A great starter list of the unwritten rules for not pissing people off in the realm of fanfiction. Not stealing others work or ideas without permission is the most important.

The rules on tagging are really critical but I’d say I worry less about over-tagging and more about triggers NOT being tagged. I’m glad AO3 instated a 75 tag limit now, but I also love to laugh at the creative tags. So there’s a sweet spot. But definitely TAG THE TRIGGERS.

If I were to add to this I would also say respect the author‘s privacy. Don’t ask for personal information they haven’t shared and don’t spread it to others if they DO share personal details with you.

Sorry if this sounds rude and/or demanding, but what are the "rules of fanfic?" I have been in the community for a while, but have only learned from osmosis and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

There aren’t really any set-in-stone rules, just common accepted behavior that the wider fandom community agrees on through practice. The issue is that different fandoms, and in this case different fanfiction sites, have different standards of behavior and it’s annoying to see people not adjust their behavior when coming to a different site.  Most of it is learned through osmosis like you said, but some people need it spelled out.

- Don’t steal shit - Art or fic. The post i made earlier was inspired by seeing a fic where the author said not to repost their work on another site without permission, than admitted the fic featured art they stole from google images. Super hypocritical. Don’t do that.

- Don’t copy other people’s fics - “Inspired by” does not mean tell the exact same story beat for beat with only a few minor changes to detail and word choice. This has happened to me twice now. Insert Doofenshmertz meme.

- If you want to write something inspired by someone else, ask first. It’s polite.

- Don’t beg for updates in the comments

- Don’t advertise your own work in the comments of someone else’s fic

- Don’t spam comments

- Don’t write sexual comments on nonsexual works

- Don’t talk about ships on a gen work

- Don’t leave criticisms the author didn’t ask for

- Don’t ”request” what authors should write in future chapters. Speculate what might happen sure, don’t demand it.

- Don’t make posts/send messages fishing for someone to write/draw your idea for you, like “feel free to use this idea ;).”  If you want it so bad, either make it yourself or commission someone.

- Don’t bother with that read-for-read stuff. There are discord servers and such to advertise your work, don’t demand attention from other authors, then get upset when they aren’t interested.

- Don’t shame/guilt trip people for not reading your work.

- Don’t make a fic on ao3 that’s just “looking for a fic” or “fic request” or the like. There are plenty of other social media platforms to ask people for help finding something specific. Doing it on ao3 clogs the feed.

- Speaking of clogging the feed, don’t tag every single character who happens to have a speaking line or cameo. The tags are for people trying to find stories that feature the character in question and it’s annoying to have to sort though things where they only appear once and have maybe two lines. Stick to the ones who matter in the story.

- Be diligent in tagging other things. Not just potentially triggering topics. Do research and learn what tags mean and when they are warranted. Unlike wattpad, ao3 doesn’t have an algorithm so tags matter more than anything.  They let people find what they want to see, and block what they don’t.

- Don’t tagscum, aka stuffing tags that don’t/barely apply in order to get attention.

- Just don’t be an inconsiderate jerk.

There’s also a decent tvtropes forum discussion with these points and others if you want further reading:

I am so excited for this exchange! I will be reblogging ALL OF IT.

Sailor Moon 2021 Holiday Exchange

This art gift is for @over-roaming-waves based on the following prompt:

Prompt: Savoring the quiet moments

Characters: Setsuna (maybe reflecting on the gift that is her new life?)

So here's a cozy, hygge scene of a pillow'd-out bay window with a mug of green tea and a glimpse of heavy snow showers 🌨️☕ I grabbed inspiration from the manga surrounding Setsuna's outfits for the patterns plus what she's wearing here ☺️

I hope you like it! Merry Christmas!

~Sessediz

And thank you to those running the @sailormoonholiday blog for hosting this event again this year ♥️

Ways to Show-Not-Tell Love Between Characters

Just so you all know, a lot of these will work just as much with a platonic/friend love as with a romantic relationship. Love is for all, not just romance-seekers. <3 I hope you enjoy this list.

having a fun/exciting day together, ending with a peaceful moment together (head on the shoulder/cuddles while watching a movie/etc)

holding hands casually and not even noticing it because it's so natural to them

cuddling watching movies

enjoying each other's company while doing separate things - but doing it together

laughing too hard at each other's jokes while other people are looking at them like they're idiots

other people joking about "you're so sweet I'm going to puke/get a cavity/etc"

trusting each other no matter what the other's stupid plan is - they know they have each other's backs

playing with each other's fingers while they hold hands

forehead/cheek/nose kisses - it doesn't always have to be a passionate/lustful make out session

tender moments in general

having a really hard day and just looking forward to getting to come home to the other person

doing something stupid together and saying something like "I wouldn't do this with any other person."

knowing how to comfort the other person when they're sad or scared // alternately: asking how they can help and if the other is snappy/whatever else, giving them space or just holding them quietly and letting them cry

finishing each other's sentences and laughing together/high fiving/doing something silly

doing stupid/silly things together and having fun with it - fast forwarding to either of them doing it with another person - exact same thing - and being like this is so dumb

doing what it takes to help the other be who they want to be instead of trying to change them into who they want them to be

accepting them for who they are - people that want to change you do not love you

loving them no matter what but not being afraid of telling them they're being stupid when they're being hurtful (though some people are also very nervous about conflict, so for those people, maybe showing they want to be able to say something but are scared to. They can still love you, but they're scared of the conflict)

being reliable in ways they aren't for others

always being there for them, even when they themself are going through something horrible

If you guys would like me to add more, I can but for now, here are the first 20 examples that came to my mind. ^_^
