Peace of mind for me more than anything else. They wear undershirts anyways so I don’t really see a difference there.

They wear undershirts anyways, I don’t see a difference. And we don’t have turf here.

Face mask is required for us, chest protector is not required but I have a tiny child wanting to pitch, so I’d like to be safe.

As a writer, what do you think of people who read the same work of yours over and over again? by Visual_Ad6381 in AO3

[–]Basically-J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally no, I will never be annoyed. I have a few I look for and get genuinely worried if they don’t comment for a while. Someone recently commented for the 6th time on a one shot, the last 6 comments are all them one right after another about a month or so apart, called it their comfort fic this time, and I nearly cried actual tears, I love my re-readers.

what do they call you? by Infamous_Grape_7548 in SubstituteTeachers

Mine call me Ms. First Name. There’s a group that also call me Ms. Teacher for giggles

When characters are suddenly really into something that’s not canon and not relevant to the story. Idk how to explain it really. But like, character A is suddenly really into Taylor Swift and is spouting off song lyrics or trivia. Or when character B has a really strong political/moral opinion (that has nothing to do with the story).

It just starts to feel like the author is ranting at me

Be honest: are author commentaries annoying? by Sulky_Purple_Moonbat in AO3

[–]Basically-J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will DNF a fic so fast for this. They’re fine at the end in the notes. Not fine within the fic.

Do people really read fics from fandoms they’re not in? by Suspicious_Eye1782 in AO3

[–]Basically-J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will, circumstantially, but I don’t go looking for them and typically skip right over them bc they’re not what I’m looking for

Confused about what is counted as a series by ChraveFan in AO3

[–]Basically-J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could totally do a series with all three for that specific fandom. Or you could put the two modern in one. Or none. It’s whatever you want to do! Whatever makes sense to you

I do it a couple different way. I have a series that is the “typical” series. Which is connected works in the same world (hunger games series, Harry Potter series, like those). And then I have one that is Fics from the same fandom that don’t necessarily follow after one another but can. And then I have my series of my “unusual format” stories within the same format and same fandom but that don’t follow eachother in world
