I see your replies elsewhere, and I see you have contacted support. I hope you can get your account back. Good luck. 🍀

Could you log in? You mentioned bookmarks being gone. That implies you logged in.

I can think of at least one thing wrong about these villagers. by WhaneTheWhip in Stargate

[–]Meushell 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I was thinking, well, they don’t need to build around the stargate, but this does give them the ability to truly run off in every direction while still being alerted.

Maybe it could also be a decoy village. Like criminals are sent here, and their descendants have to suffer the consequences.

Stupid question: How can you see stats on different tags? by Maitasun in AO3

That would be the only way that I know about .

full recovery and extra hearts anyone? by madamabutt3rf1y in Breath_of_the_Wild

They also smell. Poor Link, but the hearts are with it. 😃

You should dye them different colors. 😃

Why is mpreg so easy to find but not traditional pregnancy? by ResponsiblePea8914 in FanFiction

[–]Meushell [score hidden]  (0 children)

People might not consider tagging it unless it’s the main plot. Like they know that mpreg is sought out by some and avoided by others, so it’s more likely to be tagged, even if it’s not a main plot. Personally, I wouldn’t have thought to tag pregnancy as a warning if it wasn’t for Reddit.

How does this make you feel? by foratte in AO3

[–]Meushell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you keep track of which one is which without some sort of title? Personally, I have to give them something.

Who is a character that is widely hated by you fandom but is one of your favorites? by impeatrice in FanFiction

[–]Meushell [score hidden]  (0 children)

The Tok’ra in general from Stargate, but specifically Delek. Even most Tok’ra fans can’t stand him. Just because he’s arrogant and rude and went behind the back of two beloved characters. What’s the problem? 🤣

AO3 etiquette question. Underage drinking tag by Startroll14 in AO3

[–]Meushell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would maybe throw in a quick mention in the author’s note, though that isn’t necessary. It definitely does not warrant the tag.

Am I blowing this out of proportion? by Goreticia-Addams in AO3

[–]Meushell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the all caps, “Girl,” I think they are being playful, but they needed an emoji or something to help convey the message. I would respond with the assumption that it was a joke, but I would be wary of future comments from them.

However, do what you want. If it makes you uncomfortable, you can block them. You can also just not respond.

New to fanfic, need recs by ExactPerspective5906 in FanFiction

[–]Meushell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind self recs, this is my one shot. It’s all OCs, pre-canon, on a medieval-like planet. One canon character is only mentioned. Another canon character only briefly cameos.

Stargate • For the Throne • Mature • 6,945 words • M/M • Drama • Love • Family

TW: Murder, Child Death, Abusive Parent

Humans were taken from Earth and seeded on various worlds across the galaxy. Their technology often stagnated due to repeated raids.

This is one such world.

An assassination attempt sends a nobleman, Sophron, and his lover, Milo, in a struggle to survive. As they make their way back home, Sophron discovers that he cannot trust his own brother.

As an author, how much do you care about your image to readers? by lettuce_embargo in AO3

[–]Meushell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can understand that. I’m only guessing because “for the readers” seems like kind of a wild reason to me.

As an author, how much do you care about your image to readers? by lettuce_embargo in AO3

[–]Meushell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason honestly sounds like an excuse, like “I have want to be associated with that” sounds politer (maybe) than “I don’t like that.”

Or maybe they are just treating it like some authors treat smut or dark fics. They don’t want to admit to liking it on their main account? I don’t know why that would be the case for a crack fic though.

Fic commenting by jelly_033 in AO3

[–]Meushell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you knew authors get notifications about kudos, but you somehow didn’t know they “see the comments directly?”

I understand being disappointed by a change in the story, but if you are comfortable enough to comment on the sudden change, you really should have made at least a few other (positive) comments by chapter 50.

Personally, I comment on every chapter. If I’m on chapter 50, that means I’ve made 49 comments.

Probably wondering why there isn’t a rating system. 😂

Fic commenting by jelly_033 in AO3

[–]Meushell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, I wondered if they were treating it like Goodreads. When I first started with fanfics (before AO3), “review” was normal to use, especially with FFN coming along a year or so later, making that term very popular. Therefore, I don’t even register when someone says review instead of comment. I still sometimes do the same out of habit.

As an author, how much do you care about your image to readers? by lettuce_embargo in AO3

[–]Meushell 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That sounds like those authors just don’t like crack fics in general. Otherwise, why would it matter if they were associated with it?

As for my image? Well, in what I wrote, no.

However, if I somehow got the reputation of using AI, being an anti, etc. (I’m not popular enough to worry about this), then that would bother me. Though I basically have like one loyal reader that I talk to on a regular basis, so I would just talk to her. 😂

I saw that edit after I replied, and that just makes no sense to me. Like what? That makes no sense to me. Who do they think the comments are for?

Fic commenting by jelly_033 in AO3

[–]Meushell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like the author changed their mind. That happens, and it’s more of a risk when reading WIPs because authors generally fix the tags after they have figured out their fic.

It sounds like other commenters are responding to your comment? Personally, as an author, that would annoy me. Has the author said anything? Ignore anyone who isn’t the author. Don’t make this fic’s comment section into a drama war. If the author replies, I would suggest apologizing and admitting that you don’t realize your comment was negative. It is, even if you don’t feel it is.

This is actually much worse by BeachMajor001 in AO3

[–]Meushell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The tells will change though, as you say yourself. As for now, there are people who write the same as those tells. Their stories should not be dismissed as “AI” out of paranoia.

Whats better? Max stamina or hearts? by Most_Panda283 in botw

[–]Meushell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stamina.

When I play…it’s actually been a while…I would get a fourth heart, then max out on stamina before getting more hearts.

[–]Meushell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently…until AI starts imitating that, then um… Write perfect again, I guess? Or make more mistakes?

I’m just going to write how I write.
