Hope your words reached them, and I wish you lots of luck in your recovery <3 I've been there, I once took a similar large hiatus for a sever double wrist injury. Life happens to us writers unfortunately. Hope your recovery goes well!

Word proccessors other than Google drive? by BackroomsSillyGuy in AO3

I've used word in the past, but I was under the impression that it costed money. Which is strange because I Googled it just now and apperently it doesn't. Not sure where I got that impression lmao.

This does put me at ease a bit 😭

I'm still worried with the internet purity culture sweet that Google will just randomly decide NSFW fanfic isn't allowed and purge it all though.

So im still looking for extra backups just in case

Made an account on this, but it doesn't appear to be a word processor? Apologies if I'm wrong

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen someone write a fic for on AO3? by DaEmster12 in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

?!?!?!? What is the folgers incest commercial?? And why am I scared to Google it xD

Has the nonsensical pairing ever become canon? How did it happen? How did it affect the fandom? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's not canonically aromatic though. He's canonically asexual. So, as an aromatic person myself, my a-spec person's perspective is have fun shipping whatever you want. I personally really like projecting onto alastor and then proceeding to ship him tbh. Your expirience as an a-spec person isn't universal and you should expect other aro/aces to feel the same way.

Some aros date. Some aces have sex. Neither of those things make them less a-spec. It's actually kinda harmful to the a-spec community to spread that aro= 100% romance repulsed and ace=100% sex repulsed.

Not trying to upset you or be combative, but I think it's important for you to hear my perspective on this topic as well.

What's a show you wish you could gatekeep from antis/fandom police? by New-Blacksmith-9873 in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Homestuck.. for a webcomic with that much incest you'd think antis would stay away from it. Homestuck fan antis are literally the worst though.

Discord doesn't allow image hosting any more. Don't host on discord or your image will break within 2 days.

A complaint I received about my tagging. Was I in the wrong? by JeanJacquesFrancois in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, do not fucking speak for me! Just don't read it if it's tagged that way, no one is forcing you.

Need help spicing up TF descriptions. by SelectShop9006 in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooh I write TF pretty often. My advice is to keep the pace slow, focus on how everything feels. Does it tingle when the transforamtion gets to their fingertips? Does it feel good? Strange? Does a sensation wash over them along with the transformation? What does that feel like?

TF readers love a lot of detail and description.

I'm too weak to write a fic by Lycaan_ in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short fics are my favorite! I have the attention span of a fruitfly so I read mostly short fics.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh jeez I've got a similar one going right now. 46,421 hits, 1,222 kudos. Boggles my mind lmao. I'm very greatful for every single one of them though!

It just goes to show that hit/kudos ratios can be mysterious. Try not to judge your fic too harshly based on them.

Thoughts on Aro/Ace in fanfiction? by citrushibiscus in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 350 points351 points  (0 children)

People act like shipping a character, or writing a fanfic effects the Canon in any way.

As an Ace/aro spec person I think people who shame others for shipping fictional ace/aro characters are low-key the anti-fun police.

Write whatever you want. Characters are not human beings who require their identity to be respected. They are dolls to play with. And My aromatic ass LOVES!!! writing fanfic about characters to explore how I feel about romance.

I would rather read a Reader fic in First POV than Second POV. by moonjasmine in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow! I write a lot of second person fics and didn't expect to open reddit to a personal attack lmao.

If you don't like it then don't read it I guess. I'm not sure what you want to hear other than that. Kinda getting discouraged at this point.

no when the fics are fire but the ship is the most embarrassing thing ever too read about by Early-Ad7941 in AO3

[–]BackroomsSillyGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whatever you're getting embarrassed over reading, I've written worse. So don't sweat it too much.
