a guide to dnfao3tags!

hello there :] i'm kay, the admin of this blog. i've been running this blog from april 29 2022 when i made my dnf starter pack post for all those new to dnf fics. since then, i've made more than 700 posts and have added many features to my blog.

here's a little guide to everything and anything dnfao3tags!

(highly recommend checking my blog out on a pc, a lot more features are easily visible that way)

new to dnf?

as mentioned above, i have a starter pack; along with that i'd like to recommend :

my personal favs

my tag navigation page so you can easily find fics according to your wishes

i also have a masterpost of a significant number of fics i've recommended on this blog, however i don't often update it so its a little useless

every month (or whenever im free), i try to make a monthly fic roundup which i post in the first week of the new month; stay tuned for that

my trope wise reclists

spotlight fic recs from my bookmarks (dnfao3tags bookmarks)

all of my fic rec posts (dnfao3tags recs) - including reclists, spotlight fic recs, fic was founds, etc

posts made by authors themselves for their own fics (author post)

fic recs made by writers themselves (author recs)

there's also a dnf ship wiki surprisingly which might be useful if you want to get familiar with them

if you're confused about any references or something, feel free to send me an ask and hopefully me or my followers can help.

'can i help you?'

absolutely! while i don't accept any more mod/admins on this blog, you can still do the following :

rec/submit a fic (self-promo encouraged)

send me a quote you liked from a fic and view some dnf fic quotes here

here are a bunch of fic not founds that unfortunately were never found. take a look and see if you recognise any!

you can also send me fics to submit in the monthly fic roundup

sometimes i can't find fics for certain tropes so i crowdsource; check if know any fics for that particular trope and send them in

send some fic ideas you have!

deleted fics

i already made a guide to how i deal with deleted fics on this blog.

my Finding Deleted Fics: A Multi-Method Guide post.

if you're an author and would like me to take down your fics then send me a dm and i'll happily do it. if you'd like, i could also only share them in dms too.

fic not found

feel free to ask about any lost fics and i'll see if me or my followers can recognize it. please please Please be as specific as possible and also mention if you think it may be deleted.

i will post your ask asking my followers if i don't recognize it and if someone helps me out, i'll reblog your ask with the found fic so just keep checking the reblogs or the tags fic was found & fic potentially found.

searching my blog

if you open my blog on pc then you'll see one search bar in the header:

and one like this below the updates box:

the google enhanced search box is more accurate so i recommend using that one ! however, it is definitely not foolproof so i also recommend using my tagnav to search for a specific post because i tag pretty much everything. you can also send me an ask.

cool features

i have a music player ! you can send in songs for me to add to it

any tips and tricks i have for ao3 will be in this how to ao3 tag

want some writing inspo? here are some fic ideas

you can also ask me for song based reqs

i also have author archives for anonymous authors (eg. mario anon), deleted authors and orphaned authors

click this for a random post of mine

more stuff

i have a twitter (though i am inactive there)

please read my about/faq page before sending asks

i have a tag for any posts that aren't specifically fic recs and just me talking (kay talks) which you can mute if you aren't interested

occasionally i get asks about dreamnotnap which i sometimes answer; you can also mute that tag along with my not dnf tag

and that's all i can currently think of!

i'm thinking of adhering to a posting schedule so i might post about that later. i'm a bit more free these days so i'll probably be a bit more quick to asks.

hope this helped you guys out; thanks for reading :]

[i-hope-this-is-a-phase]

Hello, this is gonna sound so out of place but listen. I am fucking. Crushed. Dnfao3tags is now gone, the blog is still there for now but it seems like they got caught up in the panic and have completely jumped ship. I do not know where else to put this.

I am looking, desperately, for a fic, it was so well written and it was about Dream slowly writing all of his songs (and then publishing them) about George. I remember vividly that one of the songs he writes is called Chlorine and he writes it after a dteam pool day and he gets to smell George's hair. If anyone can help me, please I am begging, I cannot find it anywhere and I'm almost out of options.

Much love to everyone in the meantime <3 <3 <3

I HAVE THIS!!!!

It’s a lovely fic I highly recommend

#here you go nonnie! #Rei asks

[rat-rosemary]

oh god, dnfao3tags and dnf-fic-recs are gonna be so busy

o7 to some of your fandom's hardest warriors I beg of you to send them flowers or a good horny fic in these trying times 😔

Okay!!!! Okay!!!! I’m sorry this is going to be a mess, but like every time my fics make a rec list I’m an inconsolable mess of /pos emotions just in general. But @/dnfao3tags’s (sorry idk if you like being tagged in things!!! Plus this is just a mess) new rec list has me so emotional because I’m on the same list as GenOfEve, who wrote i am your boy (rated explicit)—which is one of my ALL TIME favorite fics ever. As I was reading it, I just knew I would spend the rest of my life thinking about this fic. It was so wholly and completely me that it felt like someone had ripped out my soul and put it into words. And now, I’m on that list alongside them and I’m ajsdjisjd

#SORRY this really is a mess #I just wow #za.ba is my all time favorite album because of this fic #it’s been a year and a half since I read it for the first time and I still loop this album at least once a week #also the songs are just amazing on their own but within the context of the fic? man. #finn rambles #finn gets emotional again #finn is tired and just got out of an exam—sorry

Someone wrote a guide on how to find deleted fics, that might help :]

AHOOOO SLAY thanskyou anon mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mhw a mwah mwah mhwa mhwa mwah I love you MMMMMMMMWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cantofworms]

Also, I know you've already found it but if you're ever looking for a deleted work, or just a work in general, dnfao3tags is an amazing blog!

If you just want a trope they have loads that they'll happily recommend and they're a pro at finding lost works, deleted or otherwise

An absolute treat of a blog that's helped me find so many amazing fics and authors

THANK YOU ANON o7

#fic rec blogs are literally THE backbones of fandoms #I can’t think of any other fics I like that are gone but I’ll keep this in mind !!

@/dnfao3tags and @/dnf-fic-recs are both blogs on here that specifically help with finding lost dnf fics!! so if someone wants to send either or both of those blogs an ask asking about it then it might take a few days to get a response BUT they tend to either know what fics they are or they crowdsource it out to their followers and like 90% of the time an anon or someone else will find the fic!!

oh my god YEAH guys. we should go do that 👹

#asknootfound #ro recs

[literaphobe]

@ the anon who is looking for dnf one sided fic recs i’d highly recommend sending an ask to dnfao3tags or dnf-fic-recs ! they both do a great job at finding and recommending good fics for asks :D

i always feel so bad bc i wanna help u guys but also i suck at reccing bc i dont read ☹️

A Guide To Winning Back Your Boyfriend (who wasn't actually ever your boyfriend, and who only left you because he got too wrapped up in his stupid plans to fix everything) (some nuclear weapons required) by Sif (Rosae)

It happens to everyone at someone point in our lives. We have a guy whose obsessed with us, whose perfect for us in every way, who we loved and were loved by. Maybe you never put a name to it, but you both knew it was love. Then some other guy comes along and starts a country because he’s a power hungry bitch, and your perfect man gets so wrapped up in trying to restore the world to it’s former peacefulness that he leaves us behind. Alone and abandoned all in pursuit of an impossible goal.

Sure, you can always find a god wearing his face and try to move on with an imperfect impostor. Or you can sleep your days away wrapped up in depression and desperately wanting the version of him you knew to waltz through the door and make everything okay. If you’re boring as fuck then you can “move on and start seeing other people”. But let’s face it, none of that is going to make you happy. If you want your man back, then you need to take matters into your own hand. In here you’ll find a comprehensive guide to doing just that!

only you, darling by riversofgold

To put it simply, George can't quite take watching people flirt with his boyfriend.

late spring by towerofthegods - Mature

It's not that Dream is jealous -- it's just that he's been thinking about it. George, and men, and kissing. It's just that he's been wondering what it might be like: to kiss a guy, to kiss a friend, to kiss George. He's been wondering and hoping, privately, that it might be something he's allowed to do, too.

or; it's the hours between night and morning, and Dream wants to know more.

valentine (valen-mine) by moonsooms

Dream also knows, objectively, that George is attractive. This isn’t something he’s afraid to admit for a multitude of reasons, firstly being that, for any other pair of guy friends, maybe it would have been a little weird. Dream and George are not any other pair of guy friends. Dream threatens to kiss George on the mouth continuously. George threatens to hit him with his baseball bat.

Dream is completely fine with multiple people asking his best friend out during the week of Valentine's Day. He has no issue with it. None at all.

i object bitch by sunnyafterset - FWT wedding

If there’s one thing George is sure of, it’s always, always, been Dream.

“…please speak now, or forever hold your peace.”

So, heart hammering, George rises to his feet.

or, George objects at Dream's wedding, and things finally fall into place the way they were always supposed to.

purple pink skies by wazelwall

Dream's not making it easier for him, George almost wishes he would. He wishes the other would drag his hand away and move to the other corner, that he'd reject George and accelerate his heartbreak, rather than sit there and smile so prettily and talk so fondly and almost give him the ever spiteful spark of hope that he's heard of dying down more often than it bursts into a flame.

(or, George is in love with Dream, and he hates to see him sighing at someone else's lips over his neck)
