I don’t like to share this story but I really felt like I had to after seeing this post.

I’m a 17 y/o female and I was pumping gas with a friend of mine (16 y/o F) at night in our way home from a football game. I started getting a really weird feeling and was looking around me. I noticed a man a couple of stalls over who hurriedly looked away as soon as I saw him. So I finished up getting gas, hopped in the car, and drove off with my friend.

We talked abt it the whole way back to our town, until I realized his brown truck was a few cars behind us. I told my friend and we both kind of chuckled at first until we realized he was going around all of the other cars and coming next to us. He gets beside our car and he’s smiling at us. That should have been the point at which I sped up or slowed down to try and lose him. But no. I waited to see what he was doing.

He reached down and started pulling out a gun.

I screamed. Floor’d it. And drove as fast as I could to get away. My friend started calling the cops and we were absolutely booking it. I could see him speeding up to try and catch us but I noticed a grouping of cars just ahead of us. I got infront a guy (he was v pissed) and got off on the exit ramp, forcing the man to slow down. I didn’t know where we were but I got into town and found a really big fancy ass restaurant. I’d lost the man but I was sure he would find us (My car is easily recongnizable). I parked in the back with the employee parking and shut off the car and ran to find someone. We went into the restaurant and explained everything to the woman at the front desk. We stayed there for 30 minutes while they called the police. Luckily, they apprehended the guy because someone had also called on the highway and reported that he had a gun and was chasing another car.

It was the scariest experience of my life and I do not go to gas stations alone anymore or without being on the phone with someone. Please be safe everyone.

Someone's trying to follow me and my mom home, Jesus Christ this is terrifying

Welcome to the Tony Stark Cinematic Universe

things I wish I’d known when I started writing fic on ao3

use & for friendships, colleagues, familial relationships and use / for romantic or sexual relationships (or encounters)

not everyone reads fic. Lots of people use screen readers, and screen readers can’t see what’s on images. use descriptive text to help them out.

lots of people download fic to read on other devices, not all downloads capture images too.

there’s a big difference between No Archive Warnings Apply (NAWA) and Author Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings (CNTW). NAWA means that there’s nothing in the fic that needs to be warned for using the official Archive Warning system. CNTW means there might be something that requires a warning and the author is either avoiding giving out spoilers or they are unsure how to interpret their plot point with respect to the official Warnings. (in both cases, additional tags are where it’s at - you can explain yourself there) 

the reason why the number of bookmarks in the fic is different from the number of bookmarks on your stats page is because your stats page number includes bookmarks that are hidden

there’s a preference setting where you can receive emails with your own comments/replies.

there’s a site skin that hides stats so you don’t have to see them

writing in rich text format makes my life easier

knowing html allows me to do fun things in the comments section like comment/reply with reaction gifs

knowing html also allows me to do interesting formatting in my fics that I can’t do with rich text alone

those little blue bubbles with the question marks in them will answer my questions a lot of the time - and also teach me something new

the FAQ is linked under the word About in the header

if you write your fic in the draft window, you might end up losing it so make sure you copy the text before you hit Post, just in case

they aren’t kidding when they say drafts are deleted after 30 days

Why have I never see this????
