I'm so glad there are fic writers willing to share their stories with us on ao3. The world is too horrible, the anxiety too intense and the stomach ache too bad to endure the day without being able to read my favorite characters suffering and laughing and banging nasty - ThreadSky

AO3 writer here, good to see others! Mine's kinda niche though 😂 it's all related to metal band lore.

gaelicmoon.bsky.social•32 days ago

https://Fanfiction.net is another option

neva-ann.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'd rather read fanfic on Tumblr. 😅

vem-osca.bsky.social•32 days ago

Being on here has made me want to get back over there and writing. 😁 Even made an alt fandom Bluesky for that stuff. 🙂

txou.bsky.social•32 days ago

I bet you'll make many readers happy if you do 😌

vem-osca.bsky.social•32 days ago

Thank you!

mourn-the-weenie.bsky.social•32 days ago

Perhaps people should recommend their favorite AO3 fics. For my consumption too, admittedly.

meghan7.bsky.social•32 days ago

Thanks

liked without reading the last few words, saw them, considered unliking, sighed to myself, reposted

txou.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes!! Embrace your true self!!! I started being much happier when I did it 😌😌✨

chriswithpaint.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not to sound like a dumbass. But what’s a03?

neva-ann.bsky.social•32 days ago

Archive of Our Own

chriswithpaint.bsky.social•32 days ago

That like a website or something?

neva-ann.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah. Fanfic and fanart hosting site.

chriswithpaint.bsky.social•32 days ago

Nice

gaefiction.bsky.social•32 days ago

The world cold and hard ao3 soft and warm

kaurifish.bsky.social•32 days ago

Also full of tentacles

gaefiction.bsky.social•32 days ago

And dead pigeons for some reason

txou.bsky.social•31 days ago

It's an exotic and creepy zoo and I love it

gaefiction.bsky.social•30 days ago

Nothing feels more like home than a hairless creature walking Infront of me with his 23 babies attached to his nipples. Ah yes, ao3 corner! So cozy

This most definitely!

kaurifish.bsky.social•32 days ago

I love posting on AO3. There's something about being able to clearly communicate to readers what they're getting themselves into.

My most recent SF Story

Probability Zero

Good thing, I say, that we changed bats’ biology from plutonium based to iron based, otherwise we’d go up in a mushroom cloud on a regular basis.

aiorias.bsky.social•33 days ago

Banging nasty is an absolute banger imo.

belleandchainz.bsky.social•32 days ago

FR :3 i just posted my first fic a couple days ago, and im excited to write more :3

txou.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes!!! Thank you for your hard work I bet you'll make many readers out there very happy

whippersnapped.bsky.social•31 days ago

I needed to hear this today. I'm editing my sequel to a B4B, queer erotic romance and have been feeling guilty for working on fluff.

txou.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'm glad it helped! Never feel guilty for doing what you feel like doing, I'm sure you'll make many readers happy

quinayla.bsky.social•32 days ago

I highly recommend doing a physical exercise you enjoy, too. It helped me so much in 2016 and I haven't stopped since. Outlive the fucker and all the damage he is doing to our county and world.

roselynnthornwood.bsky.social•32 days ago

At your service! ❤️ And thank YOU for reading!
Just a friendly PSA: if a fic makes your day in this horrible world, please comment and let that writer know. I promise you, they will appreciate it!

txou.bsky.social•32 days ago

I try to do it!! I wish I could leave more kudos.... one is never enough 😭 and sometimes I'm too shy to leave a comment but I'm trying 🥹

roselynnthornwood.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’ve also had wonderful fandom friendships blossom from commenting on even the smutty stuff, so I can say from experience that leaving a comment is always worth it! ☺️

roselynnthornwood.bsky.social•32 days ago

I can guarantee you any writer would be excited to hear even a short “I liked this so much!” Most of the fanfic groups I run in are full of writers who are discourage that hardly anyone engages and comments anymore. Any words are always appreciated!

txou.bsky.social•31 days ago

I always get nervous about saying something that might upset the writer, or expressing myself badly because English is not my first language. But yeah, I try to do it because I also love receiving comments on my drawings and I know how it feels 🫶

roselynnthornwood.bsky.social•30 days ago

Comment in your native language! And as long as you aren’t saying “Boo, this sucks” or “Hey, you should do this part differently,” you probably won’t upset the writer. ❤️

nyxintarturus.bsky.social•32 days ago

I know!! I wish I could leave kudos on each of the chapters

radiantallomancer.bsky.social•28 days ago

You can copy & paste this code into the comment box on AO3 that will indeed leave second kudos! But really, authors will appreciate even just leaving a heart as a comment, it tells us that you care. And I know a commenter who just comments “Extra kudos!”

You can’t make up what we are whitnessing!

pocketvenus.bsky.social•33 days ago

I write on ao3 and love so many of the stories I've read there. You're totally right, it's a huge blessing

zetawilk.bsky.social•32 days ago

Have you read Haich Versus P? That'll keep you occupied.

witchesforhope.bsky.social•33 days ago

Joy and creativity shall march on.

ashleyscarborough.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thanks for reminding me... I've got some fanfic to catch up on.

yenni3.bsky.social•32 days ago

THIS 🫶🫶 thank y'all for keeping me sane 💞

violetharmonies.bsky.social•32 days ago

Right?? I have so many in progress fanfics I have to finish and upload so I can bring joy and smut to the world. Currently working on a MelJayVik piece that has my whole heart

txou.bsky.social•31 days ago

Meljayvik!!! So good 🙂‍↕️
