Finally getting around to making a new pinned post to keep track of what I'm up to ^_^
Ao3 / Bluesky / Wordpress / Youtube
little shamwows big mistakes is my tag for my silly face/non reblogs.
FANDOMS
Fixated on The Vampire Diaries at the moment. No idea how long it's going to last but I'm having a wonderful time. #tvd is my tag for the shitposts I'm making even though the series has been off the air for over a decade.
I eternally adore Sherlock Holmes (Elementary is my favorite adaptation). I always return to Teen Wolf and Buffy. Still pretty into Dune esp with the third DV movie on the way. MCU is mostly out of my system but I will forever love Natasha and Bucky, Steve and Sam, and the Trash Party 💜 🗑️
CURRENT PROJECTS
In the web that is my own (I begin again) - Delena fic, I post occasional behind-the-scenes commentary with the tag #my fic bts
I have a Slow Horses WIP and a Dune WIP on the backburner as well.
One glorious day I will finish that Hunger Games crossover fic but.... not soon. I am sorry.
OTHER PROJECTS
The Harrys - several Harry Styles impersonators in a locked room
My Immortal as a semi-improvised drinking game
Shit My Sherlock Does (Youtube & Tumblr) - femme Sherlock
A Long Winter Podfic

And my worst problem was laughter. I would go into fits of laughter and I couldn’t stop. Anything could set me off. The sheer madness of my own position might set me off.
This can still happen to me fairly easily. No loss, no pain, no deepening understanding of my predicament changes it. Something strikes me as funny. I begin to laugh and I can’t stop.
Know only this, mon cher: you are the only being I trust, and whom I love, above and beyond myself. All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper. A veil will now forever separate our union, but it is a thin veil. And I'm always on the other side, face pressed up against your longing.

With the recent rumblings about censorship and work deletions on Wattpad, many users are considering posting to AO3 for the first time. If that describes you, you may have questions.
This post is a collection of resources you can use to start finding the answers to these questions. If you don’t find what you’re looking for at the links below or you have something more specific to ask, please feel welcome to post questions in the reblogs and comments here.
If you’re an AO3 pro answering questions in these notes, be kind. We were all new once, and other fans helped us then. It’s time to pay it forward.
Resources (under the cut)
How does AO3 work? What is and isn’t allowed?
My first recommendation for new users is always to skim the Terms of Service FAQ. It explains what AO3 allows and why in plain, straightforward terms. AO3 does not allow placeholder works, commercial content such as commissions links, or “work search” posts.
How can I change the look of the site?
The appearance of AO3 is very customizable! If you just want a basic dark mode, scroll down to the bottom of any page and click “Reversi” under the Customize menu. For more advanced customizations, I can’t recommend @ao3commentoftheday enough. They have so many gorgeous tutorials for everything from site skins to making the site’s content filters do whatever you want.
Wattpad users may especially appreciate the Floating Comment Box extension, which makes commenting on AO3 work slightly more like Wattpad.
How does AO3 search work?
This handy guide by @backofthebookshelf covers the basics. Here is a cheatsheet with more advanced searching tricks.
I’m ready to post my own works. How do I add [specific thing]?
With a little bit of HTML, you can do some incredibly neat things in an AO3 work. Here’s the website running Doom. Here is a very comprehensive guide to Limited HTML on AO3. It may look intimidating at first, but you can get a lot done by copying and pasting and paying attention to the results. As a fun bonus, check out the rest of the series, which includes step by step instructions for making your fic look like text messages on a phone screen, newspaper articles, sticky notes, and more.
Why is Wattpad doing this now? Have similar things happened before?
Fandom creatives have been outrunning purges and legal threats for a long time. Here is a comprehensive timeline of fandom purges and legal actions taken against fanworks, from 1977 to the present day. Here is another timeline written by @olderthannetfic, with associated commentary from other fans.
Purges on LiveJournal and other sites circa 2007 influenced the founding of AO3. You can read in detail about the circumstances of its founding and the construction of the policies it abides by today here.
If you read this far, I’m proud of you. Migrating to a new site is always hard, and there’s so much grief when archives purge content without warning. Welcome to AO3. We’re glad to have you. 🤝
It's not the first site to turn on fandom, and it won't be the last.
At least AO3 makes it easy to find things, no matter how old or obscure.
Check out the fandom index by media type and try going directly to your fandom's tag or a ship or another tag and using the sidebar filters. AO3 does have a search box and even an advanced search, but those are less of a default compared to Wattpad and other sites.
