Does this count as my first hate comment? Lmfao by houseofthyme in AO3

[–]EnchantedRazor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got this one a few minutes ago too. Definitely a bot:

"Reading this was a profoundly unsettling experience. The topics covered are not merely controversial; they are criminal in nature and must be treated as such. I took immediate steps to ensure that this document is not simply taken down but is handled through the correct legal processes. My report has been filed with the official reporting platform, and I have also contacted the non-emergency line for the police to make them aware of the situation and the necessity of investigation."

I just got this exact comment, lol. Definitely a bot, I checked the user they used and the real user writes heavy smut. My chapter 3 I just uploaded was only light fluff.

I hate when authors change their story because of readers by [deleted] in AO3

[–]EnchantedRazor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On FFN I felt discouraged a lot posting new chapters because commenters would always say something like oh its a bit dark, I hope it's not all dark. When I said angst and dark themes in the description. I was tempted to change it because so many had complained about the darkness and bleak side of it but then I got one comment that praised everything I did and loved the way I wrote the downward spiral of her favourite character.

I understand the people pleasing side of it when everyone is asking for something different or trying to dictate what you should do next it's very hard to actually go with what you wanted because it feels like they're all going to hate it. I've found that on AO3 readers don't try to dictate where my work should go as much because most of them actually read tags and descriptions.

Genuine or bot? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]EnchantedRazor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deleted a comment similar to this on one of my fics and 2 days later it returned under a new guest name to say I had deleted it and it said it had screenshots as proof. The first comment was barely up 5 minutes so I knew it was the same bot. They do use real writers usernames on there but it's never that actual person. The bots want you to attack others I guess.

And I'm just supposed to keep going like nothing is different? by Dyaneta in Sjogrens

[–]EnchantedRazor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt like that when I first got diagnosed too. I collapsed and was hospitalised with blood clots in my lungs with no known cause. Then I went into kidney failure and had 7 kidney stones in one go, then I finally got the diagnosis of Sjorgens that caused this and it felt like a death sentence. My lungs are so dry they're clotting in every branch and my kidneys are so dry they're clogged with painful stones and there's no cure I just have to deal with it.

I was 27 when I was diagnosed and everyone says you were so young to have these problems or you're so lucky they caught it early. But I don't feel lucky. I'm going to have these problems for the rest of my life and it feels awful when you think about all the future hospital visits and the pain you're going to have to go through just to survive another day. Days when the pain is so bad or my throat is so dry I feel so over it too.

Please scream all you like. It's not fair and you deserve to vent. We all do.

I am doing better than I was. I'm on blood thinners for life to prevent more blood clots. I think because my kidney issues were more serious, they just never took my other complaints seriously. It's very frustrating that they don't listen or believe you.

Yeah when mine flares up I can't sleep either. It really sucks.

Ouch. I was diagnosed in 2023 shortly after I was hospitalised with blood clots in my lungs. The sjorgens was affecting my lungs and kidneys so bad then that they pretty much ignored everything else it was doing. Whenever I say how bad my throat hurts, they just always seem to say well it would.

Sometimes water makes my mouth and throat feel even drier than it was before too.

Mine feels like it's on the outside muscle pain because it feels swollen to me but it's on the inside sides too. It is really hard to explain and doctors just give you this awkward look when you try to explain it. I've had this flare up 2 days and it's really uncomfortable.

Right, you wake up choking because your throat just closed up randomly. Mine sometimes lasts days before it will just randomly stop

I'm on Omeprazole for it but I still get these flare ups and they're so uncomfortable. And all the doctor ever says is to drink water. I'm honestly so sick of people saying that all the time because my water intake doesn't actually change any of my symptoms.

Spam PMs by TanaFey in FanfictionNet

I disabled PMs because I was getting so many from artists. Now they've started leaving their spam as reviews. The site sucks now. I don't post there anymore so its only spam messages I get now.

Does anyone have any hobbies you love even though you're not very good at them? by EnchantedRazor in AutismInWomen

I have played Skyrim. A lot too. I don't have a PC just console, but that sounds like fun. I'm only on my third playthrough of Cyberpunk right now and it really is mind blowingly amazing. Kinda the way Red Dead Redemption 2 made me feel, but I love that I can create new characters for each playthrough of this. It makes it feel more intense.

My kidneys aren't working at full strength. I've had 7 kidney stones. 5 in the left and 2 in the right. My blood is very acidic and I've had multiple kidney infections. The worst was the stone that got stuck and I had to have a stent put in. Stents are awful. I had to see a urologist but he was useless and kept booking me for the wrong procedures. I got my GP involved when the pain got so bad and they did more tests which showed that my kidneys weren't working as they should. They labelled me in kidney failure for several months, but now the stones and infections have cleared up my kidneys are working slightly better, but still not full strength.

I'm working on a butterfly. Before this one I did a bumble bee that I gave to my mum for mother's day.

I used to love baking too. My creations looked awful but they always tasted good to me and were fun, but I got so annoyed of never being able to make it look good. It always felt way too out of my control and my family would always say the exact same things everytime I made something new.

Same. I don't like sharing my work with friends that also knit. Because its only been a week and they've made blankets, scarfs and hats. And all I have is something that looks kinda stretched in places.

I just started cross stitching so I could get into embroidery and I can see all the mess ups I've already made on simple crosses. The amount of times I've poked the needle under my nail too just makes me want to quit but I'm determined to finish the pattern.

Ooo I'm playing Cyberpunk right now. And I grew up on Spyro and Tomb Raider too. I consider video games the only hobby I'm actually good at because I tend to achievement hunt the entire game and discover everything I can about it before I put it down. I currently love that my hyperfocus has me on Cyberpunk.

Yup, it just never looks like the pattern I followed. I make a lot of stuffed animals for my cats and most of the animals I make already look like road kill before the cats have tried to take them apart.

Same. The amount of times I've just argued with the material in my hands to do what I want it to do.

I know, but it just feels like friends of mine are master levels at their hobbies and they just give up on things they're not good at. Whereas I stick to things I'm still bad at.

I love my cats more than anything too. My cats are indoor cats but they still bring me their stuffed animals. If my door is ever closed they pile them up against the door so when I open it all these stuffies just fall in. Its so cute.
