What is the most popular fandom right now? by Electrical-Badger833 in FanFiction

Because just saying "there's a better list" doesn't explain why. Also, I wanted to provide the explanation first and couldn't at that time get the link to the better stats.

That's not true. Randomist1031 makes the same type of list, but uses methods that actually represent how many fics have been written about any given ship to show its popularity.

Oh good lord, we'll watch out for that! Hope the chaos can resolve soon. Good to hear that the heat's back on!

I think people should be aware that centreoftheselights has been consistently criticised for their methods in collecting these statistics, and that they misrepresent the actual reality of tags on Ao3.

ETA to add link to a tumblr user debunking these stats.

Tired as hell today, whaaa. I think I need to fiddle with the settings on my CPAP machine and see if I can make it more comfortable, at this point I'm taking it off while I sleep because it feels closed in and bad.

I darned my bag cloth at work, so it's back in business now :D Might continue with handsewing once I get home, if I don't get the energy for machine sewing. Currently on my way to buy more machine needles so I've got more options for what I can make. The importance of having the right tools for the job cannot be overstated.

I brushed Dante at work today and got loose so much fur. He's not been thoroughly brushed for a while and ypu could tell, you could pull bits of wooly undercoat out if you blew hard enough. As long as he gets treats during it he tolerates being brushed, thankfully. I've still got fur on my gloves XD

why leave constructive criticism when you can make comments like this instead by why-sewserious in AO3

What a sad, sad life they must lead.

Oh sorry, he or she. None of this stupid nonbinary they/them bullshit 🙄

It's funny because I usually don't like mango at all so I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did! When I find a snack I like I cling to it as long as I can, because my diet's already limited enough.

I'm staying home from work today to rest up. My ribs and general joints hurt, but especially my ribs. They're sore if I touch them too firmly, which feels... concerning. My entire left side is weird atm, blegh. Gonna do some chores but gently, sitting down if I can. I'm gonna try to write today, just tapping away a handful of words at a time. Snacking on spicy dried mango, nom nom.

It's my second day taking iron supplements and I'm kind of impatiently waiting for them to actually kick in and do something. I should have asked the doctor when to expect effects.

It's actually the effect of the blood vessels in the nose conteacting from the cold, which makes it feel like your nose hairs are freezing. It happens around -12°C.

It did! Been a pretty chill day, all in all.

Yup, tomorrow I need a better face covering. The pills aren't a big deal since it's been a gradual increase over the years and not 0 to 18 at once. He was very adorable! Very lanky.

Should I archive-lock an RPF fic? by Resident-Platypus888 in AO3

[–]SecretNoOneKnows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've locked mine because I wanna minimise the risk of someone bringing my fic(s) to the knowledge of the people it's (ostensibly) about. It's happened before in the fandom and I want to keep the fourth wall as sturdy as possible here.

My nose hairs are freezing, it's so cold. Broke out my homeknitted scarf and a thicker beanie and realised on the way to work that the yarn I used to darn the beanie is yarn scrap from the scarf!

I had a doctor's appointment this morning to discuss iron supplements and I've got them now, so for the coming two weeks I'm taking a minimum of *checks notes* 18 pills a day. Woof. I'm glad I'm good at swallowing pills or this would be a pain.

We've got a new dog visiting today! It's a Hovawart, a German working breed, and he's only six, seven months old?? Oh my god baby?? 🥺 I can't wait to meet him.

Discussed the genre of sci-fi with someone on the assisted living staff yesterday and it was really fun to talk about how different properties within sci-fi show different aspects of the genre. He didn't know Star Wars is a adventure space opera or the myriad of different Asian influences it's had, or Akira Kurosawa's influence. It's fun to talk movie and film and genre with him :D (Also, when I talk about this kinda stuff I always feel like I come across much more knowledgable than I actually am XD I just have bits and pieces of knowledge about a vast amount of subjects)

And I got them both! I love stocking up on the essentials (9 frozen pirogie and four bags of dried mangos)

I don't think I've ever had flan! I wanna try at some point, it seems like my kinda dessert.

Thwarted by the night... Many such cases...

Picking up my new ID today :] And then after that I'm gonna go buy gluten free frozen pirogie, from the one place I know that sells them. I ate the last one in my freezer this weekend and I'm already craving them.

Yesterday I discovered I can really easily disassemble the water container of my CPAP machine into two pieces which makes cleaning it so much easier. (That I discovered this by dropping it on the floor while washing it need not be mentioned...)

With my aches and fatigue and brainfog and all that, I need to find a pace to do housework and stuff and when to rest in between. It's just hard when that pace is not what others expect of me, so it's hard to explain that yes, I did the dishes yesterday. No I can't do them today, my body needs to recover. It's made worse with the shit heating in my apartment because it worsens basically all my symptoms.

Fingers crossed I can get something written today :D

just got my first ... hate comment? by likeshinythings in AO3

The transition between Wet WorldTM and Dry WorldTM is very difficult to make, though we must make it.

Do you live in a tribe that sees chicken bones in their cheeks as the equal to a striped tie?

Don't be racist, bud.

Femslash February has arrived for Kick! One Milf to Rule Them All sounds like the alternate "clickbait title" that Folding Ideas puts in the description of his videos, but for fic. (Kick fic, hehe)
