Help needed regarding AO3 collections, the FAQ didn’t help me (bad at reading currently)
I heard that if someone adds your fic to their collection, and they then put the collection on private, then your fic will not be visible to other people anymore
I need to know if that’s true?
Please note adding a work to an unrevealed collection means your work will be hidden until the collection is revealed, and will display across AO3 with the title “Mystery Work”, and the byline “This is part of an ongoing challenge and will be revealed soon!”
A lot of authors will turn off the permissions for “automatically allow my work to be added to a collection” to prevent this!
<3 Mod Remi
Is there a way to let an author know their work is no longer visible? I know I would like to receive some sort of notification if a piece I wrote suddenly didn’t show up anymore
Also there’s one in my bookmarks like this and now it makes sense, and I wonder if the author knows
An author gets a notification (via the email associated with their AO3 account) if their work is in a collection that becomes unrevealed! So they can decide to remove their work from that collection if they choose.
So this made me go Hmmm…??? and uh, sorry, i should have checked with a less active collection but it’s the first one i thought of ^_^;;;
For every Fratt Week, the AO3 collection is set to unrevealed about a month before the start of the event. It means that new works can be added by participants as they’re ready to post, and the NEW works are unrevealed.
However, the already-posted works remain visible.
Some of my own works are in there, and i never got an email nor has anyone ever told me they received such an email about a previously posted work.
There are usually new emails sent to people who are subscribed to works/authors telling them there’s a new work posted when i unreveal (sorry! sorry!)… about the previously posted works. (i am shaving my eyebrows and covering my head with ash as i’m typing this)
FRATT WEEK 7 was FANTASTIC - thanks to all the participants !
Some are new to FW, some are regulars, and all delivered !!
You can scroll down this tag, check the dedicated AO3 collection which has many (but not all) fanworks, browse by theme:
For FW7, the prompts were Blood, Bar, Trust, Spirit, Pray/Prayer, Bag, Free Prompt. You can also do a fic-only, or art-only search for FW7! We had some graphics and crafts as well :D

Red’s hands were firm in their hold of his face, a fact Frank didn’t really process until Red clamped his palms down, forcing their mouths apart by a few inches. Frank ran his tongue along his own lip, more out of breath now than he had been at the scene of his massacre, and waited for the yelling to continue. Waited for Red to deck him square in the jaw - he wouldn’t stop him if he tried. He waited for a judgment that didn’t come.
“Who’d you think was in the bag?” Red asked, the words spoken almost directly into Frank’s mouth.
Fratt Week 2024
Day 1 - Blood
Word Count: 2089. Canon-Typical Violence, Blood, Not quite actually Fratt yet, More Frank just making some observations.Frank, for all his flaws, was 100% human. There was no mutation, no alien DNA or secret government experiment gone wrong. Just normal government black ops shit that went sideways and a stupid jarhead they’d tried to make a patsy. Just a human man with a short fuse and the memory of his daughter’s limp weight in his hands and nothing left to lose.
Red was a different story.Day 2 - Bar
Word Count: 3174. As sexual as you can possibly get while everyone is still clothed and pretending it’s not sexual.Red’s tongue rolled out the tiniest bit to push against his bottom lip before he pulled it back in, and Frank didn’t know if he’d pushed his boot forward or if Red had slid his knees further apart, but either way they were now just slightly touching and Red said - “You think about me on my knees and begging a lot, Frank?”
Day 3 - Trust
Word Count: 4182. Maggie Grace.Frank narrowed his eyes as Red approached. “Can I ask you something?”
Red hesitated, but there was no surprise. He knew the question was coming. His nod was almost imperceivable, but Frank would have continued without it anyway.
“How long have you been sleeping with a nun?”Day 4 - Spirit
Word Count: 6041. Frank Castle & Leo Lieberman, Leo Lieberman & Matt Murdock, Leo Lieberman, Halloween.Leo’s got a Halloween party to attend, but she’s not really happy with the mask she made for her costume.
Luckily, Frank knows a guy who’s willing to trade.Day 5 - Pray
Word Count: 3857. Accidental Drug Use, rambling internal monologues about sexual situations.Frank might be drugged halfway out of his mind, but he can still recognize the basics of the prayer Red keeps saying.
He’s pretty sure he’s not dying. A little stupid maybe, but not anywhere near death.
Doesn’t really make sense then, why Red keeps saying a prayer for strength.Day 6 - Bag
Word Count: 11161. Rated E. Canon typical violence and gore and death by shotgun to the face, Non-Penetrative Sex, Dirty Talk, Clothed Sex, over stimulation, Hand Jobs, ignoring our feelings like men while we get off in an abandoned building.Red’s hands were firm in their hold of his face, a fact Frank didn’t really process until Red clamped his palms down, forcing their mouths apart by a few inches.

WOOO and I’m done! Only, what, three and half weeks after Fratt Week officially ended? It’s Fratt month now, whatever. There is technically a day 7 prompt, which was a free day, but since I have gone so far past the deadline I think it’s time to call it. But a huge thank you to the moderators of Fratt Week for putting this together and giving me an excuse to write for the first time in a while, and for not saying anything as I just keep posting past the end date. Also another huge thank you to everyone who has left comments or kudos on all of these fics. You’re all so beautiful and I love you and you make me want to write more, so thank you thank you thank you.
I still feel this series was a little rough, but I’ve been out of practice and over all I’m pretty happy with it! If you have found any mistakes or think of any tags I should add, feel free to let me know.

All in all, Frank’s injuries weren’t that bad. Just a few cuts and scrapes, nothing he couldn’t handle on his own.
Nothing he couldn’t usually handle on his own, at least.
If it hadn’t been for the goddamn cloud of powder that had kicked up in his face right after the last moron went down.
He’d been worried for a moment that it had been poison, probably not Anthrax but something like it anyway. Or maybe cocaine and he was about to feel fucking alive for a little while. In the end it had been neither. Some sort of party drug, the kind people used on themselves to have a little better of a time, or used on each other to earn themselves a spot in Frank’s scope.
Even now though, he could probably still handle the couple of stitches he needed by himself, but Red had offered. Frank had been ready to say no, to tell Red to quit his worrying, but then the world had started to go fuzzy around the edges. He’d smoked before, years ago in what felt like another life lived by someone else, but he remembered the feeling.
This was not it.
Frank’s skin felt weird and he couldn’t think of a single reason to not accept Red’s help.

Leo had this way of talking sometimes.
Her voice would drop to a whisper, low and fast in a voice that sounded almost eerily like Sarah’s when she was trying to scold one of the kids, changing the inflection on certain words to almost a hiss. Early on after Daniel’s reunion with his family, Frank had figured out it was Leo’s way of complaining. Almost like she didn’t want anyone else to hear her grievances. Like maybe after everything they’d been through, she was reluctant to rock the boat in any capacity, but also being a teenager meant she had to have complaints whether she or anyone else wanted to hear them. It was somewhere halfway between endearing and sad. As most things with the Liebermans ended up being.
It also meant that when Leo finally spoke up from the passenger seat, voice barely rising above the low hum of the radio, Frank knew she really was annoyed. “I’m going to be late.”
The party Frank was supposed to be driving her to had started at least ten minutes ago, and they were -considering traffic- roughly an hour away. In the wrong direction. In the wrong borough, actually. Frank had been wondering when she was planning on saying something.
A fluffy follow up from my Fratt one shot for Pod_Together2024! Fratt Week was the perfect excuse to expand 😍 this time from Frank’s POV 🥹 the prompt spoke so loudly!
@frattweek Day 3 - Trust
Title: Recallin’ What’s Gone From Me
Fandom: Marvel
Rated: M
Ship: Frank Castle/Matt Murdock
Warnings: None
Summary: After living together for some time, accepting each other for who they are and helping them become something better, Frank is done. He’s done being buddies that are rooming. Not just because he isn’t twenty anymore, making his back bitch about the couch. It’s because he wants them to move forward… together, together.
sorry,,, DAY 7 is late, i didn’t manage to make another decent illustratiuons.. i just wanted to used that day to show off my fucked up little project. But it’s been making ma anxious, because They’re bordering on OCs in it.
If anyone it familliar with the Candela Obscura univers, from critical role. this is it. Matt, Frank and the rest of the defenders (from the netflix adaptations) are Candela obscura members. it’s all still ongoing and a rough sketch. but it’s really dear to me.
[image ID : the first image is a colored digital reference drawing of Matt Murdock. There’s a full body of him standing up, a hand on his hip the other on his chest. He is wearing a 1920s inspired Burgundy red suit. without the jacket. With a fray shirt, and a white tie. Gold accent and jewlery. He has a thick moustache on. Next to the full body there a floating head of matt, showing off his bushed back, a an empty eye socket, the other eye is white blank. Finaly there a bust shot of him, his head looking up, he is frowning. He’s wearing a striped red suit vest. a floral red tie and a desaturated pink shirt. His hand goig out, his Rosary wrapped around it. There is a few written up details on the image. “ Matthew Michael Natchios Murdock” Natchios is crossed out. “35yo Trans man. Pansexual. Law professor and lawyer. Widower. Irish-Latino.” /.End ID]
[image ID : The second image, is a rough, unfinished uncolored reference sheet of Frank Castle. The first sketch is of a small full body of the man. showing a really square overall shaped, because of his stance and long coat. The second sketch is a Bust shot of him. intensely looking at the viewer. his hair is flowing around for movement. highlighted is a long double scar on the left side of his head. He’s swearing an open shirt, sleeves pushed up on his lebows, an undershirt and a shoulder gun holster. the last sketch is more cleaned and define and is a full body of Frank. He’s wearing a sweater, sleeves pushed up at the elbows, with a tip cut, showing lots of his chest. high waisted pants, keept up by one suspender. He’s wearing practical boot, laces undone. /.End ID]
