actively Not Writing: Wow This Fic Is Gonna Be So Good

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

Hihi!

I'm Ray/Raven, 20, nb, she/they, looking for 18+ ppl to rp a wlw (f/f) hazbin hotel rp with!!

I'm a massive multishipper so I'm down for a lot of ships, and I also love doing poly ships, the bigger the better! I love headcanons, gender and sexuality especially as well as backstory and general headcanons!

As I said, looking for hazbin hotel rps. Romance, slice of life and drama, and nsfw as well. I'm looking for cute fluff as well, and I can play juat about any character from the ships listed below. Plot ofc, and background ships with plot are very welcome!

Please only interact if you will bw active! I've had too many people say they wish to rp and then ghost me. I understand if you become busy but please let me know! I'm looking for someone active who wont ghost me after the first message.

Ships:

• Chaggie (charlie/vaggie)

• emilute (emily/lute)

• royalhalo (emily/charlie or emily/charlie/vaggie)

• Chaggie×emilute (charlie/vaggie/emily/lute)

I roleplay on discord! I ask that my rp partners be at least semi-lit, and be patient as I'm a university student who works part time, but I'll try to answer often!

Please interact if interested and I'll send you my discord tag! I apologise if I take a while to respond

,

Quick info and rules rundown:

I'm trying to fill in a niche that is often negleted in tumblr writing spaces! I want to write canon characters only (which means no x reader or y/n).

I write drabbles and one shots as well as headcanons.

This will most likely be smut-free but other mature content may appear - properly tagged of course.

I will write ship, platonic or character-focused content.

I mainly write for Genshin Impact but I might do something for Honkai Star Rail, even though I am not up to date.

I take requests.

I feel so sad whenever I see people talk about being late to make fanart..

This isnt school + fanart doesn't have a due date + fandom doesn't expire + your art will have its place in the world + i love you

Doubts - Part 1

Part 2 - soonish

AO3 Etiquette

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.

If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.

This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

Im doing artfight this year again! Bit late to post cause i got sick right at the start and also had to drive home after my holiday 😭😂

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.
