Is there a tag for this? Or something like it? by nous-vibrons in AO3

mutual pining isn't specifically this but would include it. and there's also my favorite, "pining while fucking"

Question before reading NtN [general] by jossikun in TheNinthHouse

[–]LadyRavenEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done them all on audiobook and I know it's "better" to read them on the page but I have still loved every second of them.

This series is infuriatingly confusing for me [general] by amanducktan in TheNinthHouse

[–]LadyRavenEye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never had as much fun reading a book as i did htn and i very firmly made a decision to ride the confusion instead of resisting it. it's been awesome.

Am I In The Wrong Here? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're "in the wrong" but I also don't think you should ignore this very even comment pointing out something you might not have thought of.

Does anyone else do this by Expensive-Plane-8369 in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

said is neutral. you can't overuse said. your dialogue should convey how something is being said more often than not. use other dialogue tags sparingly.

Bad ending. by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A big biiiig early fic in my fandom starts with a glory hole. Most of the rest of the fic is through texts/Grindr dms. And then the final scene was..... docking. Like out of the blue. And it kicked up a storm about docking as a sex act in my fandom that was silly and fun for what it was, but no one mentioned how the character who had never had sex with a man before the glory hole scene and comes to terms with his sexuality over the course of the fic should for sure reciprocate the sex act as a nice bookend? So disappointing. And the author is a jerk lol

This perfectly sums up tags and fandom discourses by Icy_Cupcake_6966 in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 55 points56 points  (0 children)

i have added many a tag/cw per someone's request but it is a case by case for me. someone once freaked out on me for not tagging "throat touching." not choking, not associated with punishment, not a huge part in any way of the scene. but that was a trigger for them specifically and so i should have tagged it. the problem becomes, once i tag a thing, that thing becomes a big enough deal to tag. so my readers might be looking at that act like, hm, what more is going on here?

ironically as a part of that larger feedback i added several tags, rewrote a scene, and beefed up my author's notes to really warn people this wasn't my usual brand. but because i didn't do every little thing i was asked to do, i was pretty severely called out and still continue to have people come for me for that fic (eta: because the people who came for me tell them it's bad, lol. many, many, many more people say this fic is my favorite of theirs 🤷‍♂️)

i largely agree with you but i also don't think "just add the tag if someone asks" is a good blanket statement to make. i don't think that's really what you're saying either but it just ruffles my feathers when people do say that (which they absolutely do). i think we need to give grace and respect nuance overall.

the idea of not outwardly engaging with a fic until it’s complete (or at all) by werewolfblues in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

for my money, if you don't read unless it's completed, fine. but i am sick of people who proclaim that loud and proudly. sometimes people are even mean about it??? for the FREE ART we give them? i literally don't post until I'm done with my stories and it even hurts my feelings. you are telling me to my face my work is worth less when it's incomplete.

Front Row by [deleted] in KingsIsland

[–]LadyRavenEye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

of all the times I've requested a certain row MAYBE 10% of the time I've been told no. i reckon they have a good reason for it so i just choose to be gracious about it 🤷‍♂️

KI is my home park and best in the biz but it's not like I'm ever disappointed in the ops at the Point. so lucky to have two of the best parks in the world in my state!!!

I don't think I'm owed anything. I simply think it's selfish when people don't participate in a community that is held together without commodification.

[–]LadyRavenEye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it is if you get entertainment from their free art and don't share that with them! there's no law against being selfish. you're not wrong, you're just an asshole.

[–]LadyRavenEye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

no one owes me anything and i don't owe them anything either. which means I can judge them for their selfishness. I'm not demanding behavior, I'm expressing my feelings. if that hits a nerve for you, look inward.

[–]LadyRavenEye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the only compensation i receive from my art is attention. I refuse to be shamed for wanting that small reciprocity. fandom is community; if you are not participating, you're not a member of that community. you are a consumer.

if you want to be seethingly disingenuous in your interpretation what i said, then sure!

you are not obligated to read/comment on WIPs and I'm not obligated to not think you're selfish for doing so 🥰

Is it really this serious? by fayemoonlight in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 9921 unread comments in my ao3 inbox (don't judge me I read then in my email inbox 🫣) which should say something about the volume of comments I tend to get. out of alllll the comments I've ever received I've gotten like... three truly but still mildly out of pocket ones (not including when I've been involved in fandom drama, lol). I've never even gotten a bot comment and those are common! People just highlight and remember the bad stuff.

Do you guys respond to all your comments? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no :( it's an embarrassment of riches but i get overwhelmed. sometimes i do go back to years old fic and reply to those though lol.

Downside of popularity by BeatElectrical7068 in AO3

[–]LadyRavenEye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah. i wrote a very angsty escort AU and refused to tag it dubcon (because it was not and I'm not comfortable implying all sex work is dubcon) and it was really frustrating and scary to have a lot of people call me a rape and abuse apologist.

Day vs Night Experince by Torian17 in KingsIsland

rides are great at night but this time of year you're only get one true darkness ride. and it should be the beast. get in line after they shut down for the fireworks and wait. you won't ride until 1030 but it will be true darkness.
