I’m obsessed by the fact that the basket placement heavily implies that this has happened before.

I’ve been feeling insane about this for a good ten years because I remember that the books that I read as a kid all had stories where the protagonist was completely normal and they found an object or a book and learning to read the book or use the magical object was what made them into the cool hero, and then part way during my childhood suddenly all the new books had heroes that were the hero because they were born the hero, and they were just temporarily uncool because they didn’t know that they were born special.
And I know that these things are trends that come and go, but I’m 30 years old now and the “you can only be born special, you can’t work to achieve great things” narrative just WILL. NOT. DIE. as a trend in YA lit.
Can we PLEASE go back to “find a weird book in the library and accidentally become an all powerful wizard because you can read aloud” being the dominant narrative of youth fiction?

This is also true with filmmakers. Western filmmakers pan their cameras mostly left to right and Iranian filmmakers do right to left.
Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”
But the coolest part of that time-direction study, was there didn’t seem to be a consistent pattern to how aboriginal Australians arranged the images, until it was realized that the issue was where the participant was sitting, because they were consistently arranging them East to West.
Because these languages have absolute direction. They don’t use left/right, but north/south/etc.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
As described in this poem, the known rings of power can be sorted into sets of sequential odd numbers, with the notable omission of a grouping of five rings. Incidentally, this is the exact size of the group of "golden rings" described in the traditional English Christmas carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. In this essay I will—
BUT THEY WERE ALL OF THEM DECEIVED, FOR ANOTHER BIRD WAS MADE. IN THE LAND OF MORDOR, IN A PEAR TREE, THE DARK LORD SAURON FORGED IN SECRET, A MASTER BIRD, TO CONTROL ALL OTHERS. AND INTO THIS PARTRIDGE HE POURED ALL HIS CRUELTY, HIS MALICE, AND HIS WILL TO DOMINATE ALL LIFE.
How To Put "I am a Ao3 Author" on Your Resume
"Published (number of works on ao3) written works spanning (lowest word count) to (highest word count) to a nonprofit international digital archive dedicated to preserving and maintaining society's reactions, impressions, and culture regarding various forms of fictional media."
You can also simplify it to "Creative Writer - Archive (dates) and then put "Wrote for a nonprofit digital archive as a volunteer."
Plus, if you have a lot of hits or kudos on your works, you can say, "I reached (number of hits) people and (number of kudos) of those people signified to the Archive that my work resonated with them."
Because, technically, we are all volunteering our time and donating our writing to AO3's cause of preserving the fandoms and the culture around them. And people do sometimes just call it "Archive". So nothing I just said was a lie.
If you're writing on Ao3, then you have experience writing -- which is the skill you're presenting here. In the long run, you're not doing anything wrong by phrasing your experience in impressive ways.
If you’re putting anything on your resume/CV then you need to be able to answer the question “tell me more about this” in an interview. Because someone will ask you. And if you’re not willing to discuss your Destiel MPreg Coffee Shop AU with your future employer then you need to either come up with a good lie about what you wrote and what AO3 is for or just don’t put it on your CV.
