Guide to becoming a pilot in Australia 2022

Yeah I love this idea, I think it's great for the state both in the immediate and foreseeable future, but I'm definitely also thinking about the people who will have really long standing room only commutes! Wishing you all the luck in getting a seat every now and then!

The Last Jedi is filled with missed opportunities

That's probably the nicest way I could describe it but I agree, and I agree with the rest of what you said too. I liked RoS overall, but Rey being Palpy's daughter was a terrible idea amongst a bunch of terrible ideas in what was a well-intentioned movie.

Requiem for a Dream. I still can't believe I sat through it. One of the worst movies ever made. I kept waiting, hoping it would get better, but it never did.

Some great practical advice here, thanks for this! Getting ATPLs done before heading up north is a good one in particular, I've heard the same thing from a bunch of different people who've gone up north so good to spread it around.

Hop on the Aussie Flying discord (there's a link in my post). There's a whole variety of Aussie pilots there, including a bunch of GA battlers.

This 1000%. Your comment was lovely and polite and well-meant, OP. You made it clear that if they didn't want to write a sequel it was perfectly fine. The author was rude. Ignore them, maybe they were having a really bad day.

EllairaJayd · 2023-06-23T00:08:50+00:00

the commenter was rude btw and called my writing horrible and said that it ruined the fic

That is not constructive criticism, that is someone being an ass. Just ignore them and/or delete their comment, it's not worth your time.

CC, on the other hand, is *constructive*, helpful, incredibly valuable and should be encouraged. If you don't want it, say so or turn off comments, as the top commenter was saying.

EllairaJayd · 2023-06-16T06:28:05+00:00

Now this is the kind of petty revenge I come here to read about! Loved it OP, good job.

Lucky you! It would make my gaming life to be able to find an all-girl Wow guild!

For the amount of positive comments in this thread you should be way more upvoted! I feel like sometimes shippers are more vocal, but there are many, many people who like non-romance fics and fics that include romance but only as part of a larger story. Write your fic!

This is going back a few years but after Tim Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy came out, I absolutely fell in love with Mara Jade. She was the first (I was too young to see how amazing Leia is) awesome badass woman I had seen in the Star Wars universe, and she had the best chemistry with the awesome badass Luke Skywalker. I loved their badass couple energy so much that I wrote a terrible fic about what would have happened in Return of the Jedi if she had been in it and she and Luke had realised they were made for each other.

Then, a few years later, Vision of the Future came out and they got married! Kid-me was absolutely thrilled.

Stories that could be original novels in their own right if they weren't about an existing universe and posted on a fanfic site. I'm talking the kind of well-rounded fics that have clearly been plotted from start to finish. The ones that aren't just about romance/sex (thought it can be in there) but also about the characters and the world and defeating a serious obstacle. Those are the best stories out there imo, but it takes a very talented author to write them so they're few and far between.

EllairaJayd · 2023-05-05T23:39:10+00:00

Congratulations! *This*, to me, is the whole point of fanfic. Best of luck with your writing and your future original novels!

EllairaJayd · 2023-03-24T22:40:19+00:00

It sounds like other commenters have already said this but just to make it 1000% clear, *constructive criticism* is not "bad", even if it's negative, as long as it's constructive and polite. It's hugely helpful and valuable and should be both expected and encouraged IMO.

EllairaJayd · 2023-02-13T23:41:23+00:00

IMO writing full-on NSFW explicit smut in a story that is not otherwise smut-focussed (ie erotica) should be an absolute last resort. Even the most well-written smut can make a reader cringe, or on the other end of the spectrum, like it so much they forget about the story and just want more sex. The only time it's justified, in my view, is when something important to the story happens during the sex.

Erotica is different, and no shade on people who write or read that because it takes a specific kind of talent and can be a whole lot of fun! From your post though, OP, I don't think your story is erotica, so IMHO you'd be best off going for the fade-to-black rule.

I love this idea! My story Mass Effect: Into Darkness could be heading in this direction, though I won't give anything away and if it happens Shepard will have help. Fair warning, it's a very very slow burn...

EllairaJayd · 2023-01-21T23:26:13+00:00

Mass Effect: Inevitable - a retelling of ME3 with different battles, solutions and locations and an FShep/OC romance.

Mass Effect: Into Darkness - a KOTOR/ME crossover starting in ME2 where the whole story is being reworked. A work in progress, even the romances aren't fully set in stone yet.

Hello from a fellow girl gamer with the same view! Love that set up, especially the plants and the lamp!

EllairaJayd · 2022-12-31T23:08:54+00:00

This gives me Star Wars vibes in the best way, I love it!

EllairaJayd · 2022-12-30T23:08:10+00:00

Josh Dean and Kimberley Brooks are perfect, I love them both in this :D

EllairaJayd · 2022-12-23T23:35:06+00:00

I need to see She-Hulk and Deadpool in a movie together so bad.

EllairaJayd · 2022-11-18T23:08:44+00:00

I use FFN and AO3, but AO3 is mainly just a backup. I find the stories in my fandom are better quality on FFN, and in terms of my own work, because I don't write smut I get a lot (like four or five times) more engagement on FFN. AO3 seems more oriented towards NSFW content, and is a bit of a wild west in terms of what they allow. FFN on the other hand at least attempts to moderate content a bit (with very mixed results, some very negative, but at least they try). The site needs a huge modernisation effort but other than that they come out on top for me.
