5.) If you like a fic. Comment on it - it'll make the authors day and help motivate them to keep writing. Even if your just sending emotional hearts. (Do not however harass an author to update - its very rude)

6.) ALWAYS READ THE TAGS!! They help you avoid the things your uncomfortable with reading/not old enough to read/don't like reading.

7. Mind the ratings. E = explicit content, M = mature content, T = teens and up content, G = for everyone types of content.

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

This is my thought process whenever I kill a charecter.

i literally love my characters like their my children help

i would die for them

too bad i have to kill them 😔

[zariahthewitch]

Because you made the mistake of giving them will - now their rebelling doing whatever they damn well please.

I keep thinking the story I'm writing is gonna go one way and then the characters in the book go 'Actually, no.'

I created you, why are you fighting me

[zariahthewitch]

I feel this so fucking hard and I never even had a Watpad account. However I have looked at my old writing and it pains me to read it.

[zariahthewitch]

As a writer I can say with 100% certainty that this is a fact and very very true.

Every writer has two sides:

"I love my characters, they are my children and will protect them with my life"

"I wanna make them suffer so fucking much"

[zariahthewitch]

THIS IS SO TRUE!! I LOVE IT!!!

Writing is exactly like this

Writer's Corner

[zariahthewitch]

Omg I wish this would happen to me! PLEASE!!!

I WOULD DIE OF JOY IF IT DID!!!!!

yeah sex is cool I guess

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting

[zariahthewitch]

Thank you Tumblr for the call out.

[zariahthewitch]

Anyone who reblogs this post will have their user written on a poster saying "We Stand With Palestine" that I hope to put up somewhere in the village I live in, or the town that the village is next to.

[zariahthewitch]

This is me - thank you for calling me out once more Tumblr.
