If you ever feel like you don't contribute to fandom because you "only" comment—
A regular serial commenter just joined a fandom Discord server I'm on and people are coming out of the woodwork to thank her for her service to the fandom, expressing how much joy her comments on their works bring them.
Remember—they're never only comments.

I wrote a whole chapter on the “how Owen joined Chimera” fic I’m working on in my notes app (sometimes when I’m half asleep in bed I’ll write a bit and get carried away so it was quite a lot of writing). ANYWAY I opened my notes app on my Mac and I guess iCloud synced them up but overwrote the newest version with the old version so THE CHAPTER’S GONE. Thanks Apple, 10/10 product -_-

have you ever read a fanfic so good that you wanted to write a fanfic about that fanfic, but was too shy / too intimidated to ask for the author’s permission and too afraid that your writing wouldn’t be half as good as theirs and that it would be an insult to their work that was basically a literal masterpiece, so you just sat there fantasizing about their work and how beautiful it was and how you wished you could just eat it and how you wished canon could write your blorbos half as good as this writer did and how you just wanted to cry because you just loved that fic so much????

no pressure to update, im just curious---when will the next chapter of ur werewolf au is out????????? im actually so feral about ur writing and i need to know /lh
No pressure at all, thanks for asking! So glad you’re excited for it ^u^
I’m aiming for sometime tomorrow or Friday at the latest, it’s all written I just haven’t had the time to go through it one last time to check for mistakes yet. Currently fighting with getting my prescription renewed which is what’s slowing me down, they won’t let me do it online and wait times for actual clinics here are hours long apparently, so it depends entirely on how fast I can get in and out of the clinic tomorrow lol

One of my FAVOURITE ship dynamics to write or read in fics is when two characters are basically already a couple but they just haven’t realised it yet. They call each other up at like 3am, they cuddle, they sleep in the same bed, they fall asleep in each other’s arms, they hold hands, they practically live together, they talk about having a ~ special connection ~, they just haven’t actually kissed or done the do or talked about their feelings yet so they’re still both like “but I just don’t know if they like me in that way!!”

Doing another poll to see which fic I should finish next because they motivate the hell out of me for some reason
Clivesdale AU - Basically modern day AU where Curt’s tasked with finding the DMA in Clivesdale, but every agent keeps getting killed so his survival odds aren’t good (and Owen’s not happy about it)
Fluffy smut - Just some smut I wrote that ended up being pretty fluffy, I want to do kinkier stuff but can never think of anything (please send me asks for specific kinks and stuff I will gladly write them!)
Vampire Owen smut - Speaking of kinkier but also somehow fluffy smut, the first pass of this is done. I wanna tweak it a bit before releasing it though and I’m procrastinating
Werewolf Curt Part 2 - Some witches help turn “Scruffy” into a human again and Owen has to come to terms with that (I mean he’s been telling “Scruffy” terrible shit about Curt for years, saying how much he hates Curt….)
Chimera Story - Working on Owen’s pov of joining Chimera and going after Curt. This is a big one, multi chaptered and would also continue past the end of the musical to explain how/why Curt wasn’t ever able to take down Chimera. This idea’s been floating around in my head for years, I really should finish writing it but idk if anyone would want that since it doesn’t have too much interaction between Curt and Owen, mostly just Owen struggling with constantly thinking about Curt
PEIP AU - Wilbur Cross has such Owen vibes that I love the idea that he actually is Owen somehow (currently headcanoning that he actually would have died that day he slipped but he can survive in the Black and White, and very few humans can do that, so Wiggly saved him by opening a tiny portal and got Tinky to make him immortal the same way Holloway is) anyway ignore that headcanon because it doesn’t apply to this fic I wrote a while back. I guess it’s sort of reincarnation AU but Owen/Wilbur remembered his life as Owen when he went into the Black and White, Curt/Howie remembers during the events of Black Friday when he goes into the Black and White, so it’s Owen gloating over tricking Curt into starting WWIII (but with a happy ending because idk why)
Something else! Send me an ask or reply in the tags with suggestions

after several discussions that left me baffled, let me throw this out to the masses: do you look at ao3's icons when you're looking for a fic to read?

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
Tumblr media
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
Tumblr media
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

I love your Vampire Owen AU! And your Werewolf Curt AU! I probably just like toxic supernatural Curtwen, to be honest. But you write them so well and I've been constantly rereading them. Very tasty. I approve.
Thank you so much, this means a lot! ^u^ I’m definitely writing more for both those AUs, love adding a supernatural element to their relationship to make it even more toxic and/or angsty haha

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

how do people come up with titles?
why can't we just number fics like classical composers did with their stuff?
"tentacle porn No. 8 in [fandom], [pairing], op. 57"
that would solve so many problems

I did a poll to see which of my fics to finish and it actually helped motivate me to finish one so I’m doing it again; I found more wips
Clivesdale AU
I have a modern day Clivesdale AU where Curt’s tracking down the deadliest man alive and meets Owen, who works at a little coffee shop, who keeps trying to get Curt to leave so he doesn’t get killed. Every agent who’s ever tried to track down the DMA gets killed, why should Curt be any different?
Werewolf AU Sequel
Owen finds out that his wolf friend was actually a werewolf and gets a collar that can change him back (surprise, it’s Curt!)
2024 AU
Just Owen having a nightmare, he and Curt have a talk about things they’re afraid of
Vampire Owen AU
Had a vampire Owen AU to go alongside the Werewolf Curt AU. Instead of killing Owen at the staircase scene (and he’s not sure a bullet would have killed a vampire anyway) Curt offers to let Owen drink from him so he wouldn’t have to kill other people as a food source. Owen makes it as painful as possible.
In this AU we also find out that Chimera’s an organisation that’s trying to make “monsters” legal, or at least find somewhere where they can live without being hunted by humans.
Random P3IP fic
Vaguely remember writing this forever ago, there’s smut in this one.
Random Curtwen smut
Just like the tin says, I want to write more smut. Send me prompts or kinks and I’ll try and write it (could be any Hatchetfield ship too, just the 18+ ones though, don’t feel comfortable writing teenager smut)
