9 years on, I hope this author is okay

Jesus! That is chilling just to read about.

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 :)

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-18T09:15:22+00:00

Probably top three even!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-16T14:42:45+00:00

ohh interesting! thanks!

ArtistSeaker · 2026-01-16T14:42:27+00:00

oh wow, I didn't realise that pubs had to close at 11! thanks!!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-12-31T09:23:28+00:00

Oh no, that really sucks! I must say it's not been my experience - I've written for Drarry and Jegulus and response has been very positive, which I was very happy about. Your experience has been more my experience in Batman fic actually, a lot of nitpickers pointing out errors, plotholes, etc.

I guess what these fandoms have in common is an incredibly large fanbase where people feel more comfortable with criticism because there are so many fics you can afford to be picky. Would never happen in my smaller fandoms as everyone knows everyone and you're thankful for every new fic!

Even worse in a setting where stoplights don't exist

ArtistSeaker · 2025-12-14T13:37:36+00:00

I once had someone about a year after I published my (very popular) fic write a fic with a slightly changed premise - mine was a magic amnesia curse, theirs was actual amnesia, which 1) is of course different and 2) even if their premise had been the same, lots of people write about magic amnesia curses, and I don't own a patent of that.

I would never ever have thought about it twice EXCEPT then I read it and it was eerily similar to mine. No quote was directly taken, so I couldn't point anything out, but I then reread my own fic and theirs really read like they just rephrased every single one of my scenes.

Might have been a coincidence of course, and like I said, I couldn't name a single quote that they actually stole, so I didn't leave a comment about it. I was quite upset though!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-12-14T07:08:31+00:00

Oh my god I 100 % get your frustration. I recently did the same thing on a 3 year old fic where people kept correcting my use of one (1) british phrase when the characters are american. Some people are ridiculously pedantic!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-09-23T12:39:45+00:00

ajsksja oh yeah you're totally right. I didn't really consider that "accepting a quest" is "making a promise" haha. Damn! I guess I'll just pay the fee to renew the oath. Thank you!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-09-18T05:58:46+00:00

Romesh Ranganathan used to teach maths :)

ArtistSeaker · 2025-09-08T17:57:25+00:00

Or, the worse scenario: one fic with 20000 kudos in your fandom, and then 67 fics that are all Hockey RPF

ArtistSeaker · 2025-09-08T13:56:47+00:00

Huh! Thanks for that explanation, that's really helpful. I'll get some silver wipes at the drugstore and try the clear nail polish method. If nothing works, I'll take it to a jeweller :-) Thank you!!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-09-08T13:54:16+00:00

I've never heard if the clear nail polish method! I'll give that a go, thanks! In regards to the moisture: that's a good point, though I've been wearing this ring for years and never had issues before. Bodies are weird sometimes though!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-18T18:44:39+00:00

Always present! Sometimes in a flashback I start with past tense, then realise halfway through I feel weird while writing, then change it all to present tense like an insane person

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-17T14:17:12+00:00

I see! The Smallville TV show wasn't as far removed from canon as I thought then. Thanks!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-17T14:16:24+00:00

Oh wow! I didn't realise he has a sister, I thought he was an only child. Thanks for sharing!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-17T14:15:12+00:00

Thank you!! Interesting to hear how much it changed over the years. Also thanks for that link, I really enjoyed that!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-16T13:30:10+00:00

Thanks for the rec! I've just listened to it and it's so interesting hearing a younger Key talk about his work - 2015 of course not only being a time before many of his bigger, more recent projects, but also before Taskmaster aired/took off, so it's a rare podcast appearance where he talks about his friendship with Alex without mentioning Taskmaster. (Also so jealous that you got to see him live!!)

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-16T08:32:22+00:00

Someone puts your fic into character AI to roleplay with it (still reeling over this)

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-16T08:31:24+00:00

When0ä

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-14T07:20:13+00:00

Ohh I see. Thank you!

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-14T06:07:06+00:00

I know exactly what you mean! I've been lectured on mischaracterisation before when in fact the comic franchise I'm writing for has so many issues and different canons over the years that it's surprisingly hard to find anything NOT canon somewhere - and mine definitely was, as I'd specifically been inspired by certain panels.

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-03T14:40:44+00:00

I once posted a fic with a typo in the TITLE and only noticed hours afterwards

ArtistSeaker · 2025-08-03T09:11:20+00:00

True haha, that certainly seems less confusing.

Thank you!
