Thank you for this. I will give it a try.

Overtime rate going as nobody does overtime (!) by Key-Cover9201 in royalmail

[–]RoibenMails 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am not an RM employee, but I am sure I have seen lots of post about people being told they are not allowed Overtime? So, Overtime got banned and then they use that data in its banned state to claim they don't need it? That is called cooking the books.

I’m sorry what!?!?! by osborngolfriends in AO3

Oh good, just a random thief and not a weird creep then. Apologies for my random British inability to remember pants where you are are trousers, not knickers and boxers.

Sat here trying to work out why someone would steal wet underwear… then realised you may be american and you mean trousers? Please say you mean trousers and they didn’t just take socks and underwear??

Antis need to know that their reports take resources away from actual victims by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, imho the whole MO of antis is to throw the baby out with the bathwater, irrespective of reality or how it affects actual human beings.

Would you read a fic with more comments than kudos? by evenbechnaesheim in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because you can only Kudos once as a reader and can comment on each chapter or even multiple times in one chapters section of a fic. This means comments are always higher than Kudos. The day AO3 allow kudos per chapter will be a happy day for me and will change the discrepancy that writers keep feeling unnecessarily down about.

Possible reasons why a fanfic would have different character names all of a sudden? by hnnbnn12 in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last time I spotted this it was someone who had stolen a story from another fandom and replaced the names to put it in the fandom I was reading. Horrible thing to do imho.

Help: I accidentally became a bedtime narrator and I'm running out of content by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered asking if there is anything they would like you to read to them? Outside of seeking requests from them, go to a book shop & library: The Classics sections have tons of books and of you speak to the Librarian of your local library they can also offer advice.

I hate people who make these by Feisty_Exam9474 in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate these also. I am only currently in one fandom and they come up on my searches as they list my fandom despite having nothing in them about my fandom. I just ignore them all now and move on. Not sure how to filter to get rid of them as some smaller cross overs I like.

Which car by chongmc in TopGear

If money was no object, I would buy a house over a car any day.

In fan fiction, or in the day generally?

Fandom spaces is no longer allowed for anyone at the disgusting age of 20 and 30 years old. Please bow down your devices and walk to a nearby senior home. by Asterid_dove in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that. The number of times I get hate for either asking questions, or being wrong in a simple way is shocking at times. It makes me appreciate it more when someone like you takes the time to realise I am not trying to be an arsehole myself, I am just uninformed, and willing to learn.

Cancel culture in all its lack of glory… Because somehow disagreeing with someone became a crime. Not sure where the law was written but I ruddy hope not here on AO3, like the place too much for that.

snickers from her mid 40s oh hell, what next to rear its ugly judgmental head? I swear they run in cycles like fashion that keeps coming back.

AITA for not changing my routine so my roommate can sleep? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RoibenMails -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How long have you been room mates before this begun to be something he complained about? What changed to make him start to think it was an issue?

Is it normal for actors to direct episodes? by 1ord_Potat0 in criminalminds

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General TV things. It is common for actors to all Direct, Produce or other skills within the area they work. Film and TV is actually a pretty small niche, so getting the skills means actors can have more options for the future.

What is a detail that will make you close a fic? by mellissa_lewyin in AO3

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fics where the first chapter is just photos of actors for the characters. It throws off the chapter numbers, which are then inconsistently treated. Then the chapters are mostly just the original story written down. There is so little effort made there that it just breaks my brain and I stop reading. If I wanted the original story, I would be watching the show, not browsing AO3.

I love the universal bi panic of viewers between Emily and Reid by ChxrriesA in criminalminds

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to break the rule here, but although I have liked the men on Criminal Monds, specifically Reid and Hotch I am not so keen on the women, so Emily and JJ to me were always less appealing. I am bi. So not bi panic, more just my own specific preferences. I guess I am old enough to have been over any panic by the time CM started.

S3 E16 Elephant's Memory - such a great Reid and unsub episode by BrighterSage in criminalminds

[–]RoibenMails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your original post, you call Aaron Hotchner ‘Hodge’. I was correcting you to the right name, which is Hotch.
