@Nyx Well I’m glad you did! I always appreciate well-written content, even if it falls outside my own preferences. Plus M/f NWO is such a rarity.

@Nyx Distress Call is my favorite story I’ve read by you it’s excellent.

[Nyx]

@Giganto82 Aw, thank you!

@Nyx I just looked at AO3 for the first time in years, trying to determine if and how I might post a couple of my stories there. I immediately started drowning in all the tags. I didn’t anything could be more convoluted than the Tumblr tag wars, but it’s a couple orders of magnitude worse. The temptation to simply write the story as tags is quite strong.

[Nyx]

@Olo The amount of tags on AO3 seems to be both a blessing (because it helps readers to find certain content and avoid other content) and a curse (because there are so many of them). I’m not that great when it comes to tags but I try to tag violence and other content that readers may not want to see.

The site does have some nice features, such as being able to subscribe to authors and stories.

@Olo I think ultimately the most important thing about AO3 is to utilize the warnings appropriately. For tags, it’s really just about using your best judgement.

@Nyx Dreams of a Distant Sphere has such great world building for a story in general. It feels as if this wasn’t a kinky story it would be a great dystopian story. I know I praised this story before, but I had time to finish it and it is priceless. I just have to praise it again. There is so much angst and overall raw emotion reading it felt like a journey. If this was a full on novel I would definitely get it. Thank you so much for writing that story.

@TakoAlice8 I’m very glad that you liked “Dreams of Distant Spheres.” Many of my stories have dystopian vibes and they could pass as horror stories rather than size ones. My more recent work is gentle, but I’ll always be fascinated by the darker side of micro/macro scenarios.
