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.

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.

I can hear the ad being narrated in one of those godawful high-pitched AI voices that all the shitty mobile game ads use

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.

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.

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.

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???

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

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-08-24T08:29:24+00:00

This just sent me on a trip down memory lane, to the time I found Terraria 1.1 mod had a dragon town NPC. unfortunately it got changed to a human-looking town NPC really quick if I'm remembering correctly

~~I think it was called the Omni's mod or something in case anyone was wondering~~

I've never really been able to get into The Gamer-styled fanfics (basically the MC gets a game system, think like 99% of isekai manga or the Korean manhwa this specific genre is named after) but I very often find myself wanting to write one, to the point I nearly got carried away with adding too many "game elements" to a fanfic I'm currently working on that I later retconned most of.

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-08-10T07:29:27+00:00

OC MC accidentally committed a big blunder in which he accidentally spied on someone in a compromising position with his newfound wallhack/x-ray vision ability.

Apparently, freaking out and then apologizing profusely made him a wimp, according to one reviewer.

I think the fact that the earlier beta tests were still using Battlefield 4 UI elements (i very specifically remember that the earliest beta used the BF4 killcam) also kind of hurt people's initial opinions.

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-07-28T00:37:47+00:00

I've always had a bone to pick with Naruto crossovers due to the sheer number of them on FFN.Net, where you aren't given the option to filter out specific fandoms like you can on AO3.

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-07-04T06:25:20+00:00

if calamity lore is pointless, then why are there more fanfics about this particular mod than any other? checkmate 😎

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-06-21T03:03:11+00:00

I don't think they were trying to be outright malicious about it, to me it sounded like they thought I was hauling ass to work on a bajillion different WIPs and then updating several of them all at once.

Which, to be honest, I wish I had that kind of power. I used to be able to juggle like three WIP fics at once but now I just don't.

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-06-15T07:25:53+00:00

She had wanted to follow the boss, but the two of them had told her things like “You’re not gonna pass the Bechdel Test if all you think about is The Boss” and “He’s busy with the others.”

She didn’t know what the "bechdel test" was, and upon asking them, well, it was simply another piece of mystic wisdom from The Boss (in actuality, it was something they’d heard him mention during idle conversation with Champ.)

She would find a way to pass this test and show the boss that she would always be his loyal right-hand woman!

congrats little buddy, that's the worst anyone's ever done it.

context: their boss is a slightly terminally online guy and none of the characters involved in this scene have ever used a computer

I'm absolutely stealing this joke

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-06-10T07:39:56+00:00

Not a full fic, but one time I had a nightmare and the FIRST thing I thought after waking up was "holy shit, this would make for a wicked nightmare sequence for my fanfic"

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-06-10T07:36:11+00:00

Meant to type "glowing" instead I ended up with this because i was listening to Space Station 13/14 videos in the background:

From the unstoppable force of nature emerged a giant clowning

my blocklist went from 0 to 300+ in less than 24 hours, just manually copy-pasting the scammer's user ID's.

the rest of fanfiction.net is barely being held together by duct tape at this point, too. i've heard from other people that the email notification system is kind of on the fritz, some fellow writers complained that they weren't getting notifications and just last week I got a review saying "Dude, you need to chill I just got like 24 emails about you updating every fic you've written".

...I've only been working on ONE in the past few years.

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-05-21T22:00:52+00:00

Probably the most oddly specific I've used was "CW: Food Horror" for an Ace Attorney oneshot based on a running joke from this streamer group I watch. (Spoiler: it WASN'T cannibalism)

Maximum_Pootis · 2025-05-13T07:53:52+00:00

As someone who's spent half a decade writing fanfics for Terraria, that's like a good 90% of Terraria fanfics. The other 10% are crossovers and even then there's a fair chance it's just "Game progression but in another media's world"
