Wanderlust: The Musical is crowdfunding now! You can get early access to the show when it comes out for only $10, and a script and printable bookmarks for $25! You can even get custom stickers for $50 👀

AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 (what time is that for me?) while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series, including:

• adding the ability to search, filter, and sort bookmarks by word count
• making sure bookmark search results are correct when you use tags containing letters and numbers
• preventing series blurbs from listing tags that were only used on draft works
• preventing series blurbs from listing tags used on restricted works for guests
• updating series bookmark search so it only searches the tags on works you can access

Please follow our status page for updates.

i hate what podcast has become synonymous with because please i’m not listening to alpha male gym bros deny climate change i’m listening to my gay blorbos go through the horrors there’s a big difference

writer’s block (dry) = no desire to write, no ability to write (bearable)

writer’s block (wet) = HUGE desire to write, no ability to write (very evil)

The various antagonists from Hello from the Hallowoods are so funny to me. What if Miss Piggy did magic cocaine. What if Michelle Duggar was a southern Baptist from the Florida panhandle. What if a geriatric band director thought he was Billy Graham but was actually closer to being a cross between William Afton and Leland Palmer. What if Hogwarts was woke but evil. What if your emotionally abusive boyfriend was assassinated by the cia and also was god. What if 100% of this random guy who’s also a terrorist’s problems were all because he was a racist cop and now he’s absolutely doomed but could have avoided it entirely if he wasn’t a racist cop. What if Walt Disney was a tech bro.
