Read on Twitter
Advices to very new fic authors:
1. when posting on twitter, always include a line/screenshot of your summary (of the fic, not the update!) with the link,
2. a block of text without any spacing is hard to read! better too much spacing than not enough.

3. for your summary, make it clear what AU it is, what dynamic is portrayed, what trope(s). prefer one or two short sentences vs a short excerpt of dialogue or other.
4. try to post on twitter when the US peeps are up.

5. always, ALWAYS use "/" to tag your pairing, never "&", and *never both* (Rey/Kylo Ren or Rey/Ben Solo, not "Rey &Ben Solo". "&" is for platonic relationships.)
6. NEVER write your draft in ao3. when you'll post your update, it'll get drowned under other fics' older updates.

7. to insert a link in ao3 (to your twitter, tumblr, etc.), here's the code: <a href="LINK">TEXT</a>
8. never include a link to your kofi. ao3 is a non-profit, your fic could be taken down.
