I know you guys wanted Atla fan art from me, and I promise I have some more in the works but… masters on a string..? 

Hi everyone! Please see my prices for commission:

Writing:

1 ko-fi = 1 request, any ship, any quadrant. 

I’ll write a minimum of 300 words, but will likely exceed that (see my request collection on AO3 as an example of how I write to prompt).

If you would like something longer, get in contact and I’ll give you a quote based on exactly what it is you want written. 

I have the right to refuse any requests based on personal preference (though I never judge) and I study full time, so turn-around is unlikely to be instant. Message me for further details. 

Editing: 

1 ko-fi per 3,000 words, with a 1 ko-fi minimum. 

I have a degree in Professional Writing and Editing and can provide examples of fanfic that I’ve edited this year on request. I can edit to America, Canadian, British and Australian English, and can do line editing (grammar, punctuation) and content suggestion, depending on what suits you. 

I have the right to refuse based on personal preference (though I never judge) I study full time, so turn-around is unlikely to be instant. Message me for further details.

If you’re interested, please get in contact with me. If you think someone you know might be interested, please share this post!

Anyone can play a princess. Anyone who says otherwise has a small imagination.

This is a challenging process, although we’ve found ways to streamline it and can normally get a reply out pretty quickly (like within a few days).  We do it because this is part of why AO3 exists in the first place - to provide a safe haven where users can post their works without worrying about censorship or sudden crackdowns on certain kinds of content.  We do it because this is important, and helping these users get their accounts and be able to share their works safely is why we’re here.  We hope that we’ll be able to help as many of them as possible.  

There have been a few (thankfully few, that I’ve seen) complaints about these new AO3 users not always knowing how things work - what language to tag with, or what fandom tags to use, for instance.  To this I would say:

1. Have patience and be considerate.  They are coming to a new site that they aren’t familiar with, and using it in a language they may not be expert in, and it might take a while to learn the ropes.  You can filter out works tagged in Chinese if you don’t want to see them.  Or just scroll past.  

2. You can report works tagged with the wrong language or the wrong fandom to our Policy and Abuse team using the link at the bottom of any page.  This will not cause the authors to “get in trouble” (a concern I’ve heard before, as people are reluctant to report for these reasons).  It means the Policy and Abuse team will contact them to ask them to change the language/fandom tag, and if the creator doesn’t, they can edit it directly. 

From @fineillsignup ‘s great post a few months back:

In English-speaking fandom, pairing names are pretty much exclusively romantic and/or sexual. In spaces like AO3, romantic and platonic relationships are specifically separated out with the slash versus the ampersand.

In Chinese-speaking fandom and Japanese-speaking fandom, this is not necessarily the case. In particular, with tags on sites for art.

If you see someone tag a pair of siblings, a parent and child, or even just friends, with what appears to be a “pairing name” such as ItaSasu, that does not necessarily mean the tagger intends to indicate romantic/sexual relationship. Rather, tags of this kind are used freely and loosely to simply indicate close interaction.

It’s March!! And you know what that means: March Eridan time!

This year I challenged myself more than usual by drawing three characters, a background, and interesting lighting in addition to the usual difficult clothing and poses. I went with a Wreckstuck/Distrait life of Mistakes theme, a great fic series by @temporaldecay​. You can find it on AO3, and the associated ask blog is @requisitionforms.

The character in the Alternian Moon themed palebait outfit is Russel Zephyr. Next to him in a blacker ensemble is Agness Syzygy, and last but not least is our titular Eridan Ampora, in more generic clubwear.
