Ffn.net - Tumblr Posts
I’ve been without ao3 for too long that I’ve resorted to using fanfiction.net again.
I refuse to stoop to the level of wattpad. Sixth grade me was not prepared. I will not make the same mistake again.
How I use fanfiction.net:
Step one: search fanfiction.net
Step two: type the name of the character you want to read about
Step three: hit search; you will get a differentiating amount of results; use the box labeled narrow results to make your search more specific. It does not filter out ships, characters, and other stuff. However, it can give you fics based on what you choose, such as language, genre, etc..
This can help you @castielssuperhell
Without ao3, I can feel the life seeping out of me. Every passing minute the life force drains from my body, turning me into a sickly grey. My eyes are drooping and I can feel my organs start to fail. I can already see the light, shining so brightly above me. I am only hanging on by the transfusion of fanfiction.net. However, that is not my only woe. I can feel old fandoms creeping up behind me, ready to drag me back into their grasp. Danganronpa got me a week ago, yttd a few days before. Is this the end? Has life come full circle? What will historians think a hundred years from now? What will this crisis be called? The Fall of Creativity? Fanfiction Fodder? The Great Suppression? As a collectivity everyone has united in this detrimental time. We must stick together, offer up other sources to consume media created by talented, life providing authors.
Lots of Reddit threads on FFN recently having trouble.
Last May there were posts about FFN being abandoned. Anyone have links to those?
Some thoughts on the latest FFN hysteria
I see people took an unsubstantiated tumblr post as ~proof~ FFN was about to go down for good. Sheesh. Some thoughts:
Yes, you can copy text from FFN and from every other site that tries to block c&p. If your browser can display it, you can copy it.
OTW/AO3 only import archives with archivist permission. FFN will never grant this. Don’t count on OTW to save FFN if and when it eventually goes down.
No, you cannot post other people’s work to AO3 without permission. If you save copies of things, you’re looking at sitting on a private personal collection and maybe sending out individual fics to people who ask or donating the lot to a library in 30 years.
Add links to the Wayback machine.
Write up your fandom and its greatest hits on Fanlore so later people know what to even look for.
The time for preservation is now because that’s always true. Don’t wait for an emergency. That day will come even if not right now.
FFN hasn’t been good about communicating with users in twenty years. Radio silence is nothing new.
“FFN is dying” hysteria happens at least once a year.
Apparently, FFN.net quit sending me emails when people leave reviews for the past few months, so I've had a very lovely morning reading nice comments on fics I thought people hated.
Holiday Interrupted...
Part One: CHRISTMAS CH 1
Winters in Northern Japan can be extremely brutal. Especially when traveling the countryside 500 years in the past with no modern amenities. In the feudal era, something as simple as the common cold could be deadly if not properly treated. So Kagome was determined to come completely prepared. Granted, it was proving to be a much more difficult task than originally intended.
In the past, their group had been rather small. But with the recent addition of a certain bossy inuyokai, an annoying kappa, a confusing two heated dragon, and a 9 year old human girl, things had gotten crowded.
Her supply list had gotten considerably longer, but she didn't care. She had a surprise in store for everyone this year.
Normally, she would return home in the middle of winter to celebrate holidays with her family. In the 5 years she had been traveling through time, she had never once missed.
But this year, her family won an all expenses paid trip to New York City in America. They only had three tickets, so Kagome would be left alone this year.
It was fitting, really. The battle with Naraku seemed to be getting more intense lately. The kuro-hanyu seemed to be getting desperate the more time went on. The battles were more violent, and more blood seemed to be shed with each passing encounter.
But no matter how many times they faced the slimy spider in battle, there seemed to be no sure victory in sight.
Things needed to change. She decided to do that by giving the group a much needed boost of serotonin.
What better way to do that than with gifts? Since she would be alone on the holidays... why not bring the holidays to her second family?!
Thinking about how excited everyone would be put a new pep in her step; she quickly ventured onward through the shopping center, throwing things left & right into her cart.
IT'S TIME!!

Preview:
Sesshomaru watched as the Miko quietly walked away from the campsite. Pain and depression radiated from her aura, causing Sesshomarus instincts to be on edge.
It was unnatural, the dynamics of their pack. Unlike what would be expected, the Miko herself presented as the alpha rather than a son of the greatest alpha to ever live, as one would expect.
And the disrespect she suffered at the hands of her first packmate as an alpha was unheard of. It made him wonder if she even understood her position as leader of the group.
Curiosity Killed... The Dog?
It's time for this week's update!!! Tried my hand at a little action scene. Let me know what you guys think of it! 💬 🤔
You can read it on Ao3 WTTPD or FFN

Without stopping to think of the consequences, Kagura let loose a flurry of wind attacks, hoping one would cut that smirk right off of her smug little face. "Stop this Kagura! I have no idea what you're even talking about!"
"LIAR!" Finally one of her attacks hit. Kagura relished in the painful scream that ripped through the Miko's throat. It was almost as satisfying as the scent of her blood in the air.
Soon, Kagura would eliminate her once and for all and once she was gone, nothing would stand in the way of her gaining that which she desired only less than her freedom itself.
