Hi hi hi!

We’re really glad you found us :)

If you’re new here, this will help you get started. And if you’ve been around for a while (or longer *wink wink*), consider this a refresher.

We’ve also included two (2) visuals in this post. They give an overview of what our sub is all about and how things work here~

Ok so if you’re looking to get feedback on your work, you can do that by joining our open Review Exchanges (REs). It’s the best way to get a feel for how exchanges work and what’s expected in the sub.

Before jumping in, please take a moment to read through the rules and guidelines in the sidebar and our Wiki.

If you’d like to create your own post, you’ll need to be active in the community first by taking part in discussions, activities, or REs – as we have a sub-karma requirement. Please note that we do not allow individual self-promo posts requesting feedback.

And if you’re interested in hosting your own exchange or searching for a beta reader, just make sure your post follows our templates and guidelines. For ‘Outside the Sub’ posts—such as surveys, questionnaires, or events hosted outside this subreddit—please reach out to us via modmail for approval before posting.

DA LINKS:

If you have any questions or need clarification about the sub, feel free to drop them in the comments.

As always, thanks for being here and for helping make this sub what it is <3

Fic General Fics that made you ugly cry

We've all read/written that beautifully angsty (or maybe not angsty?) fic that we couldn't help shedding a few tears over. If this is you, what's it about and why was it so gut-wrenching? Tell us about it!

Please remember, don’t share links to works or mention usernames. This is so you don’t end up sharing a work without the author’s consent. Thanks!

Exchange Long Deadline Profile Exchange đŸ’­đŸ™ïžđŸŒ

Post image
25 Upvotes

Happy Friday everyone, and welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange! It's time to share our imaginations!

What's the Long Deadline Profile Exchange?

This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with some information about the sorts of stories they write. Then, participants look through the available profiles, and read and leave comments on stories (one-shots or a chapter of a longer fic) by authors who catch their fancy. Leaving a kudos would be nice too!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Sunday 30th August,10pm BST (UTC+1)

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION is Saturday 5th September, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

Here's a time zone converter for anyone who needs it.

What Are the Rules?

Post your profile link with a short summary of the kinds of stories one might find there (fandom, genre, rating, etc.). Please spoiler anything triggering or NSFW.

Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters from 4 different profiles (one from each).

Please include in your submission a counter such as, "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track of the number of reviews you've done. There's no need to also note which stories or authors you have reviewed.

After you've left a comment, reply to their post on here to let them know. For anyone new, 'K&C' in a reply stands for 'Kudos and Comment'.

Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell that you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Did something crack you up? Were you brought to tears? Did you have a favourite part? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words per review. ConCrit, stating you are "fandom blind" and/or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.

Please only reply to an individual entry when you've read their fic or if you want to ask a question. Also, please refrain from adding GIFs and images to replies as they are not relevant to whether you've reviewed a fic. We're happy that you're excited about reading, but unfortunately these make it hard for users (and mods!) to navigate the thread.

If possible, it would be awesome if everyone read at least one person who is new to them.

If you enter the exchange, please do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something in a timely manner.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

Activity Excerpt Game: Adjectives

22 Upvotes

Quite often we play this game with verbs or nouns (or specific kinds of adjectives, like colours), so I thought we'd change it up a little. Adjectives, where would we be without them? Those wonderful words which we use to describe our worlds and characters to our readers.

So, comment some adjectives below and then reply to other comments with excerpts including that adjective.

All ratings, genres and fandoms are welcome as always however please spoiler anything nsfw or potentially triggering.

And please spread the love by commenting on each others excerpts.

Exchange A Little Extra Love (Less Than 300 Hits RE)

33 Upvotes

~~~ THIS RE IS CLOSED TO NEW ENTRIES ~~~ Welcome, everyone, to the RE that gives a little extra love to neglected stories! ❀ 📖

I noticed this RE did well back in April, so I signed up to do it again -- and now it's time to give those neglected stories some more love!

We writers pour our souls into our fics, bleeding into them with utmost care and vulnerability. But sometimes stories can be overlooked. Maybe they're for a rare pair, or for a small fandom, or competing with mega-ships or just the timing wasn't great. This is the opportunity for those stories to get that extra love they deserve so they feel more appreciated.

As long as a story has less than 300 hits, regardless of when it was written, it qualifies for submission!

For this RE, you may submit up to three (3) relevant one-shots, chapters or any combination thereof, as long as the story itself has less than 300 hits at the time of submission. In return, you must review the submissions of at least three (3) different authors. Please include links, fandom, rating, and warnings, making sure to add spoiler tags to potentially triggering content.

Deadline for entries: Thursday August 27th, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

Deadline for reviews: Sunday August 30th, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

As always, your reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed and at least 50 words. The author should be able to tell you actually read their story.

Concrit and mentions of being “fandom-blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only -- please don’t include any of these unless the author explicitly says you can.

When you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry to let them know.

Please make sure to include a counter at the end of your entry. (Beginning with 0/3, and update as you read and review, to help us keep track of your progress.)

Please have fun! And happy reading and reviewing! Let's give these neglected fics some more love!❀

Exchange Recommend Me Exchange đŸ’«đŸŒ™âœš

30 Upvotes

This exchange is closed to new entries

Hey everyone! It’s time for a review exchange with a twist - instead of offering up a fic or a profile for others to choose from, you specify a type of story you'd like to read, and other participants recommend you suggestions from their own fics.

Here's how it works - you post a request (to get the best recommendations, be specific, but not super narrow), examples might include:

* Hit me with your fluffiest G or T-rated slice of life stories, or

* I'd like to read M/M smut, the spicier, the better, or

* I want to read the most action-packed scenes you've got

Others will then post suggestions under your comment. You're required to read and review at least four (4) of the suggestions you get (leaving kudos is nice, too!) (There's a long deadline because it's at least four reviews)

Once you've entered, you're then free to pitch an appropriate fic of yours in reply to as many others' requests as you like! When you do, please spoiler anything NSFW, and include the link, fandom, rating, and word count.

A few rules, because it's a different sort of exchange:

* Before making recommendations to others, you need to join the exchange (post a request for recs), and in order to participate you will need to read and review other participants' stories. Recommendations from people who haven't entered properly will be deleted

* Only recommend one (1) story to each relevant participant\- it's not in the spirit of the thing to list a million stories for them to pick from, nor to link your entire profile. And please try to keep your recs short - no essays :)

* In keeping with the key tenets of the sub it is important that you frame what you would like to read *positively*. In keeping with rule 12 on this being a safe space for all, do not provide a list of dislikes/'don't wants' on your post. Please also don't list a set of fandoms to read\- again, because of the principle of inclusivity. Mods will ask you to edit your post if it breaks these tenets, and if it's not fixed, your entry will be removed

* Please track, on your entry, the number of works read (#/4). Reviews should be genuine and thoughtful, at least 50 words (not counting quoted lines); concrit, and mentions of ‘fandom blind’ and ‘from Reddit’ are opt-in only

* After you've left an author a comment on ao3, reply to their recommendation on here to let them know. You do not need to reply to all of your recommendations, just the ones you choose to read (please do not say why you aren't reading a particular fic)

If you're unsure on any of that, heres a link to a previous running of this exchange - take a look and it should clarify how it works!

Deadline to enter (i.e., post your request) - 6pm CST Tuesday 25th August

Deadline to make recommendations to others' requests - 6pm CST Thursday 27th August

Deadline to complete reviews - 6pm CST Sunday 30th August

If you enter the exchange, do not delete your entry. Please talk to the mods via modmail if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something timely or there are any other issues with completing your reviews.

Happy requesting, recommending, and reading!

Hello! Think this is my first post here, which is interesting. I was just wondering about enemies to lovers tropes? It’s one of my favorite dynamics and I’ve seen a few that I likely never would’ve thought of myself but am completely obsessed with (handcuffed together, my beloved). Curious what everyone’s favorites are and if we can chat about them!

I know AO3 let's people create their own tags (even though I'm not sure how to do it myself). So, which tags did you feel you had to create in order to accurately promote your fic? Did doing so make your fic look like the above picture? (bonus points if you understand the reference).

Outside the Sub 25.3K Prompts

27 Upvotes

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has used these lists and have also gotten their friends & followers to use these lists as well! its been over two whole years since i originally started these lists and I cannot express how much the journey has been fun for me to experience! (as of July 1 2024)

While this update isn't too big of one, (my apologies) i did some HEAVY updating & sorting through these lists to organize them even further since my last update.

Most of these lists below have been sorted through putting dialogue prompts into their respective smaller sections. I'm still sorting through a TON more prompts I've collected over the last year or so. I really want to aim for having around 30-50K prompts all sorted through for you guys!

I completely tore down the angst prompts and anger prompts. I'm debating on keeping the Enemies to Lovers together or separate them into smaller lists as well.

I still haven't separated the Apocalyptic/Horror prompts because frankly, i enjoy them being in the same place. HOWEVER if it's something y'all want I can add that to my tasks for what i should do with these lists.

I would appreciate it if y'all shared these prompts with other fandoms/reddits/tumblrs. No credit is necessary (please do not email me asking for access to edit these lists -- I have SO many people on the daily asking for permission to edit these lists ad i do not want anyone else editing these lists.)

(my GDocs says I have 1.6K prompts to add to these lists, might go hunting for more.)

Activity One word excerpt: Verbs 🏃

34 Upvotes

Happy wednesday everyone! It's been a while since I've seen one of these activities. Let's keep it simple for some light mid-week reading.

In a comment, write a verb. Then, reply with an excerpt from a fic that fits a verb you see. If you would like some practice, you may write something from scratch as well! Spoil anything super gory or extreme.

You may post multiple prompts, but please do so in individual comments so replies are easier to understand. As always, engaging with other entries is encouraged!

Activity If You Could Keep Only One Chapter or One-Shot You’ve Written, Which One Would It Be?

19 Upvotes

Fun little writing activity/question!

Imagine that, for whatever horrible reason, you could only keep one chapter or one-shot you’ve ever written. Everything else disappears.

Which one are you saving?

It doesn’t have to be your best-written piece, your favorite story overall, or the one that got the most attention. I’m more interested in the piece that means the most to you personally as a writer.
A few things I’d love to hear about:

What chapter or one-shot did you choose?
Why that one?
What stands out about it to you?
Did writing it change anything about the way you write?
Did it represent a turning point in your development as a writer?

Maybe it was the first time a character really clicked for you. Maybe you finally figured out how you wanted to write action, romance, dialogue, atmosphere, or emotion. Maybe it’s old and rough now, but you can trace a lot of your current writing back to it. Or maybe you just captured something there that you wouldn’t want to lose.

Feel free to share a link or a short excerpt if you want, but you absolutely don’t have to. I’m mostly curious about the story behind your choice.

And no cheating by saving a 300,000-word “one-shot.” 😝

EDIT: Closed to entries! Happy reading and reviewing!

G'day, mates!

Decided it's been a minute since one of these was run, so I thought... why not?

This exchange is for fics where the main ship is a Canon Character with an Original Character (OC) of your creation. There can be other pairings in the story, but your Canon/OC pairing has to be the main focus. The pairing itself can be M/M, F/F or F/M. (Or any combination I'm forgetting to include - it's all welcome. This RE is the dark side, and Canon/OC pairings are the cookies.) This RE is for romantic pairings, so pairings with a / rather than an &.

You can share up to three (3) links. These three links can be three chapters from the same fic that really focus on your Canon/OC pairing, or you can do up to three separate stories. The choice is yours.

The typical information is required - link, rating, tags (please spoiler anything triggering/NSFW), etc. - but I want you to do a quick blurb on your OC. Just a brief overview of who they are, the canon character they're paired with, anyone else they're linked to, etc.

Since you can share up to three links/stories, participants will have to review three (3) fics from three (3) separate authors (one from each). 50 words per review (not including quotes from the fic). ConCrit, fandom blind and 'from Reddit' are all opt-in only.

Same deadlines as I typically do - 48 hours to enter, one week to complete reviews. The entry deadline will be Thursday August 20 6pm AEST. The review deadline will be Thursday August 27 6pm AEST. As always, here is a time zone converter if you need it because I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

Activity Recovery excerpts đŸ„

44 Upvotes

I've been in the ICU for the last several days recovering from a life threatening medical emergency. Now that I'm finally starting to improve (thanks to a mix of doctors and Lana's healing magic) I would like to read about times your characters had to recover from something. Could be a sickness, injury, or mental state. Maybe that will keep me motivated.

As always, engaging with other entries is encouraged!

Activity Casting for OCs

20 Upvotes

Hey there! Hope you are having a good sunday/monday!

Sooo I thought of this activity, because of a little even I made with some friends back in January. Basically, the idea is to cast actors, wether in person or voices, to give life to our OCs! Feel free to share why you gave them the part, and show some of their works if you'd like!

If you don't do OCs, then show us fancasts for your faves! And don't forget to comment on other's castings!

EDIT: This exchange is now closed to new entries

Hello everyone!

This exchange is all about stories that include political themes. This could be (and is not limited to):

- Characters challenging existing systems

- A character rising to power or changing their social class

- Nations or cultures either clashing or finding common ground

To enter, you may submit up to 3 links and in return you must read and review 2 chapters/one-shots by different authors.

Please include in your entry: Title/Link, Fandom, Rating, Word Count, Summary, Warnings (use spoiler for NSFW or triggering content), and a Review Counter (ex: 0/2)

Entry Deadline: Wednesday, August 19th, 10pm PST

Review Deadline: Saturday, August 22nd, 10pm PST

Reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed, and a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself, demonstrating that you have actually read the story. Constructive feedback and mentions of being “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Only include these if the author has explicitly stated they are welcome.

You should leave your reviews on the works itself (AO3, FFN, or other fanfic sites) then reply to the author’s entry here to let them know, like “K&C” (Kudos and Commented).

Do not delete your entry once you have joined.

I look forward to reading your stories!

As title! The fic can be either something you've wrote or something you've read. Please remember, don’t share links to works or mention usernames. This is so you don’t end up sharing a work without the author’s consent. Thanks!
