i strongly anyone migrating from here to ao3 give any textpost about it a quick overview because it will contain some great information. don’t be afraid to ask for help!!
HereComesDaSun22
@chipsndcookies That makes sense. As someone that primarily writes on ao3 now, I’d say the hardest thing about moving over was getting used to how the website works (publishing, bookmarks, etc). The etiquette stuff was easy, and I never really noticed an increase in how taboo stuff was, probably because I mostly read fluff
chipsndcookies
@HereComesDaSun22 a lot of wp users are unfamiliar with certain etiquettes plus the fact that ao3 allows taboo things on their site

A quick overview of what? How the switch is going?

@PiperInTheInternet …i am so sorry you had to find out this way. my suggestion is that you either look up “avidmc situation” on tumblr or check @/starry-blooms’ posts on it (also on the tumble)

it is INSTRUMENTAL that you have the right soundtrack for a longfic. not a physical book, but scrolling with non-serif text against a white background (or dark mode, if that’s your thing.)
take as much time as you need picking it. go with your gut. a personal tip of mine is to play on the conflict/plot of the fic. tone is important, but most can be tonally adjusted!!
when i read Double Take, a gameshow/dating show fic with fade-to-black and rarepairs galore, my soundtrack of choice was Peaches and Cream by 112. it’s not my usual style, but that’s sometimes necessary!!!
this occurred to me because i have You Bet Your Life from Last Life: The Musical on right now for a longfic with a premise of a “deal.” but again, tone! you could pick Deal With Destiny, or The Other Side, but i wanted something a bit… precarious.
advice over!!! happy reading :D

@HereComesDaSun22 that’s so cool!!!! and thoughtful of you to do instrumental songs XD
HereComesDaSun22
One thing I’ve started experimenting with on one fic I’m writing is including a link to a video playing the music I’ve chosen for that character along with the name and composer (I choose instrumental songs so people can’t be distracted by lyrics). While I don’t think anyone actually listens to the songs, I have so much fun looking for songs that perfectly match the mood of that chapter, especially if it’s not a very well known song so that more people can be introduced to it.
