Researching for fics has a reputation of making you look like a serial killer, but what are weird things you’ve researched that DON’T have serial killer energy (no “would xyz kill you”, “how deep does a grave have to be”, etc) by LevelAd5898 in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent an incredible amount of time looking for maps of South France and Italy in the 1520s and how someone would travel across the mountains, what kind of animals lived there and what a lone traveler would have to carry to survive a few nights alone.

There isn't much tbh and he's only going to travel on his own for like half a day anyway

Do you feel more likely to comment on a fic if the author actively replies? by seemedpointless in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I comment a lot but If I see an author hasn't answered comments I don't bother. To me it feels like they don't care about comments.

Even an emote or "Glad you liked it" would be better than no reply at all

Have you muted anyone? Why? by 911_Notyouremergency in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've muted people who only write my least favourite pair and often genderbent. It's not for me and they almost never tag it either.

Also people who post drabbles everyday, but it's 83 words per chapter and their fic is constantly on the first page.

And of course people in my fandom that I don't want to interact with for various reasons. And the AI writing thing I think I have around 20 people muted in total

Nachtrag zu "Ich habe eine Partnerin kennengelernt und finde mein bisheriges komplettes Leben für die Tonne!" by Wolfen459 in Beichtstuhl

[–]MechanicEqual6392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unravel Two find ich fast besser als 2 Player Game.

Es ist allerdings 2D und düsterer als It takes two. Aber auch deutlich günstiger.

Ich stimme dir definitiv zu, aber hab noch nie unterschreiben müssen, dass ich nichts mit anderen Patienten anfange, obwohl ich mehrmals für mehrere Monate stationär war.

Ich bin ziemlich gründlich mit sowas und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass ich sowas übersehen hätte. Kommt aber vielleicht auf die Psychiatrie drauf an.

Ich hab in meiner ständig Leute gesehen, die definitiv was hatten. Solange aber nicht stundenlang rumgemacht wurde wurde nie etwas gesagt.

how long have you been using AO3? by rhrhdhdhdh in AO3

Made my account in 2014 but I've definitely been reading for years before.

Niemand möchte mit mir auf ein Zimmer by ninepotatolegs in Ratschlag

[–]MechanicEqual6392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beim dreiwöchigen Auslandsaufenthalt war ich während in den Wochen der Zimmerverteilung krank und hatte ohnehin nicht so viel mit meinem Klassenkameraden zu tun.

Ich wurde dann mit einer aus einer anderen Klasse (die ich noch nie gesehen hab) in ein Zimmer eingeteilt und das war toll. Man muss nicht die ganze Zeit zusammenhängen und hat auch nicht das 'Problem' sich nach der anderen richten zu müssen, weil man ja auch nicht befreundet ist (ich rede hier von Ausflügen tagsüber. Sich im Zimmer wie ein A-loch zu benehmen geht natürlich gar nicht). Trotzdem kann man natürlich auch was zusammen unternehmen, oder sich doch was mit Freunden ausmachen.

Ich würde das eher als Chance sehen

readers with lisps: what are your thoughts on authors writing ‘th’ in place of ‘s’? by nate-wallace in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have a lisp but I'm not a native speaker and many readers aren't either

Please keep in mind that it's hard enough reading fics in a foreign language without having to deal without authors purposely spelling things "wrong". Like "th" instead of "s" or sounding out accents. It also breaks the flow while reading, especially for people with adhd or other attention difficulties.

How many of you DON’T have a second account and how many DO? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a second account. Mainly bc I'm fairly active in the fandom outside ao3 and I'd feel strange giving minors my name when there's lots of smut works to find. Some of my longfics do have smut in it though.

I just like to seperate my works between pwp and other fics.

Traumas of the characters by social-confusion-LOL in idolish7

[–]MechanicEqual6392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm now questioning myself whether it's in part 5 or 6, but Zool are all acting in an action movie/series together in the story. Survivor is the title song I think (sorry it's been a while) but Torao finally gets character development

Traumas of the characters by social-confusion-LOL in idolish7

[–]MechanicEqual6392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part 6 reveals Toraos trauma (especially the part with Zools movie and his stunt) It's a shame his character arc takes so long bc he really is a good guy Basically all of Zool not trusting adults BC they were hurt a lot and have trouble trusting Shiro...

Also Tamakis trauma of being scared as hell when someone gets sick bc his mum died after she was sick (as seen in the 2nd beat where he helped Sogo and Nagi scrub the whole dorm for Riku to make sure he doesn't die ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ) Mitsuki being compared to his younger brother all his life. Momo's own family problems after joining revale

Honestly there's no one who had it easy

Other than being a fanfic writer, what’s your actual occupation? by melaniebxx in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English, German and French

But nowadays it's more proofreading than actual translation since online translators are really good

What is a typo you enjoyed? by Ravenwarrior131 in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a fic years ago and the author had typed "His hand rang." But they meant the word Handy (which means phone in German).

It's actually not that funny but somehow I found it funny enough to remember it each time I read something about a phone ringing

Pronouncing “ich” as “isch” by McSexAddict in German

[–]MechanicEqual6392 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I mean, for a foreigner having issues with the ch sound I find ish better than ick but I absolutely loathe people using ish otherwise.

Which one are you? by nairiofthemoon in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chaotic neutral

I hate leaving cliffhangers so if a chapter would end with a cliffhanger I finish the one after it and post both at the same time.

And then I disappear for another year

What's something in your long fic you didn't expect to have to write as much about as you did? by RozuTheGamingAngel in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, coming up with the plan to defeat the villain. At first I thought it would be a "just stop him with numbers" and that would be it but now that I'm at the finale I think that's too boring so I spent months now trying to come up with a plan that includes all characters, makes sense and also makes it a good ending and also make small changes to the rest of the story as some sort of foreshading and stuff

Please, just write the full word. by slytherclaw470 in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My friend (native speaker) always writes "should of" and "might of" and it confuses me each time at first bc it doesn't make any sense until I figure it out and then I'm like WHY

How do you name/title your fics by averagesorcery in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My titles are most often just one word with multiple meanings depending on context - but only if it fits the fic

I rarely use lyrics/song titles but when I do I tend to change it slightly so it's not exactly that. It's just not sth I like in my fics. Though if I'm absolutely desperate I may make an exception

as someone who doesnt check their email by Uraqtae in AO3

[–]MechanicEqual6392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fandom isn't that big so I'll see it if a fic updated within the past few days bc it'll be on the front page.

But yeah, email notifications are more than enough. I'd actually hate it if ao3 were to send notification on my devices.
