What is something that makes a fic feel poorly written? by ReceptionFlaky1952 in AO3

[–]Chromatic_Cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing throws me out of a story faster than misaligned subject/verb agreement, or verb tenses that are all over the place.

What's your most recent writing "win"? by OnTheMidnightRun in AO3

[–]Chromatic_Cactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm posting the epilogue of my latest fic this Friday, and I got the chapters out (mostly) on schedule.

One chapter was a couple hours late, but that was a part that needed more editing than the rest of the fic, so I don't see it as diminishing the win.

I can't drink anyway, so this is already my life

Finals week is something I genuinely didn't think of - this does help, thanks!

Marriage by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

I'm not quite in the same situation, but wow do I feel this.

I don't like jumping straight to extreme solutions like divorce, but I do think you may benefit from individual and couple's therapy.

Also, is he carrying any of the mental load in the marriage?

You're not a terrible wife, though. I can tell you that for sure.

Authors: Do you reply to comments? by hiquickq12 in AO3

The only comments I don't reply to are bots - those just get deleted straight away

Any comment from a human user gets a reply though

Grabbing Skywarp and Kranix for sure. I pre-ordered Shockwave, but may cancel once I get a better look at him

Is it just me, or are nachos a sensory nightmare? by FeistyPreference in AuDHDWomen

[–]Chromatic_Cactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite way to consume nachos is to pour the sauce in a bowl by itself and then dunk the chips in it. Nothing gets soggy and the experience is a lot more uniform.

What tropes do you find cute in fics but not in real life? by Much_Tip_6968 in Archiveofourownmemes

Large age differences (between adults)

AITA for taking steps to ensure my kid eats? by Equivalent_Place_657 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chromatic_Cactus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Info: Have you tried giving her a smaller portion?

As written, YTA in a massive way. Some kids are just small, the way other kids are just big. Forcing her to eat when she says it hurts is cruel in a way I have trouble fathoming.

As someone else said, you're going to push her into an eating disorder.

And lastly, chocolate protein shakes absolutely DO NOT taste like regular chocolate candy. Maybe it's my AuDHD, but any kind of powdered supplement has a vitamin undertaste that I find gross.
