hi so i made a uquiz that will tell you what color is your writing? 

i hope you have fun and enjoy it! i would love it if you reblogged your result and told me if you agreed/disagreed with it!! 

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.

a phannie therapist, if you're reading this, *mwah*

to you, it's a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it's a fire line that'll haunt them for the next 17 years.

you don't know how impactful your writing is because it's been in your brain for far too long now. you've stared at it for hours and repeated "this sucks" over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.

but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone's gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go "jesus fucking christ" and put the book down to have an existential crisis.

Hey it's the anon from phanfictioncatalogue! It's for real yeah :) I was 18 and already studying media production but didn't know what exactly I wanted to do - but reading your fic made me realize what an interesting and emotionally intense (in a good way?) world there exists in the music industry and how beautiful it is that bad experiences can be turned into art. I really wanted to work in that environment so I went to uni for that, and recently I started an internship at my country's biggest agency/production company. Literally all these years just following the feeling that your fic gave to me! I actually only just remembered the details of what inspired me to do all this as I heard some stuff at the office that reminded me of the fic's plot. You're such a good writer, thank you! I wish you good things in life!

Oh thank you SO MUCH! (Also, I gotta say, given that my knowledge of the music industry comes exclusively from artist biographies and producers’ blogs and articles, rather than firsthand knowledge, I’m glad to hear that things you’re hearing at the office remind you of things I wrote about! XD Clearly I did an okay job on this! Go me!! haha) Congratulations on the internship! I hope you do well in your career. I’m so glad I had some small part in you finding what your calling was. It takes a long time for us to figure out what we’re meant to do and what gives us fulfillment, and knowing I helped that process along for someone just means the absolute world to me. Thank you again. :)

Hey anon :) This was my fic. Well, still IS my fic, haha. I've been really struggling lately with finishing it up (I posted about it earlier today) and seeing you request this is... really something I needed. So thank you. Honestly, thank you so much. :)

Hey! In 2018 I read a really long chaptered fic with Dan as a musician and Phil was his manager and they eventually fell in love. The author was inspired by some IRL artist's biography, and the fic followed Dan's career throughout the years. If the fic has been deleted, does anyone remember it's author? I'd like to tell them their fit literally made me realise I wanted to work in music production and soon I've got a career out of it lol

Is it this one?
