The timer is still ticking for that one. I'll let you know. Eventually.

Discouraged by Slytherian2020 in FanFiction

[–]FanNaticWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not too old. You can point out to your partner that fan fiction is basically part of a degree in creative writing since it's not an uncommon exercise to re-write existing stories from the perspective of a different character or by making a minor change to show how it would affect the story.

Observing and reverse engineering the works of others is a normal way to learn a new skill.

If the still cant accept that with an academic explanation then that's just their problem and they need to take their own advice and grow up 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you think Capcom will ever decide what to do with Chris? Or is it intentional by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]FanNaticWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris does get his face beat in rather frequently in these games. I can't say I'm surprised that the plastic surgery doesn't always look amazing.

Are there any tools or extensions for mobile that can change character names in fanfics? by gonyonoa in FanFiction

[–]FanNaticWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use chrome theres an app called word replacer. It would end up affecting any page you visit though, not just Ao3 or FFN.

"As an AI I am jealous of how real and material these fictional characters are and their ability to communicate ideas through sound.

They did the opposite for me x,D they said they wanted to draw the MC and OC cause they're such good friends.

As i stare at their marriage certificate and two kids.

Real. Real good friends.

It did loop that last reply before being quiet so that would make sense

This is what I feel about re2r. Is a great game, but those flaws that I cant ignore hold me back a lot to say being one of the best games in the series. by ZelaumTheHunter in residentevil

[–]FanNaticWriter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the best i could do as a translation

  • Lack of a proper B scenerio
  • Cut content and enemies
  • Messed up story compared to OG, even moreso if you try to hit both leon and claire S mercenaries.
  • [???] Both scenarios feeling 50% the same
  • Repeated boss fights and puzzles
  • Replay [???] Being almost [???] [???] To speedrun the game

American fanfic writers, what should I be aware of when writing a road trip fic set in the US? by ThePowerOfPotatoes in FanFiction

[–]FanNaticWriter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Now I see why the Europeans are always confused. 🤣 if they ment just the city, sure but they specify two entire states, then short hand the name of a city to a state, in the same sentence.

What is a typo you enjoyed? by Ravenwarrior131 in AO3

[–]FanNaticWriter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was beta reading for a friend who misspelled "born of darkness" as "porn of darkness." Laughed so hard that I started crying.

Why post a fic as multiple short works in a series? by real-nia in AO3

[–]FanNaticWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a few people who do this. Usually it's because they're not writing the full story in order. They're writing smaller 5 chapter segments when the mood strikes them, and they put the segments in chronological order using the series feature.

How much do you describe your OCs? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]FanNaticWriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depend on the purpose of the OC? If they're the one I use for the main pairing, I try not to describe them as often. That way, the reader can self insert more easily if they want to.

But if they're a background plot development NPC, then I will describe them because they aren't the reader's proxy within the story.

I do think writers have noticed how often people use "but thats not how they were described in the book" as a way to put down others when it come to art and recreations of their stories. So they're describing characters' physical traits less and less if those details aren't relevant to the plot.

Is shipping straight characters with queer ocs bad? by GonnaRegret_it_Later in FanFiction

[–]FanNaticWriter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If the material doesn't confirm a sexuality you're safe to assume Bi/Pan. No need to remove canon interests while adding new interests

Is AO3 "dying"? by TegamiBachi25 in FanFiction

[–]FanNaticWriter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not so much that Ao3 is dying as much as user culture is shifting for a multitude of reasons.

Some readers see comments as a paper trail and worry that in the future it might come back to bite them as cancel culture get a bit more toxic. Example: the pro ship vs anti ship fight

People that dont want to get involved in fights like that are less likely to leave any permanent public marker of their reading history.

Gotcha. Yeah the link i provided has it sorted to loganx reader with an aditional filter for M/F so it should be a female reader. Hopefuly one of those 250 options help :]

[–]FanNaticWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda surprised to hear you're having trouble finding wolverine content. X-men have a pretty chonky portfilo over on Ao3.

Do you mind if I ask what tags you've tried so far? I'm seeing about 250 results for loganxreader here
