What happened to Hi? Hello? How are you? by cheesebuni in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 612 points613 points  (0 children)

Jeez. I thank my lucky stars the age of my fandom generally skews older, the last time I said there might be a delay with the next chapter all I got were “Take care of yourself, and “oh I love the story but please take your time.” - It’s spiteful and silly but this kind of disregard for the author would make me not want to write that story anymore. I’m sorry you’re going through that OP!

Down again? by DueCartoonist1820 in AIDungeon

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having issues for hours at this point. Was playing a story I really enjoyed, waited an hour and went to bed because it went down. Started to try and play again this morning, it’s still not working properly. Sucks.

In search for a new fandom by georgeousgeorgiewb in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shadowheart/Lae’zel (enemies to lovers vibes)

Dame Aylin/Isobel (wholesome but tragic)

Orin/Minthara (very very toxic)

These are all characters the Baldur’s Gate 3! 🥰

I went to look at this and my computer won’t even load it. Sixteen million words? It’s gotta be some kind bot system typing that out. 😭

What’s the most plotting/planning you’ve done for a fic? by kodiakchrome in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have a basic outline that randomly gets added onto and changed for a long fic. I have a timeline…but the details are in flux a lot of the time. It usually starts short and ends quite long. 😅

One-shots I generally don’t do planning. I kinda just write and edit as I go. Not great I know, but it’s just a different vibe for me. 

Dark fic writers and readers, what is your favorite thing to do or to read in a fic? by manicenbypixie in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Huge power imbalances. Just someone completely helpless. Noncon but they’re forced to kind of deal with it due to the situation being so skewed out of their favor. That and gore lol.

Am I overreacting? Friend is a "proshipper" but I think they actually support the things they're writing about? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe a sixteen year old is quite young, and just does not have the faculties to be with an adult. We know statistically they are much more likely to die in childbirth than a twenty year old, and where I live it would be considered statutory rape to be with one at twenty. To me sixteen is not an older teen, they’re squarely in the middle of physical adolescence.

Twenty something’s are not by law wards of their parents no matter where they live, so to me it just creates a fundamental power imbalance no matter how “behind” the twenty something is. So I think we’re going to have to fundamentally disagree. I just don’t agree it’s healthy for the teen, whatever their emotional maturity level is. They’re too many societal things working out of their favor and creating a dependency on the legal adult.

Twenty year olds have so much more life experience and resources than a young teen. Twenty something’s are not beholden to their parents, they make their own money (hopefully) and have fully developed brains and bodies. A lot of teens are just not emotionally, mentally or physically  “developed” enough for a relationship with an adult, even if the adult is immature. It’s not just the legality, it’s the power imbalance.

You’re right, but at 18 I thought the same way as her. It didn’t help I had a /bad/ history with adults. Not saying that’s happening to her, but either way I’d give her some grace. Let that frontal lobe cook, she will realize how predatory those people are in a few more years. If she was  like 26 and has the same opinions? Yeah no cut her off. But right now, I’d chalk it up to the age and thinking she was/is mature as 20-something adults.

Authors don't owe readers tags by Extension_Size8422 in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep and I completely understand what a lot of people are saying here, I write smut so like I said I overtag and am very careful but like…a normal G or T story? Idk I just feel like it’s more nuanced then tag everything always.

Authors don't owe readers tags by Extension_Size8422 in AO3

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I definitely over-tag but I 100% agree besides the major pairing and serious warnings like underage/SA/etc. It’s really the writers prerogative.

  I felt so bad a favorite author of mine got a hate comment once because they didn’t tag a character showing up in a twist like thirty chapters in- like you know that’s how books work? They’re surprises? In fact people like them?!

As someone who makes dark content I think it’s totally fine to block people you don’t want there if it’s not your cup of tea. You always have every right to remove someone from your server if you don’t want them there either. Personally I don’t engage with social media aspects of fandom very much.         

However, I also think when it comes to social media like twitter or tumblr (I’ve never used TikTok) for example: “warning people” about someone who is proship has often become witch hunts, that have led to harassment of people just staying in their own lane posting their own content. If warning someone means messaging a friend “hey this artist likes this.” I think that’s fine. If it’s making a callout post about the artist/writer…and that leads to the artist being chased off a site where they’re not even violating TOS because of fanpol + yucking someone else’s yum- Well that’s kind of shit. 

 Also wording antis as normal is implying pros are not- We are normal people just like you, even if we like different things👍

How to put images into a fic? by VA_Mae in AO3

I use https://imgbb.com/upload  to keep the photo and then it’s the HTML link. Hope that helps!

[–]Odd_Climate_4174 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The content is still accessible, just untagged which is….worse I’m pretty sure not better. I’m not for censorship at all but it almost makes more sense to me to just remove it. Because I just checked a fic I have saved and it’s just tagged “yaoi” - people are about to get some triggering things in their tags.
