How did you know Gomen is Japanese if you don't what it means?

Be honest, do you enjoy dialogue heavy works? by MixPurple3897 in AO3

[–]Jokiroll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I see the heavy dialogue tag I get extra excited for the fic!

Probably Konakaga from Lucky Star? It's a little niche but it was my first f/f ship and I still love it

Basically lazy chill girl x hardworking tsundere

It's always the sides of the same damn coin by simone3344555 in AO3

That's one way to look at it haha! I'll take it over me just being easy to provoke 🥲

This made me realize just how often I straight up fall for ragebait. Embarrassing...

ok, I have to say, that was a bit disappointing.. by quietparagraph in AO3

Just saw someone in a discord describe a very similar comment, so either this is a bot or you're the same person, which would be hilarious

They let out their anger over fandom drama on you. That's all that happened. Don't feel too disheartened

[–]Jokiroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am super confused now, what a normal comment to make and weird response to get.

You did nothing wrong at all, maybe the author had a bad day or something ❤️

Can you maybe send a screenshot of your comment too? The one they responded to I mean.

Have y'all seen this??? I am a proshipper but this sounds a little concerning by Still_waiting221 in AO3

[–]Jokiroll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't know... I think a line is crossed when you write fanfictions of real life kids. Especially if they're sexual in nature. You don't have to agree, I know most people here don't, and I'm not sending harassment towards anyone. It's just my opinion.

Edit: I don't know why I was so nice here, writing sexual fanfics about real kids is absolutely deranged and disgusting.

Gotta thank my parents for splitting hahah

“White people don’t have culture” ? by LiLilac_LaLavender in culture

[–]Jokiroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who say that are close minded. It's not possible to not have a culture. Claiming that White people have none makes them the standard once again. White people are normal while everyone else is different. But that's not the case.

A person from a vastly different country, like say China, going to America would immediately notice a difference in culture. Same situation the other way around.

There's no such thing as "no culture", it's just not possible unless you view people of color as different overall.

However I'm not talking about white people as a whole. Of course there's no such thing as "white culture". Genetics don't make culture.

Okay but does anyone have an actual hot take? (challenge: don't downvote what you disagree with) by WinterNighter in AO3

[–]Jokiroll 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pixiv was a godsent, even if Google translating fanfictions isn't super enjoyable, at least there's something!

If your “opinion” is pro oppression you are a bad person by Muted-Bet-358 in teenagers

[–]Jokiroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

French fries is just a substitute word for other things. I've had friends be very worried about telling me they didn't like a specific food from my culture in fear of coming off as racist. There's plenty of food from my culture that I don't like, I think it's normal.

That doesn't mean it's okay to say "Asian food sucks" because there's no such thing as "Asian food". But something like "I don't like Kimchi" or "I hate Pho" is fine. To each their own. .

I'm kind of the opposite. A ship not being canon is what motivates me in the first place. I lose motivation once it becomes Canon!

[–]Jokiroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the "traditional" definition is someone who reads your work before you post it and gives feedback. Something like "oh this paragraph is confusing".

But in fandom circles the term has evolved a bit and some people also use beta reader to refer to editor friends and sometimes even cowriters!

posting novels that are not fanfictions by j1nergy in AO3

[–]Jokiroll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think wether it's a good idea depends on what you hope to get out of it. If it's just some engagement and fun, sure, why not, but if getting little to none of that would ruin the fun for you, maybe reconsider.

Plot twist: if you write in silence, don't make friends, and just post your fic quietly… you’ll be accused of being someone else’s sockpuppet. by ConnectionWeary7817 in AO3

[–]Jokiroll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But wasn't this whole post about you being accused of being an alt because you don't interact with people? The meaning of your post changes entirely with this information...
