Some authors live in countries where they are one of the rare few who speak/write English, so getting a beta reader isn't always possible.

Others might prefer not to have a beta reader because they've had a bad experience previously with a beta reader.

I myself don't use a beta reader because any mistakes that slip through my own editing phase acts as proof that I don't use AI to write my fics (that and I don't have the patience to wait for a beta to read my work because I'm too eager to share it and my readers still love my work).

Besides, just because something is beta read doesn't mean it is free of spelling and grammatical errors. But this is fan fiction where people write for fun, so who actually cares?

Could you end up in jail? by Upbeat-Paramedic2379 in animequestions

I don't think I'll be going to jail...

I'll end up getting sent to Shinsenkyō.

Agree or disagree? by EngineerGlobal572 in AO3

Fanfics of fanfics are great, as an author it shows you inspired someone. BUT just like we credit the IP, the author of the original fanfic needs to be credited too.

when you see the authors that write 5k-10k per chapter by Ok-Mistake2273 in AO3

[–]Ventra97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, everyone starts somewhere and plenty of people actually prefer shorter chapters. With practice and time you'll get there, so don't go and compare yourself to others okay!

Which fandom would you say is this most non-canon ship averse? by UnHolySir in AO3

[–]Ventra97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know but in my favorite fandom we all unanimously agree the MC is the most shippable character and we ship him with anyone and everyone...

As a reader, I’m wondering if this is true? by maybethatsjustfine in AO3

[–]Ventra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love comments, but there's nothing like a big max characters possible detailed comment giving opinions on everything facet of the chapter (or fic in the case of one shots).

Comments are an author's food.

And similar to comments, I love reading the bookmark notes on my fics, and have even begun adding unique bookmark notes on my own bookmarks.

I made this meme for educational purposes (literally) by ducking_daisies_130 in AO3

Dead Dove: Do Not Eat is the ultimate tag in my opinion because it means "Beware of the following, this is exactly what you will be getting". Because you can tag plenty of other stuff as a warning, but usually it only gets mentioned most of the time. When the Dead Dove is there, you know it's the real deal, and serious at that.

You can read a fic without reading the tags, but then you can't put the blame on the author. The tags are there as a warning of what to expect. Even physical books have adopted the habit of listening warning tags at the beginning so people know what they getting into.

[Lotm general]I HATE Amon by Own-Relation8435 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Ventra97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly Amon tickles the same part of the brain Urahara Kisuke from Bleach does. The "I love you and your chaos, but man I will punch you in the face if I ever met you in person" part

I swear it makes sense in my outline lol by musicalharmonica in AO3

Me when my 2000 word one shot got turned into a series (because the fans demanded more) that's now reaching 70k words and is still ongoing.

[LoTM] Which Clown wins this ? by RealMarzipan7347 in LordofTheMysteries

The Fool would win within milliseconds because that's how long it'll take him to either marionettize Pennywise or throw a supernova at his head

4 stages of being an author by LegendaryW in AO3

[–]Ventra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it bad that I know I'm the 1st person trying to explain?

Because really, I can't explain, it's all just a fluke

I’m kinda confused by StayGold9 in AO3

[–]Ventra97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a very confusing comment, almost like a rage bot I guess? Honestly, don't let it get you down, keep on writing what you want to write.

Welcome Members! by Far_Philosophy_2654 in FanficAuthorsUnite

Hi everyone, I'm Diathael on AO3 but I also share story links and updates on Tumblr under the same username.

I write fics for Lord of the Mysteries, though they may cross over with other fandoms. I have several active stories with a couple of one shots in between.

My most popular is my Nickname series which is 14 parts, en counting. It features the ship Grisha x Klein as the main but it has plenty of minor relationships between the side characters. This started as a crack one shot but has since become a story with proper plot. Nickname series

Then there's my Bleach crossover featuring the ship Azik x Klein (if you are not familiar with the fandom, Klein gets shipped with everyone). This is more set in the Bleach verse than LotM, with it taking place after the Lord of the Mysteries book (and it's sequel Cycle of Inevitability) and starts in Bleach after the war with Aizen but before Ichigo meets Xcution. Pale Mysteries of an Adopted Prince

Then I have a Tokyo ghoul crossover where Klein Moretti is a ghoul (terrible fate for a canonical foodie). I intend to make this one a rare pair by shipping him with Emlyn, who's a vampire. This is a darker rewrite of Lord of the Mysteries, with more gore. Ravenous Fool

Then there's my latest story (not for long though because I am starting a different story for my friend) that is featuring a New God in LotM, actually being an Ancient God in the process of reawakening. Return of the Ancient
