maybe this is a hot take but i genuinely don’t understand why so many people want an AO3 app? the site already has dark mode, there’s browser options for organizing fics you’re reading, and having an app would mean restricting a LOT of the content to comply with app store policy
This is a periodic friendly reminder that AO3 does not have an app and is always free to use!
If you run into issues with an unofficial app, our Support team unfortunately cannot help -- please contact the app's creator or support team instead.
a huge round of applause to all the AO3 volunteers doing everything they can to combat the DDoS attack👏👏👏
for now guys stay off of AO3 while they try and take care of this! it'll help lighten the load off of the site🙏 thank goodness i downloaded a bunch of fics last week😩
Hi everyone. It breaks my heart to say that after a long fight against breast cancer, my mom passed away a few days ago surrounded by loved ones. She fought until the very end.
ok seriously, don’t do this though! amazing fics are being written every day and you’ll miss out! you can always filter by kudos or bookmarks for a starting point, but remember that the quality of a fic doesn’t equate to quantity of hits/kudos/etc. it ain’t a numbers game.
people will razz you for reading omegaverse and then go and read some y/n vampire fic featuring their favorite celebrity i hate to break it to you my dear but in the eyes of the world we’re all in the same trash can together
pick a fic with a summary you vibe with, read a few paragraphs, and if you don’t gel then pick another. plus a “good fanfic” is entirely up to the reader’s tastes! yeah there’s good rules of thumb for writing obviously. but it’s fanfic, it’s self indulgent, so read what you want!
MY BROTHER SHOWED HIS COWORKER MY VIDEOS AND THE FIRST THING HIS COWORKER SAYS TO ME WHEN HE COMES OVER IS “Coley tell me more about the omegaverse!” I’M GONNA CRY
having an app would mean going against why AO3 was created in the first place and i reallyyyy don’t wanna think about another fandom hub getting purged like fanfiction/./net, livejournal, and tumblr🥲 and if you really want an app that badly just use wattpad it’s a solid option!
teaching my aunt helpful tips for using AO3 after discovering she reads fanfic was not on the bingo card for how i thought yesterday’s family dinner would go
For anyone who enjoyed the videos with MamaDoesThings where we goofed off together, know that she loved reading your comments, and was always so excited seeing how much you liked hearing her commentary. You cheered her days up considerably and I am incredibly grateful for that.
In honor of my mom’s service in the healthcare industry and to aid other families affected by breast cancer, you are welcome to donate to her memorial fund here:
Absolutely no obligation; any help is appreciated. Thank you all for your love and support❤️
i am the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter in an Asian family. Alexa, play “surface pressure” from Encanto, bass-boosted please
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MY MOM USED TO READ STAR WARS FANFIC WHEN I WAS LITTLE?? SHE PRINTED OUT THE ONES SHE LIKED AND PUT THEM IN HER STAR WARS BINDER
“I’d just feel delusional when I read them cause I wanted it to be part of the real storyline :(” OH MY GOD
ATTENTION OC ARTISTS, WRITERS, AND LOVERS!! Do you have an OC you would like to share with me? I'll be reviewing your original characters for an upcoming video and would love to see what your imagination cooked up😈 Send them my way either in the comments or tag me!🥰
i asked my cousin if she’d consider me a millennial or gen z and she responded “your sense of humor is gen z but you deliver it like a millennial” and i think my third eye opened
from time to time i’ll see people speculating in comments if i’ve had any work done on my face and i can’t help but laugh cause like, my dude😆 if i had that much extra money do you really think i’d be spending it on anything but fanart and merch of my blorbos and babygirls??😭
heyyy so the last few days have been pretty rough. my mom had a sudden ER scare over the weekend she’s still recovering from, and my grandpa is in bad shape from a recent stroke. if you have any nice thoughts you’d like to share it would be greatly appreciated, thank you❤️
my grandparents don’t speak a lot of English and so when they ask my mom what i do for work she’s just like “oh she works for Google” which…i guess isn’t technically wrong??
what if, in a world where hanahaki was real, you woke up one morning and suddenly started coughing up flower petals. but that couldn't be right; you're in a loving, committed relationship after all! and that was how you found out your significant other no longer loves you🥀
me: wow, my eyes sure are tired from working at the computer all day. maybe i should rest them for a bit and take a nap
also me: *proceeds to read fanfic on my phone for the next hour
thinking about Yuri On Ice more and how awestruck i was watching the first trailer, how it became the highlight of my sophomore year of college when i was having a particularly hard time, episode 7 breaking the fandom world, crying during the finale. i am DISTRAUGHT
i was on a 6 hour flight and the 3 iPad kids in front of me were all either watching miraculous ladybug or gacha mvs with tiktok audios, playing roblox, popping those push pop toys, and singing ‘we don’t talk about bruno’ over and over. it was like a speedrun of generation alpha
my grandma has been living with me for the past month and doesn't speak a lot of english, but she's always encouraging me to eat and likes watching me cook and my heart melts every time she's like "eat eat i love youuuu"🥹😭
my grandfather passed away recently, and it’s still hard realizing that he’s really gone. he was the only grandfather i ever knew and helped raise me. my Vietnamese is limited and so was his English, but i’ll always remember his cooking and stories🍜
HELLO I'M ALIVE sorry for being away for a hot sec💖!! also it's AO3's 16th anniversary today, so in celebration feel free to leave some of your favorite fics you're currently reading or recently finished down below🥳
