You know, the whole time I’ve been reading fanfiction I’ve basically treated it as a fact that I haven’t been reading it for that long and that I was kinda new to the scene. I was just thinking about it, and I realised I’ve been reading it since I was around 12. I’m 18 now. It’s been over half a decade. I’m not new to the scene, I’m very experienced, and I’m having an identity crisis right now.
Na bro I started reading fanfic at 8 years old, 16-21 years old now, don’t have any thoughts about stopping and @MondayHatesMe. Same but I was 10… still in my reading list with all my other… interesting ones😇
1:21 I mean the words would’ve been flipped, unless someone there knew how to read words through a mirror (very unlikely) and dedicated themselves to reading all of it (even more unlikely) I think op was safe Edit: though if someone had recognized the layout of the site…yeah no lol. But then they would’ve been essentially a partner in crime.
1:24 AS IT SHOULD BE ONGONGONG(i went down a 3-month skk hyperfixation and now am more knowledgable than ever on the good stuff) i wish ao3 had a preference to hide major character death, like i could select for any fics im scrolling through, if they have the major character death tag, to just hide the tag. i love the sad things, but if i know its going to be sad then it won't get me sobbing at midnight and like whats the point then?

Filter by the tags you're interested in, include the one you want to see, exclude the ones you don't. Personally I'd advise against filtering by kudos unless you're new to a fandom or specifically looking for the most popular fics (which aren't always necessarily good) Looking for recommendations can also be a good method, with that said...I see you have an Oikawa pfp, are you looking for haikyuu fics by any chance? I have plenty of recommendations if you're interested, albeit primarily for more popular ships such as iwaoi.
