Ist shows this error code when i try to open the site: net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

and it says that attackers might be trying to steal info from me??

man, i've always fought to allow fucked up fanfic to exist, and i SAY i love angst, but it pains me so much that i can NOT handle them lmao, i read some yandere gore stuff and now, even more than a year later, i still think about them every day, even if i really want it to stop, and they always put me in a weird mood. shit traumatized me LMAO /lh

Hai! I recently got fixated ok dragon ball, and I’ve been DIGGING in the dragon ball tag for good piccolo fics, so I came here to get rec’s, I’m not picky. So show em all.

So I want to write some pretty hardcore darkship stuff for a certain universe, but I'm nervous because it's a small fandom and the creator is very involved with it so there's a chance they'll see or be 'alerted' about my hypothetical fic. The last thing I'd want to do is cause the creator a huge amount of mental anguish because of my silly fiction but I also don't want to have my creativity dictated by a bunch of stupid antis. Am I just overthinking this? Any advice would be appreciated ♥️.

I've been writing and reading on Wattpad for a few years now and I've been thinking of changing to Write on A03 but what would be the difference from both cites? Also what are some tips for writing on Ao3. as I have no idea how its different from Wattpad.

I made a friend at work

I can tell they are an anti, theyve brought up anti topics twice. The first time I ignored it and the second time I said I didnt care (ie the thing mentioned doesnt bother me)

Im very used to jumping to defense of proship topics bht im trying to live more in the "i dony care what you think" mindset of life. I can tell they just dont really know that theres more to it than they think, theyre early college so I assume itll come with time. They seemed surprised I wasnt jumping in on the topic and shitting on it with them. I've got a theory thats its just a social norm In some groups to talk about it and if the person isnt into those things they may never learn that its actully a complex topic.

Like i think itd blow theyre mind that some proship content actually helped me recover from ocd.

Anyways its annoying because I otherwise like them as a persom but the topic keeps coming up

This might be an odd request and niche but after so many identity fics where Bruce plays Brucie Wayne when interacting with Clark/Clark just thinking of him as Bruce I actually started craving like….. half a no capes au. One where Bruce is just Bruce 😭 they’re kind of cute, idk, maybe it’s just me.

I think I’m just getting increasingly more frustrated searching by myself so I have turned to my fellow readers.

I’m looking for essentially a Choso backstory, more than likely headcanon just because the show doesn’t really give much on the backstory… I don’t know if this exists, but I don’t wanna read romantic relationship fics atm for Choso I just want a fanfic solely focusing on him… if that makes sense LMAO.

TYIA - I don’t even know if this exists :,)

So i remember reading a fic where it was Harry Potter x dropout( the hentai) mixed and i wanted to know if anyone here knows the title for it.

Some fandoms I’m in have a higher concentration of quality fanfiction than others. What is one fandom that to you has the best fanfics/the most talented writers and why?

Not necessarily your favorite fandom. Just a fandom that, if you were to scroll through its top works on ao3, you’d find a lot of amazing fics. As opposed to the ones you have to search really hard to find a fic that you like.

it was literally the ONE THING stopping me from reading downloaded pdfs there, cause the text is so tiny. but i fixed it and i get the cool page turning! win win! and you can customize the page color and font, my offline reading is LITERALLY TRANSFORMED

(anyone who wants to know, you convert the pdf into an epub file, and then import that to the app. ive only done it with apple books, so i dunno about other apps!)

All because my dumb ass couldn't spell cocoon correctly. I think i like it better this way though.

Hey all, i just want some reassurance that I made the right decision just now.

So, I frequent some true crime fanfic tags (yeah this is controversial ik!). While checking the tag, I came across a fanfic that was quite poorly written. I don’t mean to say this to judge, i am not the best writer but, I could just tell that this fic was written by someone underage.

I went to the persons profile and found several RPF about a high school. I was curious if this was a fandom or some fictional HS so I googled the name and found out it was a real school, and that the teachers who were being written about were REAL teachers at this REAL high school.

The fic was seriously disturbing. It contained graphic depictions of CSA at the hands of a guidance counselor. The author used her real name and the guidance counselor’s name was also used. I did another google search and found out that this was a REAL SITUATION THAT HAPPENED!!! There was a guidance counselor by this name at the school who was arrested for abusing a girl (likely the author, but the girls name wasn’t used in the arrest report for obvious reasons).

From this information, I was able to find the authors full name and social media accounts. I felt extremely uncomfortable and scared for this poor girl who is obviously a victim of abuse, so I contacted the school and linked the fics.

I’m literally in shock. I couldn’t in good conscience not do something about this. Not only is it extremely unsafe for the minor to be so easily located on the internet, she obviously has some severe trauma that she is not processing well.

But on the other hand, i feel bad! Maybe this was her way of coping and i took that away from her. Ugh. I’m sad now. Probably gonna avoid ao3 for a bit. Sorry this is written like shit i’m just FLOORED!

And I do mean that respectfully, honestly and earnestly, this entire post is rooted in my own good intent.

It seems to be the primary thing parroted back at people who struggle without engagement. It's a good point, a great ideal and an excellent goal to strive for. It takes work to get there and it takes work to maintain being there but that's not problem... The problem is that unlike other small advice like "Don't play in the street" by itself the "Write for yourself." line is... nothing, it's the end but it's not the how to get there, it's not the safety it promises it's nothing alone and it's always alone, or at least it certainly seems that way.

Now to continue the clarity, the people who say it, myself included, don't have mal intent, aren't lazy or anything like that. It's a good goal, it's a good line, it's meant to help, the intent is good. I just think that there's more to it that no one seems to say. It's the end of the lone and it's like no ones really illuminated the road to get there.

It's frustrating I guess, because while I do write for myself I can't say that unexpectedly getting a fresh comment on a fic doesn't motivate me to write that, or that a lack of engagement with a new chapter directs me to other fics. I write what I want to see but if no one else wants to see it... eh, frustrating as I said.

Just, "Write for yourself." What's that look like? How do I do it? How can I tell I'm doing it? Is it just my ADHD leading me to overthink a simple topic and miss the underlining point entirely? Probably! does it matter? I've decided not.

eh, curious I guess what other people think on it. My own thoughts born from a couple days of thought after seeing the words a few times in rapid succession.

Typed this at 3 am the other day, finally look at that tab on the document and kind of laughed at myself.

Every review is awesome. But then you get ones like this …right in the feels.

the question is in the title.

I just wrote an entire scene of someone returning to work the day after a gunshot wound to the arm. Then realized after surgery and on painkillers, etc there is no way that would happen even with a sedentary job.

Ever realize you wrote something that makes no damn sense and needs to go in the trash?

I do this a lot because most of the time I lose the interest with working on it and then my head is like "no this isn't good enough don't post it" and a few years later I'm like omg this wasn't as bad as I thought.

Just something I noticed and it makes me wonder like, should I post these then?

I'm so excited. I haven't written anything for any fandom in a long time and I finally got the inspiration to write for the Dead Poets Society fandom. I'm currently at about 3,200 words after working on it for the last three nights. I still have lots more to write. just thought I'd share that with y'all.

hi! I've been trying to download all of my bookmarks onto my laptop but i've had trouble when i stumbled upon one series that was over 100 works long, which would take FOREVER to download manually. i tried using FanFicFlare on Calibre but i'm not really a techy person so I have no clue how to use it :(

if anyone had any advice on how to "bulk download" or have some kind of program or something that can download fics that would be much appreciated :)
