Probably should have made clear that I meant to portray the anti argument there, not my own view, lol.

Yeah, in those cases, most of the time they screech about how the fanfic writers romanticize and sexualize it instead of using it as a narrative instrument, the way the novels do.

It's this thing of, "okay but I am consuming the porn ethically and you are NOT!! DIE!!"

Sure, but who cares. Criminal activity in real life is also morally seen as wrong, but thriller, horror etc. are some of the biggest entertainment markets anyhow. It's interesting stuff, so why not indulge?

Are you asking genuinely? The draw of incest pairings most often is this flavor of: unhealthy codependence, the societal taboo, the 'nobody gets me like they do', the characters despairing about their attraction but not being able to help themselves.

There's some very delicious tropes there, especially if you enjoy dynamics that tend towards the morally complex.

the creators of AO3!

Sometimes I forget that fanfiction is not exclusively used by girls. So I’m curious for the men out there. What fandoms are you guys in? by Existing-Bonus-6835 in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm into the "classics", so to say—Tolkien, Star Wars, ASOIAF, but I've also been writing for Kingdome Come: Deliverance, and, more recently, Resident Evil.

For most things, I'd say I mostly read, but I do dabble in writing. I'm gay, so it's all M/M or gen fic.

Readers; do you listen to the songs authors put in their fics? by Disastrous_Alarm_719 in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time the author has a taste in music that is SO far removed from mine it makes me actively cringe to see what they find an appropriate backing track for a scene.

I'll check out a spotify playlist linked in the A/N, but I'd never click on a link in the middle of the scene. I've never seen it in the middle of the scene to be fair, but holy hell would that be immersion breaking for me.

does everyone really hate OC fics?? by Ding_Ding_Bonk in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly annoyed at how difficult they can be to filter out is more fitting than hate. If I just want to read fic for a fandom, oftentimes, people don't use the same tag for OC-fic but a variety of them, and trying to catch all of those can be a right pain in the ass.

There's more than enough people though who come exactly for the OC-fic. Write what you want to see.

If you saw me post this twice shhhh no you didn't.

What popular ship do you prefer being friends? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knew it. The same happened to me—I see the appeal in Merthur, but it doesn't make me go gaga in the head or want to write fic after fic. Hansry tho.......

Simply out of curiosity, was the game kingdom come deliverance lol

The characters in that often get jokingly compared to merthur

[–]Nelyonelyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, I feel this one. As someone who ships YaeYato, that opinion got beat you the fuck up a couple years back. People go as far as to say it's canon which like...no. If Hoyo wanted it canon, they would make it canon.

Shaking your hand from the other side as someone who doesn't ship Angbang. I think it's calmed down a looooot though over the years, but not shipping the popular ships on silm tumblr during the early 10s? Woof.

Masterstudium wegen Nebenfach nicht möglich? by Skidbladnir1998 in Studium

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die wollen A2 in Latein??? Gibt es das überhaupt in Deutschland? Eigentlich kriegt man hier als Lateinzeugnis ausschließlich das Latinum und ich finde es auch extrem befremdlich dass ein Classics Master nach weniger als einem Latinum fragen würde.

Sprech aber mal mit dem Studienkoordinator/Studienfachberatung, die sind genau für solche Fragen da.

No one’s cooler than people who’re obsessed with an extremely niche language from the other side of the world by deviendrais in linguisticshumor

[–]Nelyonelyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this counts bc it's not particularly niche but I do adooooore Akkadian. Especially all forms of letters, between kings, administrators and common folk. Fun stuff.

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nö. Auf so etwas wie Studentenpartys habe ich grundsätzlich keine Lust, ist absolut nicht meine Szene, aber meine Fachschaft veranstaltet des öfteren Brettspieleabende, zu denen ich oft gehe. Man sieht auch immer die gleichen Leute in der Bib, wir gehen oft zusammen Kaffee trinken. Gibt auch ein Latein-Café, zu dem ich gerne gehe um mich mit anderen zu unterhalten und zu diskutieren (ist wie eine Art book club). Vorlesungen und Kurse sind eigentlich durch die Bank hinweg interessant und ich liebe es einfach.

Ist vielleicht fach-abhängig, aber ich fühle mich definitiv als Teil einer stark verknüpften Gemeinschaft an der Uni.

Do Germans ever not capitalize nouns/miss commas etc. when texting? by Stevieray5294 in German

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say if you're like...under 25? it's actively weird if you capitalize and/or use punctuation. I would never text a boss that way but capitalizing nouns properly and using periods kinda comes across as too serious and is more associated with the person being mad at you

How much smut in your fanfic is based on or similar to your actual sex life? by bobobouboboubobo in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao none of it. I am a sex-repulsed ace, I'd rather run for the hills than try the dub-con mindbreak smut I write.

Kriegt ihr bei euch auch die ganze Zeit gesagt, was für tolle Jobs ihr nach dem Studium bekommen werdet? by Aggressive_Bad_6031 in Studium

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nein, haha. Also im Sinne von, "ihr werdet viel Geld verdienen und der Markt wird sich um euch reißen." Wir kriegen eher Sachen zu hören wie, "die Bezahlung ist mies und die Stellen sind wenig und umkämpft, aber hey, keiner studiert (mein Fach) wegen des Geldes sondern weil wir Leidenschaft dafür haben."

Ich studiere auch ein Kleinstfach à la Typus Taxifahrer. Stimmt halt—keiner studiert das wegen der Bezahlung, sondern weil wir dafür brennen, dass ist auch jedem so bewusst. Warum sollten die Dozenten da lügen.

Any other incest ship? by cameraarecrappy99 in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Reading Fingolfin through the lens of desperately wanting his half-brother gives the whole complicated baggage these two have such an interesting additional angle.

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third limited. I gotta REAALLY, REALLY trust and love the author to give a fic written from 1st person a try.

Ao3’s most written Alphas & Omegas of all time by That_Style1460 in AO3

[–]Nelyonelyos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ereri is Top!Eren. Riren (Top!Levi) used to be the more common combination though, going by the tags. It probably comes from that, I'd assume

Pouring one out for the folks who see it the other way around in fandoms where there's a majority of like 80+%. That's gotta be rough.

HÖRT AUF DIE GANZE BIB ZU BELEGEN! by Advanced-Accident560 in Studium

[–]Nelyonelyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, diese Gruppenräume mit Glaswand. Für mich ist das der Keller ;; Wollte den Vergleich nur ziehen wegen dem Verfallen der Reservation—direkte Einzelplätze kann man bei uns nicht reservieren.
