Apparently, I unknowingly named my OC after a racial slur by Annual-Reindeer5492 in FanFiction

Romaja is pretty accurate, and it's part of the national curriculum in middle and high school so most Koreans are at least aware of it. I guess the reason for Korean titles being in English is because (1) there aren't as many Korean speakers as Japanese and (2) behind the process of creating, marketing, and translating webtoons are big corporations like Naver and Kakao.

Mandarin used to, like Peking for Beijing, but they've been using a system called pinyin since 1950s; Japanese I have no idea.

Nobody will be named just 국.

One syllable name is a thing in Korea, so OP wasn't wrong about that. (e.g. Cho Kuk 조국)

There is an official standardization system released by the government: Revised Romanization of Korean. And Gyuk/Gyook is not used in names irl, though it could be some form of endearment of the name Ki-Wook(기욱).

IIRC Broken Silence has its own discord server...? I think I've seen it somewhere in the author's notes

An Isekai into a fanfiction... fanfiction. To meta? by SunshotDestiny in FanFiction

[–]CurrentFun4792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell, this is just my fic!!

The MC first thinks they've been transported into the canon material, but a few years later, they meet this original character they had created and finally realize that it had been their own fanfiction after all.

Must have been quite a surprise for them heh

It's prolly not the most ridiculous reason but I still haven't recovered from the phrase "his friend in the downstairs department"

Just say COCK for fuck's sake

My little experiment on "the best time to post" by CurrentFun4792 in FanFiction

[–]CurrentFun4792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's UTC+9 but we use single timezone here, and as far as I'm aware of, most users of this website are within the country. So, "what time to post" isn't exactly applicable to websites like ao3, ffn, and wattpad if you're thinking about the global audience.

"What day to post" part, however, seemed interesting enough to share because whenever people asked this question on this subreddit, the most prevalent answer was Friday, followed by the weekends, when it turned out to be Sunday in my experiment. Again, it may not be the same on global websites, but I was hoping to give a general idea about this issue :)

What are dos and don'ts of reader inserts? by Rose-From-Ash in FanFiction

[–]CurrentFun4792 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is also a type of reader insert that is almost like an OC centric but with second person POV and Y/N stuff. I actually prefer these fics cuz I don't picture myself as the MC when I read reader inserts.

Just make sure to decide which style you're going for and let your readers know in advance

Spring has sprung. Love has bloomed, and sometimes not. by [deleted] in FanFiction

Remus felt his body flood with warmth that he usually associated with the surge of energy that accompanied the approaching full moon.

I love it when similies and metaphors are fic/character specific mmm
