I want to re-watch a show I saw years ago, but I've read so much fanfiction I know I'm gonna be disappointed with the queer baiting reality.1yr ⋅ Ahelaya ⋅ r/AO3
It finally happened... Tried leaving kudos on a story i've never read but to my surprise:1yr ⋅ BGBWolf ⋅ r/AO3
Reading through one of my stories. Idk what the hell I was thinking when I wrote this...1yr ⋅ Sea_Weird7293 ⋅ r/AO3
Saw a meme here earlier and decided to do one too, based on my current predicament7mo ⋅ UltraSpaceAlpaca ⋅ r/AO3
‘No’ does this mean they just don’t like my fic? I don’t understand why anybody would bookmark a fic they don’t like?1yr ⋅ ilovefanfictionz ⋅ r/AO3
Okay so why did you bookmark it and say that? (No but I find this hilarious)1yr ⋅ SacredAlgae ⋅ r/AO3
Just read the most recent chapter of a fic and got to the notes...good lord author notes are insane sometimes1yr ⋅ AngstyPancake ⋅ r/AO3
My toxic fanfiction trait, but maybe some people like it? (Based on a true story)1yr ⋅ Error_Code_Nobody ⋅ r/AO3
Never filtered by comments before, turns out the top result was two people having a longest conversation ever on ao3 😭1yr ⋅ aokay03 ⋅ r/AO3
Fan art someone did of my story, back in April. I love how she draws Bruno1yr ⋅ AberzombieandBetch ⋅ r/AO3
Step aside AO3 and FFN, Google docs is the biggest archive of fanfics!😂11mo ⋅ Buffvamporigfan ⋅ r/AO3
Someone put this as a comment with a long list of things I 'needed' to include in my fic, would this rub anyone else the wrong way or am I being a bit sensitive here?1yr ⋅ Azula9671 ⋅ r/AO3
I wrote one fic for a big fandom and it gave traffic on my small fandom fics too! Yay!1yr ⋅ FDQ666Roadie ⋅ r/AO3
I've been a writer for a small fandom for over 8 years. Recently, I wrote for a big fandom for the first time, and the difference in stats astonished me.1yr ⋅ Lenore8264 ⋅ r/AO3
There's 3k worth of actual fic in here, but why would someone publicly post a draft like this???1yr ⋅ GalacticPigeon13 ⋅ r/AO3
Working on my long fic and I realize it’s been 16 chapters and the main pair aren’t even in love with each other yet.1yr ⋅ sofaKingLazey ⋅ r/AO3
Who thought that I'd watch a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign playthrough?1yr ⋅ SafeJellyfishie ⋅ r/AO3
I was so excited to find a cool looking 20k fic with great tags...then it was this. Is this not against TOS?1yr ⋅ Curious-Bag-1704 ⋅ r/AO3
when another one of the fics you start is labeled a “slow burn” but the characters start having feelings for each other in the first chapter1yr ⋅ thoughtsatthreeam ⋅ r/AO3
In my daily kudos mail, I noticed a user (marked yellow) read and left kudos on (nearly) all my stories, across multiple fandoms. Feels good, man!1yr ⋅ SynthesisNexus ⋅ r/AO3
scrolling through my bookmarks looking for something to reread and finding this is going to send me into my villian arc1yr ⋅ mineymay ⋅ r/AO3
Do you guys also have that one juicy rarepair you're dedicated to? like that ONE rarepair tag that maybe has less than 400 fics you've made your obligation to put out stuff for to feed the 4 stans that are so nice ? 😭1yr ⋅ daegayokay ⋅ r/AO3
Change some of those “WIP’s” to “plot bunnies” and yeah. I had another plot bunny during the blackout.11mo ⋅ NicInNS ⋅ r/AO3
A genuine, unironic comment on my fic (i've since deleted the comment and the thread preceding this comment, but if you guys want context i can provide)1yr ⋅ Michan_200 ⋅ r/AO3
How it feels when I've written for 2 hours straight and somehow I've only passed 1500 words1yr ⋅ PimpDaddyEzio ⋅ r/AO3
You were supposed to be done 10 pages ago and you're still going somehow....1yr ⋅ EmmieEmmieJee ⋅ r/AO3
writing a new fic—i’m 2,458 words in, and the plot hasn’t even kicked in yet. why do i do this to myself1yr ⋅ alice_does_things ⋅ r/AO3
I really hate people sometimes... It’s over 30 MILLION WORDS of just this. Useless trash. 🙄1yr ⋅ badguywindow ⋅ r/AO3
I may have an addiction to hurt comfort one-shots but hey, don't we all?2yr ⋅ masquerading_axolotl ⋅ r/AO3
The greatest bookmark comment I ever had the fortune to lay my eyes upon1yr ⋅ YourWaifuNextDoor ⋅ r/AO3
Fellow Smut Writers: do your kinkier/whumpier works get a disproportionate amount of hits in relation to kudos/bookmarks? Do readers of kinkier/darker smut choose to interact less with these works?1yr ⋅ lepetitberger ⋅ r/AO3
I joined AO3 in January. I never thought I would write more than a few hundred words before giving up. I just met my crazed goal of 1 million words posted in a year. Feels pretty good.1yr ⋅ cacme ⋅ r/AO3
For the love of the Force, if you're looking for a lost fic, don't post stuff like this.1yr ⋅ Phoenix_Queen995 ⋅ r/AO3
What writing four (4) differenf fics for the same fandom at the same time feels like:7mo ⋅ cpxthepanda ⋅ r/AO3
Who would've thought that changing the plan would have consequences??7mo ⋅ throwaway33445566789 ⋅ r/AO3
this is the sweetest, literally the best comment I ever had! actually crying rn 💖😭😭1yr ⋅ lllsandralll ⋅ r/AO3
Last updated Feb. 12, 2016. With everyone posting about 'surprise updates' lately, I still have hope.4mo ⋅ OneTrueSneaks ⋅ r/AO3
No matter where I go, it’s everywhere. Tragedy is fine for me, but especially giving your main character an abusive backstory feels like a cop-out for character development.1yr ⋅ No-Tax-61 ⋅ r/AO3
imagine you're scrolling through your marked for later and you see this with no idea what the fic was or who it was by but it looked interesting enough to save and now you'll never get to read it.7mo ⋅ unicornchild15 ⋅ r/AO3
note on one of the darkest fics I've read in my many years of ao3. it was understandable2mo ⋅ LiveTart6130 ⋅ r/AO3
I’ve been getting from ten to fifteen kudos a day Friday through Saturday, then I posted my new chapter, got like nineteen and I’m scared and paranoid about bots1yr ⋅ Blackwyrm03 ⋅ r/AO3
How it feels when that 'quick' smut fic turns into a 3 part 100k+ word series.11mo ⋅ dinkydinkydonky ⋅ r/AO3
When you check your emails at midnight before turning in and see this comment left on your 190k word fic. 🥰1yr ⋅ NicInNS ⋅ r/AO3
There Are Now 5,000 Pages For The Fandom I'm Working In. It's A Wonder Anyone Ever Manages To See My Stuff.1yr ⋅ DeviantStoryTeller ⋅ r/AO3
