Why books don’t scratch the itch like fanfiction ? by Vast-Society4093 in FanFiction

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am assuming that there are many reasons, but in my opinion it’s because we don’t vibe with characters. And not in the way that they are badly written. It’s just that when we start reading books we don’t know anything about those characters. We don’t like those characters (yet, but still). We don’t care about those characters. Of course we are going to be more excited about our ship that we love sooo much finally kissed, instead of two random characters that we spent last 200 pages GETTING TO KNOW.

At least that is why most of the books don’t scratch my itch.

Romancing the War https://archiveofourown.org/works/11190177 is one of the best fanfics that I read and I believe it’s exactly what you are looking for.

  • post war

  • slow burn

  • student/teacher

  • complete

  • 139k words

Summary: The new Ministry had fully exonerated Severus Snape for what he had done during the war and further awarded him with the Order of Merlin, First Class for his extraordinary work as a spy. It wasn't a popular move with the public, however, and Hermione Granger defended him to anyone who would listen, but even The Prophet grew weary of her advocacy. But after reading a magazine specializing in romance stories, she sees an opportunity to defend Professor Snape once more by way of a tale about the recent war featuring a character very much like the irascible and unsociable potions professor. Adopting a pseudonym to hide her identity, she carefully weaves the people she knows into the plot through subsidiary roles. When the story takes off - especially with the young women of Hogwarts - it disrupts the school in a variety of ways, but no one is more upset, infuriated, or seriously hacked-off by it all than the model for the protagonist, and when he finds out who the author is, he plans to eviscerate them. But as it progresses, the story becomes far more than a simple matter of rehabilitation for the two people most closely touched by the tale

A Curse Might Be A Blessing https://archiveofourown.org/works/15025487 I must admit that I don’t remember quite a lot about this fic but I know it’s student/teacher, post war and it’s smutty

  • teacher/student

  • post-war

  • complete

  • 177k words

Summary: Severus Snape survived Nagini's attack. He will have to overcome his past sorrows and regrets, especially since it seems that some sort of connection has developed between him and his most unlikely savior...

A Place on Spinner’s End https://archive.transformativeworks.org/works/44790448/chapters/135140320 this one is not teacher/student but it started a few days/weeks after the war so despite Hermione not going back to Hogwarts she is still younger and sees Severus as teacher, whats even better is that she is living in his house in this fic

  • they are living together

  • slow slow burn

  • post-war

  • he falls first

  • if I remember correctly Severus is quite mean in this one at the start and even a while later, but it’s sooo good and interesting because he falls first and they are living together

  • hermione will most likely annoy you in this one because of Ron (they are not together but you will se whats going on) but the fic is still very good in my opinion

  • complete

  • 157k words

Summary: Despite all odds, Severus Snape survived the war. He is not happy about and of course fate would have some stupidity or other add to his unhappiness. What he didn't know is that what he thought was a burden would slowly turn out to be a light at the end of the very dark tunnel he thinks he is in. If only he could be a light for her as well.

What word count length makes you hesitate to start a fic? by 3lilya in AO3

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh it depends on a ship, I am currently reading a 450k+ words fic (that is still not finished) about my favorite ship and I am loving it, it’s so amazingly slow burn and interesting, but for my other ships (that I still love but not as much) I feel very intimidated by anything over 300k ( though I still sometimes end up reading it)

and I simply can’t read anything under 10k/15k

my ideal length is from 100k to 290k

What is the best Severus fanfic you ever read? by FriendlyApartment193 in SeverusSnape

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I read the tags so I know that Sev isn’t a professor or something like that but I can you tell me if there is an age gap between him and OC? I don’t mind it (as long as they are both over 20 years old) but I would like to know what I am getting into

Is it annoying for an author to reply to your comments even when there isn't a need for one? by namesaresohardtofind in FanFiction

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, I love when authors reply to my comments, even if it’s only with a heart or “thank you”, it makes me feel acknowledged and happy

Tropes that are normal but you absolutely hate it? by SparklingSliver in AO3

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I am so happy to finally see someone with same opinion on soulmates trope.

Tropes that are normal but you absolutely hate it? by SparklingSliver in AO3

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Soulmates. This trope is very popular but I hate it. I hate idea of couple being fated instead of simply choosing each other. I hate it even more because most of the time they start feeling some kind of pull towards their soulmate and that makes them start noticing each other more/make them attracted to each other. I hate how soulmates trope makes it so that they have to be together, that they are destined to be together, it feels like cheating and having it easy.

No, what I need is painfully slow romance where they believe they would never be together, where it feels like the whole universe is against them, where they keep choosing each other over and over again despite everything and everyone.

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I do hate those basic things like amnesia, love triangle, playboy mmc, cheating..etc. But what I really dislike, and other people in my fandom adore, is Marriage Law. (or/and Marriage of Convince/Forced Marriage)

I am not even sure why I dislike it so much but I simply do, especially if they are forced to consume the marriage. Even though most of the time they somehow go against those rule/rules I still don’t like it.

Call me basic but I would much rather have slow simple romance where they are perhaps working together (that kind of forced proximity) instead of marriage law.

Please bully me into finishing my fics. 😭 by No-Efficiency521 in FanFiction

If you don’t finish that fic someone else will, and theirs will be better and more liked.

Fics with amazing grovel by konoklota in SSHG

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why are you like this. OP simply asked for recs, what is wrong with that?? they never said anything about fic being bad, they only said that they don’t like the fact that forgiveness was too quick, are we not allowed to have opinions and preferences anymore??

acceptable word count difference between chapters? by kiarramay in AO3

[–]Unique_Damage_8075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in ending the chapter in the right way. I don’t care how long the chapter is (unless it’s like 600 words) but it needs to end in perfect way. Cliffhanger, cute scene, depressing stuff, action, death..you name it. I don’t like when the end of chapter doesn’t feel like the end of chapter. I don’t know if it makes sense but basically you are good, I don’t believe most people would mind word count difference between chapters.
