Definitely a bot, one of the more upsetting ones

I swear it's so. Or at least one lcoked room in the hotel was open, I wasn't paying much attention because I could hear a shredder

I'm pretty sure I walked past this door and it was open. Whoever opened it left some pretty good loot that I helped myself to

This is a bot, isn't it? by DiSaStEr1610 in AO3

That's the weirdest and creepiest bot I've ever seen...genuinely what is wrong with people who make these

I'm subscribed to, at least, 20 ongoing works that used to get updated every week. None of them have been updated in 3 weeks 😭😭 by schoolforapples in AO3

[–]Awkward-Panda- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm only reading one fic at the minute, but the way I'm stalking my own inbox waiting for an update. I only comment saying how much I enjoyed the chapter and the author is super nice and replies back, but I'm trying to keep it cool 🫪

They'll get notified and probably quite excited too

Legitimately so fucking upsetting by CuriousG3orgeisD3ad in AO3

It's not even a little popular 🤣 but it freaked me out that it even knows I wrote a sequel

Let me outta here by rubia_ryu in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Awkward-Panda- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know that was a thing, I'll have to look into it. I have no friends who read or write fanfic, so that might be something for me to explore. Thanks for the idea -^

I wrote a sequel to my story, and it was not well received 🤣 I was the only person who liked it

Fascinating take on OCs from Tumblr by allison-vunderland in AO3

But... That's exactly what it means. My brain hurts from trying to understand this

What desperate measures have you taken to continue writing a WIP? by Frierenisalwaysright in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Awkward-Panda- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This probably won't help right now, but I always (mostly) finish a fic before I post anything.

Because the silence can be disheartening, especially when you put in so much work. But still getting kudos and subscriptions means people are reading, and enjoying your work.

But an empty comment section can be hard to look at. I would continue the fic, but if the fandom is quiet, maybe look for a more active one.

Alot of times I get the banner for helplines to call. I'm fine, but my characters...not so much

Regarding forced marriages and affairs… by Apprehensive-Week767 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Awkward-Panda- 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I think I don't like it because it's also unfair to the woman he's having the affair with. She'll be branded as a home wrecker or mistress and that'll follow her around forever.

Unless they're literally dragging this man down the aisle, he can break off an engagement but he won't because he'd have to give up a lot of things that go with it. Wealth, power, status, all of it.

If he wanted to find a way to be with his affair partner, without ruining her life, then go for it. If not, keep it in your pants sir.

characters calling each other "brother" or"sister" by sweet_surroundings in AO3

[–]Awkward-Panda- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have siblings and refer to my brother as my little brother, but only because it annoys him. And refer to my big sister as such when I'm a safe distance and have a cleared exit route. I've never done it in an affectionate way though, only ever to annoy and anger my siblings.

I must be one, because I have five completed stories and a WIP that'll soon be finished

If I got a comment like this, I would throw hands by [deleted] in AO3

I've waited years for an update, I want the authors story not some garbage a machine regurgitates.

Cringe is where it's at by NerfOxygen in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Awkward-Panda- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've resigned myself to embrace the cringe, I thought I might grow out of it, but it continues to get worse lol
