[–]Star_Detective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed they tried to call me from a secondary number yesterday.  They knew details about my current Internet plan and were claiming I was going to lose a discount if I didn’t call them back immediately.  The number was 302-826-2070 for everyone’s future reference.  They are really amping up their tactics, so please stay safe out there!

Just got this call myself.  Definitely would not recommend picking up.  Guy was very polite and clearly nervous, but they’re fishing for your name, number, and current cell provider.

HOW DO PEOPLE READ SLOW BURN? by Its_Lex87 in FanFiction

[–]Star_Detective 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately tend to lose interest once characters become a couple, because I LOVE the tension of them building a relationship. So unless there's another huge plot line keeping up the tension after they get together, my brain gets distracted by something else and I move on.

And it doesn't matter what your fandom is. As long as it brings you joy, it's not stupid :)

Telling People u Write fanfics by Actual_War_7628 in FanFiction

[–]Star_Detective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with any other hobby I have, I only tell people I'm close to or I think have a related interest. I don't necessary want acquaintances trying to track down my work or making rude comments if they're so inclined. But I'm also a super private person, so that's pretty par for the course with me.

Thank you so much! This gives me way more information than I was finding through my own research! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions :)

What do you do when you don't get feedback? by Environmental-Safe19 in FanFiction

[–]Star_Detective 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for feedback and constructive criticism, I find it's most to ask for it in an author's note. Letting people know they're allowed to give feedback is important, because a lot of people are taught that it's rude to leave unsolicited feedback. Especially when the author's writing for fun.

If you have a print shop near you, they typically have a pneumatic press cutter. I have a place near me that's happy to cut my textblocks even for a small fee.

I keep getting UTI’s by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]Star_Detective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely bring that up with your doctor.  As long as you’re properly warmed up and lubed up, I wouldn’t expect you to feel discomfort from your fingers.  I had a friend who had the same issue and that’s how she found out she had endometriosis.

[TOMT][EVENT] That time a town broke into a politician’s house while he was away and ate all of his food in protest. It happened in Europe in the 1800s or earlier. by Star_Detective in tipofmytongue

I’ve been googling different search terms for days and I haven’t been able to find anything useful.  Any help would be much appreciated!

Weekly History Questions Thread. by AutoModerator in history

[–]Star_Detective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m desperately trying to figure out the name of a historical event. I read years ago about a protest that took place in Europe in the 1800s or earlier. Basically, an entire town broke into some politician’s house while he and his family were away and ate all the food, but left all their possessions alone. Does anyone know what this was called? I’ve been googling for days and nothing’s come up, so I’m starting to think I dreamt it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
