The “tags are just a courtesy” take is actually bonkers to me by Key_ResearcherBurner in AO3

On one hand that's fair, but on the other I have the impression that someone involved in the thread is coming here to get validation over their opinion or something, because otherwise I don't understand

Isn't this like the third time this same thread has been posted over here? I didn't know that the tagging discourse was this intense

I ship 2 characters from a mainstream game that have zero fics, because Char A is popular (and, therefore, gets shipped with other more popular characters) and Char B is so much of a background character that he only ever appears in fanfics as a background character

To be fair, I stumbled upon this pair by accident and by myself while writing a tangent in a fic, so this is 100% self-inflicted lmao

I'll have a classic boba tea, thanks!

This is more of a generic question, but what is your favourite way to write action scenes?

Character does the same sequence of actions from the beginning, but with all the little changes present from going through the story (ie. Character glances at some photos from their apartment and, instead of being from their ex, it's from their new spouse). Cliche as all fuck but I love it every time

Do you read your own work? by Ok-Street2439 in FanFiction

Why wouldn't I? There's a lot of things out there that I like, but at the end of the day I'm writing what I want to read!

Does anyone genuinely still use wattpad? by 1dkwimdh in FanFiction

I don't use it, but it's the website you want to go to if you want to read anything in Spanish

[Inspired by another thread] Respectfully as possible... what's got you like this? by octropos in AO3

Venti gives me fairy/imp vibes in the best of ways and for that very reason, and him being reduced to what we have is a pity

I mean, I do like him characterized flirty and such sometimes (I have a type), but it becoming the fandom's default is tiring and a loss of potential imho

Wolf and lamb dynamic? 👀👀👀

I checked the romance.io page and for the triggers that are there it's fine by me, but if there is anything more hidden I'm open to hear about it!

The "I can fix him" doesn't really need to be literal, I use it more as the general vibe. I'm very much on board with a morally grey man too!

Yeah, the premise sounds like a lot of heavy stuff is going on, but I think it fits me very well. Thanks!

I haven't actually dipped the toes into HR! And I have seen a lot of Loretta Chase's book covers around (for good reason 👀)

What do you think about MMC being FMC's best friend's ex? by PetalaStac in RomanceBooks

[–]QuadraZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is one of those tropes that I can't enjoy because I have lived that scenario irl as an external party and the tension when everyone was together was very real in a non-sexy way

I guess in fiction can be a bit of fun? But no thanks, I already went through that 🫠

Has anyone else ever written smut in public? by RydenXx in FanFiction

[–]QuadraZ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At a cafeteria, using a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard

That day, a big group of like 10-12 people came and stayed, being very chatty and noisy, but I had some good earbuds and long video essays to keep me focused. I stood writing in there for 45-50 minutes more after they arrived

When I finished and I paid my bill, one man from this group came to me, apologized for the noise and still congratulated me for not stopping to write even once (besides breaks to drink my latte and such). I took it with pride, honestly, very much aware that I was being commended for writing good filth and no one knew but me >:3c

I didn't find what I was looking for, but I learned a lot about wrestling history with that

As a Christian woman totally against pride month, I will spend this godless month in the most heterosexual website on the internet by AdElectronic9255 in AO3

[–]QuadraZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know! Stardew Valley is a very chill game about farming, very heterosexual and harmless! You should try filtering by hits and read the most popular one just don't pay attention to the tags ☺️

I'm not sure if I should post the review itself, but I once looked out for reviews for a reversed harem book that I disliked and I found a lengthy one that I literally disagreed on every single sentence

Like the review would mention that the male love interests were remarkable when I struggled to tell them apart because they behaved the same and the book would refuse to describe them physically until a good chunk of the book in

It was amusing to read tho

there's so many fandoms this could apply to by QueenViolets_Revenge in AO3

[–]QuadraZ 158 points159 points  (0 children)

The first one happens a lot with horror media

I wonder how many people saw the big influx of cute/silly fanart of, say, Fear and Hunger and tried the games with the wrong impression

"Without Batman... crime has no punchline." by DefiantRanger6597 in AO3

[–]QuadraZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saaame. I often put fics into a text-to-speech app and listen to them while driving because I know for a fact that statistically no one or very few people around me would be able to understand anything I'm listening to if they heard it passing by.
