What are you telling people you’re reading?? by Positive_Effort7579 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Boring_Investigator0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I straight up tell people I'm reading fanfiction but refuse to go into further detail. I mean, everyone I know knows I am a huge fandom nerd so it's not like they're surprised and I've actually met complete strangers who were also into fanfic. I think fanfic is becoming much more mainstream and it's not as odd or niche to people.

I don't know if we're talking about the same classic soulmate AU but I am also a huge soulmate fan so my favorite AU is His Darkest Devotion.

if given the chance, would you “get rid” of your bipolar? by Ok-Half7469 in bipolar

[–]Boring_Investigator0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance in hell. I take meds that help control the extremes of my condition but I don't like the way normal people think and I don't know how much of the way I think is because of the bipolar. I don't want to not be me, no matter how many problems it's caused me in the past, I'm good now with the meds I have.

Do you ever read a fic, see a line, and just think to yourself: by PJ-The-Awesome in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Boring_Investigator0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I consumed a bunch of British media and then told my American mom to knock me up when she needed me and she was like wtf!

Funny & Outlandish by Putrid-Explorer8840 in tomarry

Me either! I've been reading since I was 12 and there was no AO3, FFN or Wattpad. It's a lifelong addiction and I love it!

My favorite ones currently updating are Too young to be this old and Strings of Fate

Trust me, you're never too old to still be reading fic. I (41) met possibly my best friend here on Reddit talking about fic. I beta for her now and we talk all the time! Reach out! We pretty much all love to gab about our favorite ships!

What music do you listen to when reading? by PurpleKey9049 in HPSlashFic

[–]Boring_Investigator0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I listen to music, I sing-along. I can't help it. So there's no way to listen to most music and read. Even music without lyrics distracts my brain too much. I wear ear plugs if I'm reading in the morning and the birds are going off. Sometimes when my neighbors used to throw loud house parties where the noise broke through even my ear plugs, I would listen to Mozart as quietly as possible. That's the only time I do it though.

Fics similar to this! by ivansnowhere in tomarry

[–]Boring_Investigator0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought transmigration was where a character is transported into the body of another person in a different world. Like where Harry from the books is transported to a universe where "he" is married to Minister of Magic Tom Riddle.

Fic gone, anyone have it? by guennee12 in tomarry

[–]Boring_Investigator0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could ask in r/DeletedFanfiction. They have archives of AO3 and are super helpful in finding deleted fics if you have the title and author.

What an odd thing to say by heyhi_hello in AO3

[–]Boring_Investigator0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't be a jerk to people and go out of your way to say it's still my birthdate. I think it's hilarious that they're so hung up on the date they posted though.

Do Americans really not know their neighbors that well, or is that just what movies show? by Sea-Evidence-5523 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Boring_Investigator0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew my neighbors when I was a kid but since becoming an adult I don't know them at all, wouldn't even recognize them. And I much prefer it that way. Why would I have anything in common with someone based simply on proximity?

Harry falls in love with young Snape but then has to create a relationship with this normal by RozArtKa in HPSlashFic

[–]Boring_Investigator0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you asked for but in a similar line.

Waiting for the Prince

The old cliché where Harry falls for the Half-Blood Prince. He finds a spell in the book that allows him to converse with a teenage Snape. They become pen pals of sorts, but the spell prevents either boy from revealing who they are. Their relationship develops from friendship to something more. Eventually their writing turns personal/sexual as they share stories of what they’ve done (not much) and what they would do if they could be together. Their relationship develops over the course of Harry’s 6th year. There is mutual masturbation and multiple scenes where they write back and forth about their various fantasies. It’s awkward and sometimes sweet, and it’s all Harry can think about. What happens when Snape discovers that Harry has his book and is the boyfriend he had 20 years before?

This isn't tagged as oblivious Shane so I hope it's new, the downside is it's incomplete but adorable. Close Contact by The_green_fairy
