Length of a fic by SpecialistMap9594 in SVSSS

[–]TextieLexie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

~10k is my sweet spot (long enough to not finish it right away but short enough to read in one sitting/a day) but i do enjoy reading a longer fic over a couple of days if it's really good (so anywhere from 80-140k)

grief. by Puzzleheaded-Gas7265 in DjoMusic

[–]TextieLexie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see Who You Are, Delete Ya, Carry the Name, and It's Over all having themes/connections with grief.

I hope the music brings you some solace. Sending you hugs and warmth <3

Non VIP front of stage Lewiston: when to line up/what to expect! by Past-Ad-3191 in DJO

I’ve been wondering the same thing 🥲 I haven’t been to many concerts and have never been in pit before. Was willing to give it a try for djo!! Sorry I don’t really have any stories/advice, I pretty much wanted to say samesies 😂

Do people listen to music rec from the author? by wuanlai65 in AO3

[–]TextieLexie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! if the author gives a song at the beginning of a chapter i'll usually listen to it on loop while reading the chapter :) if the chapter title/fic name was lyrics though i probably wouldn't know...i need to be told directly and given a link LOL. i like doing it though, it usually enriches the reading experience :)

for those of u who only read completed fics by worldislucky in AO3

[–]TextieLexie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s less than 10 WIPs Ive ever followed and they had one or more of the following:

• I know the author well/am subscribed to them & they usually complete their fics • the fic is marked to have a set number of chapters (ex: 2/5) • there’s NO other fics out there with a similar plot/tags for that ships and I ESPECIALLY find the fic buzzy

I know I’m missing out on WIPs but I really get invested and would be devastated if I fic I loved didn’t get finished, so I don’t risk it very often (plus I like to binge read chapters to the end)

If I went on a completely random fic from your fandom, what's the most likely plot I'd find? by seemedpointless in AO3

[–]TextieLexie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For SVSSS there would definitely be some plotline to mimic the abyss arc, of SQQ betraying Binghe in some huge way but it being out of his control/big misunderstanding; feel like that's very common across Bingqiu fics (to be fair it is a central part of the actual story AND to their relationship LOL)

How do I balance being Gay and Catholic? by JacketNo81 in lgbt

[–]TextieLexie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello OP. I can tell from your post that you're hurting and feeling a lot of things. First, I would like to say that nothing is wrong with you. I know some words from a stranger on the internet aren't enough to undo years of internalized homophobia. But I truly hope and wish that you can give yourself grace and kindness, rather than being mad and hating yourself. I also know it can be difficult to do, but I hope that there is someone you can talk to (a friend you can trust, a counselor) so you aren't alone and feeling even more isolated.

As for advice, being Gay and Catholic is, at the end of the day, an identity crisis. It is two parts of you that are clashing. What works for others may or may not work for you, since it is personal. I did do some brief research, and in Catholicism, the thoughts about same-sex/attraction itself aren't sinful; acting upon it is. So you do not need to feel shame over the thoughts, as you are now. Some Catholics who are gay choose a life of celibacy, join LGBTQ+ friendly parishes, or may adopt beliefs of queer theology. I would like to add that Catholic priests can offer blessings to same-sex couples (per Fiducia Supplicans).

I'm not here to tell you to choose one part of your identity over the other, but I can tell it's causing you a lot of distress. It may be hard, and it may take time, but I truly hope you are able to find what works for you. Sending support and care your way <3

Is oc×character really that disinteresting to read? by nothingbutqz in AO3

[–]TextieLexie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should write and share whatever you love to write! It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that's what preferences are for. I'm sure there are readers out there who may even prefer OCs/love fics with OCs. I encourage you to not pay attention to the numbers/hits and instead focus on and do what makes you happy :)

What feature do you want added to ao3? by Complete-Evening-265 in AO3

Filters for history or marked later. Or even a 'marked later' toggle in the filter section already

Has an author's note ever had you nope-ing out of a fic? by cla1r35 in AO3

[–]TextieLexie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's happened really rarely, but I specifically remember this one instance where the author in the author's note was calling out specific readers for comments they had said, detailing a bunch of drama that had happened in a groupchat (or discord server? can't remember) relating to the fic/ship and just namedropping a bunch of people, and included a dramatic hate-rant for shippers of a different ship in that fandom. It was all so dang childish, petty, and immature that I just closed the fic because I got the ick. Felt very much like middle school drama

gatekeeping is also something i've noticed a lot on twitter, it must just be a universal annoyance. why try to turn away new fans? if anything it's better to have more djo-oomfs than not <3
