not an author’s note but it made me stop scrolling and laugh so hard I cried
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as you’re not romanticizing it”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as it’s your way of coping with your trauma”
“you can write non-con and dark fics as long as —”
actually, anybody — including you — can write non-con and dark fics, and any other fucked up things, however they want, for whatever reasons.
wanna romanticize the fuck out of your non-con / dead dove do not eat fic? go ahead. don’t let anybody stop you from creating the art you want to create.
wanna write non-con fic even if you were never a victim? go ahead. you don’t have to meet any specific criteria in order to create the art you want to create.
just tag your works properly so that you don’t accidentally expose those who might not want to be exposed to such topics to the topics, and you’re all good.
art does not have to be for everybody.
art has never been strictly about rainbow and sunshine. art can also be about the horror and the macabre.
art can be outright disgusting and messed up, and being disgusting and messed up can be just what makes the art a masterpiece.
I hate to break it to you, but they were right. You really do just have to finish that first draft. It can be a hot mess, but you can’t clean up a room that doesn’t exist
AO3: goes down
the entire community:
thinking about that kakapo egg that got crushed but the conservation team patched it up and it survived
not only korean. nobody else compares 🤷 i think these curls are the laat think i'll think about before I die hahahah
Unpopular opinion: Calvin Klein can hire as many Korean idols or actors as they want but none could ever make such a big impact and have a good visual like Jeon Jungkook
this one is sweet and funny
You’ve been a loyal minion for years, but you’re officially done. You try to quit, but your villain boss keeps guilt-tripping you into staying.
this is so true 🙈
@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?
🤡
why cant we have anything nice? :(
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.
