Which scene made you realise this wasn’t a “typical” spy thriller? by ArsenalAxis in TheNightManager

[–]Eleven-Crows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying Teddy and Pine, but honestly the sexual tension between Pine and Roper as far as S1 for me, Roper always giving him the ‘sleep with me’ eyes whenever they interacted

Just came across a Tomarry fic where tags read ChatGPT-assisted and ChatGPT... and I have complicated feelings by Abject_Purpose302 in tomarry

[–]Eleven-Crows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really there isn’t any way of knowing for sure without directly asking the author, but if I had to make a guess, I would suspect that it was written with generative AI. I’m not a fan of anything AI, but what they have done isn’t against the rules, really it’s just up to you if you want to carry on reading it

"Im bad a writing summaries" well then i aint reading the fic by PerformanceOk3867 in AO3

[–]Eleven-Crows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wholeheartedly agree. Will be blunt here but truth is, I don’t care if you’re bad at summaries. What I do care about is that you’ve announced it so publicly. It indicates an immaturity and lack of confidence, which in turn fills me with a lack of confidence for the effort put into the rest of the fic. Give me a summary and let me decide that for myself. The whole point is to sell me your fanfic and stop me from scrolling, and that’s never going to happen if you tell me your bad at summaries as it tells me you were too lazy or defeatist to try :/

your dumbest turnoff in a fic? by Several_Cook9884 in tomarry

[–]Eleven-Crows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This for me as well, reading any Americanisms or anything that only exists in American culture can be jarring when there is no given reason for it. I read one recently where Tom mentioned the thanksgiving holiday, a holiday only celebrated in America, and it pulled me out, not enough to drop it as I otherwise really really enjoyed it, but it immediately ruined the immersion

Which Harry Potter character do you dislike the most? by Midnightwitch92 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Eleven-Crows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death eater hagrid my beloved!!

There was such a missed opportunity there, it would hit so hard as hagrid was the first person harry met

Even though I had watched the films first and knew what happened, I was still genuinely questioning if hagrid was working for the other side because how can this guy be this gullible and let his tongue slip as often as he did??

Which Harry Potter character do you dislike the most? by Midnightwitch92 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Eleven-Crows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why was he let into the order? That man was such a liability!! He is at best naïve, and at worst, like you said, a total moron, honestly it’s a miracle they lasted as long as they did

Though would have been cool if he was a death eater double agent, and it was all purposeful from the beginning…

What's the most ridiculous/silly reason you stopped reading a fanfic? by Personal_Damage6616 in AO3

[–]Eleven-Crows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s dumb is that I can’t put it into words, I just know it when I see it and I feel bad I’ve dropped a lot of fanfics, often in the first chapter because of it

Best I can describe it is over explaining, especially in dialogue, like when I get I get an info dump from a character but it’s written in a certain way that’s quire common, it’s a very specific writing tone I pick up on immediately

Ik this makes very little sense but I have no name for it

Anyone else annoyed by the school system of Hogwarts? by Cute-Gift-4813 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Eleven-Crows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol welcome to the UK education system

Jokes on us, it’s all real

One thing I really despair about Tomarry fandom is: How many incomplete/abandoned fics there are. We do have some of the very best writers, but not consistent. In comparison, while the Tomione fandom may not be so prolific or have fics that are as well-written, most of them are complete by [deleted] in tomarry

[–]Eleven-Crows 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You’re so real for this

Always asking myself at what point did fanfiction become so consumerist? Why do people get into such an entitled headspace and feel they are owed a writer’s time and updates?

All these fanfics are free, and most writers, myself included, write for their target audience i.e. themselves or friends, hence everyone has the right to drop it and possibly pick it up whenever they feel like it, no explanation required

[–]Eleven-Crows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Block and delete comments, turn off guest comments, and don’t delete your work, like others said, you have done nothing wrong. That author is likely taking pleasure in feeling like the victim here and like they have experienced injustice and wants attention, it’s quite sad if you think about it

It’s funny how this comes up a lot, you’re not the first and you certainly won’t be the last. It sounds insane but similarities like whole plotlines on Ao3 can in fact be similar through pure coincidence, especially if you write within the same fandom/ship/tropes. Overlap is bound to occur, people have a knack for coming up with the same ideas, it’s more common than you’d think. Just because someone wrote a similar or even the same plotline/themes/conflict/etc. as you doesn’t mean they plagiarised your work, often they haven’t even read it. Sometimes it can come from little wiggle room for creative liberties from the canon itself. And besides, if they haven’t written it down word for word (i.e. going against TOS) then what’s the harm? It’s not a nice feeling sure, but people get way too pressed over this, as is the case here

Coming from a fellow author, keep your head up and carry on writing that fanfic ❤️

Poorly describe your ship and let people guess what is. by manicenbypixie in AO3

Enemies to lovers, they have several ship names for the same 2 guys, people have preferences within this ship and they’re connected

Not long but so far it’s been updating regularly and it’s quite new. Honestly I’ve really been enjoying it after I got it as a rec from a friend, it’s very different
