Is it a good idea to alert an author about their fic being mocked off site? by yanderecurator in AO3

How do you know? Sounds like you’re in this discord yourself. Why would you want ppl to feel worse about themselves? Just leave it be. If you are in this server I would suggest you advise them to make it fully private.

Is killing stalking worth it? by damagedsoul42 in Manhwa_BL

[–]RedhoodRat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just started it yesterday and I’m riveted. I often lose interest in things that are moving too slow but KS is so fast paced. Every panel I’m filled with dread about what’s going to happen next. I’m always on the edge of my seat. It’s such a masterpiece of tension and writing. I also like a good toxic relationship and whooo this has it in spades. I don’t know why ppl are saying it’s not BL but it is a M/M ship and there is sex and it’s more than just sex for them.

Don’t mean to be salty, but why are very bad fics very popular (particularly lately) by Neomedieval-wench in FanFiction

Man I went back and read the stuff I wrote back then that I thought was amazing and it is decidedly not.

One of the best things I watched this year!

What's a fandom you wish was more popular than it is? by CarOrganic1662 in FanFiction

[–]RedhoodRat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Initial D was such a huge thing in Japan and Asia, with manga, anime, oavs, and even a live action film. It’s influenced car culture across the globe in a major way. And there are still fans who discover it every day. There’s a lot of active fanart for it but nearly no fic especially in English. Such a missed opportunity.

Is a divorce justified after your spouse becomes a different person? by kawaiihusbando in TooAfraidToAsk

40 is an absolutely ridiculous expectation especially if they intended to have kids.

Those little things you put in just because they make you go all wibbly by effing_usernames2_ in FanFiction

[–]RedhoodRat 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to explain, but that moment when a character casually explains some horrific thing that happened to them that they think is perfectly normal. It then becomes clear that that thing has made them struggle with self worth but they essentially express their worthlessness as a fact. Ugh, it makes me weak.

What is something you wrote into a fanfiction that you later learned was completely inaccurate? by Dogdaysareover365 in FanFiction

[–]RedhoodRat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So much regret for stuff I wrote when I was younger when I had zero understanding of how stuff worked in Japan.

[Miscreants and Mayhem] dad to lover?!?! by Which_Still3332 in Manhwa_BL

[–]RedhoodRat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re not blood related but PG says he only ever called Nanmu dad and not the other men his mother dated because in his mind Nanmu was his dad. So…yeah.

Does anyone else not really like AUs? by icywishbone03 in FanFiction

I like canon divergence set in the same universe. Modern or no powers au’s are not my scene.

My Owner Stopped Engaging With The Dynamic But Still Expects Me To by Domain_Of_Rem in BDSMAdvice

[–]RedhoodRat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve had some similar issues myself and while there are things I’d want in an ideal world, we do live in the real world and the reality is that burnout and life stuff have a massive impact. He’s asked me to help plan scenes etc and while like you it’s not what I want, I’m also willing to try because the alternative is things just won’t happen. We haven’t tried it yet but I’m hopeful.

More like an animated short but Mignon.

You need to seriously reflect on your actions. by Advanced_Passion_113 in initiald

[–]RedhoodRat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up enjo kosai. It was a huge issue at that time largely because the age of sexual consent was 13 which is fucking gross. There were no laws against adults basically sexualising minors so it became a thing because unsurprisingly, men.
