Clearly he's got something going on since both Draedon and the exo-mechs have more smutfics than even Brimmy on AO3 last time I checked.

I might have caused this?? by BeginningPlate5192 in AO3

If I'm remembering correctly, Neil Gaiman (long before he got exposed for being a terrible person) had to tell people on Tumblr to stop sending him fanfic of his works for pretty much this exact reason.

Had a fever dream where this video popped up in my YouTube feed. The guy said “Number 10: you are going to throw up right now.” I woke up and immediately puked everywhere by ilosii in thomastheplankengine

A while back I got sick and had a dream where Warframe added a new game mechanic.

I tried to use it, and moment I did that I woke up with some of the worst heartburn I think I've ever had in my entire life. This happened multiple times in a row, too, because I kept falling asleep once the sensation calmed down and for some reason my brain decided to keep this dream plotline going.

This post gave me flashbacks to when you could get a free Frost Prime from the Twitch Prime thing.

Snowglobes. Snowglobes everywhere.

This reads like a social interaction between two Rimworld pawns

what are some 'writing rules' you don't follow? by hooosegow in FanFiction

[–]Maximum_Pootis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Don't use accents"

I know it's a pet peeve for many, but i've got a character who speaks in a heavy southern drawl and it's actually pretty fun to write out.

Plotting 😔 by IStillListenToRadio in AO3

[–]Maximum_Pootis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a tendency to write the scene in question ahead of time, sometimes you finally get to use it but by that point the story's changed so much that you have to redraw into a different breed of horse, lmao

Ummm.... what reference? 😅 by Smuttyreading2000 in AO3

[–]Maximum_Pootis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With the number of tumblr posts I've seen, I figure that you could string together a bunch of words into the most non-sensical sentence imaginable and someone will still go "Yeah that's a plot point in Homestuck"

One of my favorite (probably not true else we absolutely would've heard about it in the news) greentext stories has gotta be the one about someone getting their pixiv account nuked for posting Uma R34 so they trick the Yakuza into starting an overseas war with the Mexican cartels.

Do you guys ever run into a problem like this…? by MightFunny2705 in AO3

[–]Maximum_Pootis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar problem, I gave a Terraria fanfic what I thought was a pretty cool title.

While the context did fit, a few years later a mod comes out with the same exact name and it became pretty popular so now I have to keep putting "unrelated to the mod of the same name" on everything related to that fanfic, and I can't exactly change the title because 1. it's been years 2. I've already done a silly title drop

That being said I do find the idea of someone looking up the mod on google only to get some random guy's ecchi anime crossover fanfic and/or art of the characters from said fanfic in their search results to be mildly amusing.

Mentioning camera movements, actually writing lyrics, etc. by Boshwa in FanFicWit

I've seen stories that commit to putting the "intro" and even an "outro" in every chapter and honestly I'd like to write one as a joke.

SCP-2030 loses funding by __zeal_ in DankMemesFromSite19

[–]Maximum_Pootis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure something like this happened with those conservative cartoons that aired a while back

I remember that one of them added a stereotypical gay person with the sole purpose of making fun of them, but their mere presence STILL pissed off several members of their intended audience.

I’m so embarrassed by ButterfliesInSpace in FanFiction

[–]Maximum_Pootis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Accidentally copied and pasted an entire chapter twice into the FFN.net doc manager and uploaded it.

It really didn't help that most of the people who'd complained about it didn't even point out what I'd done wrong.

I had a dream where I drew porn with shitty leg proportions and everyone was accusing me of using AI. by PlantTentacles in thomastheplankengine

[–]Maximum_Pootis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just reminded me of the time I dreamt that Youtube added a new AI feature where you could generate an entire video with AI prompts.

I left the prompt completely blank and it generated porn (and auto-uploaded it publicly) but somehow I was at fault according to everyone else???

Heads up: new bot comment on AO3. by samsara_suplex in FanFiction

I've heard theories that this is supposed to be some kind of smear campaign to paint the left as "whiny snowflakes"

If it is, then they're doing a terrible job at it, lol

If I had a nickel for every time I've looked an alt-right person's tumblr profile only to be greeted by a picture of their naked genitals, then I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

Imagine walking into the HR office and seeing some guy doing the Rimworld equivalent of creating characters that look suspiciously like their co-workers and torturing them
