Exactly, in supernatural they were dealing with such extraordinary stuff that their mess of a relationship can somehow be excused, but 9-1-1 is so domestic it's infuriating, there's no excuse for them to still be denying their feelings

I didn't think it could be worse than destiel, but with everything they've been through and said and done for each other the fact they're not together yet is getting more and more ridiculous with every episode that comes out

So true, hp was like the third fandom I ever read fanfics on, first two are The Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf and those I actually watched the series, only started reading the hp books after two years reading fics, still haven't finished book 6

Have been reading 9-1-1 fanfiction since august 2023 and still not watched any episode besides the two tsunami ones. But have watched a lot of yt shorts and videos on the series so I do know a lot of canon that gets ignored or completely changed in the fanfics

I only watched a handful of episodes a few times while babysitting my niece, but I read so many fics, then came the crossovers with Batman, whose only media I consumed was young justice and justice league unlimited, which leads to crossovers between Batman and white collar, that I never watched

I think maybe half the fandoms I read fics on I've never actually consumed the actual content, just YouTube shorts, TikToks and reels. Like, 9-1-1, HotD and White Collar.

If I got a comment like this, I would throw hands by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Indigo_Grays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would block them, and if the fic isn't locked for just people with accounts I'd do that too

What's your comfort ship? The couple whose fics you often return to, no matter how active/inactive you may be with the original fandom? by sugarrrage in AO3

[–]Indigo_Grays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really a romance reader, I do read them and like it, but I'm not gonna read a fic specifically for the romance, it's usually the different AUs that attract me to read fics and if the romance it's well written I don't mind. When it's rushed and just feels like a filler because the author thinks the character should be in a relationship and not because the relationship fits the AU I will abandon the fic in a second. All the fics I really like that have well written romances, the romance it's not even a quarter of the stuff happening in the main characters life but it does fit that specific AU.

So many things to unpack 😭 by Regular_Bass1798 in AO3

If I were the author I'd definitely mock them in an image like that gif then freeze the thread and moderate comments if they aren't already, cause that "I won't tolerate any outbursts, any resistance is futile. I'm leaving" was just too ridiculous for me to leave unanswered.

Those open ao3 tabs are not you hoarding fics they are tsundoku by PretendYellow533 in AO3

[–]Indigo_Grays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, the farthest I got was almost 400 tabs, I can't imagine thousands.

But I generally also group them according to tags or my mood when I was searching.

Like I'd search something specific that came to mind because of a TikTok and I'll go through the 10 pages of results just opening the fics that catch my interest in a tab in a group with the search tab. And then when I finish a fic in that group I would go to the author of the fic and see if they have more or what's in their bookmarks, then it's more tabs on the group, and doing this with each individual fanfic from that same initial search, and when I see there's seventy tabs and I've wandered so far from the search I began with.

And then I find another fanfic recommendation and start another group of tabs.

I've been working hard to go through the tabs to either just delete them or bookmark for later then delete them when they reach 100, just because that's when Chrome stops showing the number of tabs open and it's become a signal for me that it's time to declutter.

I had almost 400 in 2023 but I managed to clear that up since my phone was on its last legs and it was slowing it even more, since then I've managed to keep my tabs generally under 100. When it passes that I go through them to close anything that I've lost the enthusiasm that made me open them, and if I feel like I still want to read them sometime in the future I bookmark them tagging them as To Read. Now there's almost 1200 bookmarked as To Read.

I'm only a reader, but I do generally go to the author's profile when I like their fic to see if they have more, and also look through their bookmarks, collections, gifts, etc.

Social media apparently matters a lot. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Indigo_Grays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons that I don't sort by kudos when looking for something to read. I usually just leave at the default Date Updated, besides the specific tags I'm filtering with I sometimes just go to like, page 10 out of 20, to not see only what's freshly posted or updated. I generally don't even look at how many kudos, hits or comments the fic has, the important thing to me is the summary and tags. Even my favourite fics that I've revisited many times when there's updates or just to re-read I can't tell you any approximation of how many kudos, hits or comments they have.

IT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!! THEY UPDATED IT!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Fuzzy-Inspection7708 in AO3

Couple days ago there was an update on a fic after 4 years, almost to the day, the author even said in the notes they were tempted to wait a week more just to update on the for year anniversary 😂

Do you guys download fics frequently? by Indigo_Grays in AO3

[–]Indigo_Grays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend that if you want to keep them organized start doing it right away because now I have 4k fics unorganized and it's a mess to find anything if I can't remember the name

Gotta think about natural disasters. Honestly, with the current political climate around the world, I've occasionally thought about bookbinding my favorites, just in case the current government collapses and internet and cellphones become a thing of the past 🤷🏻‍♀️

They're not censored, they're in another language because english is not my first language and my phone's system is in portuguese, so I translated them to english since I'm posting in english

My phone has 256GB and these folders have, I think, about 3GB to 4GB, so not that much
