AO3 update: Collection invitation preference

so in today's AO3 change log they explain a change they made in their newest update:

Our March 31 release added a new preference requiring users to opt-in if they'd like to allow collection moderators to invite their works to collections. [...]

Previously, a collection moderator could invite any work on the Archive to their collection, which would send an email to the creator asking them to approve or reject the invitation. Work creators could also choose to bypass the invitation process and allow mods to add their works to collections without needing to approve individual invitations.

By default, no one will be allowed to invite your work to their collection. If you'd like to change this, please go to your preferences page and choose "Allow others to invite my works to collections."

If you enable this preference, you'll receive an email for each new invitation, and your work won't be added to the collection unless you approve the invitation. You can always add your own work to collections or add the bookmark to your collection instead.

as someone who's a moderator for two relatively big collections ([1] [2]) this is kind of a bummer. I don't mind if creators don't accept my invitation to a collection, but not even being able to send that invitation sucks.

so, I want to bring awareness to this change so people can, if they so choose, toggle their preferences to allow their works to be invited into collections once more.

for this you need to go to your preferences page on your profile and scroll down to Collections, Challenges and Gifts. the first option there is the one you want to check to allow your works to be invited into collections, like so:

EDIT: since people won't stop clowning in the notes this post is now being removed to the no-no box thank you all very much

Baldur's Date Open Creative Challenge!

Artists, Writers, Creators of All Kinds!

You are cordially invited to join a creative challenge!

You must be 18 years old or over to join, but there will be 2 categories, one for SFW works and one for NSFW works!

Accepted Submission Types

Please note all works must be your own and not made using any AI, including AI RP bots for writing.

Art

Comics

Valentine's Card

Fiction

Drabble collection (series of short fic, 1-5 paragraphs each)

Poetry

Song lyrics

Full songs/music

Podfic (With agreement from the fic writer)

Cosplay (No Nudes/NSFW/Explicit please)

Other Crafts (Puppets, embroidery, paper figure cut outs - whatever you like!)

For the Rules and More Details, please see below! Credit to Morb for the new event banner!

Welcome to the Baldur's Date Challenge!

Please be aware this event will include spoilers to characters, storylines, and endings, as well as NSFW content. Proceed with care!

The idea is to create something themed around a Date or Valentine Event. It doesn't even have to be romantic or positive, there are lots of ways to take this from Valentine's Cards from characters to slow burn romance to fully brutal heartbreak and violence. The choices are yours!

The Rules

By participating, even in the SFW version, you agree and confirm you are 18 years old or over.

All creators retain full rights to their works, subject only to the conditions of the platforms they share them on (ie, AO3)

Submissions must contain at least one named character from Baldur's Gate 3

Submissions must also be based around a date, valentine-type event, or similar

AUs, non-canon, alternate versions of characters are all WELCOME

You may choose your own prompt, or use the quiz to help you decide!

Poly Romance Welcome

Characters only, no actors or real people, other than using "Reader Insert" with 2nd person writing styles.

All works must be tagged appropriately for any CWs (please ask TavyliaSin for a list if required)

All characters must be 18 or over in the game as well as in the work you create

No characters in romantic relationships are to be related to each other.

Trans and gender-swapped characters are welcomed, unless it is only for the explicit purpose of making a canon homosexual couple into a heterosexual couple (eg, making Aylin a man so that the relationship with Isobel is straight)

Deadline is 10th Feb to allow for time to check entries

Collections will go live just before midnight on 13th Feb so they are ready to be viewed on Valentine's Day

If you would like to help with the event running, please contact TavyliaSin on Twitter, Discord, or anywhere else you can hunt her down~

Dead Dove and controversial topics, kinks, and characters are allowed but must be properly tagged to give people a choice of what they engage with. This also means there is to be no shaming - Tavylia would like to support all creative works even ones she isn't personally fond of or would avoid.

How Do I Join?

You can either send your submissions directly to the AO3 Collections, or if you don't have AO3 you can wait until 14th Feb and reblog/retweet the posts I'll make for the collections on the day to add your contributions. It's open to EVERYONE who is 18+! Join in, give it a try! Submissions on AO3 close on 10th Feb 2024 (just before midnight GMT/UTC 0) so please try to get things in on time to be on AO3 so we have a few days to accept and check submissions. The collections will go live on 14th February for Valentine's just around midnight UTC0/GMT

Select "Post to Collection" to add your work! All works will be hidden until the collection releases on 14th.

Are there any Prompts?

Yes! Aside from the general theme there are prompts for art and writing (and anything else) on the following google form. You can roll dice to decide for you as each question has numbered answers and instructions on the dice to use! But you don't have to stick to the result you get - choose what you like. You don't even have to roll dice at all if you don't want to, just take a look at the selection for some ideas and choose what's interesting in it.

You can enter as many pieces as you like, so please use this to have fun and enjoy yourselves~

If you have any questions please drop them in comments, or contact me anywhere you can find me~

Hey content consumers!!

Did you know you can search for multiple tags on tumblr???

When you perform a search you can enter more than one tag with a comma in between to narrow down your results!

That means that you can totally search for the #sicktember 2023 tag along with your favorite fandom/alternative fandom tag! With any luck, something super awesome will pop up!

On a similar note- content creators are encouraged to use the #sicktember 2023 tag so others can find and enjoy your work!

Also, be sure to check out the 2023 collection on AO3!

And don't forget to like, reblog, comment, and kudos!!

All Falls Apart

[Jotaro Kujo x GN Reader] CW: reader death, mention of past deaths, medical terms, implied PTSD, grief, generally a sad read

Word Count: 1,602

Summary: It was almost ironic that he’d pursued a profession in healthcare. Even now, the stern expression that’d become etched onto his face often intimidated patients and staff alike, and he’d grown accustomed to the general shift in demeanor upon entering a room. But tonight, his main concern was you. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

It started as a normal shift; as normal as it could be, at least.

Jotaro stood out amongst his peers, even through adolescence. He was labeled as a delinquent, as a boy that was always “harsh” and “unwelcoming”. He never broadcasted his emotions to the outside world, and when he did it was often depicted incorrectly, as if the wires got crossed somewhere along the way. Over time, he’d learned to accept it for what it was. He’d learned to bury any hint of softness and retreated within himself as he upheld the facade that others had bestowed upon him.

It was almost ironic that he’d pursued a profession in healthcare. Even now, the stern expression that’d become etched onto his face often intimidated patients and staff alike, and he’d grown accustomed to the general shift in demeanor upon entering a room.

He’d been lucky enough to switch to the night shift. No strained interactions with concerned patients and parents, no small talk to sit through. His job had been reduced to checking vitals, making midnight rounds, and occasionally escorting patients to the O.R.

It was simple. Peaceful.

But tonight, his main concern was you.

You’d been admitted prior to the start of his shift, and he was given a brief patient history as he swapped places with the nurse formerly assigned to your case. A sympathetic part of him reeled as he looked over your chart; you’d clearly been through a lot. No one could tell him what had happened upon arrival, either, but even so, the dim lighting seemed to accentuate every cut, scrape, and bruise painted across your body.

He wasn’t incapable of feeling those emotions, contrary to popular belief. It’d happened before, just as it happened now; he saw himself in your place. He saw his friends in your place. He saw everything he fought so hard to maintain as he observed your tattered frame.

He somehow managed to choke down those bitter feelings, tucking it all away with the rest of the emotions he’d buried over the years. It’d be better that way, or at least that’s what he’d tell himself in situations like these. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

The biggest mistake Jotaro made was allowing himself to open up to you.

You’d regained consciousness as he was shifting the blankets aside to check the placement of the central line that’d been affixed to your inner thigh upon admission, and he braced himself for the incoming disgruntled reaction he’d come to know so well.

But there was something different about you.

Instead, you talked freely with the man; no nervousness, no forced smiles, no meaningless conversation for the sake of being polite. You stared up at him with a doe-like gaze, without an ounce of terror looming behind it. It felt as though you could peer into the depths of his soul; as if you, and you alone, could simply reach out and touch the soft boy who had been hidden away for all of those years. Around you, he felt the bark begin to soften, the stone begin to crumble.

You’d asked him what drove him to become a nurse. In the four years he’d worked here, no one had ever thought to ask him a question such as that, and though the answer brought up tainted memories of the past, he felt his lips curl up into a faint smile, something that nearly felt foreign to him.

“You know, I wanted to be a marine biologist,” he said.

That much was true, but he didn’t know how much more he’d be able to tell you. He didn’t know how much you’d understand in your sedated state, or even how much you actually wanted to hear, and he certainly didn’t want you to put together the wrong pieces of a broken puzzle, especially while you were struggling enough on your own.

How was he supposed to tell you about the horrifying truths of this world? You were practically sitting on death’s doorstep.

How was he supposed to tell you about Kakyoin, about Avdol? It wasn’t his place.

He’d have to skip the fine details.

“My mother was sick for a while when I was younger, and I remember doing everything I could to help her. That’s when I knew.”

You seemed satisfied enough with that answer, and for what felt like the first time in god knows how long, he received a genuine smile in response. That seraphic smile would forever stay etched into the back of his mind, that much he was sure of.

There was one more thing that stood out to Jotaro in that moment; a simple phrase muttered under your breath.

“You’re beautiful,” you mumbled.

Beautiful.

A three syllable word placed in a short sentence that took up a fraction of a second in his twelve hour shift.

A word that was always used to refer to his lovers but never used to describe someone like him. A word that kissed the tips of his ears and sent a velvety warmth through his cheeks as it fell effortlessly from your lips.

Of course he’d try to shrug it off, telling you to get more rest as he hung antibiotics and pushed fluids, but that word rang through his ears for hours, and relentlessly tugged at his heart. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Jotaro responded to the call light seven hours into his shift.

He wasn’t exactly sure of what to expect upon his arrival, but his breath hitched as he caught your gaze. Your eyes, once filled with nothing but gentleness and compassion, had grown red and puffy around the edges, mirroring that of his mother’s as she nearly succumbed to the grips of fate.

His heart sank as your bottom lip trembled ever so slightly, and his legs nearly buckled beneath his weight as he heard your voice begin to break.

“I’m dying,” you said shakily.

“You’re not dying,” he attempted to reassure you.

“I’m alone-” you swallowed back tears as they flooded your vision, and you would no longer keep your eyes on his. “I’m dying, and I'm all alone.”

Jotaro had always found the human body truly fascinating. Able to withstand some of the worst damage imaginable, yet, still so fragile. Able to recognize when something is seriously wrong, before one’s brain even has a chance to dwell on it. They say people close to death have a way of knowing when it’ll come, and though he didn’t want to believe it, he’d encountered that occurrence far too many times to consider it a mere coincidence.

The worst part of it all was that Jotaro remained powerless in all of it. He could push pain medicine to make you more comfortable, he could push pressors to raise your steadily declining blood pressure; he’d do everything in his power given the chance, but none of it would matter. You were running out of time, you knew it as well as he did.

He found himself instinctively grabbing your hand, and though the ice in your fingertips coated his veins with a deep sense of unease, he plastered on the bravest face he could manage.

“You’re not alone,�� he told you. “I won’t leave you alone.” ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

The last few hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

You’d peered up at him with a peaceful resignation, a tenderness that seemed painfully familiar to Jotaro by now. He’d sat vigilantly at your bedside, and his fingers remained interlaced with yours even through your final moments, as the two of you exchanged life stories.

He finally told you about Kakyoin, and he told you about Avdol. He told you about his mother, and how much you reminded him of her. He told you about his daughter, about how she was so young, yet so mature for her age, and how he feared he’d been turning into his father.

The soft morning light filtered through drawn shades and cast a cool shadow over your weary face, and he found it harder to remain composed by the second.

Your voice had lowered to just above a whisper as you expressed your gratitude for his kindness, and his heart broke at every labored breath, until you finally took your last.

The silence that followed was deafening, and for the first time since his return from Egypt, he allowed tears to drop as bullets beneath him. His shoulders shook, his chest heaved, and his throat felt as if it was going to close in on itself as he was crushed by the weight of another innocent life lost.

He knew it’d only be a matter of time before the code team would arrive, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to face the rush of it all. He wiped the tears from his eyes as he gently released your hand from his grasp to place it delicately across your chest.

His ears perked up at the bustling sound emanating from the hall, and he knew this was it; he’d once again been forced to leave, just as he’d left his friends in Egypt, just as he’d left his mother at home, and it tore him apart. Commanding Star Platinum to utilize The World, he leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on your forehead before stepping out of sight.

While Jotaro tried to remain detached from the situation over the coming weeks, there was one truth that remained unspoken. You had become another face imprinted into the depths of his memory, another name scribbled across the surface of his weakened heart. You would not be forgotten, even if it killed him to remember.

♡ This story is a part of a small collection I've got going on AO3. Not all of them are like this, most of them are pure smut, which is why I never really thought to post them here, but feel free to check it out if you want! ♡

Tamlin Week 2024 AO3 Collection: Link and Instructions

Tamlin Week starts in just a few days, on April 14! (click here for prompts and rules). If you post a fic to AO3, be sure to add it to the Tamlin Week 2024 AO3 Collection!

What is an AO3 Collection?

A collection is exactly what it sounds like! A link where all of the fics published for Tamlin Week are collected together, so they can be viewed together. It's a great way to keep track of everything being produced for the event week.

How do I add my fic to the AO3 Collection?

There are 3 ways to add your fic to the collection:

From the Collection page itself

Click on the link to the collection (here) and click "Post to Collection". You can do this after you've published.

2. While you're publishing your fic

As you publish, there's a section titled "Associations." The first option in that section is "Post to Collections/Challenges." Simply type in "Tamlin Week 2024" and this collection is the first one to pop up!

3. After you've published your fic

If you've published before you've added your fic to the collection, do not despair! You can add your fic to the collection the exact same way from the "Edit" option on the fic.

I'm still confused!

That's okay, the AO3 page is a little confusing! Feel free to DM us if you have any questions, or if you want us to add your fic to the collection for you.

Steddie Song Fics AO3 Collection

AO3 Collection Information;

To help circulate all these wonderful fanworks, we have created a collection on AO3 for you to add all your work too. This collection is moderated, so as to ensure all fics are remaining within our guidelines, so make sure to give them a read before you submit anything.

Each year, we will open a new subcollection for all of these fics, so as to not flood these collections with endless fics (hopefully), and any fanwork you create (write, draw, etc).

Only microfics associated with our prompt lists will be accepted in this collection, so please be sure to clearly state your work is part of our challenge. You can see how to do that in the bullet points below;

Include the prompts you have chosen in the title of your fic.

In the summary section of your fic, specify which month your prompt comes from. (Some lose examples; "Inspired by Marauders Rarepair Microfics May prompts" OR "Inspired by Marauders Rarepair Microfics 70's prompts" OR "@marauders-rarepair-fics prompts on tumblr").

This years collection is titled "Marauders Rarepair Microfics 2024" (or you can search for the url; MaraudersRarepairMicro24). Submissions for this collection will open on May 1st.

We can't wait to see this collection fill up with your beloved ships!

For a bit of extra fun, we have also created a parent collection, and any Marauders rarepair microfics written that are NOT associated with our monthly prompts can be submitted here.

The guidelines for this collection;

Must align with our rules and guidelines.

Must NOT be created for our monthly prompts.

Can be pre-existing! If you have short rarepair fics from weeks, months, or even years ago that you'd like to add to this collection, go ahead!

New works are groovy too. If you simply get inspired and write a little somethin' somethin', feel free to add it to this collection!

Must be original works, and no AI is permitted.

This collection is titled "Marauders Rarepair Microfics" (or you can search for the url; MaraudersRarepairMicro). Submissions for this collection are currently open!

Happy writing! And readers, don't forget to reblog and/or comment. We're here to spread some more love on the little guys, and audience interaction is the fastest, best way to do that. We promise NO authors will think you're weird for leaving comments under their fics, in fact, they love it! A simple heart will make theirs flutter, and a paragraph explaining your love for their work will probably earn you a metaphorical kiss on the mouth. Don't be shy, reply!

I wrote an ORV Hallmark Christmas movie romance for the Omniscient Reader’s Holiday Collection: A Hallmark Viewpoint and I’m proud of it. I worked on this baby for months.

Summary: Busy businessman Kim Dokja's life is the opposite of a feel-good Hallmark Christmas Movie. But when he crashes his car during a blizzard, he finds himself stuck in a charming small town and snowed in with the handsome, rugged, (ahem) muscular lumberjack Yoo Joonghyuk.

Can this woodsman with a heart of gold help Kim Dokja learn to embrace the Christmas spirit and find his Hallmark movie happily ever after?

#it IS 13k words but that’s because it has every trope in there #orv #orv fic #orv holiday collection #ao3 collection #christmas fic

A nice collection of assorted reading, this is the GaleCord Secret Santa Event Collection! GaleCord is a Gale based fan server, but we have developed and nurtured an active, supportive, and welcoming community of smut writers in the NSFW areas who write for a range of pairings. You're more than welcome to come and join us in https://discord.gg/GaleCord - just mind the rules, no sharing the server or contents to performers/studio employees, and remember that Mystra sucks. Anyway, here's a preview of the collection - a few more are adding to it later as we had 16 entries and not all of them are uploaded yet~ Mind the tags, of course, but so far we have: - Bloodweave (multiple fics with this one) - Astarion/Tav - Omeluum/Tav - Gale/f!OC - Astarion/Halsin/Gale - Durge/Gortash - Dammon/Karlach/f!Reader - Wyll/Astarion

My own entry is this one: The Words That Bind Your Pages - Bloodweave with Dom!Astarion and willpower bondage. Sample below! Smut Below The Cut~

---------- The Words That Bind Your Pages ----------

Gale was entranced. Slick fingers scissoring open the very destination his desire wanted to leap towards. He tried to imagine a heavy weight pressing atop him, holding his body still to keep him from climbing atop the chair in front of him and taking what he wanted. And oh how he wanted it. The pale form of his lover was the most beautiful sight he could imagine, and there was no need for imagination now. Even the depths of the Weave had failed to reveal marvels more magnificent than the sight of Astarion pleasuring himself, preparing himself, all the while taking back ownership of all of it. The connection they felt was clearly no accident, and went far beyond a tadpole squirming in their brains… The heat building in him as he watched was almost unbearable, but…he would give himself over to this fire time and time again, burning up beneath the command of crimson eyes. Those words were the only ones worth listening to, the only requests- the only commands that were worth following. The wound on his neck ached softly on the edge of his consciousness, still longing to feel that gentle pressure, the kiss of death that made life worth living. His chest glowed more with the Weave reacting to his lust, yet he swallowed the magic back down. Not one syllable of a spell would pass his lips, his fingers would not seek a single strand of the power he once craved. Instead, they sought tighter purchase on his sanity, almost bruising his legs as he realised his lover was finally ready to put an end to the teasing. “On the bed,” the soft words almost purred from the vampire’s throat, rich with desire, “take off your clothes and lay back, love, and I will give you everything you want.” Gale stopped himself from replying, biting back the words. He would simply have to lavish his lover with an essay of affection when they were done. His clothes hit the floor with a few deft movements and a quiet swish of fabric. Astarion’s shirt joined the pile as the wizard moved back on the bed, heated skin feeling the contrast of cool sheets beneath him.

The vampire on all fours crawling towards him looked every bit the predator he should, the hint of fangs and sparkling crimson eyes screaming danger to the part of Gale’s mind that was stubbornly hidden beneath a thick curtain of lust. As he lay his head back on the pillows, he stilled his body, trying to calm the rush of his heart thrumming in his chest. “Give me your hands.” Astarion straddled his waist now, sitting upright and reaching out towards him. The command was quickly followed, and the elf took one hand in each of his own in the manner of a noble greeting a potential lover at a ball. “You have been so patient, love, so very good.” Gale felt the cool soft lips press a demure kiss to the back of his hand, blush rising to his cheeks more strongly than during the entire salacious performance. “I think it’s about time for your reward.” Astarion kissed his other hand, this time adding more along the backs of his fingers, shifting his hand’s grip until he could reach the tip of his index finger. “The greatest magic, darling, is not what you can do. It’s what you can feel .” Gale gasped as his dearest vampire slowly took his finger between his lips, tongue curling around and sucking gently, a soft moan reaching his ears and all the while their eyes were locked together in a lover’s gaze. When he was done with the lewd kiss, Astarion slid his grip to Gale’s wrists, lowering them down to either side of his head on the pillows. He pressed down hard for a prolonged moment, then let go and sat up above him once more. “There, love, can you not feel me still? Even though I’ve left? Be a good little Wizard and keep them there.” He paused as Gale nodded. “You can answer with your voice this time, but only briefly. After that, all I will hear from you is the sweet sound of you moaning my name.” Gale felt himself trembling slightly, but he nodded again. “As you wish, my love.” ---- The rest is on AO3, though I may try to post the full thing here at some point in the future~ Enjoy!
