Ao3 Tags - Blog Posts

I just turned 17 and so did ao3. It's kinda weird to think we're the same age :/

It’s fascinating to me how you can start loving a character after reading a fanfic based on another author’s work where you ended up hating that same character

Tbh I prefer tranmasc characters over tranfem for some reason like characters I headcannon being trans male than trans female as with other fics I read and somehow feel I’m being offensive about it

Like it’s wrong but it kinda isn’t right?

If it is then I’m sorry

haha u wish i was but i like ur funny words magic man

like and reblog if you’re fun and sexy :p

I literally love connecting with authors on their work- writing and editing fics can get very hectic sometimes. Love on your authors yall!! Forming human connection is the purpose of life!! Giving love is important!!

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

Ok serious post. How do I outwit the AO3 curse? Because my desire to write is being suppressed by my inability to handle another fucking curve ball from life and I’m too scared to even look at my fix without fearing yet another disaster. Genuinely how do you write without being shot 57 times? Like do I have to make a sacrifice? Is there a special prayer? I’ll do anything at this point.

Drugs... Amen to the wheel of fortune !!!

And the drugs are fanfics on ao3 where the gays kill people (and have sex sometimes) cauz that's the more fun I can have

I'm gonna read more 00q fics in 2025 youhou !!!

spin this wheel of fanfic tags. this will be the theme of your day tomorrow.

which ao3 tag are you?

Morvran/Sanddef (Sanvran)

I am not only the only person who has tagged a work for Morvran/Sanddef (Arthurian). I’m the only person who has ever tagged for either of those characters on Ao3. They’re both minor knights who are known for surviving Camlann due to their appearances: Sanddef is so handsome that people mistake him for an angel and won’t fight him and Morvran is so hideous/odd-looking (covered in hair like a stag) that people mistake him for a demon and won’t fight him. (Morvran’s anppearance also plays a role in Taliesin’s origin story, inspiring Cerridwen’s actions, though Taliesin gets the awen instead of Morvran and Morvran then disappears from the narrative.) Admittedly, they’re rather obscure and the details about them are sparse, but I feel like they have potential, platonically or romantically. I’d like to think that they fight side by side at Camlann and have no idea why no one is fighting back.

Reblog and put your rare pair in the tags/comments! I want to see the depths people will go to create, for the most random two characters in the most obscure media.

This is a crime.

pessimistic as it may be, I'm surprised ao3 has no works tagged "temporary character growth"

i haven't been on ao3 in months what the fuck happened

OLLIE’S CHAPTER “ACID SPLASH” IS COMING UP SOON!

Thank you!

holy shit I didn't even realize that inconsistent was spelt wrong

if a word has more than three i’s in it, i WILL misspell it 

real, fix-it fics are some of my favorites!

I just made my 3rd poppy playtime story on A03 with my good friend Qibsichan AU smaller bodies

Hello, yes, I think this addition is extremely important.

There is almost twice as much written in the exclusionist tag, let that sink in.

So if y’all like writing fanfiction...

Say what you like about weird, cringy, or bad ao3 tags, I’ve found the absolute worst one ever, nothing can beat the horridness of this tag

Fuck you yes he fucking is. Stop erasing his identity you asshats

I didn’t realize you were the person who did the fanfiction tag drinks.

ahah yeah that's meeee!!

If you guys are interested they are all available as stickers on my RB!!

“you’re out of likes!” “you’ve already left kudos here!”

WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITHOUT AO3?!?!! WHAT MY CHORES?????

Ao3 is down.

On Ao3 I love when writers put the tag “I wrote this instead of sleeping” because of the fact that I read this instead of sleeping
