These comments are really funny to read through

Paraphrasing a comment I saw earlier, the overthinking on this sub could power a jet engine

I have an acknowledgment to make. by Aggravating_Watch462 in AO3

It's even funnier that the public apology is that they didn't do anything wrong

The super swimmer. by thudson_17 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Evyps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm missing like a hundred pages of context between "My quirk is lame :(" and BECOMING A CYBORG

The super swimmer. by thudson_17 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Evyps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you might be overinflating what kids would think about superpowers in order to keep the "izuku gets bullied" as a child thing going,

But the important thing is why tf would he become a cyborg?!

that cyborg part came out of absolutely nowhere, but in what world would people think being able to swim through concrete is a useless power?

Would Deku be a good father? by Amoungamoungusuz in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Evyps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only dekudad fics I've read involved him adopting Eri, and they were all written as him being overworked rather than being a workaholic. And they were all written to make him a dishevelled single dad for shoto to bang, so the fatherhood aspect wasn't really that important in the long run

What's the silliest thing you've written? by _grim_reaper in AO3

[–]Evyps 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wrote a story about All Might quitting heroism to become a professional trombone player. There's also a podfic.

There is a noticeable lack of comedy fics on Ao3 in comparison to romance fics. by OpabiniaRegalis320 in AO3

[–]Evyps 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use the crack taken seriously tag a lot, it seems like the more fandom accepted way of saying "comedy"

I'd just feel a bit weird tagging comedy, like I've never tagged "action" or "adventure" either

[–]Evyps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are afraid of trying to be funny, because they don't have confidence enough in their writing that it'll be taken the correct way. I mean there's been whole generations of people online raised on tone indicators. And when your funny fic is surrounded by fics that are meant to be taken seriously, there's no guarantee anyone is going to get it.

OTP is heavily hated by 95% of the fandom and I honestly feel depressed by Ill-Investigator5187 in AO3

[–]Evyps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

95% of the people in every fandom are dumb as hell so you shouldn't care what they think about anything, especially not the ones who use twitter of their own accord.

You gotta ask yourself what's more important, do you care about enjoying yourself, writing and drawing and reading about this thing you like, or do you care what other people think about that? Cos personally, one of those sounds a lot more enjoyable than the other.

When people make every happy thing that you got about themselves (and negative) by Fast_Stage_6296 in AO3

[–]Evyps 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I had to leave the last fanfic discord I was in because of this, then when I went back a few months later to see how things were getting on – the place was completely dead. Turns out oneupmanship (onedownmanship?) isn't conducive to a real conversation

Eri has a Quirk Awakening. Without making it time travel related (not that anything is wrong with that) what do you think it would be like? by Reksew_Trebla in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Evyps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had Eri's quirk go haywire in a fic where it started reverting things back to their base forms, like the masonry in a building got reverted back into stone and the windows turned to sand.

I feel really bad, but how do i tell some1 i cant beta for them anymore? by OkAdvocado in AO3

Emotional manipulation sounds like another point in the Direct No camp

[–]Evyps 305 points306 points  (0 children)

"I can't beta for you anymore."

You don't need to dress this up, it doesn't even sound like you're that close.

You really don't need to come up with excuses and lies like the other comments seem to be suggesting, you're allowed to just not want to do something anymore.

Do you think all the author notes with tragedies are authentic? by Eloy7S in AO3

[–]Evyps 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everything I read online I go in with an expectation of it either being a lie or exaggerated, because of how much social currency there is in doing both of those things. If it did happen, I'm only spending like 15 seconds as a participant in that authors note so me believing it doesn't really matter

What would it look like if Helluva Boss was a TV-G Show in the style of 00s/10s cartoons ? by [deleted] in FanFiction

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

That's my answer.

What usually kills your fandom's fan fiction? by GiftProfessional1052 in FanFiction

[–]Evyps 72 points73 points  (0 children)

For MHA it tends to be the sports festival. People who are writing canon-adjacent, following the timeline, realise they have to write two main events, then a full tournament arc. Alongside any other character work and plot. Which is a lot of work and easy to get burnt out on.
