if yall think i’m going to spend my valuable free time off writing about my actual job, a job in which I have literally cleaned human feces out of a kitchen sink, instead of about someone working at a cute bookstore with five cats and a cute human coming to shyly talk about books and let them pet their cute dog, honey have I got news for you about the purpose of escapist literature

hey so i found out that not a bunch of people knew about this handy thing

but you can post anonymously on AO3!!! here’s how it works:

  • post it under this collection
  • everyone sees this work under “Anonymous” but you see your own work as “Anonymous [Your Username]”
  • the fic is STILL connected to your account, but nobody can trace it back to you + you still get comments in your inbox!
  • “is it like “Orphan”? 
  • nope! it’s not! the difference is when you Orphan a work, it’s no longer connected to your account and you can’t get alerts/comments.
  • “can I de-anon my work?”
  • yes you can! you can de-anon your work any time you want. all you have to do is remove your work from the anonymous collection!

if you are shy about posting, or scared of having a work connected back to your account, or even participating in an anon fest, this is PERFECT!

Also, you can reply to comments; it will show your name as “Anonymous Creator.”
