I feel like I’m exposing myself a little bit with this bc my introduction to fic is soo random I think, but whatever your answer please tell me the story! I wanna know haha

The fact that quizilla is not an option here makes me feel ELDERLY

I remember when there was a character limit on quiz-fics questions and we accepted the answers to them didn’t MATTER

cesperanza

Uh-huh...it's quizilla that makes you feel elderly.

*looks at older fandom like she's on The Office*

went to a convention and someone mentioned reading it i mean i think i knew what it was conceptually but hadn't ever considered it still didn't read it for a long time after that

the fields in AO3 bookmark creation, each one filled with text. Notes reads: Authors can read everything you type here. Your tags reads: Authors can read everything you type here too. Add to collections reads: Yep! You guessed it! Here too!" Next to the Private Bookmark check box is the text "To keep your opinions to yourself? Make the bookmark private. Authors don't want to read about your dislike of plot, grammar, or rating of the fic. Thanks.ALT

Been hearing this is a problem again.

Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

Editing for clarity, since it's hit 14k notes and I'm tired of repeating myself:

No, I do not care if you think bookmarks are for readers. They're permanently attached to fic- which means authors see them. Authors, you may be shocked to learn... are also readers. So they also read fics- troll bookmark lists for good fics. They check their own bookmarks, perhaps, or stumble upon them in their search for new fic.

It is not censorship to ask for respect. Or kindness. Leave your notes, leave your chapter count, leave your additional tags and thoughts, that's all fine. But you can do that without being mean. Because fandom is a gift we give to each other, shared freely. Treat it with kindness.

if they rebooted austin powers it would either be the most tone deaf unfunny incredibly offensive movie in years OR they'd do it right and really keep with the times in being very self aware and it would be one of the best films in decades. austin powers would be a massive support of trans rights because trans women means more women for him to shag

lizardsister

oh your pronouns are she/they? well baby lemme she/them titties shagadelic

austin powers discovers bisexuality and it blows his fucking mind

lizardsister

sub plots of the movie include him learning who he thought was a woman he previously had relations with is a trans man now and powers teaching him the ways of picking up women & powers learning he has a daughter from one of his many escapades who's accidentally followed in his footsteps to also become a spy. the two have to team up and powers struggles being a father after being absent for so long, but eventually it's revealed his daughter is a lesbian and they bond over their mutual love of shagging women

the only joke made in regards to the trans man's gender is powers going "you're a man now? now that's groovy, honey! sorry, is it still okay to call you honey?"

lizardsister

the trans man is revealed from powers learning about bisexuality and lamenting that he could've also been shagging men this entire time, only for the trans man to be like "well...."

instead of the usual awful transphobic joke of being disgusted powers is instead ecstatic that he's already had relations with another man and that the pressure is already off for future encounters

lizardsister

there's a mid credits scene of him celebrating his first planned encounter with a man and him making a comment about how he's finally been with "both" genders, where he's then informed of non-binary people existing and how there's a whole world of genders for him to explore and it freeze frames on his shocked but absolutely delighted face
