AO3 Is My Lifeblood - I Post Essentially Nowhere Else And Haven't For The Past 3-5 Years. I Haven't Locked

AO3 is my lifeblood - i post essentially nowhere else and haven't for the past 3-5 years. i haven't locked any of my fics ever and really don't want to, bc i love seeing readers wander in and leave their thoughts on any and all of my works, so consider getting an account!! if anyone needs an invite, feel free to comment or DM :^)

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

the fact that smoker went from a grungy, maybe kinda stinky tightass to an incredibly sleek, stylish tightass with a grunge aesthetic (different from grungy) makes me think he actually does have style and knows a thing or two about clothes and keeping up appearances. but he also knows uniform is comfy. uniform is simple. uniform is for wearing every day. but also no one chooses THAT haircut and THOSE sunglasses without knowing A Bit about fashion

Hyperfixating on your own OC is so frustrating. Nobody else wants to rotate them in their minds the way you do and if you talk too much about it they can get impatient and exasperated.

My poor blorbo. Unloved by all but me and to a lesser extent my boyfriend. My blorbo OC is so amazing and I can't explain it to anyone else.

I MADE A MIGUEL FIC - IDC IF IT GETS ATTENTION I JUST REALLY NEEDED TO POST IT LOL

(description from ao3 hopefully that link works!)

Peering at the two entries, the younger O’Hara finally selected one at random: Earth-6771. A new window opened from the middle screen and Miguel stepped away, coffee in hand, to get his suit. The footage flickered on, crisp and clean and the audio crackling with Miguel’s breath as he got to his feet atop a sand dune.

Spider-Woman 5051 was one of his first recruits. Together with Peter and Miguel's brother, they painstakingly built the Spider Society to suit their original vision of a communal, multiversal protection squad. Things change once Miguel leaves it behind to chase a life that's not his, damaging a blooming interdimensional love, and the fledgling Spider Society discovers just how quickly fate can change in a year and four months.

friendly PSA for everyone writing for miguel !!

i know a lot of spanish speakers have already expressed concern about this stuff but if y’all are gonna use spanish in fics please please please try using correct grammar, like accents/tildes and appropriate punctuation (¿? ¡!)

it makes it considerably more realistic and coherent, and spanish-speaking readers will be able to read without cringing 😭

i also just think we should talk about how expressive halsin's eyebrows are. like they should really have their own fandom tbh
