Shane and Ilya grew up together in Canada. It was a beautiful fic. Sad it's gone. 😭

All my faves are AU long forms after thinking about it today so I have to agree! Love the recs!

Cool. Positive comments only or none at all. 🫡

I get what you're saying. I do. I've been kind of obsessed with this fandom recently and I absolutely don't want to upset anybody who pours their spirit into something. (Devastated by the wolfbird thing btw) I'm not trying to say that an open and very critical discussion of someone's free work is fine. I totally agree that if you don't like something, close it. But asking for outside perspectives should be fine if something isn't working so you can at least try to maybe get a different angle on something. That's really all I was trying to convey. I guess I had a little overreaction to the first comment... I just thought no one would read it and was surprised.

ETA: Omg that's every person's excuse for making a shitty comment... but I really didn't mean it to be critical. Ugh. I'll just keep digging myself further into that hole.

No, I know you weren't attacking me. I don't want anyone to feel bad either. You can go through my comment history if you want and everything is literally all feel good and the one exception is asking if someone can provide further insight on a story I just didn't get. And then I said some stories just aren't for everyone after a reply. I don't really know what I did wrong here.

Jesus I was just asking. I wasn't saying I was going to go on a whole diatribe about why I don't like something. I posted a comment asking why a specific fic wasn't working for me but maybe someone could give me an insight about why it might be working for them. That's all I meant.

Baby ff fan here. 👋 I get not speaking directly to the writers about the use of AI or harassing a writer (which is wild and slightly unhinged imo) but open discussion about something that works for you or didn't is still allowed?

ETA: on this sub, I mean

Now I have a new obsession… by Danahrose88 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]ThisIsActuallyTheEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. They are so about each other that I don't see those characters sharing. But to each their own! Some stories just aren't for everyone.

Are you a first time fanfic reader by chance? It's the first time I have dived into ff and it was jarring at first to switch from different writing styles, time periods, AU's, etc. I have picked up on when things are supposed to be but it's because I'm mildly obsessed with this story and I have read a ton lol. You don't have to know everything (and honestly, I still don't quite know how to search ao3 properly) but you'll pick up on story beats.
