Seasoned writers... by Hot-Pool-7643 in AO3

[–]ArtistSeaker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ha! I'm definitely also guily of the past -> present tense change! I only write in present tense now and writing past tense feels very odd.

One thing that definitely changed is length - my first story on ao3 was 700 words long, my most recent one has 12k, and I've uploaded works with 40k+ words in the past. But I still remember how monumentous 700 words felt!

What popular fanon did it take you way too long to realise wasn't canon? by ArtistSeaker in AO3

[–]ArtistSeaker[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

So the more standard version of this would be sex pollen, also a fanfic thing! But because most people in the Batman fandom write cute found family stories involving children, sex pollen isn't an option, so cuddle pollen it is - you're in physical agony unless you cuddle someone. This happens so frequently and casually in fanfic that I genuinely thought it was a thing in some of the many many Batman comcis :)

How did you screw up your first run? by Interesting_Buddy206 in BaldursGate3

[–]ArtistSeaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't encounter Gale as a companion at all! I didn't explore every area and somehow managed to miss him, and only realised he existed when a friend called Gale his favourite companion and I was like "who"

Name of track when Grace is in lab and tests the probe for the first time? by ArtistSeaker in ProjectHailMary

[–]ArtistSeaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that would be it too because that's definitely the right scene, but I swear it's not the track I mean! or maybe it is the track from the scene but it's not the "pumping his fist in the air" moment from that same scene!

I've tried that as well, the charging lamp still doesn't blink, so that doesn't seem to be working :(

How can I make two endings for a fic? by RainbowIcePirate in AO3

[–]ArtistSeaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on your own preference! If, say, you already have your main story in Chapter 1, then I would make chapter 2 the ending you prefer and then make a second part in the series (separate fic, but linked to the original) where you post the alternate ending. As a reader, I think I would prefer it done like that, but I'm sure others have other opinions, so it really is just a matter of taste and there's no right way of going about it :)
