BlackHeart Biohazards

blackheart-biohazards:

AO3 was created deliberately as the place for taboo fanfiction that no one else wanted to host.

It was created in significant part in response to the spontaneous deletion of adult and queer content fanfic on other archives; specifically fanfiction.net and livejoural.com.

I cannot stress this enough. Fanfiction.net and livejoural.com straight up deleted users adult and queer content without warning, backup or recourse.

AO3 was created so that authors could host queer fic, porn, and transgressive adult material without the threat of deletion.

AO3 was created as the place for shipcest and underage fic.

If you want a clean archive with no taboo material, those archives exist. AO3 was created to be their alternative.

Good morning, writers! While writing, remember to:

• Stay hydrated.
• Take bathroom breaks.
• Get up and stretch when you can.
• Eat something.
• Take any meds you need.
• Forgive yourself when the writing doesn’t come easily.
• Love your writing even when it isn’t perfect.
• Allow yourself to write what you want to write.
• Focus on writing instead of what will happen to your writing once it’s finished.
• Remember that any writing that exists is better than writing that doesn’t exist yet.

(this is related to a tag i saw on the post we just reblogged. it wasn’t negative i just have a question.)

is it like. ok. hm.

let’s say a person has really bad intrusive thoughts about certain things. is it possible that either writing or reading fiction with those things could help handle that?

i don’t really know else to phrase it. lol. i can elaborate if needed. i guess.

Since we’ve been running this blog, we have had a lot of people tell us that writing and reading fiction about things involving their intrusive thoughts is very helpful for them.
