“I didn’t care about anything that was left. I thought it was all over with me, and there was nothing to try for—only things to endure.”
— George Eliot, from Middlemarch
Scott: From now on, we’re using code names. You can address me as Eagle One
Scott: Allison is “Been There, Done That”
Scott: Kira is “Currently Doing That”
Scott: Lydia is “It Happened Once In a Dream”
Scott: Isaac is “If I Had to Pick a Dude”
Scott: And Derek is... Eagle Two
Derek: Oh thank God

Scott, about Stiles: “I’d Be Lying If I Said I Haven’t Thought About It” is in position!
these 20’s really aint roaring man
#absolutely #the unnecessary heartbreak it causes #tag them as incomplete #pls
BEGGING ao3 authors to not mark their incomplete works as complete. You're messing up filtering for everyone for literally no reason.
diversity win! everyone’s favorite maze runner character was confirmed to be gay 9 years after his in-series death!
- filter your searches like you would on a library website or in an online catalogue
- don’t post placeholders, fic searches, or recommendations as fics. DON’T! It’s against ao3 TOS
- there is no algorithm. ao3 sorts by date posted/updated unless you filter with specific search criteria
- ao3 is a non profit. that means it doesn’t sell ads to make money — it only survives on donations. this is why it can show you so many fics without ever flashing an ad or pop up at you!
- report fics that break TOS when you see them (I.e., placeholder fics, searches) to help other users navigate better
- the tag “dead dove, do not eat” doesn’t equate to gore/awfulness automatically. it is a complementary tag that enhances current tags. E.g., if the fic is tagged “gore” and “dead dove, do not eat” the author really wants you to mind the gore tag
- most fandoms have a variation of “no beta, we die like (x character)” and they all link back to the “No beta” tag
- publishing a new fic sometimes means it won’t show up in the fandom/pairing tag for a few minutes
- subscribers receive update emails at different times, depending on when you update/publish your fic. there’s no good way to predict when an e-mail will be sent — it can be in 30 seconds, or two hours later
- some fics are restricted by authors to those with ao3 accounts only. if you see a blue lock in the upper right corner, that fic is only visible to logged in ao3 users
- you can block commenters now! this didn’t use to be a thing
- updating a fic just to stay at the top of the pairing tag/fandom tag is a dick move. unless you’re legitimately editing or adding chapters, this just annoys readers and fellow authors, and people will skip over your fic
My favorite part of the Teen Wolf movie was when Liam and Theo kissed. Really was perfect.
I also loved that Derek and Stiles were married. Oh and Isaac and Kira came back.
Wow that movie was good!!
