Prompt #1 - Dawn

Dawn was Will's favourite time of the day. The golden rays that flooded Redmont, the stunning castle glowing red, and the perfect time to just breathe. The perfect time to climb his favourite tree and smile and...breathe.

Dawn was Jenny's favourite time of day. The happily chirping birds waking up and the most stunning blue sky coming from the pink hues of the sunrise.

Dawn was Alyss's favourite time of the day. The fresh air and the soft breeze that vlew through Redmont. The sunrise casting Redmont in shining red for all to see its glory.

Dawn was Horace's favourite time of the day. It was the perfect time for a jog, the perfect time to wake up and workout before breakfast, and it helped him focus.

Dawn was George's favourite time od the day. It was peaceful and calm. It was quiet and delightful. Dawn signified a new start, another chance, another day. It showed change and life, new and old.

Dawn was their favourite time of day for their own unique reasons, but perhaps it was their favourite time of day because they all got to see each other smile and bask in the glowing sunrise.

Anthony Lockwood didn’t fall in love with Lucy Carlyle because she left.

Anthony Lockwood realized that he loved Lucy Carlyle because she left. The falling started long, long before. The poor boy was a goner by the end of The Screaming Staircase and he had no idea.

AO3 Etiquette

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.

If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.

This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.
