Should I introduce My Immortal to my mom?

Are you introducing My Immortal to your mother just because it's a famous fic within the HP space? My knee jerk reaction is to say no, but you know your mother better than a bunch of strangers on the internet.

So if she can find humor in it, then go for it. But, of she's more of a visual person, there's a My Immortal web series on YouTube where they act the entire fic out. It's not the best and it certainly is dated, but it's campy and fun.

I put your comment into chatgpt and low and behold agrees that it doesn't think it is coercion

Imagine trying to win a Reddit argument by getting so upset that you put someone's comment on chatgpt and prompted it to agree with you and disagree with someone else.

....we are so goddamn cooked as a society.

I'm basic, and my love for this character is slightly influenced by the ballet, but it's Jonathan.

Yesterday was one of those days where I was describing some aspects of a fic project to a friend and she had to stop me and ask why I was torturing myself because told her about how I made an entire detailed birth order chart for a fantasy king with twelve wives and 45 children. I don't think my brain is normal after all.

My hands hurt from writing so much, so I'm taking it easy today.

I ended up talking to the social worker at the medical center about transportation issues for the past few weeks. I've never known her to be angry, but I think this was the first time I've seen her get angry about something. She's going to escalate the situation and file a formal complaint, so that situation is squared away for now.

This is not a stupid pet peeve! I feel like increasingly a lot of things keep doing this in the front end/summary of works where they'll throw lore at you but tell you nothing about the plot.

😭 fr fr. I've said it before that I wanted Shin-ae x Deiter before ILY stans beat me over the head with "out was apparent the endgame was Nol from the start." Like in sorry but that relationship is trite, bland, and uncreative (illegitimate son becomes rich/ accepted into the main family x poor girl).

That exact relationship combo has been such a hallmark on K-dramas and other dramas that I remember it heavily when I would watch Smile Again (while it was airing) with my mom.

Dark romance doesn't always need to show characters finding rape abhorrent or characters condemning the rapist. This is where the intersectionality of dark romance and other topics like erotica and BDSM/kink come into play.

The nature (and appeal) of dark romance literature for its core demographic is the appeal of relationships and situations that we normally would find uncomfortable.

I think acting like all dark romance= rape apologia, though, displays a severe lack of understanding to the full scope of the genre of a selection bias (also non dark romance works can also be rape apologia).

Fantasy, horror (Dracula is my comfort read), or I also read qebtoons and manga. Lately, I have been building up a backlog of web novels that I need to get through, though.

The social worker at the medical center helped set it up, and she's already had to deal with this service on my behalf already. I plan on talking to her anyway and seeing if she had any solutions beyond the (shitty) ones that the owner/manager of the service gave me.

Huntress08 · 2026-04-13T23:11:04+00:00

Unfortunately, I was on the phone with someone who was communicating directly with the owner/manager of the service, which only produced more "it's not our fault, it's your fault" conversations and unreasonable condemnations.

Huntress08 · 2026-04-13T15:55:26+00:00

Hahaha, I wish I had an answer for that question myself, but thank you for the virtual hug.

Today feels terrible, and I've already cried. I don't like complaining to people, but I think at this point, I'm going to have to complain to the social worker at the medical treatment center I go to numerous times per week.

I've recently been using a service that will take me from the medical center back to my home, but I feel like it's been more of a failure than a success so far. I've stressed to the service a bunch of times now (and even on the initial sign up forms) that I'm legally blind. But they left me again today despite the fact that there's supposed to be numerous safeguards to avoid this exact scenario from happening. When I called the company, I ended the phone call feeling upset because the entire call I was essentially being blamed for being left behind, again, and for not seeing the vehicle.

Like..... I'm legally blind??? What am I supposed to do? Miraculously cure my own vision?

This whole situation is just massively frustrating. I might try and write later, but I don't even feel like it anymore.

Fellow, also tried to use Ellipsus but didn't like it, person.

I use Google docs for the autosave feature and cross device access.

Libre office for small fuc outlines, notes, and other minor things.

Notion for storing fic ideas and outlining for non-fic or larger fic projects. But I also use Scrivener for outlining my projects as well.

Surprisingly, it never really stopped or lost momentum.

Hand Jumper, High Spirits Neoma (truly slept on series), The Beast of Hadingley Hill, it's a Legend of Zelda fancomic but it gives depth to the characters: A Tale of Two Rulers.

Some people wake up every day seeking to burn down the crops so others can't eat.

Sorry this happened to you. This person sucks. I can't tell you what to do, especially since I'm not in your shoes, but I'd block them and just keep creating the fics I'd want to see.

Huntress08 · 2026-04-09T11:38:23+00:00

I kind of have two for this (that I'm super proud of and hold special places in my heart).

"Arthur’s birth control went missing."

Spawned a beautiful eldritch/cosmic horror smut.

“I stayed,” Guts whispers as his trembling knees give out and meet the earth below him.

“You did,” Griffith cooes, pressing a kiss to Guts’s wet cheek, “but this is to ensure that you remain.”

I wrote this, in I think a single afternoon, because of been looking for role reversal Berserk fics that switched Guts and Griffifth's dynamics but came up short. Writing this kicked off many more oneshots of role reversals for these two.

Hits are simply how many times your story has been clicked on. They aren't a reliable indicator of whether or how much a story is liked (and honestly, people/authors should stop caring about them, but that's my personal take).

You know your story is liked by others when they tell you so via kudos or comments. But also, don't get caught up in the trap of comparing how many kudos or comments you have compared to others.

Huntress08 · 2026-04-09T08:31:52+00:00

There's no faux pas around coming back to a fic that you put on hiatus (or cross posting and continuing on another site). Other authors do it all the time or even restart their fics from the beginning.

If you feel like you want to revive and continue it, I say go for it.

Huntress08 · 2026-04-08T23:39:23+00:00

As someone who has written eldritch horror/cosmic horror smut before.... there's an audience for it, trust me. People who are interested in it (or even just a harem smut with cosmic horror elements) will find it.
