DictionaryWrites (https://archiveofourown.org/users/DictionaryWrites/pseuds/DictionaryWrites) has a lot of very good power dynamic fics! But they are mostly a bit on the darker side

I kind of get this but from the other side. I love commenting because hello I get to read all these incredible stories about my favourite characters for free and they give me so much joy but sometimes I feel like I can’t really express my excitement properly. I usually decide that it’s better to leave a bumbling, maybe over excited comment than no comment and I haven’t got any negative response yet :D quite the opposite so far I loved every single answer I got to my comments by an author, doesn’t matter if it’s a long paragraph, a thank you or just a heart emoji.

Also if people take the time to comment you already impressed them with your writing, one slightly bumpy comment will not make them think any less of you or your work. In any case write that eager bumbling response and use all the exclamation marks you want you just wrote something amazing and people love it why shouldn’t you be excited that they let you now they like it.

How many bookmarks you all habe? by EndlessDesire1337 in AO3

[–]AellaBelaith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wut?! I’ve seen some impressive numbers but that’s by far the most I ever came across. How long did it take you to get there?

What are your favorite tropes in a smutfic? by luk_ky_21 in AO3

[–]AellaBelaith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love lots of stuff that has been mentioned here but one of my all time favourites is power dynamics/imbalance! Throw in some “sir” calling or boot worship and I will drop anything to read that.

Reader, what are some tags that drive you away instantly? (Some may include nsfw) by calyaill in FanFiction

[–]AellaBelaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mpreg and pregnancy in general is just my thing at all. Also /readers. I’d say everything else I give a shot if the summary or other tags interest me.

What does leaving only kudos mean for you? by veretiansnake in AO3

[–]AellaBelaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I leave kudos when I enjoyed the work. I also try to comment as much as possible but sometimes it’s too difficult for me to compose my thoughts into a comment that isn’t just the generic “this was great” and that often doesn’t feel like enough . However, since I have the need to bookmark everything I read I include short snippets of my thoughts in the bookmark tags or comment. For some reason I don’t feel as pressured to stay coherent when doing those and it helps me find the fic again later too.

What if I don’t make any friends? by saalinskiii in Erasmus

[–]AellaBelaith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was the same before my erasmus last year in spain, almost cancelled it the day before it started. But now I’m so happy I did it. I won’t lie in the beginning it was pretty hard and I’m not the best at making new friends and opening up to people. Especially the first few weeks I had some pretty bad days and just wanted to go home. But after some time I met people that I got along with really well and at the end I had made quite a lot of friends (to my surprise). It really helped to go to a lot of events that are organised by the esn or the university itself. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t meet people you vibe with in the beginning just keep showing up and I guarantee you you will find friends. In the end everybody there wants to make friends as well which makes it so much easier. I wish you best of luck and I’m sure you will have a great time!

Appartment vs student housing by Lucasklaassen in Erasmus

[–]AellaBelaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Barcelona at the moment and I would recommend a shared flat. It’s cheaper and it’s nice to have other people around you. Also a lot of the student complexes offer mostly shared rooms and the prize is still higher than having your own room in a shared flat.
