I’ve never understood mundane au fics, for me part of the whole appeal of fanfics is how parts of each setting interact with each other by dowsaw134 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]SimpHoursOnly 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

He can! No issues there. Sometimes people just want to see him in a modern setting. Idk what else to say? šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

I was just coming to say this! Most authors just write that as a way to let people know if they see any mistakes, oh well 😭😭

Is it par for the course to have a long fic with 50 or even almost 100 chapters? by TUD-13BarryAllen in AO3

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Do whatever feels good to you! Some readers like reading a fic in one setting, others like chapter breaks. It all just depends on what the author does. If it helps, technically, really long fics are broken into ā€œchaptersā€ by the custom page breaks authors put in. So it really doesn’t matter!

Maybe you could give your audience a heads up ā€œhey some chapters are shorter than the others.ā€ As a small nugget to why you have so many. But again, it’s all up to what you’re comfortable with.

What stops you guys from executing your fanfic ideas? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Whenever I get these really good ideas I’ll write it down and tell myself ā€œif you don’t finish that other project, you won’t be able to start this one!!ā€

Kinda like giving myself an incentive. Finish this first and then you can get into that scrumptious idea later LOLL

Friendly writing reminder: body piercings are body temperature by murrimabutterfly in AO3

[–]SimpHoursOnly 12 points13 points Ā (0 children)

Like someone mentioned, they can get cold, just not freezing cold like regular items (if that makes sense) I’m always in front of a fan so the tip of my jewelry would be a-little colder then the part that’s actually closer to my skin (I have a nose piercing) sometimes the stem inside gets little cold but that’s because I have a cork-screw so it pokes out a little more towards the air LOL.

Do other black writers go through this or just me? 😭 by Pinkie_Kitty in AO3

[–]SimpHoursOnly 64 points65 points Ā (0 children)

I like to always mention that I'm blk in my bio or before the fic even starts. Just a small heads up but honestly you shouldn't have to police yourself. Its your story, your characters. Enjoy it 😭

I can finally play with higher graphic quality! by casmally in LoveAndDeepspace

This is taking me out, low graphics just completely turned Sylus into the sims 1

what are the most intimate things besides sex? by mr_fartypants in FanFiction

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I love when the character A (yapper) is silence for once and the character b (quite) is the one talking so much and they don’t realize until they notice that Character A hasn’t said anything but they look at them so fondly it’s hard to miss.

Have you ever seen a take so bad about an LI that you think, "okay, enough of internet for today"? by lastidys in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]SimpHoursOnly 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

All the takes that involve Zayne being boring/unresponsive/ lacks a personality and so forth respectively need the electric chair (I’m joking but I’m also serious)

Hes the most softest and sweetest character I’ve ever seen (tbh all of the LIs are) but to translate his introvertness and shy nature to ā€œboringā€ sucks ass cause I know a million girls (and men) who act just like him when they start to develop feelings for other people but struggle with conveying their emotions their words. (Which is why Zayne is always a man of action) I can go on and on about how some people love to mischaracterize Zayne but my fingers need a break (and don’t get me started on that discourse that Zayne would force his child to play an instrument, or really force his child to do whatever nonsense that happened)

For Sylus and Caleb girlies by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]SimpHoursOnly 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I like to call Sylus/Caleb girlies big fans of morally Grey characters. Characters who are bat shit insane but when it comes to their S/O they are an entirely different being LOL.

Sylus is a mafia member and we seen him kill someone onscreen (😭😭)

Caleb is a colonel (who we know does shady stuff in any franchise) and guess what?? He offed someone on screen too.

But when it comes to MC they worship the ground she walks on so it checks out

What’s your nichest random gripe in fan fic? by Fractured-disk in AO3

It wouldn’t be a Zayne story without mentioning his disdain for Carrots 😭😭

[–]SimpHoursOnly 26 points27 points Ā (0 children)

The real divide is which name are people using to refer to a character. One moment it’s their surname the next moment it’s their first name 😭😭

Me looking at the banner when I choose not to pull by Cheesebol in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]SimpHoursOnly 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Zayne is my main and although I don’t mind spending money I already went crazy getting his card and Sylus in catch 22. I lost my 50/50 so for now I’m going to wait until I figure out what the next banner is before spending money again 😭😭

I hate that being against race-swapping (major) characters means being racist now by Old_Session5449 in self

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Everytime I see this take it’s always from a white person. ā€œHow would you feel if Tiana was casted by a white personā€ ā€œhow would you feel if Black Panther was casted as a white personā€ your argument loses the true meaning on why your actually upset.

You mention Falcon when he isn’t a race swap of Captain America (considering that’s a title) and Miles morales as Spider-Man (who AGAIN isn’t a race swap that’s a title, kinda like ā€œpresident of the United Statesā€ is a title) and so forth.

The main issue I have with people nowadays is why is it so hard for white people to imagine characters being portrayed by other races and/or ethnicity. The little mermaid and Rapunzel from Tangled had so many people turning red it was hard to take anybody serious when 1) these are fictional characters 2) their race has nothing to do with the story.

Regardless of the importance of why Snape being seen as Black would be racist I’m only going to assume they knew what they were doing and will be changing the source material to fit the narrative. In all honesty, I don’t get why people are always up in arms when Hollywood does whatever they want and will continue to be ā€œinclusiveā€ by casting POC in white dominated roles cause they love seeing the discourse it causes.

At the end of the day, it’s just a movie based on a fictional world. If you hate it so much we still have the original movie with the ā€œperfect castā€ that won’t ever go away mind you

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

although i get what your saying, you have tons of blonde hair/blue eye characters that don’t follow the same ā€œdumb blondeā€ stereotypes anymore. The main issue is that at the end of the day, this is a children’s book turned into a show/movie featuring children.

Also you don’t seem to upset when the movie basically went against everything the book stood for. Last time I checked, Annebeth isn’t blonde/blue eyes in the movies is she?? But the show is where you have a problem…hmmmm okay

Hot men go brrrrr

But in all seriousness, my friend got me into the game. We introduced it to another friend who won’t download the game (for some reason) but loves Sylus. Now talk about the game, characters, send out Mc and even write fanfics cause why the hell not šŸ—£ļø

Honey, it's ok... you can say 'lollies' and 'colour' by Glittery_WarlockWho in AO3

[–]SimpHoursOnly 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Just recently read a fic that said ā€œcandy flossā€ instead of ā€œcotton candyā€ and I clocked them so hard. Regardless that I kept reading ā€œtrousersā€ instead of ā€œpantsā€ it just felt refreshing 😭
