i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.

since I've seen it talked about in several places recently:
if you are going to do a whump- or kink- or ANY-tober or other similar challenges please please please don't post them as one fic with 31 chapters unless it actually is one coherent fic. if they're 31 completely separate fics or ficlets then please just make a collection for them or just post them as separate fics. it doesn't matter if they're only 100 words or if you think they're too small or insignificant to post alone, they're not.
and why this?
because if you post all 31 of them in one fic the tagging is absolutely useless. if I look for things to read on ao3 I'm gonna look at the tags, and if the tags include something that's a dealbreaker for me, i won't even click on the fic. I might not even SEE the fic because I've filtered out the nope-tag! so I'm gonna lose out on reading 30 perfectly nice fics because of one fic that my nope-tag applied to.
ao3 is about archiving. it's about clear tagging and being informative. there is nothing informative about it if the tags in the fic apply to random chapters while others have nothing to do with it. it makes so much more sense to have each work as an individual fic with its own individual tags and warnings, so readers can make informed choices.
of course, you do you. I can't police what other people decide to do. but personally, I find it incredibly frustrating to weed through 31 chapters to find the ones I actually want to read. so I don't. I automatically scroll past all works posted like that. and I know some others do, too.
there is absolutely no shame in posting short things on ao3. there is no minimum word count. no one is going to look at you funny if you post a small ficlet on its own, I promise. it's just going to make some readers very happy when they can actually find the things they want to read.
so, please. at least consider the upsides of posting each work as their own fic.
signed, one very frustrated fandom grandma.
#please oh my god#op put it into words#like i get why people do it#but i have never once in my life read a fic with multiple unrelated chapters because it is hellishly confusing#make a collection or a series idc just dont put multiple unrelated ficlets into one fic!!!!

Glaze is out!
Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?
Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.
I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

Stranger Things Rarepair Roulette
How to play?
This is an event for making new rarepair content, but with a twist. Challenge yourself to roll the dice and receive a pairing that you’ve never thought of before (or maybe you have, idk your business.)
Sign up begins September 26, and closes October 23. There will be a Google form posted to this account for you to sign up with.
From there your helpful mod will roll the dice and send you a pair. Not so sure about what you got? Feel free to reroll until you get something that sparks your creative juices. Initial selections will be sent October 31, each writer or artist will get 3 initial option, and from there you can reroll at any time.
Not sure what to do? Ask for a second die and we will roll you up a prompt to try and start you.
Participants will have to fill out a form with your likes and dislikes, and your rolls will be weighted for your parameters. Participants will also have a place to submit pairings.
How do I submit a pair?
Have a pair you’d love to see written? Maybe your beloved rarepair only has one or two fics and you’d love to see more. Maybe you have a crackship you just can’t get out of your head. Maybe you’re just throwing stuff in for fun.
This is not the rarepair event for big ships give us the weird stuff!
Submit pairings by a separate Google form beginning September 26. submissions will close October 23. Watch here for the submission form to go up. You can also submit a prompt for our writers and authors to choose from.
What are the dates?
Submission and sign up is from Sept 26 to October 23. On November 1, you’ll receive your first roll of the dice. There will be a check in around January 1 that you are still feeling good about the event. Final submissions will be due on or by April 1st. There will be a collection on AO3 open from April 1st to 7th, and you can post on tumblr or X (ugh) with the hashtags #ST Rarepair Roulette or #STRarepairRoulette.
Do you need help?
Yes please God, DM if you would be interested in helping give people pairs and answer questions!
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements?
Minimum of 500 words for a writer and at least a line work art piece.
Are there any other rules?
Only two: no ship or character bashing, this is an open event. And no Artificial intelligence, the goal is to make some more human art for a beloved rarepair.
I want to sign up but I’m nervous that I’ll have to write X or get character X, what are the parameters?
You’ll have to fill out a form with usernames and contact info, and additionally we’ll give you parameter options, like disallowing certain characters, or opting out of any dead dove ships. You may also select up to one favorite character, and your rolls will be weighted to favor ships featuring that character. If you have more questions feel free to shoot a DM.
Will X character be included? What about dead dove pairings? Will any pairings be not allowed?
Yes, all characters and pairs are included but because it is random, and we want to be respectful of our author’s parameters, keep in mind that some submitted pairs may not be selected.
All pairs are allowed however the pairings will be weighted in favor of ships with less than 1,000 fics, in the spirit of being a rarepair event.
What if my pair was never selected?
You can hold on to it, who knows, i may do this again.
Who are the mods?
Just @shieldofiron right now, rarepair lover and loser
I already messaged you a submission will it get counted?
Yes, anyone who dmed me or commented on the initial interest check will get counted. If you want to fill out the submission form with prompts or more pairs, feel free.
If I participate can I submit a pair?
Yes, and it will go into the regular drawing like all the others.
If two people submit the same pair does it get two entries?
No, the pair will be entered once, but as the pairing will be randomized there may be two participants who get the same pair.
How are you randomizing?
A Google spreadsheet that I’ve been playtesting.
Is the mod crazy?
Yes. Crazy for rarepairs.
