Era's Realm

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

Dont’ Like, Don’t Read

or DL; DR

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.

Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.

On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.

If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.

The Back button is free. Use it.

Addendum:

Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.

I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.

Ship And Let Ship

or SALS

You are allowed to ship whatever you want.

Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.

You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.

If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.

All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.

Addendum:

”I agree with this, except when…”

No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.

Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.

You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.

If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.

Your Kink Is Not My Kink

or YKINMK / YKINMKATO

The longer version is ”Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That’s Okay”.

People have different tastes. Not everything is for everybody.

Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.

You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.

Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.

This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.

Be Kind

or Don’t Be An Asshole

Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.

Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.

Don’t harass real people over fictional things.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.

Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.

"i think if i gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly."

Kudos!!

Reread and still loved!

This was my bedtime story tonight! <3

I just spent the last 3 years, 8 months, and 15 days writing one (1) fic:

Now that I’m getting ready to start posting my 110k 15x20 fix-it, The Road Ahead (the sequel to my 59k 15x19 fix-it, The Rescue)...

I AM READY TO READ SOME FANFIC O_O

As a thank-you to the followers and mutuals who’ve kept me company on this long, long, L O N G journey, I want to see what YOU’VE made! I want to spend time with your fic and gaze upon your art, and comment and reblog and celebrate you.

I’ll be reblogging whatever you share with me with tag commentary, and if your work is on AO3 I’ll leave at least one comment there as well!

🥳 How to join the party:

🌟 Follow me 🌟 Reblog this post from now until August 4, 2026 🌟 Reblog my teaser post for The Road Ahead 🌟 Follow the guidelines below depending on whether you write fic or make art!

📚 Fic writers:

Reblog this post with info about your fic, or tag me in an existing promo post, or make a new post about your fic and tag me in it. Include the tag #theirprofoundbond’s finished the fic celebration just in case your @ tag doesn’t work for some reason.

Please include at least: a link, the title, word count, rating, any content warnings, and the summary

I want to know why you want to share this specific fic with me! Tell me what it means to you, what you’re proud of about it, and/or why you love it 😊

Guidelines for fic:

Supernatural fics, please!

Any length (yep, really! If it’s very long it might take me a little while to finish it, but at this point I think I’ve demonstrated I’m good at finishing what I start 😂)

No character bashing (even for characters you think really deserve it)

Completed fics rather than WIPs, please (because I’m celebrating finishing a WIP and all)

Anything other than a finale fix-it (because I’ve been working on fixing the finale since April 2021 🥲 and I’m ready to read something else)

🎨 Visual artists:

Open to fanartists, gifmakers, fanvidders, moodboard makers, physical fanwork makers—all of you!

Tag me in the posts of up to 3 pieces you’ve created, OR tag me in something you created for a fic (your own or someone else’s; I’ll read the fic, too!). Add the tag #theirprofoundbond’s finished the fic celebration in case your @ tag doesn’t work for some reason.

I want to know why you want to share these specific works with me! Tell me what you’re proud of about them, behind-the-scenes details, and/or why you love them 😊

Please nothing very NSFW! Artistic nudity and suggestive pieces are welcome, though

Thank you—now let’s have some fun! 🎉

Follow along with the festivities in the tag #theirprofoundbond’s finished the fic celebration

Check out my teaser post for The Road Ahead

😇

The epilogue sequel to The Rescue is FINISHED!!!

And you know, I thought about making a "my hand slipped" joke.

But the truth is, I worked on this fic for longer than it took me to complete my university degree. I had a complete outline for it even before my posting day for The Rescue. It was a whole year before I could begin writing it, and then it took me 3 years, 8 months, and 15 days to complete my draft and self-edits.

(It also took me 45,000 words to figure out that I was in fact writing a sequel, and not an epilogue. Yes, it's okay to laugh at me about that.)

I wrote a 59k fix-it for 15x19, and then I wrote a 110k fix-it for 15x20. I've been working on fixing the finale since April 2021, and 169,000 words and more than 5 years later... I'm almost done!

I can't begin to describe how excited I am to start posting this baby 😄

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

The crowdfunding campaign for our next anthology, Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales, launched yesterday, and we’re already almost 50% funded and a Kickstarter “Project We Love”!

With Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales, our authors and artists bring our perspective as queer adults in the 21st century to the stories, some ancient, some modern, that meant the most to us when we were young. Each creator selected a folktale, fairy tale, myth, or legend that had personal significance for them, then reimagined these personal touch-stones as we wish they could be: stories that uphold our cultures, stories that impart the lessons and morals we wish to impart, stories that drive home the cautions we wish we’d received, stories in which people like us are the heroes held forth for emulation. We’ve transformed these stories to be more inclusive, more personal, more understanding of others, and—of course!—much more queer.

The book contains 23 stories, each up to 5,000 words long; 21 full-page artworks; a 4-page comic by Max Jason Peterson; and a 10-page comic by Jupiter V—a total of 46 queer fanworks inspired by stories from North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

In addition to the book, we’re offering awesome merch – two stickers, a bookmark, an art print, a slate coaster, an acrylic window hanging, an enamel pendant necklace, and a journal! There’s also a ton of add-ons you can choose from, from stories from our back catalog to Duck Prints Press merchandise and more.

Visit our campaign page TODAY to learn more about the anthology, our contributors, what we’re offering to backers, and our plans for getting this book into print with your help!

Below there's a general guide on my pricing, but depending on what you're looking for the price might fluctuate, with additions to backgrounds, amount of detail etc. I will keep you up with the process with WIPs and you may do revisions to the pieces along the way, between each phase. ..Let's chat about it, and get your vision realized, send me a DM~!

Payment with PayPal ONLY! I will request half of the price of the piece in advance, and half after the piece is finished.

NOTE!! Due to currency rates and rising costs in currency exchanges all art will be billed in euros or the approximation of the euro value in dollars.

I need a beta/alpha reader 🥹

My stupid brain decided to go into JJK obsession hell and that a stsg fix-it needed to happen. I need someone to keep me sane <3

Fandom: Jūjutsu Kaisen

Status: Unpublished, 3 chapters written.

Length: Currently at 15K, I wanna say it will be about 50K but last I said that, the monster turned out to be 172K

Major characters/pairings: Gojō/Getō (no top/bottom dynamics), SaShiSu soulmating hard, Shōko/women, Gojō and Getō randomly ONSs with OCs because of plot points, Haibara crushing hard on Getō but one sided, Nanami being in the middle of all of this and tired.

Rating and warnings: Explicit. Canon typical violence, a bit gore in some rare scenes, explicit sex mentions (not full sex scenes but the 3 paragraphs about it will have explicit content), depression, Getō is his own warning (blanket warning for Getō being Getō), a lot of side characters dying (OCs), grieving, Gojō is a maniac. Sex as a form of escapism. Meaningless casual sex. Hurt and a veeery delayed comfort. It will be a happy ending (even if it won’t look like it for long a while).

Kind of assistance I'd like: Mostly on plot pacing, flow, and structure and make sure characters are IC. Basic SPaG if you can be bothered but the most important is the writing part. Ideally open to help brainstorm a scene or two or a concept or two, but not necessary.

Time frame: I started this like 2 months ago and won’t publish until it’s finished, so no pressure.

Fandom familiarity: you have to be familiar with canon until Shibuya + JJK0.
