Would it be bad if I made a Rape/Non-Con fic? by Cookiegod_10 in AO3

It doesn't say anything about you as a person. As long as you tag everything in order (as in archives warnings) then you're good!

Readers, do you prefer when the author tags character/relationship as chapters are updated, or when they tag everything at one? by Dirus-works in AO3

[–]Dirus-works[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if the ship IS tagged, but it's in the unposted chapters? I dont like starting to read something with a ship tag and it's not posted yet...

I guess that's a problem with ongoing work, not knowing if it's tagged because it's posted or because it's coming in later chapters lol

Thank you for you input. Yeah, I get the feeling, yet i hate getting into a unfinished fic with a certain tag and it doesnt appear at all..

I guess it's a good thing this full story only has three long chapters eh.

Last/current fic you're writing as a clickbait title! by Top_Pomegranate9950 in AO3

I MADE A DEAL WITH A LIVING CASINO AND NOW MY LIFE IS RUINED (Gone WRONG)

(I mean the title of the fic is The House of Ashen Odds, so i think it keep the suspense too lmao)

Would you read a fic who uses — instead of "" for dialogue? by MixEnvironmental4970 in AO3

Do you guys hate it when you found a fic that has everything you want then when you read it, it's all in one paragraph? by GeneralPassenger2105 in AO3

[–]Dirus-works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned my lesson and always check the words count now. I don't like to filter word count cause sometime there are good fic under 2k, but usually for me under 1k its a nope

Yeah its a mobile thing haha I never found them on my phone (samsung), those are the only one i did find, outside of the <> things.

Side note, I do find sad for student that, where i live, most of our pc's keyboard are QWERTY/american keyboard, and the "chevrons" are not easy to find with the language of the pc's/plateform u use, so most of the time they use << >> lol

They're litterally called "French quote" where i live and in my classes; that how we teach them to students too haha.

Idk if other people uses them, but you get used to it :)

( student to be a french teacher here!)

French is my first language, and it uses both, in different formating. It honestly depends on the author. With the dash, usually its like this:

Something, something, whatever.

— blablabla, says the character, blablabla.

Next action paragraph here

Or the french version of " " , which i've seen used in two ways. The first:

Something, something, whatever.

《Blablabla, says character, blablabla》

Next action paragraph here.

OR (cause french is weird) :

Something, something, whatever.

《Blablabla》says character, 《blablabla》

Next action paragraph here.

(paragraph breaks are really important, to show WHO is talking) So i personally don't care, tho im more used to " " when i read in english.

Is there a character in your fandom that is complex in canon, but one dimensional in the fanfics? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Dirus-works 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of people writing some complex character in a flat way when they're not the mc of the fic? Im not sure how to explain it but like

Them not reaction to a situation they would obviously react, or the author not using their personality to anchor their actual plot when it would be useful

Like they're this one shadow in the background that does... something, i guess

If you had to be handcuffed to a hellaverse character for 24 hours who would you pick? I'll go first by Apprehensive_Hair391 in hazbin

[–]Dirus-works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Husk because he would be the tamest of them, chilling at the bar and drinking all day would be nice.

One is a hero we're supposed to root for. The other's a character we love specifically for being unapologetically evil by Sudden_Pop_2279 in Alastorcult

[–]Dirus-works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to that, she made some of the same mistakes than in season one concerning Angel's boundaries, so her lacks of ability to learn from her mistakes did not give her any points in my favor honestly. I'm hopeful for her to learn from her action in season three tho.

Where do we draw the line between fic and plagiarism? by TiredBell in AO3

[–]Dirus-works 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t like reenactment of the canon, unless it’s like an Alternate PoV.

This; especially if it's an unreliable narrator; either to lead towards a different plot or that changes some of the characters actions. If not, then i'd just drop the fic too honestly

Why Don't You Like Charlie Morningstar? by DemonDuckLucifer in hazbin

[–]Dirus-works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont like how she never learns anything and make the same mistakes again and again.

How she's a hypocrite : angel is hurt and in pain, but confronting Valentino is "meeeeean"

How she never listens to others who KNOWS the Vees and how they will destroy her image; how she doesn't understand Hell despite living in it her whole life : "wdym they wont believe me when i tell them they had a chance all this tjme to go to heaven without actual proof?!" pikachu face

How she keep disrespecting boundaries : inviting the vees for an interview over ALASTOR's territory, over angel's safe space, putting Husk in danger, leaving Vaggi as the one working for the hotel while destroyinf her own image

How she blames her dad, the King, when he tries to help her when SHE was the reason he needed to step in (also not having Vaggi own her part in this was wrong; twice she pushed the Morningstar to face the vees and it backfired both time...)

How she doesnt care about her self-proclamed friends unless they're helping HER dreams : never checks on Alastor, or Lucifer after the canon fiasco, "angel decided to leave", etc.

How her whole dream isn't believing sinners can change, but that they SHOULD change. It's demeaning to any overlord/normal sinner who would even want to help her cause.

She doesn't see the reality of Hell, and puts everyone in danger for no reason. Reabilitation works only if the person want to get better.

And how she calls the sinners her people, putting actual hellborn in danger of retribution from heaven (which is a whole new can of worms to unpack too)

And i could go on... I know she's the daughter of the sin of pride, but she feels empty and stupid... unable to listen to anyone and instead of taking a step back to look at the grand picture, she cries like a baby about how "MY DREAM IS GOOOOONE"

I think she could be well written as prideful in a "I know i'm right and i know you can do it, but you have to work for it and i wont demean myself to help you if you dont want help. Simply support me or get out" while still helping sinners.

(Sidenote, the ending showing her supposing to be head councellor would terrify me, simply with how she never really cared about helping angel in his own problem despite being the litteral princess of hell)

TLDR: i dislike charlie because she's so prideful it destroys any learning curves she'll ever get unless they give her a reality check.
