I Change Hyperfixations A Lot

Hi everyone. I've been meaning to come here for a couple weeks now to put up my first original post (like not a reblog or anything lol) and share my AO3 fic. I can already tell I sound like a noob tumblr user so please bear with me. I've been reading and interacting for a couple years but never generating my own stuff because I doubt others will interact, and that's okay, but I do really want to share this.

I have spent the better part of two years on this fic, Amends, and it is a post The Falcon and the Winter Soldier tv show story for anyone that is interested in Bucky Barnes. like. at all.

It focuses heavily on him and an oc, but Sam is definitely in it, and Peter Parker makes a cameo. I have six chapters so far and can't promise the next update, but I'm really hoping to lock in and make it monthly at the very worst. Bimonthly at best lol.

Would love love love if anyone could give some feedback or leave some comments so I know my work is being enjoyed by someone other than me! I feel like it's my best/longest piece to date and I don't share often, but this is something I've been really passionate about personally and tentatively passionate about socially, so I thought I'd give the wide wide internet a shot next.

Thanks in advance guys!!! :)

Update: I pinned this as my intro bc I’m lazy but I’m seeing so many more ppl interact with my stuff and it makes me so frickin giddy and so I wanna say hi—hi!!!

Okay so. What the fuck.

(And this is coming from someone who doesn’t swear often. I am pissed.)

STOP TRYING TO DO YOUR SALES PITCHES ON AO3. AND DEFINITELY STOP USING AI TO DO IT.

Like….ASDFGHJKL the audacity is beyond me. How dare you show up with fake interest, attempt to trick an honest writer who is merely sharing their hard work, their blood and sweat and creative tears, into thinking you appreciate their effort. I’m so tired of deleting spam comments it’s not even funny atp.

And you don’t even have the gall to write it out yourself, you plug their story into a robot and have the robot spit out a fake reaction for you. That robot wrote my OC in the strangest, most uncomfortable style, and it’s still kinder than you are. You do not have the decency to even read what is written so that you can fake your enthusiasm properly, you cannot use your own goddamn brain when you try to swindle innocent folks online into buying into your shit.

You got a little art business? Good for you. Leave me alone. I am no longer interested in talking with anybody reaching out to me on AO3. I do not want your instagram or discord. I have so many of these comments and it’s like a knife to the heart.

Aside from my beta reader friend, I don’t have a single real comment. And you know what? I would rather take zero hits or comments than these jokes.

The worst part is I got so happy looking at the size of that comment when I opened my phone this morning. I was thinking finally, maybe somebody liked it. Maybe my story matters to someone else too.
