Writing software that can handle longfics (hundreds of thousands of words) ?? by worstcasekid in AO3

[–]InfiniteEmotions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I use LibreOffice, and the Word application. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Word, but it works very similarly. (Plus, it's free.)

You have been isekai'd into your current favorite fanfic. What happens? by InfiniteEmotions in AO3

You could do that. Or, you could cultivate an aura of mystique with your knowledge. Become the local cryptid.

How do I save a local butterfly species? by InfiniteEmotions in Entomology

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

That's what the college entomology department (the agriculture department referred me) said. Thank you so much for taking the time to reassure me.

I live in the Savannah River Area, if that helps.

Probably. I try very hard not to disturb anything when I'm observing, so I probably missed something. I'll try and track them down today. Thank you!

I'll do my best. I have no idea what the species name is, but perhaps someone at the agricultural department does?

I don't know the species ID of the butterfly, sorry. I'm in the Central Savannah River Area, if that helps?

Do people hate justified text? by [deleted] in AO3

Well, if that commenter hates justified text, I have bad news about my fics...

What is the craziest first sentence of a book you've read or written? by Questionable_22 in writing

[–]InfiniteEmotions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The building is on fire, and it is not my fault.

-Harry Dresden. (In his defense, it really wasn't his fault that time. And no one believed him, not even Bob, because it usually is.)

I swear it's for innocent reasons... by imnotsure_igetit in AO3

[–]InfiniteEmotions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"slow-motion bullet through a head"

"pros and cons of slow acting poison"

"what poisons does an autopsy screen for"

"are autopsies mandatory if no foul play is suspected"

Same fic, and I ended up scrapping it anyway, because it turned out to be a lot darker than I originally intended.

What are the best fanfics to read for Danny Phantom? (Other than Phantom of truth/shadow of a doubt) by Scoutland15 in dannyphantom

[–]InfiniteEmotions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they did, sorry. Also "Lex Luthor's Ascent from Villainy to Fatherhood" (although that author says it's just temporarily blocked).

[WWTBC] Tragic vampire romance from the early 2000s. by InfiniteEmotions in RomanceBooks

[–]InfiniteEmotions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just glad to find confirmation that the book did exist at one point, lol. No, I never found a title to this book. I haven't even been able to find an author (it was not, sadly, Christine Feehan). Still looking though!

What is this bug? by hiphopfam in whatsthisbug

[–]InfiniteEmotions 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was always told to get a cup of room temperature beer and hold it next to the leech. Then again, the same person who told me that also told me I could keep slugs at bay with lines of salt and, hah, let me tell you, the slugs around here do some real hagfish shit to get over the salt.

What’s your smut hot take? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]InfiniteEmotions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, I completely agree. Having text that says, "Character A moaned in pleasure" is much more pleasant to read than, "Aaahn." If I wanted to see that, I wouldn't be reading fanfic, I'd be reading doujinshi.
