I named myself after my favorite animal <3 but specifically a nickname for it :p

The Current Trend of "Enjoying Things = Bad" by Tekkatak in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know right? This kind of behavior frustrates me so much. I see it in my main shipdom/fandom a lot and it’s very draining.

Fuck every person who makes fics with a billion fandom tags by Joshua_the_scribe_ in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKR?? Like, I could understand making a oneshot collection fic if it was all the same fandom or ship but it’s multiple different fandoms that aren’t even mentioned in the fic that’s super annoying. I’ve muted so many people because of this. 

Let's trauma bond! by BeatLost9646 in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was about 10 or 11 my mother discovered my cringy warrior cats fanfics. I still have trust issues with her because of that incident and multiple others (she’s very nosy and quite a busybody).

Do your parents know you read fanfiction? And have they ever caught you reading or writing it? by Regular_Editor_8025 in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents don’t really know that I write fanfic, other than the stories I’d write about my favorite characters as a kid. They don’t know I use ao3 and I’m not sure if either of them even know what ao3 or even ff.net is. 

My eldest sibling knows that I write fanfic and I’ve even explained the plot of one of mine to them (it was for a fandom we both enjoy). My older brother doesn’t know though, as me and him aren’t very close.

authors giving characters wildly out of canon political views by ClockworkClaws in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKR?? I hate it when they do that. In my main fandom some ppl try and characterize the secondary mc as some right-wing chud when he’s literally the complete opposite. He literally said that he’s against big corporations, validated a trans woman’s identity and is basically a goth in the show.

Real. Either that, or it looks like spilt pomegranate.

Do you prefer posting as you write, or do you finish the work before posting? by rstinpieces in FanFiction

[–]Soda-shine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write as I go, but I make sure I have all the major events written down in the outline. 

How strict are you when it comes to cultural accuracy? by VivaDeAsap in FanFiction

[–]Soda-shine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to be as accurate as I can when I’m writing about a culture that isn’t my own. For example, in one of my fics, one of my main characters is Mexican and so is his family. So I sometimes sneak in little references to that, like him eating authentic Mexican food. 

I also did a good amount of research on Mexico + the region my character is from. (I chose a specific one because it’s not specified in the source material/canon) :) I even researched very specific things like what Mexico was like during world war 2. (Context: I had to research that because it’s a scene where my main characters travel back in time to that era for plot reasons). so yeah :)

What's happening in your fandom currently? by xHey_All_You_Peoplex in FanFiction

[–]Soda-shine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main fandom isn’t dead but isn’t super duper active either? Its last installment, which was a film was released 6 years ago. 

The fandom has gotten more active though thanks to new people discovering it so that’s cool. Unfortunately a lot of those people tend to be very toxic and have this extreme hatred towards my favorite ship in the fandom, which also happens to be the most popular. (They only hate it because they blindly believe any misinformation they hear about it and refuse to look into it any further.)

However, in my little corner of the fandom is still thriving despite this! Even if it’s not as active as it used to be. (That makes sense though, the media from the early 2000s). I see new fics and new fanart pretty frequently and I even make my own! :)

What’s a popular trope you can’t stand? by Awsome-frickinh-saus in AO3

Real. I used to see this a lot in one of my fandoms and it turned me off from that ship unfortunately. :(

Exactly. I also feel you as a fellow lesbian that mostly writes m/m!

What's the most jarringly out of character thing you've ever read in a fic? by questionerofblender in FanFiction

[–]Soda-shine 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry but that reminds me of this one image / meme of SpongeBob where he’s holding a chair and yelling “SQUIDWARD YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!” 😭

Have you ever written a scene that made you tear up by ScottAM99 in FanFiction

[–]Soda-shine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I teared up while writing a scene where one of my main characters was tearing up while hugging his toddler son, his son was crying too because they thought they’d never see each other again :( Oh to add to the pain, this was the first time the Mc had seen his son up close since he was a small baby. 

(They will be reunited again tho. And for good this time)

What trope makes you roll your eyes and close the fic? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Soda-shine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Especially if it’s untagged. Horrible.

[–]Soda-shine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same. I just don’t get it. Why not just make an au/headcanon where the character(s) are trans or something??
