So you know...

History

I've been writing since I two so... I think I know what I'm talking about. I wrote my first fic when I was 7 -- a Harry Potter fic based on a dream I'd had. After that, it was Doctor Who, Phineas and Ferb, Disney, then when I was around 12, I started posting on FF.net. Then I started watching Flash and DC's Arrowverse became my new fandom.

I discovered AO3 in high school. That was when I started getting into Avengers and later anime. It was 2020 when I completely switched to AO3.

Time on AO3

I have a confession to make. DekuNo wasn't my first AO3 account. I grew up a very innocent Christian (I know it's hard to believe) and all of my work for the first... 16 or so years of my life was all very PG. Like, excruciatingly so. As in "*gasp* Two characters kissed?! The horror!" Yeah. That was the image my first AO3 account had. Very innocent, very fluffy, lots of hurt/comfort, emotional angst, slightly T rated stuff. It was through this account that I met my Discord best friend. I commented on her fic, she invited me to her discord, she pseudo adopted me and we've been friends ever since. She sees me as this completely innocent kid who barely knows how to swear. In other words...

She'd be horrified to see the stuff I'm posting now.

But, sometime after I met her, I starting writing some... morally questionable fics and I thought, "I'll bet there are people who'd like to read this" but I couldn't post it on my AO3 account or my friend would find out. So, I created a new account.

Cue, DekuNo!

Starting on a new, completely anonymous account, I began posting all the horrible rape, smut, dead dove fics I had. The account was actually supposed to be just for that.

Until I wrote Tear Me Apart.

Quirkless and Useless

I swear Tear Me Apart was supposed to just be a stand alone "porn without a plot" fic. But then my bleeding heart stepped in and told me to save Izuku because that's just how I am. That's how it became the monstrosity of a series that it is today.

I swear, I did not expect it to become actually popular.

Quirkless and Useless is by far the most popular story I've ever posted (well, except for maybe something on my first ao3 account, but that was about the same and it's been long abandoned) and it's what persuaded me to start posting everything on my DekuNo account instead of just the Bad Stuff.

So now my account has a pretty good balance of everything and my previous account is pretty much abandoned. My friend still doesn't know the stuff I post now and I plan to keep it that way. It's nice being able to post whatever I want with no regrets.
