We all know this site is US-user heavy, but I wanna know how many are vs aren't from the land of capitalism.
I feel like there’s needs to be, like, handbook for authors who post on Ao3 for effective metatext.
By metatext I mean like tagging, summary, and authors notes (especially initial authors notes at the beginning of a fic). The means by which we communicate to our readers what they’re getting into.
Because we kind of all have to learn it by osmosis and there are conventions but nobody’s really taught them at the start, so there’s inconsistencies and misunderstandings or people just not knowing things through no fault of their own.
This ends up breeding frustration and confusion and in the worst cases resentment, hurt, and aggression.
I’m severely tempted to make such a handbook and get it circulating.
I think it would do fandom a lot of good.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator
Pregnancy runs in my family. Over half of my ancestors had it at some point.
Ever seen a psychotic friend having a bad time, but didn't reach out cause you didn't know how to help? Here's a basic guide for you!
Psychotics (especially schizophrenics <3!!) out there, if you disagree with this or have more to add feel free to add on in the reblogs!!
I read not so long ago @clonewarslover55 's writing about Irmenu (link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29337705) and I got an idea. What if there were merfolk/siren-like species, who were indigenous to Irmenu but now their numbers have gone lower.
And what if Walon Vau's mother was one of this species, and fell in love with his father, but when she realized how fucked up his father was it was already too late. She got separated from her community, and they feared the church would find their tribe.
Basically, Walon Vau mermaid au and he helps overthrow the government
And the pirates sometimes help the merfolk/siren out, because fuck the church.
I have planned out many things (the merfolk/siren aren't actually called that, just I have info dumped many things in this post, but I will reread all the notes I made and post them). And I have ideas for the story
And read @clonewarslover55 's stuff. She writes great things!!
