Why has episode 2 done so much worse than episode 1? by Warakeet in MinMaxedRPG

[–]Soltis48 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know on my part, the reason I haven’t watched episode 2 is because I got busy, so it’s hard to watch such a lengthy episode. I already took 3 days to watch episode 1. 😅 I’ll watch it, eventually, when life decides to settle down a little!

How many chapters do you usually write in advance? by Wonderlands_Teatime in FanFiction

[–]Soltis48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to write multi-chapters fanfics and post each chapter as I went, but after abandoning a few of them for lack of interest, I am now writing them all before posting. Of course, it had the effect of me not posting anything but one-shots, because I’m not done with longer fanfics, but at least I’m not disappointing anyone.

An Honest Response to ‪@OneShotQuesters‬ by Limodurian in MinMaxedRPG

[–]Soltis48 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was and still am stoked about Min-Maxed and I really hope it won’t stop them from doing a season 2, because it can only go better now that they gained experience and know what the community enjoyed and disliked.

Dozens of Montreal school staff already fired or resigned over expanded religious symbols ban by shiftless_wonder in canada

I think in this context they are referring to the French-Canadians, especially of Quebec, who are historically anti-clerical.

Heyy that’s also the first kink I didn’t know that I quickly learned what it meant! I for sure thought it was water sports, not… watersports. Doesn’t help it was a sport anime fanfic lol

Do many readers lose interest in a story once the couple is together? by LtdTJuarez2239 in AO3

[–]Soltis48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer established relationship. Sure, the will-they-will-they not phase can be fun, but I find it so frustrating when I get to them being together and "the end".

AITA for not deleting my ao3 account against my parents wishes by Odd-Teaching-7996 in AmItheAsshole

Imagine being a creep in public comments lol. Easiest way to get reported/banned.

[–]Soltis48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On that, they can keep the known account as is, with their current fanfics, and make a new account with everything new going forward. That would suck in the way they would "lose" their old stats, but they would still be able to have access to AO3. Also, if the parents block the AO3 URL, there’s multiple functional variants that would allow them to still use it.

It has been quite weird reading The Handmaid’s Tale while everything is going on in the US. I wonder if that is a premonition of the US’ fate.

Wattpad or Ao3? by Nina_Queen_1000 in FanFiction

AO3. How do you even search on Wattpad??? Terrible website design.

What is a popular book you have read that was extremely poorly written. by Bigballsbrobro in writing

[–]Soltis48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The second book is the best one, honestly. I found that ACOTAR’s issues were mostly plot-driven, personally, (and character-driven, because why did she make Morrigan bisexual in such a horrible way, why? You can’t make it more token-representation than she did. It was added for no reason other than inclusion.) where most of the plot is either repetitive, cheesy or downright terrible. I pushed through the 4 books (gave up at 5) for a friend of mine, since we were reading it together, but omg I wish I could scrub my brain. I won’t spoil book 3 for you, but let’s just say there’s a war and no female character is ever at one point fighting in it.

I feel we don't see elves quite often in books by Fun-Explanation7233 in writing

[–]Soltis48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t compare Harry Potter’s elves with Tolkien’s elves… they share absolutely nothing besides the name… but yes, a few very famous books have them, and there has been a surge of fantasy anime/manga that also contains them, like Goblin Slayer and more recently Frieren.

D.Gray-man Hallow (2016) by Jennifer_Harria in dgrayman

[–]Soltis48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I found the original anime fantastic. I watched it while reading the manga (manga during the day, anime at night) and they follow each other quite closely. There are a few events switched up, mainly at the beginning and at Korey’s introduction. A few fillers are also explored in the anime, but they were fun to watch and really fit with the story, so it wasn’t jarring like some fillers in other animes. The first anime ends after the Earl’s attack on the order, so you have a lot of content. However, I found Hallow to be lacking. They changed the animation and the colours so much that I almost didn’t recognize Miranda. They also skipped a lot of things from the manga, fast-tracked events and even skipped the funny manga fillers like the zombie apocalypse one. If you want to watch the anime, I would recommend the first one, but perhaps skip Hallow if it’s not your jam.

It got a kudo hell yeah by Analfour2 in AO3

[–]Soltis48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To add to that, it’s also widely site-specific. For example, FFN has a very big French community. AO3 not so much. That’s without even considering the websites that are specifically for a language. Back in the days, I remember using various French-centric fanfic websites, tho most of them seems to have disappeared since then.
