One Of The Honest To God Worst Things About All The Baby Wattpadders Migrating To AO3 Is How They're

One of the honest to god worst things about all the baby Wattpadders migrating to AO3 is how they're all formatting their shit and trying to do a whole marketing campaign in the summary and author notes because they're so used to the 2012 fancy text generator maybe your story will be read by a world famous movie director and you'll get famous and marry One Direction era that Wattpad superglued itself to.

Like when you've written your entire summary in double bold size 13 Barnbrook font I literally cannot see shit. Its just squiggles. Its just a mass of ugly squiggles that tells me less about your story than your 2 tags do.

Your summary should tell me what the story is about, not how excited you are to have written it and where to find you on a site I am clearly not using. You're not trying to sell your book at The Strand you're uploading it to an archive website known for ungodly smut and ships not even the devil himself would've thought of.

You don't need stolen fanart and unreadable font to get me to read your story you need appropriate tags and a summary that at the very least tells me if I should brace myself for Cars Universe cannibalism or not.

I love that no matter what social website you go on (except Facebook fuck you) has a Haiku bot. Its just universal. Your website is not worthy of its internet presence until you have one.

"AO3 is a broken site" is one hell of a way to admit you're too dumb to figure out how the filtering system works

Skill issue confirmed.

What are your thoughts on aging-up stuff, even if it's sexualize? It seems somewhat divisive these days on whether it's an okay thing, a grey area thing, or just plain immoral to do so, as I always makes me feel so insecure about drawing it.

Its fiction.

People complain if you sexualise fictional minors (even if you are, also, a minor.)

People complain if you age-up fictional minors to sexualise them.

People complain if you sexualise fictional characters regardless of age.

Morals are not the governance of fiction. Do what pleases you, not what pleases others.

An anti screenshot your post about fandom spaces not needed to be riddled with politics and real world events and saying how proshippers are the worst. Just letting you know in case you get an influx of hate from antis or others.

Thank you for the warning. Ultimately though, it would be wasted effort on their behalf. I wield the block button like a war hammer.

Hiiiiiii
