@gothgril69 no, I totally understand. I noticed that ao3 does have more tags and content warnings. I'm kinda new to ao3; it's a little confusing for me, but I’ll get the hang of it.

@notrulyme honestly, for this specific story i want to only post it on ao3 because it's a more intense, heavy story with themes i want properly tagged and warned. ao3 allows me to make sure every content warning is plain and obvious, whereas wattpad makes that a bit more difficult.
          	  
          	  i also love the community on ao3 (i like it here too) and it also really ensures i can connect with my readers and make sure minors aren't interacting with my fics (im sure they still do). i have a feeling *a lot* of wattpad users reading my stories are under 18, and i just generally like ao3's platform more.
          	  
          	  from the author's perspective, it's a lot easier to keep track of everything and allows more freedom with formatting. 
          	  
          	  hopefully that makes sense!

I’ll check it out. Btw, I’m curious on why everyone would rather post on ao3 instead of here. I noticed a lot of authors do that.

hello!
          
          just wanted to let you guys know that i will probably be posting my fics on ao3 from now on.
          
          the fics i have in the works are more mature than my fics on here, and i feel that wattpad is not the right community for it. i'm able to properly tag with warnings about content on ao3, and as my writing continues to develop i feel more comfortable posting somewhere that allows authors to write freely. i am so so grateful for all the support i've recently been shown on here, but i don't want to sacrifice/filter my work just to fit onto this platform. my stories are not meant for minors, and i strongly discourage minors from reading my writing.
          
          with that said, i will be posting on ao3 consistently, and i also have a tumblr account (no minors, please) both under the same username. please keep in mind the ettiquette on both platforms (i've tolerated spam commenting on here, but please do not do that on ao3 or tumblr).
          
          i would love if you guys continued to support my writing endeavors on those platforms instead. thank you <3
          
          much love,
          gothgril

@Krisxack yeah! i mean honestly ao3 is great for growth, but as someone who writes mainly for themselves it's just overall a better platform

@gothgril69 I have decided that too to start writing stories to different platform and it's so hard for me to gain much followers and viewers here on Wattpad too

posting a little update here because i've been seeing some love on Peaches!
          
          Thank you so much for the reads and comments. You guys really motivate me to keep reading even if I have a small amount of followers and views on my stories <3
          
          Quick update on some fic progress:
          
          I am still writing a long fic thats a royalty au with levi. I've left some notes at the end of Peaches chapters so it's been a long time in the works lol. I don't post until I finish the story because my writing habits are not consistent enough to be reliable. Chapters are hitting about 9k in word count and I've written nine chapters as of now... So it's a long one.
          
          I have started a much shorter fic thats a modern au. Small beach town levi and friends with the working title "Just a Summer Job". 
          
          We'll see which one gets posted first!
          
          Thanks for sticking around <3
          
          much love,

Can Helsinki be longer please. I’m only on ch 1 and it’s soooo good. It hurts my heart that it’s only 40mins long. I always wanted to read a aotxcyberpunk story.

gothgril69

unfortunately Helsinki is only a oneshot <3 perhaps in the future i'll make a long fic in the cyberpunk universe, but right now i'm working on a royalty long fic <3 i'm glad you liked Helsinki though!

just uploaded a cyberpunk au oneshot thats a levixreader
          
          was heavily debating on posting it in the new year because its a bit of a sad one besides the spicy smut, but we'll start the new year off with a happier note i'm sure <3
          
          thanks for sticking with me
          see you in 2023
          
          much love <3

three uploads tonight :)
          
          last two chapters of Beauty of the Moon.
          I'm eager to wrap up the story and move on to better things I've written.
          
          new chapter of my newest story: Peaches.
          another levi  x reader of course. i love what i've written and i'm currently finishing up the last two chapters of this 15 chapter story.
          
          I also already have a new story planned out.
          the plot is mostly planned but i want it to be a heavier and very detailed story so i'm not sure when it will come out but i'm assuming i'll be done with it when i finish uploading Peaches.
          
          I'm also going to write a one shot before I start writing the story after Peaches. It'll definitely be full of smut so enjoy that when it comes out :)

Do you post on AO3? It def helped to get me more reach and readers but I adore you and my maybe 3 other loyal readers on wattpad LOL

gothgril69

you ever read a story so good that you have second thoughts about posting your own?
          
          feeling that with the modern au levi x reader i just wrote.

gothgril69

@GrassDoesntHelp224 i think every writer/artist feels that way and i always try to tell myself that i'll release my current work now and i'll be able to see myself grow as i continue. so i force myself to post it to get it out there so i can eventually forget and move on. otherwise i'll hold onto it and never grow.

@t_the_sea LITERALLY i did read it and i was like cool the smut i wrote is now absolute garbage!
            
            beauty of the moon definitely doesnt reach my standards anymore and i know my new story is much better. just cant help but think its lacking still.

I’m always comparing myself to others when it comes to writing so I start to feel self conscious before I either start a chapter or update.
