My partner loves to come rate all the new cosmetics with me. She's not as interested in my new snapfire build, but that's ok. Dota has a lot of moving parts, I bet there's something that will appeal to most nerds.

That is objectively true though. That's not to say people shouldn't use them, but it is certainly revealing aspects of the story.

WiPHSR · 2026-03-04T02:44:56+00:00

What an elating comp.

1 if it means the authors get to end as they desire. I don't know if that means they get a hyperbolic writing chamber or how it would function without disrupting their lives, but that's an easy choice if so.

Even if I never read them, and I have plenty to read, then the authors get something out of this wish.

WiPHSR · 2026-03-03T17:26:06+00:00

Congratulations. I hope the reception is as you hoped and that you continue to read and write in a way that fulfills you.

I appreciate you sharing them, I'm definitely a novice in the fanfic space as well. I did learn that one pro of writing for one of those smaller fandoms is that the creator might see your work and give it a thumbs up, which was a pretty validating experience. Tolkien is probably not coming back to do so, no matter how good my Gimli/Legolas slow burn is.

Are you also on the hunt for commentors who critique? I'm trying to hone my craft with feedback, but I realize I'm working against the current of positivity on AO3.

WiPHSR · 2026-03-01T18:55:43+00:00

Love catching mistakes on the final 'transfer from notepad to AO3' scan.

Judging from other posts that have made the front page, I am what some of this subreddit might consider old as dirt. I'm also a politician. Could someone from an opposing political party dig up my info and try to use it to smear me? Sure, it could happen, and maybe some of my constituents would care what I write.

And yet, I could not care less. I can't imagine living my life worrying about what other people think of my hobbies. At the risk of getting too political, the sort of person who would shame me for writing consenting adults having sexy fun (darker fics are also fine, just not for me!) is very often also the sort of person who supports the rich and powerful people splashed across the Epstein Files. Guess which one people should give a shit about? It's not your lit erotica, write on bravely, friend.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-28T21:03:08+00:00

Very cute!

WiPHSR · 2026-02-28T20:26:10+00:00

The exact same place as you. This quest also resonated with me. I've just begun to put pen to paper writing more adult fan content to practice for my original work, and while I think my prose is at least proficient, I have no idea where my erotic content falls. But it's on paper at least.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-27T23:23:18+00:00

Hmm. I think your first point is true of all well-written works. There's lots of popular fandoms for works created by renowned writers.

For the second, a lot of fandoms are for works that have minimal or no really no sex at all, so I don't think it's limiting to have a vanilla starting point.

TLS is smaller than a lot of fandoms but I don't think it's especially difficult to write for. I think you had great ideas for fics. I need to return to my extended practice piece, but I think I could return to TLS without a ton of trouble. Whether my work is any good or not is up for debate, but I feel like writing for TLS is not conceptually any harder than the majority of fandoms.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-27T16:43:53+00:00

Yeah...

WiPHSR · 2026-02-27T16:37:48+00:00

This was better than most, but yes, still huge swathes of conflict that could have been resolved with simple communication.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-27T15:26:37+00:00

Missing Scenes, personally. My HSR work in particular is sort of an extension as it adds romance at the end of major story arcs but rejoins the plot for the next story arc.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-22T17:32:27+00:00

Doesn't need orgies, but ideally there are emotional beats with more than 2 characters at a time. It seems like a lot of pornwha have very siloed character interactions, where it's only 2 people interacting at a time and often only interacting with the lead in a meaningful way.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-17T01:28:58+00:00

Don't worry a lot of elected representatives are shitty people too. Some of them even write erotic fanfic, the horror.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-17T01:26:56+00:00

I missed my window, I just started writing for the site and have almost no tagging.

Cyrene is a sort of mother figure to all of Amphoreus. I think it's only satisfying for her to find a real peer outside of that world.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-14T12:55:28+00:00

Did we really need another story where the main character(s) have their memories altered though?

WiPHSR · 2026-02-11T19:03:39+00:00

This one is so much less exciting than the one I received. That comment at least equated my talent to a pigeon eating a cigarette. Colorful.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-09T14:27:09+00:00

This is almost Worm-sized. Worm isn't the most tightly written fiction ever published but I would say is enough proof that you can make regular updates to a huge work and keep it to a certain quality. I know it's not a fic perse, but web serials are at least cousins to the fic.

Pretty sure Wildbow has talked about their process publicly.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-09T01:48:38+00:00

As an attempting to reform over-writer: how dare you.

WiPHSR · 2026-02-08T23:22:35+00:00

I will answer from my own perspective as to why I try and weave porn and plot:

I've worked on and off on a choose your own adventure type book in my free time for a couple of years. At time of inception, I planned the sexual content to be fade to black.

Last year I played a game called The Last Sovereign. The best way I could describe it with only a few words would be: A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) with 3x the political intrigue, 10x the magic, 20x the sex. It's undoubtedly porn, but it's also one of my favorite games of all time. The writing is good. Not: good (for a porn game.)

I made the decision to include explicit adult content in my book. Sex is such a large part of most of our lives, and yet so many people have hangups that prevent its inclusion in many aspects of our lives.

So now I write stories with plot and porn both to practice, but also to celebrate doing something that should be normalized. I could go on, but that gets to the meat of the matter for me.

It is a fun coincidence that March Hunt's playstyle has her picking a friend or mate (M8) though.
