▶️ The writer, Ali Hazelwood, said she was spotted and contacted by her agent because he read some of her work on AO3.

Hey ! Today, I'm recommending a fantasy story. It's a fanfiction of the manga Overlord.
The atmosphere is dark and really immersive, in a strange forest.
I hope you enjoy it !

📒Do you know why AO3 is called that way? It references Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own”, an essay focusing on feminist issues and the need for women to have their own space. This resonates with fanfic writers & readers who longed for their own archive away from censorship or exterior control.⬇️

Hey ! Today, I recommend a fantasy fanfiction inspired by Chinese mythology.
The mystical creatures are described faithfully and accurately. This story teaches us a lot about this topic.
I hope you like it.

🍿Yesterday, “Wicked: For Good” came out out in theaters! Do you know where this wonderful story comes from?
🧹The #Wicked movies are based on the 2003 #musical, itself inspired by Gregory Maguire’s book. The book could technically be considered fan-fiction of "The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart! #ao3 #scamalert
