The secret wish is to write a fanfic that someone loves so much they make fan art of it, or to create a drawing that someone creates an entire fic based off of it.
This has gotten so much attention and so many reblogs of people saying how much this happening to them would completely make their days, so I want to encourage you all:
WRITE FANART FANFIC!!
Even if it’s just a one shot!
DRAW FANFIC FANART!!!
Even if it’s just a sketch!!
We need to support each other more in that way as creators! ❤️ Bring joy to one another!!
guy sitting in front of me in class was vandalizing wikipedia and i kept reverting his edits as soon as he made them and he couldn’t figure out why it was happening
nothing more embarassing than when you develop personal beef with a piece of media thats entirely petty. like sorry no i cant talk about that show it. bit me.
this is by far the most fun Ive ever had reading tags on a post that blew up
About the AO3 “No Guest Comments for a while” warning
If you’re not following any of AO3’s social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of “spam comments” have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out ‘Guest’ accounts. Obviously, I’m not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don’t have an AO3 account won’t be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn’t yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you’re probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you’re in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
