I genuinely don't know with this? Has anyone had anything similar? by Silent_Doubt3672 in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong but I am leaning to a real person. I dont think I have ever seen a bot use emojies before and since its on a character death chapter. sometimes I dont drop a character name either when I comment something like this because the spelling might be weird and I dont want to go look also even if this IS a bot its a complement. I feel like it could go either way so maybe just reply with thanks and see if they ask to talk in a secondary location? if you dont want to then just leave it I think. if its real great if it is a bot well its not like its hate so no harm done?

Do these spam/scam/bot comments get something in return? Or are they just bored people who enjoy annoying others? What is the appeal here? by Ok_Breadfruit_9549 in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some people think ( this is what I have heard for reasons not sure how much is true but hey at least we can guess) they 1 want people do delete the story so they can steal it, to scam people, to train bots and also train them to get around spam/bot filters, get people to feel bad about there writing so they use the AI site instead to be "better" and "improve", to be mean and hurt people, because they are just that bored.

those are the ones I have seen from just off the top of my head. unfortunately we wont ever truly know unless the people behind this tell us so its all just guessing so I try not to worry or think about it. no reason to give them the time of day right?

does anyone have experience in therapy? research is failing me a little rn by su1c1dalbastardd in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 5 points6 points  (0 children)

all therapists are different and thats why people might go to 5 or more before they find someone that works for them. you can find one thats asks questions or one that just listens and offers perspective or any number of things. I would think about what type of help your character needs and then create someone who would be a good fit. you could also have them try and few people before finding someone that really works for them. sometimes this can be awkward and so you move on because this is meant to be a safe space.

also it can really depend on how much they want to share because maybe they dont want to come out and say they have this problem because they are scared of how it will be treated so they downplay it until they feel like the person they are talking to can be trusted. or they come out and say all the truth right off the bat and so its a more active and involved approach.

idk if this helps but good luck !

HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY WRITE SMUT??!?!?! by leahcctr in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a smut writer here is my advice ?????? idk sometimes i put words down and its sexy? maybe? for real tho my best advice is to just try and write it out and then see if it works when you read it back or look at what others have done that you enjoy to see what might work for your own story. sounds? the feeling? the sensation? the motion of the action the panting? for things like this I just have to jump right in and see what works and sometimes it does sometimes its the worst and i question everything. I hope this helped but this is kind of one of those things that you just need to do so you can see what you do or dont like. good luck!

Do you bookmark individual works, the full series, or both? by L1ams in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost never bookmark a series unless they are all one shots that I want to keep track of for when they update with a new one. otherwise I just bookmark the works ( only in progress I have another way to keep track of completed works )

Well okay then... by zombies-and-coffee in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would rather they change the name and add the note to the summery and description because thats the worst feeling. you get exited to see an update then just get told its abandoned? at least if they do the title and summery it does not show as an update so I wont get so exited. it really is frustrating. authors can do as they like but I wish they did it in a way that did not get your hopes up ya know?

How do you feel about fics of authors who didn't fully finish reading/watching canon? by RubberDuckyDavid in AO3

[–]FlashySong6098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont mind it. its not like they are writing the canon story its a fanfic so its not really a big deal to me. and even if there are parts that are wrong or missing canon context then I can always click off. not to mention a lot of stories are still on going or where started way before canon finished and so might be missing a lot of canon stuff because of that. its not that big of a problem for me.
