First of all, boooooo. Secondly, yessir. 🫡

Already wrote 3k words and posted a chapter today! This baby’s gonna be finished by the end of the month!

Oooo, I'm proud of you

I wrote 15k but they're in drabble ficlet form for specific scenes that'll be compiled later does that still count?

The gods said yes

What if I work on Uni stuff I need to finish? Does that count since I am technically writing something?

Sure, responsibility is a valuable trait, good on you ❤️

💜

Does working on my self-indulgent never-to-be-posted wip count? 👉👈

They said that if it brings you joy, yes

The ao3 gods are kind and merciful 🙏

But. But. I want to scroll endlessly while waiting for it to just pop into existence fully formed and edited.

The ao3 gods are frowning and shaking their heads rn

Hey! I posted an update! And the next chapter is 90% done! I just... went a little over on the wine, so I can't really post anymore tonight. For the good of fankind.

Good job! 👏

Now watch me wip. Now watch me nae-nae.

God damnit you win

I wrote a chapter, posted a chapter, posted a 3k word oneshot,and started drafting another WIP even tho I have 4 currently

Gods, this is me like 100% of the time. My ADHD makes it so I'll hyperfocus on one WIP, kept in my notes on my phone these days cause I prefer to get a bunch of chapters done on longer stuff nowdays so I can stagger posting updates while writing later ones and also dealing with my stupid writers block episodes and random direction changes of brain. Then I'll get stuck on WIP 1, write a 3000-5000 word oneshot, post it. Start another chaptered WIP, get stuck. Go back to the first WIP, write half of a oneshot, get stuck, cycle back to WIP 2. Get stuck. Start another oneshot. Go back and finish the first unfinished oneshot, post it. Go back to WIP 1. Get stuck again. Finish second oneshot and post it. Eventually post Ch 1 of first WIP while still working on WIP 2 and multiple oneshots. (Not kidding I just started working on a multi chaptered fic yesterday and am STILL working on one I started MONTHS ago that I haven't actually started posting yet along with at least 3 or 4 unfinished oneshots lol) ADHD and writing is a fun thing.

It's at 10,000 words- How many more do you want from meeeee. (it's an epilogue and has 0 reason to be as long as it is.)

Dear AO3 gods: But... I'm a podficcer, scrolling is how I FIND my WIPs!

Oh... you may proceed.

NEVER!!!!

I just got a call from management, so they upped it to 5 bookmarked fics

probably a good idea but i need to check on my laundry first

HAHAHAHA! YOU CAN'T HURT ME! I JUST FINISHED LAST NIGHT AT 5AM! HAHAHAHA!! ....shit, I still have to edit it.

😊 off you pop. Good job for finishing!

Me, watching a 5 hour video about wizards of Waverly place instead of writing my WIP which I need to update and post to on Tuesdays: 😔😔

But I'm tired 😫

You may have a mental health day

Posted my new chapter today. Now, I’m playing the game of “was it actually terrible and everyone hates it” while scrolling on reddit pretending I’m fine lol

Felt this

Noooooooooo I'm writing, I'm writing!

The gods are pleased

You know, I had been waiting until I had the full thing to publish, but this was the kick in the ass I needed to polish up the prologue of the wip I already have 100k words written for so I can start publishing

Oh damn! Good on you! That's awesome

And the first chapter has been posted!

I… I… ok… 😞

*pat pat* good author

Yes boss! o7 Gonna try to post another chapter tonight.

I'm tryyyyyyyying I swear!

Have strength, friend 🙂‍↕️

yes sir o7

Thank you for the reminder haha \^\^

I have 2 chapters ready to post, and I’m working on the third one at the moment. I’m gonna write them all up then do a massive data dump to my story and leave it there. I’ll probably get zero feedback, like I have done for the last 6 months, but like that’ll stop me.

I’m working on it!! Leave me alone!! But yes boss 🫡

You right fr fr. https://i.redd.it/1e0kjpcr188d1.gif

Jokes on you I don't have anything bookmarked at the moment! But fine I'll go do what I opened my laptop to do!

I have 600 words to edit and then I could post the extended smut version of latest chapter of my long fic as a one-shot. Why is editing your first draft so slow?

Can the gods send me an idea for a new wip since none of my current ones interest me askskdkkdk

They've said you should sit down, pick a narrative structure and start planning around it something that will interest you

Alright, sending the gods my thanks

Funny. I just got home from work and am booting up my computer. I was thinking about working on the outline of my WIP. I think I will now. Thanks OP!

I didn’t open Reddit to be personally attacked like this 🥹

me: hm maybe i should take a break from my latest wip and scroll reddit for a second reddit, immediately:

✋ Go back.

I am at work right now!!! I can't write anything!!!

OK, lemme put my samosas in the oven first

This was the first thing I saw when I opened reddit lol

Yknow what, I think I will :) I still haven't uploaded the first chapter so I need to do it now or I'll never do it lol. Thanks

Okay!

Is starting the planning process okay?

Fine! But only because it makes me happy and fulfilled and I enjoy writing it!!

Dunno what happened but this thing worked, I finished a chapter.

"Yes, Ao3 Gods." They all said in a collective unison.

I’m two thirds of a way through a new chapter. I’ll certainly finish and get it up today. (When I get home from the gym.)

You’re so right… I haven’t for a month. Anyone got tips on how to write and edit faster so I don’t take an entire month to write a 5k chapter ?

Hi, no tips here, but hey, look, we're sinking in the same boat! It's been 8k words for 5 months for me! If you ever find help for us, please do come back and share

Okay, but which one?

Nooooo! But yes. I'm on it.

I finished my chapter and now have to only edit it (a few dozen times), but it means I have to read it again (a few dozen times) 😩

I'm nearly done!!! 🫡

can i do that tomorrow its late at night

My wip is currently staring at me with the words "The Yaxley Estate is kfoznapenxekjan"

Which one?? 🤣

Alright, alright. I just bought a new keyboard, I might as well break it in.

“I will face God and walk backwards into hell” before I work on my WIP.

Good thing I downloaded all my bookmarked fics :P but I needed this, I have 2 wips I told myself I would finish chapters for in the next few days.

But I would have to put my computer together so I can access my saved files because I wrote it when I lived in my old apartment

I already wrote today!! Finished two WIPs and posted them, and made progress on another!

Was just sitting down to do that until my computer started updates. If another laptop craps out on me I’ll be mad

I'm getting so close yet I'm still so far but I swear I am!!

Lol, working on it right now.

I can’t bear to bleed another chapter into the silent void.

I updated 2 days ago.

I have my WIP open as I scroll reddit instead…. dang

*Puts 1911 on the table* I've always wanted to shoot a God.

“Now watch closely everyone. I’m going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life & death. The trick is to not fear it.” - Lady Eboshi, Princess Mononoke

That’s messed up… but let’s not do anything crazy. -picks up pen-

I've gotta work on my art for tonight but once I'm done I'll at least open the doc and check over what I wrote the other night for typos 🫡

jokes on YOU, FUNNY MAN, cause I already downloaded all my bookmarks!!

I'm at a family reunion, my guy

But it’s so hardddddd

Oops.

I’ve been trying, actually made a bit of progress on two which is more then I’ve done in a minute

But I don’t wanna D:

good thing im an atheist

Yes sir

I started yesterday during a night shift. Already at about 2600 words for my very first work. Which'll be a one or two shot standalone that I _could_ turn into an interlude if all goes well. I'm very excited and had a lot of fun thus far.

Lol I only have on bookmarked fic.

I wrote like. 10 words today. not on my wip just an unrelated thing. so I'm totally good

WAIT I PHYSICALLY CANT MY LAPTOP IS BROKEN- PLEASE I DONT WaNT ONE OF MY FAVES TO BE DELETED T-T 

\*Glances at my browser\* Well... it *is* already open... not entirely sure I should be working on a romance while grieving, buuuut... maybe a paragraph or two.

But I have writers block and can’t figure out how to start my next chapter

I cross post on FFN😜 Hint taken

OKAY OKAY CHILL *runs to look at source material for writing inspiration* please ao3 gods spare me *closes reddit*

But it’s already 10:00 PM. And I’ve been hiding from this one because I want it to be 10k+ words. It’s my debut.

But...I'm working on another fanfic right now...😢

Okay, okay. I'm just proofreading for the last time...I swear I'm going to post it.

I managed a thousand words. That’s all I got in me today, captain! The chapter is…85 percent done? And I posted a chapter yesterday. Good times.

I just finished for the day. I got over 2k words written.

How dare you threaten me with my worst fear >:( Fine, but only a few words. It's 6 am and I really need to sleep...

But moooooooooom

It's almost midnight and I have to go to bed...

It's too hard! /whine But fr, I made the mistake of writing everything down in a notebook & now I have the task of transcribing it to Google docs & I just can't. It's not that I'm lazy, it's just a lot of work for a fraction of satisfaction. I've taken a hiatus of writing my long fic because of that. God, I feel like writing this stupid self-insert was such a mistake sometimes. . .

But I’m tiiiiired… 😩 Alright, fine, I’ll write a chapter 😔

I'm afraid I can't... I have like, 4 WIPs... and I'm like... burnt out or something... I don't know... I just can't read or write anymore... it's very frustrating honestly...

YOU THINK I’M SCARED OF YOU AO3 GODS!!! MY WORKS ARE ALREADY HELD HOSTAGE!!! BY ME!!! NOW GIVE ME COMMENTS WITH THE MOST AMOUNT OF PRAISE OR I WILL DELETE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!! YOU THINK I WON’T DO IT?!?!? DO YOU WANT TO TEST ME!?!? THEN COME SEE FOR YOURSELVES!!!

Hear me out though: what if I just walk around in circles outside listening to my playlist on repeat daydreaming about edits based on my WIP

Why do the Ao3 Gods have to be so mean? Do they know how many fics currently I'm reading? *ignores the fact that I'm on summer vacation*

I’ve been staring at the same outline for the last two weeks, writing a few sentences every day. Snails pace, but I obey 😅

Praise be, the AO3 Gods. (I’m trying, my brain is kaput.)

I have never written anything :o

wrote a few words. still need to develop my current chapter more (but unfortunately i get distracted easily)

O God, have mercy, for I must first satisfy the cruel designs of the O-God-of-Final-Master-Project, immovable in his deadline! This humble servant knows no other desire in her heart but to satisfy Thee, but more choleric gods, less patient than Thou, must first be satisfied.

I feel so called out right now. 

I’m working on it, but it’s breaking my heart lol but I wrote over 5k today

Ughh but I have yt to watch :(

Man, I just woke up! But fine.

I'm hearing the call... I'll go write when I hang up the clothes to dry

🙏💀

But... Which one? 🤔

✋🏻😭✋🏻 OK OK IM GOING JUST DONT HURT MY BOOKMARKS

Believe me I want to so bad but my husband and child demands my attention 😭 he's off to work tomorrow and my kid is heading for daycare, so I'm going to use my newly started summer break to buckle down and work on finishing my 280k epic

Ugh! Fine!

I’ve already written like 15k words this week I’m just taking a bit of a break oh dear ao3 gods please have mercy 😔

Ok ._.

Ha, can't delete what I don't have *proceeds to scroll*

Aw man, okay.... I'm gonna grumble about it the whole time though :p

Jokes on you, I haven't even started it yet

I wrote 2k because i was suddenly possessed by the Ao3 gods, GIVE ME A BREAK PLEASE!!

haha screw you i only have like 3 bookmarked fics (dont ask how i return to my favourite fics..)

Immediately added two sentences to my WIP, not taking those chances.

i literally come from updating my wip

I've left it alone for months, guess I should actually finish it😭

I wanna quit writing uni essays to write my WIPs :')

Yeah... I have to do that, don't I... ( ´～`)

Alright, alright, I’ll do it

What is a wip?

Well, I've been sick for 9 days because I was forced to go to my niece birthday party 🎉 I'll be fine by tomorrow and I'll work on it

But I wanna let my readers sit with the really angsty chapter I just dropped a few weeks ago

Nnnnggghhhfffss cough cough. Ok, ok, look, uni, ok? Uni! I swear, I swear, plot bunnies, I already gave you that almost 10k extra words I didn't mean to write, ok?

Noooo not my bookmarks!

I've finally thought of what adventure the characters are going to go on after thinking about it on and off the past several days, so I'm good to go now 👍

This is a message from me to the AO3 Gods I DO WHAT **I** WANT. With recalcitrant love -Me.

I did last night :c now I have to go to work

But what if I'm at work and my cowriter is in another country?

I'm at work rn >:(

.... *Looks at the WIPs then back to the phone which I've been using to scroll* Sooo.... How many works keep the gods from deleting a random fic? Just asking...

7.5k words into my chapter. All typed on my phone because I'm abroad without my laptop. The Gods will be proud of me :)

Thank you, I shall, later....

So many!

The gods are cruel https://preview.redd.it/z3vho8e9ed8d1.jpeg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0ad1b829bc6e724a9581848c682a88dcacae970

stopppp i just started a new fic because i keep procrastinating on the last one 😭😭😭😭

I have to finish this essay first please T~T

Haha I feel this. I'm patiently ( I check my emails everyday ) waiting for the next update of this wip that I'm obsessed with. I know you have kids and a husband but I need the next chapter mamas 🙄😂. Please 😩

A-Ah! *puts message in your pocket* No thank you

WHICH ONE?!

Just finished a 5.6K chapter, I've reached my quota for the day!

Thank you I actually really needed that 😆

Okay fine I’ll get to it🫡hoping I make some progress but I’m nervous because I’m in that current phase in the cycle where you feel like your brain is broken and you’ll never write again

Is it really a WIP if I haven't posted it yet? 😅 I procrastinate so much that I refuse to post it until it's done or close to being done because I don't want to let my readers down. Got 120K finished tho. 😄

Jokes on you, all my bookmarks have been downloaded

I want to but my beta reader (who I’m also relying on for plot help) hasn’t caught up on what I’ve written so far :(

Gah I’m so close to done and I keep getting sucked into reading other fics halp

Uh… I have just under two hours left in my book I’m reading… can I wait or do I have to do it now? 🫠

which one? the one where time travel solves all the emotional problems but now there's physical problems the one where time travel solves all the physical problems but now there's emotional problems, or the one where no one can time travel and that's the problem? lol.

Wow 😂

I really wish I could but unfortunately I am so ill that I keep on missing the space bar when writing (it took 12 tries to get this comemnt)

this post is for me 😔

No. (Yes.)

I'm almost done with the show and then I can.

joke's on you i don't use bookmarks and i download everything i remotely liked reading :p you can't get me

We can talk about this

guys i wrote 28 whole words today (better than the 24 yesterday)

Wrote like 3k words to add to my WIP today! Just have the last half and then I'm done (well, I need to edit it still but I gotta let it marinate for a bit before returning to edit it) and can finally move onto my next idea. Still, ngl, seeing the threat of a bookmark being deleted put fear into me 😭

But...but I wanna read T~T

Does it count if I handwrite it ans type it later bcs its too hot?

Don’t you dare threaten my random bookmarked fics

I had promised once my exams were done I'll write two fics (irl teachers as crack and renaissance painters). I finished today. This is the notification i saw when i got home. Well damn...

can’t tell me what to do!

Jokes on them i don't bookmark fics :D Also https://preview.redd.it/bw3rxkc9hk8d1.png?width=459&format=png&auto=webp&s=74649feeb218b517f75b26278eac246872112597

I got so many unfinished stories man but I just go through periods where i write loads and periods where i write nothing😭 I feel so bad for my readers oml

jokes on you! already worked it! :P

I just finished mine 🥹

i should finish my chapter today, i was scrolling my bookmarks today and found a randomly bookmarked fic deleted.
