Potential Virus Risk on AO3 Comments
Hey everyone. So, I wanted to make a post about something I've seen in AO3 comments recently and I wanted to let y'all know so you can be careful.
Today, on two separate fics of mine, I got comments from guests with different names that had what looks like a key smash followed by a weird link. They looked like this:
Now, it is possible that these are legit comments and these links lead to nothing bad. But, in my experience, this looks like a classic phishing scam or a link to a virus. Honestly, I never open links I see online unless I know for sure I can trust the source. And even then I'm a bit hesitant, since I know that accounts can be hacked. I actually deleted the first email and comment immediately and didn't really think about it again. However, after getting another comment that was almost identical but from a guest with a different name, it makes me think that this might be something bad.
So, if you see these kinds of comments, unless you know exactly who sent it, I'd recommend just deleting them and not clicking on the links. Honestly, even if you know who sent it, I'd still be careful just in case they got hacked. If someone wanted to send you a legit link, they would probably do it with some kind of comment beforehand saying what the link actually leads to. This seems to me like they're trying to prey off curiosity and it can lead to some nasty stuff. Since I know some AO3 writers and readers follow me, I thought I'd post about it here. Similarly, if you see a comment like this on someone's fic, maybe don't click on it either. Again, I can't guarantee this is anything bad, since I definitely did not click on the links, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If y'all could reblog this to spread the word, I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, be careful out there guys! I got burned a few too many times as a kid, so I'm extra careful with links and things now, ha.
EDIT: Apparently, these links are indeed malicious. I checked them in an online link checker, and it detected one malicious source from the link in the second message, but 12 malicious sources in the link from the first message. So, it's pretty clearly a virus or phishing scam. Please be aware!
fanfics are one of the best things that humanity has come up with. i fucking love reading stories about my favorite characters from people who have the same brainrot as me
My hopes and prayers have been answered!!!
Finally able to give more than one kudos!
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!

HEYY PHIGHTERS!!
HEY GUYS!! If you saw my friend @lottes-web 's post, that's right I'm WRITING AN ANGSTY SERIES ON AO3! It's a Hypertana fic that's planned to have several chapters filled with both angst and denial and hurt no comfort.
The title of the fic is Forgive Yourself, Hyperlaser. Go check it out if you would like a good angsty fic!
Here are some Armor Digivolutions I made and their crests! These are all for my fic, The Quirkless Digidestined, where Izuku and Mei get sucked into the digital world and meet their digimon partners! It's a crossover between Digimon Adventure:02 and Boku No Hero Academia. Anyways credit goes to sLacka18 for the crest of diligence!
HELLO ALL AO3 USERS! IM LOOKING FOR A BNHA FIC WHERE KIRISHIMA CARRIES IZUKU THROUGH THE SEA OF REPORTERS. THERE WERE TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH HIM. PLZ HELP ME FIND IT!
Ao3 Dump
Returned to my Archive of Our Own roots. I've read the Second Life series by Fulcrum55 about 3 times now and couldn't help it when inspiration struck. De-aged clones, Domino Squad reunion, hitting in the feels - what more could you ask for? (╥﹏╥)
I would highly recommend checking it out if you are as obsessed with Clone Wars as I am. :]
https://archiveofourown.org/series/2657929
Feel free to check out the progress as I attempt digital art. :D
NEXT
Literally me every time I try to write an original work.
finishing something in the Orange and forgot that it was in 1st person. I am not used to writing in that anymore. fuck this.
so tempted to do a switch but there's not even 2 scenes left to write.
just gonna tough it out then I can go back to my baby (third person)
the shit 14 year old sad girls can make man
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
Still looking for a good fic about healthy relation Touya y’all. The struggle is so real I might have to put it on my big list of ‘tropes I’m going to write to prove they don’t have to be cringe’.😔
I just (re) started tumblr. I’m pretty active on ao3 and TikTok, but decided it would be nice to post here too. I’ll post primarily about mha fanfic ideas, oneshots, and AUs on here. Idk how active I’ll be or if I’ll even really use this, but tumblr might be worth another shot now that it’s no longer 2013…
I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
Fic Rec 2025 (AO3 Master list... Part 2)
hi guys here's part 1 of this fic rec post... it has my bookmarked collection of AOT fics and my MHA fics in there, so check it out if you want 😉 tumblr wouldn't let me do a huge long post and I have way too many fics to recommend (bc I have way too much time on my hands) but here is my continuation of my AO3 master list featuring Haikyu!! and other random fics that melt my brain...
part 1 of my AO3 Master list My full bookmark list on AO3 My Dramione Fic Recs 2020 and 2021
My Hero Academia (MHA part 1 list here)
EndHawks
just like magic by justhavesex
EndHawks is weird ship that oddly works, and is actually super hot. This fic is hot and sweet at the same time. Endeavor’s kids are little and not super traumatized, just neglected. But Omega Keigo is ready to swoop in and fix this family. Little Sho is so cute in this, it’s actually soooo cute. Also Alpha Endeavor is so Zaddy. 10/10 fic.
this house of cards by justhavesex
“Home wrecking” sugar baby fic. Endeavor’s kids are actually hilarious and so is Hawks. Another family dynamic fic.
Other Gems
the stars are floating and we are flying by @prettytodoroki
Shoto centric fic that I've read multiple times. I like dissociation fics because it’s such an interesting topic, and i love when authors incorporate it in such a creative way. Very angsty, so get ready to get in your feels.
Dedicate Your Hearts, Plus Ultra by BattleAngel
MHA/AOT crossover. Izuku and Eren Yeager are the main characters. its actually insane. Lots of Angst. Lots of yelling (of course bc Eren is present). Prepare yourself for this journey.
Saving Deku by kyramidoriya
Not a big fan of DekuBako ships, but this one is good bc Bakugo is an omega and not an asshole lol
Primetime authors:
justhavesex
Some crazyyyy stories from this author, but some good shit in there. Love their writing. I read TodoBaku and EndHawks from them. 10/10
Esselle
some great gems with this writer. I read TodoDeku and TodoBaku from them, but they have so many other ships and their stories are great.
PitViperOfDoom
Creator of Yesterday Upon the Stair. Master of TodoDeku. Love them.
Okay. That was a lot. I kind of went crazy with these. Again, I have more listed on my bookmarks page.
On to the next!
Haikyu!!
Haikyu is the first anime I’ve ever watched and my comfort show fr. I think Hinata is by far my favorite character ever, he’s just so cute and such a beast. I also love the side characters just as much as the main. Most of these fics aren’t really volleyball heavy, but it’s the hot characters that make the story *cough* Akaashi *cough*. Some really cute fics in this fandom.
featuring...
BokuAka SakuAtsu Hinata with everyone basically
BokuAka
In Another Life by LittleLuxray
Devastating. Awful. Get ready to cry. One of the most popular fics ever. So bad. But so good 😫
tea-stained polaroids by dalyeau
There’s fan art with this one shot that I literally cannot get over. This fic is so so cute and so fluffy, it’s to die for. Such a good read
Rules by ConesOfDunshire
First long fic I read of BokuAka and it was worth it. One of my fav fics I’ve ever read. The characterization of Bokuto and Akaashi is so good and so well thought out. They are so cute in this and learn to love each other despite their flaws. So cute. Literally gag me.
Upstairs by yoogiboobi
Very hot and sexy one shot of upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
down, boy by okamiwind
BDSM heavy fic. Sub Bokuto. Very hot and sexy (and consensual)
SakuAtsu
Dysfunctional by lettersinpetals
Couldn't get enough of this story. Was so cute and so angsty and I hated them both but loved them so much.
Stick With You by lettersinpetals
Oh, this one is hot. Like really fucking sexy. The funniest thing in this fic is that Miya doesn’t last very long… Sexy and angsty. Loved reading this one.
again, like this by @noodletastic
Classic sexy time fic. Ya know I really love this ship bc Miya and Sakusa are both extremely hot and the writers never fail to remind me that they are both sculpted like gods and extremely good in bed.
hand study by morgeia
Dom/sub fic with Kiyoomi as a sweetheart. My favorite thing in dom/sub fics is when the sub goes into headspace and their dom takes care of them. It just warms my heart. Very smutty, 10/10
Hinata with everyone basically
Stop Them by @yamayama--kun
Hinata/Kenma one shot. Very fast read and very fluffy and very very cute. They are so smoll.
Catnip for Setters by @boomturkey
Everyone simps for Hinata. So cute and fluffy.
Alright. That was the bulk of my bookmarks for specific fandoms. But there’s more! (I’m almost done I promise). I found the rest of these fics by looking at AO3 tags, reddit, and other tv shows I've watched. AO3 is boundless.
These fics I just can’t seem to forget about.
SK8 The Infinity
Reki/Langa
Only Practice Makes Perfect by @skaylanphear
So spicy. Like so fucking spicy it's insane. If you’re into reading gay shit (like, really fucking gay) this is the thing for you. It was hot. Yea. The plot is really good, too. I was entertained from start to finish. One of my favorite fics ever. 10/10
Toy story
Andy/Sid
Under the Table and Dreaming by hollycomb
I found this gem on reddit, and I am so glad I stuck with it. One of my fav fics ever. I wasn't expecting much from a Toy Story fandom fic, but boy was I wrong. I loved reading every word of this fic and I ate it tf up. It is so uniquely crafted and beautifully written. Love this fic. 10/10
Game of Thrones
Lyanna Stark/Rhaegar Targaryen
Hell Is Empty by ashotofjac
A whole revamp of their relationship and a really romantic one at that. Arranged marriage instead of kidnapping. Mature and sweet Rhaegar. Protective Jamie (no incest, thank god). Badass Lyanna. Great GOT Romance Fic.
Interview with the vampire
Lestat/Louis
cord of communion by themasterletters
I haven't really ventured into this fandom, but I finished season 2 of this show and I needed a little more with two those. The show is so fucking hot that I don’t really need to read anything about them bc I love their story. But this a modern day fic with Lestat as a rockstar, Claudia is his daughter, and Louis is Claudia’s babysitter. Very fluffy, angsty, and smutty.
Batman & DCU Comics
Thunderstorms by flames_dance
I was looking for a sweet Werewolf comfort fic and I found one. I don’t know who these characters are relative to the fandom, but it’s a really sweet fic about finding your found family. Really cute
Kpop, EXO band
the song beat in your chest by daestruct
Another werewolf fic with yet another fandom I know nothing about. ABO dynamics with a deaf Alpha taking care of his omega. Very cute fic
OKAAYYYYY. What a journey. When I ventured out of the Dramione fandom and found so many other amazing writers and stories, I knew I was fucked. These stories give me love and give me life.
Now I wish I could say I was done, but I just have a couple of more Harry Potter/Dramione fics that I’ve read recently.
Harry Potter
All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89
Like actually the best piece of literature I have ever read. Up there with Manacled. I laughed, cried, and screamed with this fic. When I finished it, I did not know what to do with my life. I’ve read this fic like three times and its so good every single time. Absolutely devastating but amazing. One of fucking favs. 10000/10
All the Young Dudes - Sirius's Perspective by @rollercoasterwords
Fav. Fav. Fav. Just as good as the original, maybe even better (dare I say… FUCK IT THEY’RE BOTH SPECTACULAR). Messed me up so bad. Also did not know what to do with my life when I finished it. 10000/10
Dramione
I Will Make You Proud by Wheredoesshego
Time travel. Draco has always loved Hermione and tried his very best to protect her. I hadn’t read Dramione in a while, but I found this fic and had to bookmark it. It was great
Brand New World by NinaBinaBallerina
Possessive Draco and Badass Hermione. Like actually so badass its not even funny. She’s super powerful and smart and gorgeous and amazing and… It’s really good. Long, but worth it.
Secrets of Malfoy Manor by Beforetherealbook
Hermione, Draco, and Malfoy Manner (yes it’s a sentient being) growing closer and learning secrets about each other. Refreshing fic with great writing and great Dramione.
Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by @isthisselfcare
I actually laughed out loud reading this fic. It’s so funny and the writing is so so so good. Their dynamic is so funny and they fit each other so fucking well. Another 10/10 fic that I’ve read multiple times. Its so good
okay. i’m done. bye
I made this handy dandy chart for how to write Cybertronian units of time.
WHAAAT??? THIS IS SO COOL
So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:
It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.
It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)
Wrote a thing based on a shit ton of Cryptid Batfam I've read and seen on both AO3 and here. I'm still working on the second chapter, which will be more detailed regarding lore.
Enjoy.
A little peak on the story.
I'm making a original story with original characters, on ao3. I know this website are for fans that writes fictional stories about their favorite characters but I don't where else to write my stories other than here. Also I need someone to check my story before I post it because I'm a big perfectionist when it comes to these. You won't get anything in return, but you would certainly get a thank you from me! Ahaha.. But actually though I would really appreciate if someone checks it since again- I'm a perfectionist. so yeah.
(Click the picture to see better)
I definitely had a serious struggle switching from Wattpad, where people seemed to constantly care about your fic and you a lot to ao3 where everything about it was better and bigger and more professional...
But no one seemed to care.
Even if they did care, it didn't feel like it because I was never given any feedback. And if I'm going to be perfectly honest, the crisis of not knowing whether the hundreds of hours I've spent on something actually positively affected people is hitting me all over again. And it feels a lot like the isolation of quarantine leaking into my escape circles. Except this time, I sunk hours and hours and my whole heart into trying to reach out and enjoy things with others only for the response to be silence.
No one reblogs on tumblr anymore.
No one leaves comments on Ao3 anymore.
Seriously people the lack of fandom interaction these days makes me genuinely depressed, it never used to be like this, makes me wonder what's the point of coming online to do anything anymore.
Reblog a post so other people can see it.
Leave a comment so the author doesn't feel like giving up.
Fandom cannot live on Likes or Kudos alone.
So, I wrote a dadow fic. I'm a sucker for found family, and dadow is underrated.
ENJOY.
