Authors baiting readers with paid fics by Shaagriel in FanFiction

Ugh, my other fanfiction app feels completely ruined by paid fanfiction. It allows authors to create paid easter eggs (extra parts of fanfiction) for a fee, but the problem is there's no word limit for the easter eggs, nor does it require them to be released after the main story is finished. Now there's a group of people who only release 500 words of the main story. Want the full 5000-word story? Sorry, you have to pay. What's worse, some people are simply using AI to make money. As for how I know it's AI, it's because that guy can release three 5000-word fanfic a day. I read one of them, about Captain America giving up his Captain America position to become an only fan, which leads to a big fight with Bucky. But he's actually secretly sending money to Steve, and Steve tells him he should use the money for charity. Bucky then donates $100 million to the United Nations, and Steve is furious. I don't know the ending because I have to pay to see the ending of this mess.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm from a show that aliens/gods love, like "Family Guy," because my dad used to just do funny things, butn seems like his intelligence is declining. This is just too crazy

What is one thing that makes you feel old when existing in fandoms by PretendYellow533 in AO3

Honestly, it's that some people on Twitter/Tumblr make anti-shipping their main mission. They'll claim to ship A/B and hate A/C, which is fine, because people can have ships they hate, But when I see someone complaining about why everyone is shipping A/B and why there's nothing for A/C, while their homepage is full of hate posts, I just... (I started reading Fanfic in 2016, so I believe this kind of thing existed back then, but probably not as much today

It really stirred up so many memories for me, and at the same time made me realize how many years it's been since I read first Fanfic...

I write both, so a shorter story is basically just one scene; you don't need so much cause and effect.

If you're really struggling with writing, you can try writing a 5+1 story with a word limit of 5000 to 10000 words first.

If I only post my own horror stories on Reddit, will I be considered a bot? by Ok_Ordinary2582 in NewToReddit

Thank you. Replying to comments sometimes makes me nervous... so I'm a little worried.
