Sometimes I wish ao3 would tell me who subscribes to your works mostly because sometimes there will be one subscription on a story and eventually I turn it into something longer than a oneshot and I wanna go “this one’s for you, MrsDoomguy743” in the author note.

#chit chat #i have on occasion done this with people who have commented #but i used to do it a lot more on ffnet lol #man ffnet was weird and i couldn’t go back to it now #but on occasion there are features i miss #i mostly like that ao3 doesn’t show the subscriptions unless you work for it tho #it can get very stressful knowing that a bunch of people are waiting there for your next update #< - - also speaking from ffnet experiences

I have officially edited and updated my DP fic recommendation document

I've so far only used it for friends but now I'm wondering if any of you guys would be interested...

#lots of people make rec lists and i sorta feel like i have a lot of the same ones that everyone always does #but also that could just be the curse of knowledge where im like “yeah ofc everyone knows about X Fic!!!”#when in fact maybe they do not :wheeze:#anyway. just wanna gauge if anyone would want it #idk how often ill update the list #i have a shit ton of DP fics on my To Read/Bookmarks and if i haven't read at leaat enough to make a judgment #i dont put it on the rec list #I've been mostly focused on working on getting through my unread book collection at home rather than fics atm BUT #the list is both a way for me to keep track of my fave fics and also when friends outside the phandom wanted a rec i could ask what #flavor of thing they wanna read and then pick something or send them the doc so they could pick #Everytime I work on the list I start thinking so hard about fics I read years ago or on FFnet and I can't remember the names #Or more than a few scenes....#Rip the real ones from back in the day #I'll at some point be making a new pinned post and so if people do want this I'll post it and then link it in my pinned post #so it's easy to find #danny phantom fanfiction #Danny Phantom fanfic recs

i always wonder about those people on ao3 with no bookmarks, no series, no gifts, and one or two BANGER works. who are you

#chitra.txt #actually one of my friends has an ao3 like that lol #But like. I still dont understand it #because i feel like i have a bunch of bad practice stuff before it gets rlly good #and ofc you can cut your teeth on original writing too #but i feel like u still have to have 'my first fanfic'#maybe its just bc im the only one insane enough to import everything i wrote over from ffnet and wattpad

when it comes to the unfinished fics that haven't been updated in 3 years and had an authors note that said the next chapter was ready and would be out in a week and the author has no other social media that i can find (not naming names but i have like 3 fav fics like this), yes, I'd take the mediocre continuation half bc i wanna know the author is safe and half bc i have reread the entirety of the fic several times and i need to see where it goes as long as it makes sense.

oh i get that. it's always scary when there's no way to check in with the author too.

since my DC binge, i went back to ff.net just to scope around and see if i could find my old favs. luckily i managed to find some of them crossposted to AO3 and follow the authors' new works there, but it was hard going back in time and seeing so many authors i adored who were just... gone. one of my favorite authors, someone who honestly contributed a lot to my writing style regarding mystery and slow-burn thriller, had passed away.

obviously we never met and im not even sure i left comments on their stuff (i was pretty shy about it) but i raved about their stuff for weeks. i still remember it being the highlights of my month years ago. parasocial relationships yes yes yes, but seriously. the joy i get from getting emails after years, or seeing someone move their account and getting to see them interact again... it's not unnoticed!

(also yes, rereading the whole fic after an update is soooooo mecore i love it when i do that and then get re-obsessed all over again. its amazing.)

#tw death #tw sui impled #-->#the author actually took their own life very recently. which was gut wrenching. and of course ff.net comments were horrible about it #being on the reader side of things really changed my perspective i think. since yknow its very easy to be on the writers side of things #and not realize #like yeah im just a fic author but also i like to think there's people out there who think of me from time to time #my asks #sorry this took such a dark turn! but i get it anon #tbf im sure most people just move on to other hobbies or grow out of it. i know for some of my old ffnet accounts and... quora?? i just fle #i dont know if i have anything on there anymore tbh but I'm sure some people just.. go off and do their own little thing in the world

referencing my last tags but actually I'm gonna say it, if you weren't around when people got regularly called slurs and sent death threats for having gay ships you literally do not get to judge what the worst fandom ever is, thanks :)

#Void Rambles #if the worst thing you've ever seen is a little fandom discourse you have no room to talk #I grew up in the age of “no slash ships” rules in public forums #waking up every day only to hop online and beat back the subliminal homophobic messaging from my closest friends with a stick #fighting just to get ffnet to let me post songfics #while hoards of readers actively went out of their way to mass report you for it #next thing you know everything you've created and shared with friends is deleted without warning #swaths of hate mail from complete strangers hiding behind a message board for saying Dean is bi #literal fandom-wide campaigns to kill off gay coded characters and women who moved wrong and beloved characters of color #if the worst fandom take you've ever had to look at is a misinterpretation of your blorbo please exit stage left

I need help finding a Psych fanfic.

I think it’s possible I might be confusing two fics or have combined them in my memory, but here is what I remember:

It’s a Shassie fic with a bit of a slow burn. Lotta Shawn whump. Shawn gets kidnapped, possibly presumed dead?? Not 100% sure about that part. But he goes missing for a long time. Juliet and Lassie try to hook up due to grief but I remember them then realizing like “oh if we were gonna do this it should’ve been a long time ago because there’s no chemistry anymore.” And then Juliet and Gus later get together, also kind of to cope, but the relationship does make sense and work out for them.

Eventually Shawn is found and goes to a hospital but he’s still in danger so he ends up having to stay at Lassie’s place for a while so he can be protected. And he (Shawn) has a juicer that is shaped like a monkey. And at one point Lassie witnesses Shawn having a nightmare and Shawn is crying out like “no, come back! Lassie!” or something, and Lassie realizes that he’s having a nightmare about that time he was held hostage by those two mechanics.

The fic was on fanfiction.net and I think I would have read it somewhere between 2012 and 2014.

If anyone knows the fic I’m talking about, (and where I can find it because I don’t think it’s on ffn anymore) please let me know!

#shassie #shawn spencer #carlton lassiter #juliet o'hara #burton guster #psych #psych usa #psych tv #fanfiction #fanfic #shawn whump #yeah this is from back in the days when we used ‘whump’#help me find this fic #ffn #ffnet #psych fanfiction #zoe posts

How old are you?

As someone who began using the Internet in the early 2000s I learned very quickly/was taught never to share my age, name, or location on the internet and even in this day of social media I still maintain that privacy by not publicly posting my exact age, birthday, legal name, or location✌🏻

#I hope that at least gives you a broad idea of my age #someone in a gc told me last week I was an enigma and I am pleased to evoke that kind of vibe #how old am I? I am eternal #I was there in the LJ kink memes when abo was invented #I saw NC-17 and R rated fics get banned from ffnet #invoking Anne Rice’s name still causes my heart to race #I can’t take Cassandra Clare seriously #and the mortal instruments will always be draco/Ginny fanfiction to me #when the third LOTR movie came out me and my friends had a day long marathon that culminated in like 12 of us fitting into two cars #and seeing ROTK in theaters #my first concert was a Phil Lesh concert #and me and my husband’s song to dance to is a Linkin Park song from before they released hybrid theory

20 Fanfic Questions

Tagged by @swaps55. Thank you!

Tagging @cr-noble-writes, @theoriginalladya, @ad-astra13 and anyone else who feels so inclined!

How many works do you have on AO3?

9

2. What's your total AO3 words count?

233,7802

This doesn't include WIP wordcounts which are so much higher

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mass Effect primarily. A little Dragon Age from time to time (mostly one shots). I have a Fable III WIP and Stargate Atlantis fic that's only on ffnet (and I refuse to go back to ffnet it's become a trash fire).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Crosshairs - Mass Effect 1 slow burn shenko. (This version will be abandoned as I've been doing The Great Rewrite because the characters and my Shepard have evolved over the years, but I like having the old version up for comparison.)

Lightning - Mass Effect 1 fshenko smut with a wild card Shepard who would blow up a small moon if she was asked to fix a microwave

No Strings Attached - Pre-Mass Effect 1 fsehnko fluff and smut, which started as smutty prompt (what if Kaidan and Shepard had a one night stand on shore leave before ME1) and turned into this Whole Big Thing

Brace for Impact - Mass Effect 3 AU where Olivia Shepard is not an Alliance Marine because Mindoir was never raided so she never lost her family. And yet, fshenko because love always finds a way.

Sine Qua Non - Mass Effect/Pacific Rim crossover with fshenko, Kaidan and Shepard have a service history and then end up on the same Jaegar class fighter in the drift together.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! Sometimes it takes a while, but I always respond to everyone before I post a new chapter because I want everyone who took the time to write me something that I really appreciate their words!! I also do it because I miss the old days of fandom community where comments flew around left and right, and I want to encourage that in my own little corner as best I can.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Color the Sky - The Blitz, Shepard is on shore leave with her partner when the slavers attack. This is the story that cements the belief that she's better off alone because the people who get close to her die.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I don't think anyone is happier in a finished fic of mine than Alexis Shepard and Kaidan in No Strings Attached when the finally find each other again after having pined after the other for literal years.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Only once, and it was transphobic garbage. "It's clunky and bad for reading to use these wierd fake pronouns introduced to make people feel better about themselves." I told them no one was holding a gun to their head forcing them to read the story and then locked the comment thread, because comment section battles with people who are already coming at it from a place of not actually wanting to understand is a waste of my time.

9. Do you write smut. If so what kind?

Sometimes, not that often anymore, and part of that is I can never just write smut without their being fluff and emotions and connection (see above: No Strings Attached turning into a 20k+ fic for a one night stand smut prompt). Part of this is because I am ace as fuck and the desire to have sex with people every second of the day because they're hot or whatever is just so utterly foreign to me. It has to feel right in the story. And if I'm gonna write just a smut story, you can bet there are thousands of words of background lore I wrote to make the smut happen on the page.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Very few. I think the only published one is the Mass Effect/Pacific Rim crossover. So by default, that one!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I am aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

None translated.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Once, with some friends over a decade ago (on ffnet). It was fun but also stressful, and I probably won't do it again. It really has to be the right people, and this group I did that project with was a good group and also very kind and generous in giving over the reigns to each other. But I've also grown more stubborn as I've gotten older. It can work, but unlikely I'll ever do it again.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Shepard and Kaidan, to the surprise of no one.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I would like to finish Never Surrender, my Stargate Atlantis WIP that is partially published. Part of that will involve migrating it over to AO3. I'm so enmeshed in Mass Effect and The Great Rewrite that I don't know that I have time for that WIP right now.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and combat.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Bridging scenes together. I get way too in my head about it, especially when characters are just sitting in silence for a moment.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I would love to do this and maybe could do it in a rusty, limited capacity with French, but it has been ages since I've spoken it in any useful capacity.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Star Trek Voyager. I've long since lost this story, but it was writing a bisexual and (though I didn't have the words for it at the time) asexual Seven of Nine.

Listen, I don't wanna say I was prophetic but have you watched Picard? Case settled.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Choosing is hard!!!! Also I have so much unfinished, unpublished stuff that is my favorite but sticking to things that are published out there on AO3, it would be No Strings Attached. Shepard and Kaidan find unexpected happiness, then pine for a couple years because they were trying to pretend they weren't in love, and then the find each other again on the Normandy. They're nerdy dorks. They get to be the lighter versions of themselves and let go of expectations for a few days with each other and be a little reckless (and deeply, unapologetically romantic).

I also wrote that story in like 6 days while high off my ass on cold and flu medicine with a raging fever of like 102.

#meme games #mostly pointless text posts #these are super casual tags you don't have to do it if I tagged you #i really gotta migrate more of my stuff from ffnet to ao3
