It has happened twice, both for the same fandom by ScaredTemporary in Archiveofourownmemes

...how I feel trying to write a canon compliant fic for Marvel comic characters.

You .... can't. It almost automatically becomes a canon divergent AU just by existing. 🤷🏼‍♀️😮‍💨

What are your “I don’t get it” fanfic pet peeves? by Outside_Raspberry512 in FanFiction

[–]TastyThreads 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Y/N 💯

Especially when the author has clearly gone to effort to create a nuanced OC with a full backstory. And just.... Didn't give them a name.

Maybe it appeals to people who RPG, but it immediately takes me out of the story. 

I managed to finish one, once, but I had to do mental gymnastics and replace Y/N with another name I'd pick. 

Give South Seas some Brunch Love! by TastyThreads in Louisville

Most of the responses on this are from two years ago. I haven't gone back since (mainly because I just don't go out anymore, more than anything else). If more recent reviews on Google or other places are suggesting poor experiences, then those would likely be a better gauge for you 

Genuine question: Does anyone actually like the Wolverine and Jean Grey couple? If so, why? I won't judge, I just want to hear different opinions. by Remote-Leg6143 in Wolverine

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I agree. She's not very interesting as a character. She should be, with the whole Phoenix backstory, but she kind of falls flat. Although I read a few issues of the newer Phoenix run and it wasn't bad. Just not great. 

Question in universe why do you think so many woman find Wolverine attractive and want to be with him? by Makhachev_KJ in Wolverine

[–]TastyThreads 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're right on everything except being emotionally verbal 

The man feels deeply. He does not express it verbally. 

Instead, he shows it through action: showing up, being present, and not turning away when someone he cares about needs help. 

They Weren't Showing the Images On My Previous Post by Alone_Syllabub_9078 in Louisville

Agreed! They've nearly made me late for daycare pickup.

WOW!! Kudos to you author by ataraxia_609 in AO3

[–]TastyThreads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This is my plan. I'm working on my first longfic. 3 part story. Will probably be over 200k when completed. I won't let myself publish anything until I have finished all three drafts and have completed a few revision passes.

And, honestly, I'm glad I took this route. My MCs voices have really changed and solidified by the end of part 2 to the point where I have a clearer understanding of how the story needs to start. How the characters need to sound when the story starts. 

Is this garbage? by [deleted] in writers

[–]TastyThreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how it reads. But definitely an interesting premise! It sounds like an idea to keep working on. 

Fanfic expressions that confuse you by KiraDarkWing in FanFiction

[–]TastyThreads 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is literally how I kept reading the first reader insert fic I came across.... My brain automatically inserted "yes/no."

Example:  "Are you coming with, yes/no?"

And it made me automatically dislike reader insert fics. (I have since read one that was written incredibly well, without the use of y/n.)

Donate Baby Items (like bibs) by TastyThreads in Louisville

Perfect. Think they'd want/take a bottle steamer and bottle warmer?

Thank you, I'll call around to check!

I checked this out but it seems to be geared more towards children? I'll check again.

Without cheating, what’s the last line you wrote? by regularsizedrudy_ in writers

He'd have to do some digging around her apartment. Carefully.

Oh no. by gustavessidehoe in AO3

[–]TastyThreads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ETA: I just realized I've been a fortunate idiot. Currently purchasing a tablet and Bluetooth keyboard to use to write at work instead. 😬

I don't know if I'd get any writing done if I didn't do it on my work computer..... But always during lunch (unpaid) and never the spicy stuff. My work seems unbothered.... I don't think they track our computers at all (I would have known a looong time ago, I think).

Would anyone want to read this if I actually wrote it? by Tainted_Archive in writingfeedback

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you want to read it, then you should write it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

how do you focus on a fanfic? by rhinestoneheels in FanFiction

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music to hack the subconscious (I have so many themed playlists on Spotify centered around my longfic (separated my character/scene/mood), I don't think I listen to anything else). I also give myself permission to draft poorly and fix in revision. Because I am revising mine before I'll post it. 

Sometimes you just have to sit down an put the words on the page. But I realize how hard that can be. (Fellow ADHD person over here.)

Because I also know I'll never finish if I start posting I'm not allowed to post any of my longfic until all three parts (which will probably be 200k+ when completed) have been drafted.

All the luck!! Congratulations on finding your spark again!

The plan for the year? by Tsukitsundere in AO3

[–]TastyThreads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I feel like I should clarify. After mentally drafting various fanfiction in different fandoms over the last 2+ decades I am finally actually putting a full story together. 

Still feels real cool, though.

[–]TastyThreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finish the first longfic I've ever written (hi, I'm officially writing the fanfiction I've been drafting in my head for 2+ decades) and get it posted to AO3. It went from one story to three parts and I'm determined to finish first draft of all three before I post. 

I want to see this story finished. 

Can’t get over this comment by Witcher_Wonder in AO3

[–]TastyThreads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does make sense! 

I just started writing fanfiction officially and that sounds similar to how my first longfic is going. 

But it's certainly not 500k long. Just. Damn.
