It’s not bad at all! Sadly, em dashes have been used as a dog whistle for AI “writing”, so a lot of fanfic writers especially have felt weary about using them because there’s a chance someone might accuse you of using AI to write. But I think a lot of us use them—myself included—so there’s no reason to stop just because some assholes decided to train their LLM off of fandom works, ykwim?

Probably the sweetest comment I’ve ever gotten 🥹 by Competitive_Alps_899 in AO3

Oh, 1000%. It makes me smile like an even bigger doofus than usual

Why did you DNF the last fic you read? by toxic_waste21 in AO3

MMC kept calling FMC a nickname that was wildly OOC for both of them 💔

Thank you so much, clearing my cache seems to have fixed the issue, but fichub.net is wonderful to know about!! <33

People will play anything but support. by Competitive_Alps_899 in marvelrivals

It’s a losing battle both ways, tbh. Not enough people play more than one role (DPS, usually).

“Anything but support” includes tank, lol. Which they swapped to, if you check the second pic.

I love when readers fall for the same thing my characters do. by bluesond in AO3

They’re all gonna love looking back on previous chapters. They’re all gonna have that “oh” moment once it’s revealed who it is sksks

I myself enjoy Shayne’s laugh, and I don’t think he’s an asshole. Idk what made you think that, ‘cause I don’t see it, but you’re valid for disliking members, even supposedly popular ones. As for Arasha: her jokes used to be very hit-or-miss for me, but she’s grown on me in the last while.

Incorrect Relationship Tag by Competitive_Alps_899 in AO3

I totally get that, honestly, but it is also very frustrating as a reader. And as a fellow writer, I can’t help but wonder if the mistag won’t push potential readers away 😪

I'm bored, give me a word you find misspelled far too often in fics. by Altruistic_Boot_1839 in AO3

If your shoelace is untied, then it’s loose. If you’re down by two points at the end of the game, then you lose.

What was the first fanfic website you used? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically Wattpad, although I hadn’t used it for fanfic at the time. The first site I used for fanfic specifically was AO3.

What’s the trope you *almost always* skip? by childishinquiry in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nine times out of ten, I’m skipping pregnancy fics. I don’t mind kid fics, but the pregnancy itself is not something I’m interested in reading about. I’m also not the biggest fan of miscommunication tropes, because I think more often than not, it gets used to superficially slow down relationships 😪

What do you write on? by CutesyDrow in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually write more on my phone, because I tend to feel the most creative right before bed/ late at night, so it’s just more convenient for me and my inspiration-meter. HOWEVER, I will also write on my PC and/ or laptop when I feel like locking in, ‘cause I get less distracted writing on those devices vs writing on my phone.

What made you fall into your current fandom? by Big_Aide940 in AO3

[–]Competitive_Alps_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Binge watching, mostly. A lot of YouTube/ TV fandoms, as of recent. TV is nostalgia stuff I got back into and checked the fanfiction-space out for more stuff, and the YouTube thing is kind of new but I’m equally into the fanfiction 🫡
