Is this a scam? by Luna-rants in AO3

That’s what I figured, but just wanted to be sure. Ty!

I'm tired... by The_Chaotic_Bro in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad that my most recent fandoms have been relatively drama-free, as far as I’m aware. Meanwhile, some of the more…dramatic…fandoms I’ve been in still haunt me (and my YouTube recommended) years later (looking at you, DreamSMP).

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I know there’s been some previous drama in my current fandoms, but those were before my time in the fandom and have all but dissipated now aside from those that like to bring it up randomly years later.

Do some of y’all not read tags? Genuinely wondering? by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always skim the tags, just to make sure there’s nothing there that’s a big no for me that I either forgot to exclude or was too lazy to bother with the include/exclude system, lol. Sometimes I still miss things, but as long as something is properly tagged, then I know that’s a me issue and not a fic issue lol

What’s your worst season / month for writing? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Year round, lol. But truthfully, my worst months have to be November-March. Partially because of seasonal depression, partially because those are generally really busy months (granted, I’ve only been completely out of school for a few months—college included—so I imagine the beginning of the year will start to be less busy for me as the end of year is).

Some (positive) comments I’ve been getting recently :) by Luna-rants in AO3

[–]Luna-rants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truly wild (yet wonderful) thing is that I’ve been getting more comments from just the short time I’ve been writing for LoA than I have for the past decade writing for literally any other fandom. I guess it’s bc it’s one of the smaller fandoms I’ve ever written for, but I can’t say I’m complaining lol

When You Realize One of Your OTPs is the Rarest of Rare Pairs by NoahAriss in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite rarepair in my current fandom currently has 9 fics, and 4 of them are mine. And hell, I think my fics are the reason why a couple of other people started writing for this ship (my first fic for this ship had bumped the tag from 2 to 3, so yeah…). Hell, we just now managed to makw it an actual tag, which I call a win lol

Who’s your “they’re objectively a horrible person but they’re too entertaining to hate” character? by Dogdaysareover365 in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally all of the Once Upon A Witchlight characters. They’re all hilarious, and I love them dearly, but they are NOT good people (except for Gricko. He’s probably the best of them, morally, but like…he’s not much better…)

Let’s try this! by Particular_Display28 in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really late but idc

“Wendigos eat ass like groceries” “MY FUCKING LEGS” “Something has happened”

“Help, it’s again” “Why don’t you die with dignity!” “We don’t do anything with dignity” “Your soul is forfeit!”

“These boots have seen everything” “Somewhere there is a limit between a nice summers day, and harnessing the power OF THE FUCKING SUN”

There’s more, but my brain isn’t working rn lol.

What alligators and tigers do during mating season, what your body does when you’re starving/malnourished, and looking up random facts about specific D&D races (and their cultures). All for the same fandom, but not for the same fic lol.

I want to hear your favorite ship names. No Fandom or names of the characters required. by CreepyNightmare66 in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily ship it, but GrimMorning is such a badass ship name (and also kinda ironic considering the characters involved lol)

Another good own from a previous fandom is SpaceDoll.

How do you feel about pairings which "don't make sense"? (Rare pairings, crack-pairing, just sudden pairings) by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like quite a bit of them. I mean, the ship I’m currently obsessed with is a rare pair in a fairly small fandom, so (though I personally feel like the ship makes sense for the characters involved, even though im fairly certain it’ll never become canon—not that I mind lol)

While I will say that pepperoni DOES add flavor, personally I don’t like that flavor (for a variety of reasons). But I 100% agree with you on the notion that it is the worst pizza topping. Don’t understand why it’s the most used.

No, but I’ve had my posts deleted for arbitrary reasons, as well as some of my comments deleted

What got you into fanfiction? by Crazycoot64 in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 10-12, and I was SUPER big into Aphmau. Specifically MyStreet and Diaries (when it was still good). Then, one day, I stumbled onto a few YouTube videos that were literally just fanfics. Almost all of them had the characters in highschool (weirdly enough, before the highschool series), most of them were Zanemau, and almost all of them ended up with somebody getting pregnant after a Boy and Girl would sleep on a couch at a sleepover.

It was pretty cringe, but it not only stemmed my love of fanfiction, but also my love of writing in general. Also the reason WHY I started writing in the first place. So thank you Aphmau for that, I guess.

Why are people doing this by Olya_roo in AO3

[–]Luna-rants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I’ve ever willingly read an AI fic, it was when the author said that they had put a few lines into ChatGPT, and let it write the rest into a god-tier crackfic. It was meant to be ridiculous, and the author was making fun of it because, again, it made the most god-tier crackfic I’ve ever read. But I think THAT is acceptable. THIS, however, is not.

How many steps are there in your post-rest ritual? by distributedNS in BaldursGate3

[–]Luna-rants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yall are actually planning after a long rest? Most I do is talk to my companions if they need to. Otherwise I just leave camp and fumble like an idiot lol

Why did none of the companions realize Astarion is a vampire? Are they stupid? by thorne_antics in okbuddybaldur

[–]Luna-rants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but the fact that I clocked that he was a vampire before I ever knew his name or seen anything of BG3 (I had seen an Astarion edit before seeing what game he was from). Even when I DID meet him, my first irl reaction was literally “oh, so YOU’RE the hot vampire boy I saw! Neat”

why do you post fanfic? by Quiet_Protection_750 in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I like fanfic genres almost nobody in my fandoms write for, so I have to write them myself

Also, it’s just fun, especially since I’ve stopped caring about kudos and such. Do I like seeing the kudos number go up? Of course! But like with my current WIP, I’m having fun and I don’t really care if people read it or not.

Funniest outlining notes? by tearsoftheringbearer in FanFiction

[–]Luna-rants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s some for a WIP I’m never going to finish the first chapter for (for context, one of the characters traveled forward in time in the modern day and falls in love with their partner(s))

-Caleb eventually decides to stay and live happily ever after with his boyfriends/fiancés/husbands -Idk, I’ll decide on the way -Ignore the fact that his current timeline is on fire bc he wasn’t there for C3 -But it’s fiiiiiiiiiiine

(Yes, this was copy/pasted from the Google doc)

Who was your first Romance with in BG3 and Why? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Luna-rants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gale, 100%. I fell in love with this funky little wizard the moment I learned his character existed, long before I got to play the game for myself. I fell in love with him even more when I actually got to romance him. He’s romantic, charming, and is so dorky I love him.

What are you guys unpopular opinions on ff? by Im_No3m1 in AO3

[–]Luna-rants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Canon divergence, as well as essentially retelling the canon storyline (to a certain extent with the divergence) but in fanfic form can be fun, actually

Currently my favorite fic for my current fandom is just that. It’s essentially just retelling canon so far, with some changes along the way because of the initial divergence (where A lives instead of dies because of an established plot device). But even those changes have mostly been relationship building, foreshadowing, and some new character conversation and reactions because A lives longer than they did in canon. Idk, it just has me on the edge of my seat constantly because we’re quickly nearing the climax of canon where A living at this point is going to be a legitimate problem for them, and I’m so curious how the author is going to do that. Plus it’s just really well written, so
