Want to try making fan art for my fic but idk how to use Krita yet lol
Played around with the filled stroke brush it's so useful!!!
Damian looks so annoyed lol
In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

"You know you want this."
Light snorts.
"Really, L? I knew you were bad at this, but that line is so overused."
L just tightens his grip on his wrists in response.
or;
A what if drabble where the death note falls and Light isn't the one who picks it up.
This shifts his vision and opens up his eyes to how truly corrupt the system is. Seeing you can only do so much by fighting the symptoms, he vows to eliminate its roots instead.
Ft. L as the situationship neither of them ever got over.
it seems people don't understand. a GLUP SHITTO is a character in a very popular piece of media (like star wars) that if you asked a random person or even a casual fan, they wouldn't know who the fuck that is. a BLORBO is just your little guy. can be any kind of character they're just your little GUY. a POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW is a villain, usually with a sad backstory, who you are defending and woobifying. they've done WRONG. not everyone can be a poor little meow meow. just because they're pathetic doesn't mean they're a meow meow that mf had to commit CRIMES. if you want a pathetic little fucker of any moral persuasion that is a BABYGIRL. usually male, doesn't have to be. just has to be kind of fucked up. get your terminology CORRECT
Death Note examples:
Glup Shittos: Sidoh, Matt, Beyond Birthday
Poor little meow meows: Light Yagami, Misa Amane, Teru Mikami, Mello, Beyond Birthday
Blorbos: Near, L, touta Matsuda, Soichiro Yagami, Naomi Misora, Ryuk, Rem, Matt
Babygirls: Touta Matsuda, Misa Amane, Gelus
Cinnamon Rolls: Touta Matsuda, Misa without her memories, Sayu Yagami
Anyone know if there’s any dn fics where Light successfully gets L to no longer suspect him so L leaves but eventually gets suspicious enough to return and suspect him again?
@ira-sairain I’ll take any recs you got
I really liked prisoners by trash king(Vanya_deyja) when I read it a few years ago. It's completed
There's some where Light joins interpol but I don't really remember the names 😔
Oh wait it's lawlight though. Dk if you mind the ship or not.
Can I shamelessly recommend my story "In their blood"?
It's somewhat about L leaving Light and then coming back, I just haven't gotten to writing that part yet 😔
-by yours truly
*prepares a convincing speech on why you should read my lawlight fic*
*stand with my notes in front of a carefully designed PowerPoint*
*the computer crashes*
*my notes scatter*
*I leave the stage in dejected but expected shame*
Anyways here's my lawlight fic:
It's another one of those stories where Light joins politics, set as a canon divergence by one small act that deviates his career path when he realizes how much more he can do being a politician (and a legislator, for now) instead of a cop.
Not that serious of a fic, It won't be too political, only the basics.
It's not really good but it would mean the world to me if you commented what you thought about it and how I could improve. Criticism very welcome!!!
not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.
Hii. I'm currently writing some svsss ff's and I want to do luo binghe's trauma and just how bad shen Jiu treated him justice. I feel like it gets brushed off by fans sometimes, but I really don't want to diminish the gravity of shen jius actions and the very real repercussions they had on luo binghe and the other kids he bullied out of the peak.
So if you guys have any ideas or just any tools on how to properly write abuse and trauma I'd appreciate it :)
Selfish self plug-in 👉👈
In which Marinette as a superhero is basically retired, her only task keeping the miraculous safe and the world at balance.
To help preserve balance tilted in the *right* direction, of course, she isn't averse to lending her hand from time to time in the form of a magically reenforced suit.
If said suit also happens to be stylish and get rid of the god forbid UNDERWEAR OVER LEOTARDS trend then no one really mentions it because all are in agreement that that was really for the best.

Hope you like it:))))))
