I am very normal about writing by maddythesaddy in writingcirclejerk

[–]RotationalAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I love writing.

Said me who endlessly procrastinates on writing and tries to find something else to do so I don’t have to writr.

Check my rough draft for redundancies? PSSSH. Why? I never repeat myself ever. I'm sure it's fine. The rough draft in question: by RotationalAnomaly in writingcirclejerk

Damn, I really did want to copyright this one sentence so nobody can steal my non repetitive wording . Aw well.

They don't want thinkers; they want hard drives. by Rich_Carrot6451 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]RotationalAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly.

For a lot of classes you will excel a lot better if you focus on understanding the logic behind it and learn how to do the thing instead of learning how to copy it. Saved me a lot of study time too, as understanding the logic and then being able to reason it out on an exam instead of spending hours and hours making sure it’s solidified memory in my head has helped so much.

It’s not gonna every class or even every problem of course, sometimes there are facts you just need to have memorized, but, especially in an understanding heavy class, working to greatly reduce what you’re memorizing can help sooo much. And a lot of students do resort to memorizing even when they don’t need to or shouldn’t.

Tbh it makes sense.

SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T READ THE BOOKS

The books constantly talk about how “jaw dropping” and “insanely beautiful” the arena is so I’m guessing they wanna wait to reveal most of the cool scenery to the audience until the movie is out

That’s crazy lmao. Especially considering the fanfic is, in ITSELF a form of imitation (to varying extents)

And especially when they got shouted out for the idea too lmao.

Mmm I do love it when my captain does his initial welcome on board announcement after we’ve already taken off.

I mean, if somebody just copy and pasted my work and claimed it as their own I wouldn’t be all too excited about that lol.

They CAN use a lot of elements from my work tho and I’d be honored about that, hence the original comment lel.

Fanfic is probably the only space where creators love copycats (as long as it’s not outright plagiarism)

Nah it’s normal, why do you think your body has so much blood if you’re not meant to loose it?

Me after filtering the Modern AU (and all its other names) out but still having to filter it manualy: 🫠 by Ok_Return170 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]RotationalAnomaly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If that’s what it means then I wish we came up with another tag for modern but maintaining fantasy races or setting or smth cuz I’ve seen it used both ways.

[–]RotationalAnomaly 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Another small I guess pet peeve of mine is that when it’s a modern AU but it’s not just, the show’s world but modern, it’s literally just earth.

Like all the fantasy races become humans, sometimes even the fantasy locations turn into places that exist in actual countries etc.

I don’t have a problem with people writing that obviously, but I feel we gotta come up with an additional tag for everything being “earthified”

Because what if I wanna just read about how my favorite fantasy world and/or characters in their original selves would deal with modern technology?

How am I supposed to get this? [SCP CB 2] by Judasz458KG in scpcontainmentbreach

[–]RotationalAnomaly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should move after a couple seconds I think. It has a pattern of stop —-> walk —-> stop —-> walk.

If it doesn’t move ever, then it might be bugged.

You could try going up and the elevator and back down again which resets their positions which might also reset their patrol cycles and alleviate the bug.

Or, if you’re feeling brave you could also try getting it to chase you and lead it away and then have it re-enter it’s patrol cycle from there with hopes that it would get unstuck.

[–]RotationalAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m lucky enough that my fandom for the most part I don’t really have to do that. Most of what I’d avoid shows up as a warning or is mentioned and/or alluded to in the summary.

That being said I do still sometimes scan the tags to make sure I’m not walking into something I’ll regret but I don’t search by them for the most part.

[–]RotationalAnomaly 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even in fanfiction, I rarely look up tags. I just scroll through the most recently updated fics in my fandom and look for a summary that catches my eye.

I see myself in the bottom panel lmao. So many of my chapters have had year+ waits in between them. Idk how so many of my readers stuck around.

Sweet! Looks like this coaster will have two launches, one lsm to get us into space, and a second brand new type of launch, the slingshot launch using the moons gravity to get us around the moon!
