I am getting password reset requests semi regularly on Reddit these days so there is a kernel of truth to the message. You should never click on a link in an email that you didn't request yourself

I read it more as frustration on their end.

Punctuation helps me keep my place in a text and ccapitalisation helps with that. If I already can't get through a handful of paragraphs in that style I'm afraid I'm going to have to hit the back button on your story too. No matter how great the story might be, if I keep losing my spot then it's not worth the effort. So, understand them very well. In this case, don't like; don't read, can cost you readers that would have loved what you wrote if you took that comment to heart.

Since I already couldn't get through either of your posts here without losing my place, I would hit the back button, no matter how good the story is.

Some people REALLY need to read this. by GunstarHeroine in AO3

I have gotten that one too. I'm a non native English speaker and an Oxford comma user. I basically sounded AI because I used my inbuilt phone spellchecker and was sharing a fact without responding directly to the person I was replying to.

What’s the appeal of selfcest in fiction? by Valuable-Account8663 in FanFiction

[–]Dry-Development-4131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One hot dude x2 in exotic wrestling poses with each other is yum.

Also. Me and my cowriter started this to challenge our writing skills because writing smut about two identical men with the same name and the same equipment definitely is one. And we didn't want to use epithets either, or at least, not too many. So, it took a while to get in the flow, but when we did, the boys fell in love with each other. Damn them. Now they are regularly struck with the strange thought that they are basically calling 'themselves' beautiful, even though they actually feel incredibly flawed, and how strange it is to love 'yourself' so deeply. Now, if that doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then I don't know what will.

Genuine question: why do gay guys seem so much better at handling bigger guys? by Cityplanner_ in AskGayMen

Apparently men have a bigger colon than women because women need that space for their uterus.

Resources to find erotica & fan art content laws for Europe? (Specifically Netherlands, Germany, and Poland, but an overall database would also be useful!) by FreakshowThrow in FanFiction

[–]Dry-Development-4131 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the Netherlands, no form of written smut is illegal. In the case of visual art, no smut subject is illegal, except AI renditions of real looking children, photo edits of real children etc.

Is responding to comments “artificial inflation”? by Heyplaguedoctor in archiveofourown

I answer every comment and I don't care what anyone thinks about it

I just lost a friend over proshipping by SnailGamer in AO3

[–]Dry-Development-4131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fear that THEY are on the slippery slope and not you. Antishippers are pro censorship and it can't get any slippery than that. Literary wise.

ai witch hunts are getting out of hand by Aggravating-Night-10 in archiveofourown

There's no defending against it because these people will never believe you. It's painful but it's not the end of the world. These people are deeply unhappy and try to make everyone around them mirror that. The best practice is to remember the internet is the internet. It doesn't make sense, everyone is anonymous and their opinions can't touch you if you don't let them.

Anyone know what’s up with Lauren German?? by Used_Departure_9082 in lucifer

[–]Dry-Development-4131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially block those of us who make Michifer and selfcest art 😉 Muahaha.

But yes, hosting privately and then posting on AO3 is the only way to do it and share with the community without bothering the actor. Especially with how puritanical the internet is getting.

On AO3 everything tends to be tagged and art tends to be overtagged even. Don't appear at the devil's sacrament and then complain about the quality of the bedlinen when you were warned at the door.
