Do you remember the glory days on Fanfiction.net? We bolded words instead of italicizing for emphasis. Line breaks were made out of stars and your ship’s initials. We threatened to murder people for reviews. God, what a site.
Slash order indicated who was on top. We rated fic with citrus fruits. “Don’t like, don’t read!”
It was a weird time.
We shit talked other authors in PMs. There were entire chapters that were just authors notes.
Stories were introduced in the author’s notes by yourself and then the characters, who chided you for not writing.
You listed every single reviewer from the last chapter in your notes even if it was 50+ people.
THERE WERE AUTHOR’S NOTES IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAPTERS JESUS CHRIST
god help me i remember this and i just vaguely frequented that site between the ages of 7 and 10
Every sentence ended with “XD” all of our names were “goth raven princess darkness child heaven” or some iteration of it.
We wrote sentences like “his blue, glossy orbs stared into mine” COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY EHAT THE FUCK
my favourite was was chapters were held hostage until the chapter got a certain amount of comments
