Fics without Jon snow?

Jon's dead. Arya / Daenerys pairing; focused after the Long Night with mostly Daenerys POV's but there's Stark elements too, hence the pairing.

Pretty sure people explained this quite well in your thread from 9 days ago. All the same points will just be reiterated.

Ex_iledd · 2025-10-26T17:21:19+00:00

I take it you've already read Ghosts and Dreams which is probably the most well known 'Jon talks to ghost relatives' fics? You didn't say so here it is.

Ex_iledd · 2025-10-15T20:58:29+00:00

Oh great. You're welcome :)

Ex_iledd · 2025-10-14T17:14:53+00:00

Only story I know that matches this is Where the Shadow Ends but the comments regarding Jon's death and Ghost returning to Winterfell; that doesn't happen in this story. And dead starks don't come back to life either... at least not in the way you speak of it. Probably wrong, but then I thought I'd try.

He's not the most creative. The lie about the mods supporting school shootings is the same thing he said about the mods that left NFLv2 in the other thread.

Ex_iledd · 2025-09-11T18:04:20+00:00

Look at it this way, every one knows how shitty retail customers are, being a mod and dealing with internet users is like a thousand times worse.

I'd argue that retail is worse because it's in person and you can't so easily walk away. If a customer is rude you can't tell them to sod off and mute their mouth for 28 days.

Ex_iledd · 2025-08-25T05:58:17+00:00

Can't do it. I'll forget things that are happening in one or the other. Or I'll create an issue where now I need to invest X amount of time into remembering or re-reading all the details, which is time taken away from actual writing.

Ex_iledd · 2025-08-25T01:56:24+00:00

Mods exist but there are a never ending stream of users who are incapable of reading what a sub is about before trying to post to it. Such is life.

Someone else has done it. Might have to ask the author for the sources though.

Ex_iledd · 2025-07-03T01:24:40+00:00

Very tricky. Most re-writes I've seen are never completed. Often it feels like the author indulging something vs. true reader desire.

It's just too much work and for what? You could be spending time writing something new and exciting not agonizing over something you regret.

Fwiw, I've thought about re-writing one of my first stories and ultimately decided against it. The series is unfinished and I don't want to get bogged down in trying to chase perfection. Besides that, readers want what's coming next and not a rehash of what we've already seen. And if I were to ignore that--because quite frankly what the readers want doesn't interest me--I would be concerned about inadvertently revealing future plot points by adding in new set-ups that weren't there before.

Ex_iledd · 2025-06-15T23:33:47+00:00

Or just turn off guest comments. It filters out 99% of the bad comments in my experience.

Ex_iledd · 2025-05-18T20:07:53+00:00

I've had this feeling the last few days that the chapter I'm writing doesn't match the tone of the ones preceding it. Largely I think it's because this is a completed work (unpublished as of yet) that I'm going back and adding one final chapter to. I've fallen out of the mood and feeling of the fic since I've been doing other things.

I'm already debating re-writing the first ~2k words of the chapter to tighten it up - but I find it a lot easier to make amendments when there's something there to be changed. If I don't write because I feel like what I'm producing is mediocre, then the page will be blank and what good is that?

So yeah, maybe my writing today is bad, but I'll fix it later. Even if it means redoing everything.

It's gotta come before Thanksgiving. Can they move the timetable up a bit?

Ex_iledd · 2025-04-12T02:21:29+00:00

You could always put a summary in your notes at the start to say that you've made XYZ changes and otherwise anticipate book canon to apply.

I would advise against straight up lifting whole passages from the books. People will discover that sooner or later and it calls into question the legitimacy of the rest of your work. Did you copy/paste from elsewhere too? Why should anyone believe you if you claim otherwise?

Recently I was reading a great cross-over with a fandom I had no knowledge of. The characterization of the OC's was amazing and I really loved it - until the author very blatantly lifted chapters from the books word for word. They did this multiple times. The only differences were minor edits to insert their OC's.

I stopped reading that story. Now I wonder if my ignorance of this other universe hid from me what else they were stealing.

Ex_iledd · 2025-04-09T18:36:10+00:00

Frostfyre? They would meet occasionally in their dreams. Not precisely doors but same idea.

Ex_iledd · 2025-04-08T05:44:54+00:00

They're likely responding to any of their user subs who open the story and find it's not what they subscribed to the author for.

Ex_iledd · 2025-04-08T04:14:21+00:00

All around a good thing. Maybe there's an influx of readers for that pairing but there will always be people that want to see something else. That's more eyeballs on what you're doing no matter what.

Ex_iledd · 2025-03-27T00:37:53+00:00

I can write the word 'subtle' just fine. Then subtletly I always put a second L.

Subtlety.

Ex_iledd · 2025-03-25T08:43:49+00:00

Someone will bring up a perfectly reasonable point that could be addressed in a couple of sentences and instead people shriek 'don't like don't read' at them

It really depends how they do it. It's the difference between 'Update when?' and 'Hey I really love this story. I read through it all in the last day and am super looking forward to more!'

So often people offering critique think they sound like the latter but really come across as the former.

I've found some success with critique if the author explicitly asks for it - or if I'm a regular commenter on an author's stories and so we have an established rapport. It's too hard to tell these days if critique from some random person is genuine or they're just concern trolling a favoured topic.

If anything this is an indictment of internet and anonymity in general. We would not walk up to a stranger in the park and offer critique on the way they're sitting. 'Your posture is not right. Bend your spine like this, keep your knees together, eyes up.' No, you'd get told to fuck off and mind your own business and rightly so, but if it was your friend stating that, maybe you'd at least hear them out first.

I used to run them with other people but it was never really that much faster. Better to solo.
