Alright guys. So SOMEBODY was telling me that to them, a reasonable oneshot length was up to 25,000 words. And seemed to think this was a completely reasonable take (as a note, they are a writer! this is all lighthearted:]). So, to settle this statement:

pls reblog for sample size :]

WRITE IT!!! WRITE THAT SELF INDULGENT SHIT!!!

#after my zine fic exploded in word counts I WILL #I forgot all about word count restrictions in zines sigh and I realize that I don't miss it at all #text

I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?

Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?

Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?

#I publish as intended bc like hell im going to use up more of my brain cells just to switch gears #life is hard and life is short #bad enough that I'm already on my own writing it worse if I'll have to replan everything on my own #so if this chocolate cake with strawberries on top is going to sit out there with chocolate cake with strawberries on top well #I reckon that's not my problem anymore #I said I'd bake the cake I baked the cake and that's as far as my job goes #everyone else can deal with the two cake problem on their own I'm out I'm going home

The OTW & Genocide

I truly apologize for taking so long to post this, but here's the compilation of screenshots I collected from the events that led to my departure from the OTW.

The document is not as extensive as I'd hoped to make it, due to personal issues IRL, but it's been long enough. I needed to just get this stuff out there.

click on the link and then on the big "click to help" red button. wait for the page to reload, it should read "your click has been counted" and you should see confetti

if you have time, click on the buttons for the website's other causes as well ("click to help" on the navbar)

if you want to click more than once, you can use different browsers or devices, or open incognito mode, it seems to work (at least on the client side of the website)

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false
