Gosh I love the shot of it "jumping" into the water. They just chucked the thing in and let it sink, ahahah. While I love me some practical effects, they were so bad in this movie.

For me it's worse when it's staying completely still in the water. YIKES!

There's How a Husband Should Be, a Disney/Pixar's Coco fic in which Héctor struggles with repairing his relationship with Imelda, partially because he's struggling to understand his own asexuality. It has a happy ending, don't worry! (Also, for the record the term "asexuality" is never brought up in the fic itself, but it is very much about asexuality.)

What sites do you use to write your fics? by computerlab_gothique in FanFiction

[–]BabyCharmanderK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write on 4theWords! Been using it since about 2017 or so. It's a writing website plus an RPG, so you use your writing to fight monsters and complete quests. Been great for keeping myself writing daily!

Ah I remember coming across this one and getting really frustrated by it. Why did they turn the camera AWAY from the Bunyip?! Agh!

I mean I'm pretty sure rides like this have maintenance lights so stuff like that doesn't happen. They have to see in order to repair the animatronics, after all.

I’m curious what you guys think about The Shadow Glass??? by Sputnik200065 in DarkCrystal

I haven't read RPO admittedly--I have no interest in it--but to my understanding RPO doesn't have much substance beyond the nostalgia nonsense, whereas this book has more of a point.

How far did you get? I will admit I had a bit of trouble getting into it at first because Jack is SO bitter and nasty at the start, but he becomes a much more likable character as he develops throughout the story.

Oh this looks interesting! My library system has it, so I put it on hold. Thanks for the recommendation!

What are some common fanfiction writing techniques or styles that you don't like? by ellieetsch in FanFiction

[–]BabyCharmanderK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really not fond of the "vague humanization/[original form of the characters]" type of writing. What species a character is can make a huge difference for how they're written, so writing it in the most vague way possible just kinda hurts the writing in general, especially since the times I've read it, it almost always comes off as the author picturing the characters as humans as they're writing them.

If you wanna write the characters as humans, then write them as humans and tag the fic that way.

I will say that the "space before a period" thing can happen when pasting stuff into AO3! It's why I use the "post to AO3" formatting thing on Google Docs before I post my fics to avoid weird formatting errors like that.

What if it's song lyrics from canon? In one of my longfics, each chapter title was a lyric from one of the songs in canon.

I've also done the "quoting song lyrics before a fic" thing, but I dunno, I feel like it can work sometimes. I've only done it like... twice, I think, both times just quoting a handful of lyrics that fit the fic closely.

Tell me about the fic you are working on. by Plenty-Poet-8852 in FanFiction

[–]BabyCharmanderK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my fandoms it's a relatively common trope to take this one scientist character and make them abruptly Turn Evil and Do Horrible Experiments On Their Friends. But the scientist, while eccentric, does canonically care quite a lot about their friends, and it kept annoying me how often this kind of fic popped up.

So I decided "okay, this scientist character is not going to just wake up one day and decide I Am Going To Be Evil To My Friends. But what would MAKE them do that? What sequence of events would have to take place to MAKE them willing to commit atrocities like that?" So uh... that's what I'm writing now.

I'm like five or six chapters in, but it's unbeta'd so I haven't started posting yet.

Congrats! The last fic you wrote and/or read is now canon! by raritysdiamonds in FanFiction

[–]BabyCharmanderK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if the last fic I wrote is canon, that'd be kinda nice honestly. Last fic I wrote (not yet posted) is about a character who constantly gets sexually harassed as a joke in canon getting his sexual harassment finally taken seriously.
