I have a theory why long fics on AO3 typically get low kudos/hits ratio
My MFL is short. I've noticed long fics are the ones accumulating
If the hit-count/interaction ratio on your longfic makes you sad just know it's prob because it's in lots of mfl and not because it sucks ❤️

People who post on AO3 and have used Social Media in their fics:
Do you prefer to make your own tweets/posts and put in the chapter as photos or do you prefer to code using workskins?
#ficwip #ficwriters #ao3
A handshake between two people. The left hand has “fic writers” on the sleeve, the right hand has “dungeon/game masters” on the sleeve. Where the hands meet there’s text saying “this was only supposed to be a one shot”
Every damn time.

#FicWriters Does it bother you when readers constantly ask "when will this update" on things you haven't touched in months or years?
It bothers tf out of me. I've taken to just blocking the users atp. Annoy me and youll never see the update, bud. Sorry, not sorry. I do this on my time, not urs.
Ao3 has been scraped again. Why can't you learn?
LOCK YOUR FICS!
Lock them up!
Things we built out of love and joy should not be used as foundational tools for building capitalistic systems!
Cut the supply to the greedy furnace.
LOCK YOUR BLOODY FICS!

Should I copy this on my fics? Should I? Should I?
#ficwriters #ao3 #fanfic #writing
#ficwriters how do you go about posting long fics - write the whole thing first THEN start posting? Post chapters as you write them? I'm trying to decide the best course of action for me and would love some insight <3
My main concern is wanting to go back and edit stuff thats been posted already!
Photos taken moments before disaster…
• WIP: Inevitably, chapter 7: And Our Pieces Fall.
• Coming to AO3 in a few days. Maybe tomorrow. Idk I just work here.

Anyone go through the editing process only to convince themselves that they have no business trying to write fiction? #writers #ficwriters
Anyone ever realize, as they're nearing the end of their WIP that their set up has them flying way too close to the sun and are now facing self-induced pressure to come up with an actual clever resolution? Huh... me neither. #ficwriters #hpfanfic #fanficwriters

A blue, pink and white afternoon sky with a title card over it that has a pile of leaves beneath and the glowing title 'An Annual Gift'.
A white background with a snippet for the work: 'An Annual Gift' reading: "No," Kurama chuckled, poking the tip of his son's nose as emphasis of his own. Bewildered for a split second, Kagerou blinked up at him then harrumphed. He folded his arms against his chest and glanced away, hesitantly meeting Kurama's eyes again as he responded, "What about a toy?" Incredulity and curiosity crept into Kurama's voice as he ruffled Kagerou's hair, the six points of the red ribbon keeping it half-tied up bobbing in time with Kagerou's laughter. "Why would your grandmother want a toy for Christmas?" Kagerou ducked from beneath Kurama's hand, running a short ways ahead of him to escape his reach before turning around into a backwards stroll. "I dunno," he drawled, flashing a big grin. "But I do."
🍂❄️ AN ANNUAL GIFT 🍂❄️
Every year, Kurama gives his mother a present. But this year, it's hard to decipher what the present is.
( or, kurama has a little fun with his family during the soft holiday season)

🏵️ #AJOATM CHAPTER THREE (1K/1K) 🏵️
I didn't talk about my process for this but if there's one thing I want to press on - writers, please take breaks! I didn't have the spoons to write yesterday and spent most of it resting which is crucial. Sleep debt is real, y'all.

I think this is right up my alley. 43 #Fanfiction stories and I have plenty of OCs to talk about.

🛑 SESSION END 🛑
That was a bit of a rocky one too, but I wrote 338 words (11wpm). I think I have to find a comfortable spot in starting this, probably will do a free-write for a moment til I find a place to align the dialogue.

💘 SPRINTING SESSION 💘
The next session starts at :10, and will end at :30!
The current word count I'm at is 367, and the limit is 1,000. Let's see how I can make a story with less words.
Like always if anyone wants to jump in, feel free!

A background image of the afternoon sky with purples and pink clouds gathering behind the titlecard of "A Journey of a Thousand Miles", white birds flying off in the distance.
A blurb for the chapter titled "little sister", underneath is a roughly 200 word snippet of the chapter, reading: She could practically hear Inuyasha’s fervent, waspish refusal in blessing her decision to journey anywhere with his brother unaccompanied. Regardless of Rin’s persuasion, he might have even dared to follow them at a distance. She wilted somewhat, mortified by the thought of the hanyо̄ whom she’d come to regard as an older brother, interrupting at every instance of romantic intrigue. “A-Anyhow, Inuyasha-nii becomes grumpy whenever Sesshо̄maru-sama is mentioned, and I wouldn’t want to encourage false hopes in Kagome-nee…” Rin tries to keep the hurt etching its way into her chest from surfacing at the thought of Kagome’s smile. “The thought of us becoming sisters through marriage is dear to her, but if Sesshо̄maru-sama and I are not aligned then surely she would be disappointed.” Underneath the blurb is the chapter details, explaining the rating, word count and author: 1k words, g-rated, and unlockthelore Surrounding the blurb are flowers with sparkling stars, and behind is the afternoon sky with its purple and pink clouds mirroring the title card.

A title card for "A Journey of a Thousand Miles" with the background of a summer blue day and a field of flowers in pastels. The title is embossed and surrounded by flowing flowers, reading 'A Journey of a Thousand Miles' with a butterfly resting on top of the second a.
A 131-word snippet of the first chapter of A Journey of a Thousand Miles with a white background over the background photo of a summer blue sky. The snippet reads the chapter's prompt 'brave heart', and underneath has the following snippet: “A request capable of shaking Rin’s heart, this must be grave indeed.” That hint of amusement in his voice ignites a flame in Rin’s stomach, and she inhales deeply, preparing to spout a meaningless stream of platitudes in his honor. After all, she had perfected the talent of sycophancy from Jaken. A gentle pressure tips her head up and her eyes widen as the world shifts in colors from steel gray, to white, then gold. All thought flees from her at the sight of those beautiful golden eyes, peering into hers as if he could lay bare her very soul. Rin slants her gaze away, feeling her cheeks warm at the glimpse of Sesshо̄maru’s lips slightly parting, “This lord would not deny his Rin a single thing; surely she knows this?” Underneath this reads: 1k words | G-rated | unlockthelore, detailing the chapter's word count, rating, and the author.
🌺🦋 A Journey of a Thousand Miles - Day 1: BRAVE HEART 🦋🌺
In an effort to determine whether she and her lord are romantically aligned, Rin asks him to accompany her on a three day journey. To her surprise, he agrees.
