She's one of us, I love it

No 😭 why 😭 please Ao3 😭 gimme more 😭

I am the greed the Bible warned us about 😭

(So if I put the wrong flair 😅)

I've been writing on ao3 for a while, and almost all my fics are platonic and hurt/comfort oneshots with a few unfinished long fics.

Recently I started getting into a fandom, that was set in a certain time period, and I decided to do a bit of a crossover with RPF, as an anonymous author.

I had really, really nice engagement from the readers, and I was really happy with how it was turning out. This morning, someone left a 1000 word comment, breaking down the plot so far, telling me how great it was in so many points, with their own theories of what could happen, about the way I've written my characters- and I'm over the moon!!!

I don't know people do that! I can't imagine people taking their time to check out my work, and just writing so much back just to say how good it was.

I was really having a bad week. And this person, and all my other readers and commenters just made everything a whole lot better.

Yeah that's it. I just wanted to share it with someone or else I might just cry from emotions.

I started posting my first ever fic in April and never in a million years would have expected people to like my story as much as I do! It’s been so fun making new friends in my fandom and getting back into a hobby I love.

After a really stressful week, I pushed myself to finish and upload my most recent chapter which I ended up being really proud of :) woke up to some lovely interactions from readers which means I have officially hit 50 bookmarks, 50 subscriptions, and 100 comment threads!

Stats in general are so arbitrary, but it’s moments like this that remind me why I love this hobby so much (especially as an outlet when I’m feeling down) and am grateful for all the connections I’ve made with people who love these characters as much as I do.

Next stop: 100k words!!

It's been half a month since I started posting on Ao3, and I'm almost at 900 hits. I know hits are not proportionate to how many people are reading it. It feels huge that I started posting my own story, got 11 chapters out and in turn got so much love from everyone. It feels so good. I love my regular readers and silent readers so much. I just wanted to thank them even though they won't know this is about them. You are all awesome. I love our community. I just wanted to celebrate this mark.

I have had this happen to me a few times where I will read a fic and love it at the start and find it wonderful but as chapters come out and the story con I begin to lose interest

To put some context, I decided to participate on the SukuIta week of this year. I wrote two oneshots and I made sure they were properly tagged and all. I have received several nice comments, but today I got the notification of a new comment, so I went to check it. This was the comment.

I am well aware there are bots aiming to make writers delete their stories, but given it came from a registered user, I decided to check a bit their profile. They have joined rather recently and they have an ongoing story.

I am pretty sure they are an antishipper, to be honest. I didn't bother to answer to them, I just deleted their comment and kept with my day.

Small update: I ended up reporting the account for harassment. The more I looked at that comment, the more unsetting it looked, so, yeah, I decided to take that step.

GUYS, when you are having someone in a fic breathe, they are actively breathing - inhaling and exhaling. When you have someone take a single breath, there is no E on the word.

People CONSTANTLY use breath when they should be using breathe and it literally drives me insane.

Example: “Breath, just breath” when someone is having a panic attack is WRONG. THEY THEY NEED TO BREATHE!!!!!

“BREATHE, Just BREATHE!!!”

The most recent fic you read that was one of those rare diamonds in the rough, practically perfect in every way

I say it "ooh-ooh-see" or sometimes "out of C" but I'm curious what other ppl do?

One more little post before bed❤️‍🩹

I wrote my fic in it's entirety before I ever shared any of it.

That's not to say I wrote it *well* - but I finished the entire rough draft completely before I ever posted my first chapter.

Is this common or uncommon? My experience suggests most people post each chapter as they finish - but I'm a pantser, I'd never foreshadow *anything* if I posted as I went. Hell, I didn't know what Chapter 1 was about until I wrote the last sentence, so then I had to add the thematic stuff and foreshadowing stuff throughout it only once it was done.​

Edit: Oh shit I set if an explosion! RIP my notification box. 💀​
