Im Sorry. What In The Actual

I’m sorry. What in the actual 🥵

I’ll take Tech next. Thanks.

Another WIP Wednesday is upon us my friends and I bring you some Captain Baja Blast, aka Howzer!

My extremely unpopular Hunter opinion

Why does Hunter have to be thought of as Omega’s dad? Why can’t he just be her brother?

Just because people in universe only seem to be able to grasp the Batch’s relationship with Omega through the lens of half a nuclear family, WE know better. I wouldn’t want Hunter to be my dad. My big brother? Sure. But if he’s a dad, he’s doing the minimum and getting all the credit.

Oooooo, he’s such a dad! Yeah, if you mean he’s emotionally distant. And if you mean he leaves the majority of child rearing to others.

Honestly, I didn’t have a problem with Hunter until I encountered the fandom. Because he’s no more Omega’s dad than the rest of them, and I’d argue that the other three probably spent more time with Omega than Hunter ever did. So, I guess Hunter is a full-blown pre-2000s model father.

End rant.

I really only wanted to show my Clone OC's Tattoos, buuut who was ever hurt by shirtless Wolffe, Rex, Cody and Kix? 👀

I'd kind of love to draw some fanarts of canon Clones ... Which ones would you like to see?

I am but a lowly smut-let writer, but I hold my regular readers and commenters gently to my heart, and think about them constantly as I conjure new positions for my blorbos to fuck. 🤔

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"

Challenge accepted!

PAIRING: tech x male reader

SUMMARY: You dom Tech. He takes it well.

WORDS COUNT: 2657

RATING + WARNINGS: 18+, very spicy, porn without plot, BDSM, lots of anal stuff

NOTES: I wrote this for three reasons: 1. I was challenged to write subTech. 2. I saw this post with this very inspirational art and was inspired. 3. I am punishing Tech for not having returned and making me a whiny bitch in the meanwhile.

Hello fanfic writers, I see you 🫵 More male readers please I beg I beg on my hands and knees. Also ngl I kinda popped off on this one. The roller under him for ease and comfort <3 Tbb: Hunter Crosshair Echo Wrecker Spicy Taglist: @bigbi4322 @dangraccoon

Not only do I kudos and comment on everything I read, I look at the profiles of people who do the same for me, and if they’ve got something short I can read, I do and leave kudos and a comment.

if there’s nothing short, I bookmark or subscribe for later. I’ve got to be the change I want to see in the AO3 world.

Is leaving kudos on fanfics not common courtesy anymore?

Something I've noticed on AO3 in the last two years is the lack of kudos and comments left on fanfics.

Fanfics have an increasing number of hits, but their kudos and comments remain minimal.

I understand that leaving comments is daunting, but kudos is the easiest thing you can do to show support and appreciation for an author.

Part of me wants to blame BookTok and the commercialized consumption of books.

Readers are more demanding and impatient for content, but they're quick to move on once a book is published. It's a constant demand for 'More, more, more' without appreciating and/or supporting authors. And these readers are now getting into fanfic.

I don't want to complain because it's not productive. But if you're new and getting into fanfic: Support writers.

Support means leaving kudos on AO3, and if you're able, leaving a comment. It's simple courtesy.
