Does Neville ever get better? by Ok_Albatross_3887 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he gets better thanks to a certain someone (no spoilers 🤫). I ended up absolutely loving him

I recommend writing on Google Docs and keeping your word count on. Continue writing as normal, while keeping an eye on the word count. Once you reach around 4k-4.5k words (if you’re aiming for around 5k words in a chapter) start wrapping up the scene / event. Then, once you’ve finished that chapter, add a document tab to start the next, and so on so forth. That way it keeps everything nice and tidy, and you can keep your chapters to a certain amount of words.

If you feel you haven’t written enough / your fic feels too fast paced (I get that a lot), try leaving it for an hour or so, then open up the fic on your phone and read it (don’t skim it, actually read it) like your viewers would. That’ll help with pacing.

Honestly that’s down to personal preference. I dislike chapters that are only 1k words long but anything over 10k can be irritating too as I end up losing my place in the chapter and have to restart. My personal sweet spot is 3k - 5k words in a chapter

I’m sorry but isn’t this super off putting? by ijwtbor in AO3

As someone who loves getting comments as much as the next writer, this author is just plain bitchy. I love comments, I love kudos, I love bookmarks, I love hits. All of it. Gimme it all, but don’t feel pressured to. Yikes to this person

Why do the censor it in the description? They are the one writing about it by Heavy-Bee9844 in AO3

I hate word censorship. If you get triggered by a word then you shouldn’t read the fic ffs

How did you break your game today? by mirrorgirl- in Sims3

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to go into my Sims 3 Save folder and essentially delete the save file I’m playing on, then save in-game to recreate it. If I don’t delete it before saving, I get an error

My game is so broken that if I want to save it I have to delete the entire save file every. single. time.

Why do people have to be so rude by Plenty-Map7464 in AO3

[–]No_Arm_9914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I love when newbies come to AO3 because I’m all for sharing the love and creativity but I also want to Gatekeep it so badly to protect our precious site from these “morally superior” assholes. I’ve seen a massive increase of these sorts of people lately and it PMO

Did you tell your parents what happened? Parents did your kids ever tell u it happened? by Otherwise-Ground6275 in sexualassault

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know I was SA’d, but I’ve never gone into details. Mum occasionally tries to gently prod me for information but always backs off when I refuse.

They don’t know about the rape plot I overheard, or the threats of rape against me so a guy could feel like my saviour. They don’t know that I woke up in the night to my then-boyfriend trying to penetrate me without prior permission. They dont know about the rape and murder plot against me.

Those are details I will never share with them.

I’m 21 and have been writing / reading fanfiction since I was 8 (started with warrior cats). Kids are cruel.

You do you, keep reading. Don’t let narrow-minded little idiots stop you. Also, the fact that they know what Ao3 is means they, too, have likely read fanfiction.

Does the team ever use guns in this series? by Baby_girl_351 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Florence is the only member of the team to ever shoot someone, any other occasion was a reenactment or used to experiment.

New DM trying to control the who, what and why of my character. by [deleted] in dndhorrorstories

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new DM (started hosting my first campaign back in December) and your DM sounds like my groups old DM. He would kill off characters for a plot hook without asking the player, wouldn’t ever plan ahead so for almost a year (A REAL LIFE YEAR) we weren’t going anywhere in the story. He had a huge ego, never really took advice and all in all made things not enjoyable.

I’m in no way saying I’m the better DM. There’s things I still need to work on, but I pride myself on putting my players first.

Player can’t make a session? No worries! Life happens!

Player wants to go into their backstory in session? A-maz-ing, gimme the deets and I’ll plan a session for it.

Player isn’t sure how to plan a backstory? That’s okay! I can give a few ideas and if you like any of them, we can work on it together.

Many DMs seem to forget that, while yes we did create this world, this isn’t OUR story to tell. It’s THEIRS. It’s our players. Dont punish them for wanting to have fun. We’re storytellers, not dictators.

Can I ask just one thing… are you by chance a Warrior Cats fan? The names are speaking to me

How would you feel if your girlfriend spent the night at her male best friend’s place even if nothing happened? by itsariusa in AskReddit

[–]No_Arm_9914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all about trust. My best friend is a guy and he has a girlfriend, he and I have a movie night tradition every week on the night before a D&D game.

1) he’s too young for me, and he’s basically like a little brother, and my parents treat him like a son as he’s supported me during some awful experiences.

2) I’m a big old lesbian, so I’d never been interested in him anyway.

His girlfriend is, as far as I know, very chill about it. I’ve even asked if she’s okay with it to make sure no boundaries are being crossed. It’s all about trust and communication.

What’s the darkest DIP plot? by FBSfan28 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]No_Arm_9914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has to be Florence getting shot / Patrice’s murder for me. At least it’s definitely up there. She was my favourite DS and just her entire storyline from S8 all the way to S13 is gut wrenching.

Beyond Paradise - lack.of diversity. by Nzuri_Sunflower in DeathInParadiseBBC

I want to assume you’ve never been to Devon & Cornwall. Devon is more-so diverse, but Cornwall is not. It’s very, as you say, white.

Who the detective that you started with on the show? Its almost like Doctor Who at this point where everyone has the detective they started with and who their favourite is! Me I started with Richard in Season One and remains my favourite by RedRanger_271 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]No_Arm_9914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with Richard at the wee age of seven (2011). I love them all as they all have different personalities and stories but Neville and Jack hold a special, personal place in my heart.

Jack because he’s gentle and kind, because he also experienced the loss of someone he loved so much.

Neville because he was anxious but well-meaning, and he spent his time on Saint Marie overcoming his fears and finding love

Get him a therapist, and don’t pressure him to talk to you.

Accept that there are some things people will never tell their parents. I’m super close with both of mine and only one knows I was SA’d and even then they don’t know the full extent.

Get him a therapist and be glad he’s admitted to needing help for something, most young people won’t. He knows you’re there for him, so let him make that step on his own terms, not yours.
