PRO TIP FOR THE SICKFIC + WHUMP COMMUNITY
Have you managed to read every single fic listed on ao3 as “sickfic” or “hurt/comfort” for all your favorite fandoms, but still find yourself thirsty for more?
Well never fear!
I’m here to remind you that, if you add: “site:http://archiveofourown.org” (or fanfiction.net - no quotation marks) at the end of your google search, your browser will only bring up results from that website! So, if you were to search:
you’ll get results for any fic in the archive with these key words, even if the stories aren’t tagged as sickfics, without having to wade through tons of weird internet search results from like wattpad and quora and weird forums haha
I’ve found a lot of stories feature sickness and whump that I would have never ever discovered without this trick - you should definitely give it a try, and experiment with your key words a bit!
Anyway, just thought I’d share this, since it took me WAY too long to realize this was a thing, and it might help some of y’all out with your whumpy goodness!
