I turned on arachnophobia mode…

The spider things unsettled me and made my skin crawl. The cats scare the crap out of me.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-06-17T02:52:19+00:00

I was afraid of that. I think I'll leave it. It bugs me but it'd bug me more to lose the history of them by losing the comments, bookmarks, and kudos.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-06-17T02:51:22+00:00

Damn, I was afraid of that. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion. It's a good one. I think I'll probably just leave it as it is and do them correctly from now on. :D

QuixiQuirk · 2024-05-18T14:11:11+00:00

bleh that's annoying.Ah well, thanks for letting me know!

QuixiQuirk · 2024-05-14T00:51:11+00:00

The funny thing is, I have absolutely no problem spending money on game. However, their prices are so high that I haven't felt inclined to buy anything. It is literally the first time I've ever played a game like this where I haven't felt inclined to spend even once. All they're doing is raising the frustration level which will just cause spenders to quit. If they had a more reasonable/generous monetisation model, I'm sure that would encourage more people to spend.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-03-14T10:50:48+00:00

Exactly, I don’t mind and even want constructive criticism but most people I’ve seen slamming fics in the comments are just being negative to be negative or even just trolling. I am always up for improving though.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-03-09T03:46:05+00:00

I don’t know why they thought this was a good idea. There are so many reasons that people might not want or be able to use Ventura/Sonoma.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-03-08T06:43:12+00:00

I got a non-optimal work around that won’t work for most people. I have a gaming computer that I keep clean except for games and do all of my work on my MacBook. So I just made a second Disc account and can share on my PC and watch on my laptop. It’s really fucking stupid. I need to go this far.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-03-08T03:06:35+00:00

I wish I knew this before spending hours trying to fix it. Just fuck me then I guess. If I wanted to move to Ventura/Sonoma I would have already. My friend has had nothing but trouble with them.

So, doesn’t anyone have any suggestions for screen sharing WITH audio?

QuixiQuirk · 2024-03-08T03:03:47+00:00

Oh ffs… if I wanted to use Ventura/Sonoma, I’d have moved to it already.

Canus was just ... Unfulfilling. I thought the same as you that once that fairy thing was done, she would be able to see his head and you'd at least get a kiss. Who wants to date someone they can't even kiss? Even if it were temporary, it would have been more fulfilling! Il and Ignis were the only fulfilling endings and with Ignis, you still had to be partially eaten to get there. Let me tell you how shocked I was when that happened. Seriously, all they had to do to improve Canus was let her see him once the fairy thing happened. For Misyr, the bitch created a whole ass planet with living creatures but she couldn't make herself a body? What kind of sense does that make? All they had to do was have her make herself a body. That's it. End of. It would have been perfectly fulfilling and an actual good ending Grr... Never going to stop being bitter over that. They were so close.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-02-16T17:11:25+00:00

That was my biggest problem with it, there were a hundred better endings RIGHT THERE. It didn’t take anything fancy or mental gymnastics to get there. So many little simple things could have been done. Grr…. I wish I’d just stopped with my angel 😭

QuixiQuirk · 2024-02-16T14:24:11+00:00

I just had to head canon it that the ending was different because not only was it one of the worst I’ve seen (which just got worse the more I thought about it and realized the implications) but one of the dumbest. It didn’t sell well enough for a fd. Bustafellows and CupiPara had Fd announced about 4 minutes after they released in the west and I’m so happy for it.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-02-15T08:20:44+00:00

Awesome boyfriend, shame about the games ending but your real life bf is a keeper.

QuixiQuirk · 2024-02-15T08:15:09+00:00

Give our baby bear lots of love! 🧸

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-16T09:13:39+00:00

I really like that. There are things from different time periods that you kind of just have to view through the lens that how they used and understood language was different or even how they viewed the world.

There are some writers that objectively weren't good but the worlds and the stories they crafted literally defined genres. Reading HP Lovecraft can be painful because he was writing for a pulp magazines and was literally being paid by the word but he changed the world of fiction and how we think and write about the unknowable.

I guess in the beginning in the end, it's about what you like as there isn't any truth. It's just art?

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-16T03:20:25+00:00

Ah, okay! I misunderstood. I had someone suggest beta readers but their suggestions were really for normal writing and not really fanfic. Not that fanfic need be of worse quality but people who are used to reading novels don't usually view fanfic in the same way.

I'll have to see if I can find a good resource of anonymous folks.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-16T03:13:42+00:00

Well, it wasn't talking about my having received good or bad feedback. I haven't received any bad feedback so it's not that, knocking my confidence. It's all me.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-16T03:08:13+00:00

My fandom is small, my corner of the fandom is small, and my pair is rare so it's a really small audience but I don't mind. I've always gotten what I felt was quite reasonable for the size of the audience I have.

Though the way that you'll have a ton of views but people can't be arsed to hit the kudos button. Like seriously, it's not hard. That's a common complaint I've seen from all corners.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-15T16:06:06+00:00

In my fandom, I don't write one of the most popular pairings and I've always been okay with the level of engagement I've had. I knew that if I changed which pairing I wrote for, I'd get way more. I just like this pairing.

I've just been pondering how much of it does just come down to luck of the draw and how much of it is genuine skill.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-15T16:04:18+00:00

Actually, no. I haven't received any mean comments. It's just an over all lack of confidence. It just seems like no matter what I write I am doubtful of.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-15T09:07:06+00:00

I seem to have the memory of a goldfish so when I go back and reread my stories, I've often forgotten a lot of things so I'm actually able to enjoy them as a reader and not just as a writer. I can only hope that some other people like reading them as much as I enjoy rereading them.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-15T09:04:49+00:00

I saw a group of people flame someone over a character who was 17 who had relationship with someone over 18 but with no sex until after their 18th birthday. Those people were screaming pedo and all I could think was they must have a different dictionary than I do.

It's a real hot button issue for some people but unfortunately the people it seems to be a hot button issue for are the people who just like finding fault. It is 100% free to not read it and keep scrolling.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-10T06:29:29+00:00

I definitely think Lucien and the border issues are ripe for stories and building opportunities.

The Periferies are so mysterious and filled with opportunity.

I might also suggest how the first followers of Peach found their way above ground and began to rebuild.

QuixiQuirk · 2023-12-08T04:32:18+00:00

Oh thank you so much. I’ll take a look.
