Non/con FM Deleted AO3 Recs

Hello! I feel like I’ve basically read every available AO3 recs out there that are non/con fm. I have heard murmurings and rumblings about good AO3 fics that are no longer around. If you have an epub from AO3 that you are willing to share I would greatly appreciate it!!

On the Fence Dark Romance AO3 Writers: this is your sign

This post is your sign that you should finally write that dark romance novel you have always thought about but have been too shy or self-conscious to begin on AO3❤️

Idk if AO3 has ticked up in popularity recently or because I crave it like a drug ever since I discovered the platform and Deathsdoll in January, BUT I believe that there are souls like mine who aspire to write but are too shy to do so.

Therefore, I call on the creative minded to see this post as a sign to rise up and put pen to paper! Or fingers to keyboard! I am sure that everyone is amazing and has amazing ideas just based on the book requests alone on this subreddit! As someone putting together an outline and gearing up to begin writing a fic for the first time ever I just wanted to put out a word of encouragement because I know how hard it is. So take that big leap and let it loose!

The great thing about AO3 is that it helped me realize that there are people like me out there who like non-con/dub-con and other dark romance that isn’t published by mainstream publishers. AO3 and its stories specifically by Deathsdoll, youngbody_oldsoul, and BatsRats shows that there are audiences for this type of stuff, which made me less embarrassed to pursue the writing I’ve always wanted to do.

P.S. I’ve run out of stuff to read on AO3 so I need people to step up (including myself I guess) to fill the void. This is what prompted my desire to write in the first place.
