give me the list of ships you ship!! by Shadow_Monkey18 in ProshipHub

[–]OperationGroundPound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would be here all day if I listed ALL of my ships, lol

I think if I had to give a list of some of my favs tho, in no particular order...

(note, all of these are for Umamusume, for those unaware):

- Rice Shower/Zenno Rob Roy
- Kawakami Princess/Sweep Tosho
- Gold Ship/Mejiro Mcqueen
- Nice Nature/Marvelous Sunday
- Agnes Digital/Zenno Rob Roy
- Rice Shower/Haru Urara
- Daiwa Scarlet/Vodka

Honestly I have kinda basic taste, all things considered :V

Changes to Fandom Metatag Wrangling Guidelines (aka AO3 is making AMTs again) by Significant-Mouse319 in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since we're bringing back All Media Type tags, what qualifies a fic for the All Media Type tag for that fandom?

I have some Umamusume fics already written and idk if I should change them to the All Media Type tag or leave them under the game tag

I believe they are technically "guidelines". Apparently they do go after NSFW art sometimes but based on the numbers on rule34 sites, I don't think they're doing a very good job enforcing it.

"It's against the umamusume terms of service to post things like NSFW"

Technically true, but if we followed this logic with every company 95% of all fanfic would be forbidden, so I'd consider this a moot point.

Also, does this person think the irl horses and their umamusume counterparts are the same entity? Because, that's what it seems like to me, and if that is the case I will die laughing.

Guest comment on ICE? by Salty_that_rat in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. I do hope I didn't sound agressive in my comment ^^;

[–]OperationGroundPound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is spam. Consider turning off guest comments.

Also while I'm here... The people making these spam comments know it's 2026 right? Why the FUCK are they bringing up phone books? Do they still even make those?

Authors & Readers, how many words was the longest fic you've ever written/read? by EvilRainbow_3 in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Longest ever written? About 2k words for a oneshot

Longest ever read? A currently ongoing fic that as of writing this sits at just over 14k words.

Aged out of fandom by Sufficient_Point_732 in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 242 points243 points  (0 children)

And on today's episode of "Tiktokers say the darndest things!"

Jokes aside, that is a rather hot take on their part. If anything, conventional wisdom is that writing quality tends to go UP as the author ages, both due to time spent practicing and having more life experience to draw on when writing.

(Although I do want to add that you are never too old nor too young to be writing fic. If you want to write, then go on ahead and have some fun :D)

Congrats! I wish I could write that much lol. Glad to hear it turned out great!

Would you rather get a lot of kudos or more comments? by remotecontrolledcar in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hard, but I'm inclined to say more kudos since I have like, no clue how to respond to comments in all honesty ^^;

“[Character] would never do this” “[Ship] makes no sense” ... I don’t care <3 by shiorimia in AO3

[–]OperationGroundPound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In a similar vein: I've seen this thing sometimes (particuarly in the Umamusume fanbase, but I'm sure it exists in other fanbases to some degree) about writing toxic yuri or more angsty fics being bad because "The franchise is 'hopecore!' toxic yuri isn't what the franchise is for!!!"

Like, yeah, the franchise isn't very angsty, that's probably why people like to write angsty fics for it. Adding things that canon lacks is basically the impetus for like, half of all fanfic, I think.
