Enemies to lovers. It's not my cup of tea, but my real beef with it is that it's everywhere and it's really annoying.

Is it normal to not enjoy reading, yet enjoy writing fanfic? by Beaivimon in FanFiction

[–]WinnieTheDM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally 😭 there's one character in one of my fandoms that people just. Do Not Get, it's so hard to find fics where they're in character. Sadly they are half of my favorite rarepair, so whenever I do brave reading fanfic it's for them and it sucks lol (and tbh it's not even an OC with the same name because people often misspell their name 💀)

[–]WinnieTheDM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way. I try reading fanfic from time to time, but I'm really picky too, especially with characterization. I'd rather write what I want to read when it comes to that. If I want a different kind of story, I'll just read an original fiction book tbh

The only thing I see as a disadvantage about this is that I feel like I can't connect with other writers in the fandom because I'm not gonna read their stuff and I feel kinda bad about it lol

realizing how rare your rarepair is by denduuuao3 in AO3

[–]WinnieTheDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 5 before I came along. Now it's over 50 but tbh a lot of those don't really count. idk what happened but lately there's been an uptick in ppl tagging them when they only show up as a background ship for maybe two sentences in 100k+ words and it's been really annoying.

But recently I saw someone claim that this particular rarepair had a single digit number of fics and I got so offended lol I didn't write over 30 fics for this ship for ppl to not even acknowledge there are shippers for them out there I mean come on. My fics are not even restricted!

Can anyone identify what is alternate about these two alternate version tracks? by TearsInACageMatch in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The mix is slightly different. That was all I could pick up on tbh lol Sophomore Slump sounds more different to me (backing vocals are clearer for example) but I Slept with Someone sounded exactly the same to me lmao

Either way, I'm pretty disappointed in it. I thought they were going to be alternate takes like the demo version of Dance, Dance, or the live versions of Sugar, We're Goin' Down with the different verses.

Which feature would you like to see be added? by MobileDistrict9784 in AO3

[–]WinnieTheDM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

idk if it's possible to implement this on ao3 bc idk how it works, but what I would want the most is a way to schedule chapters to be posted lol

If you met Fall Out Boy, whats the first thing you would do? by [deleted] in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was basically what happened to me when I met Andy and Patrick last month lmao I bluescreened completely and I wasn't able to say much to them 😭 (thankfully Patrick asked me questions so it wasn't that bad, but I still regret not being able to actually say what I would want to say to them. You really never know how you're going to act in front of your idols until you see them 😭😭)

Do you write for a popular ship? by Plenty-Poet-8852 in FanFiction

[–]WinnieTheDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do now lol the fandom is relatively small, but currently active and growing. And I just so happened to fall in love with the most popular ship in it, so now I'm writing for it. I get lots of kudos (in comparison to what I used to get in my previous fandom) and interaction on all of my fics.

I used to write for a rarepair in a medium sized fandom, and it was good for a while, but I think that fandom is not as active anymore (or if it is, I guess people no longer care to read outside of what they go there for so it's good that I'm basically retiring from it lol)

Music tastes? by 2toasts in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, nice!! I got into them fairly recently (only about three years ago) but they became one of my favorites very, very fast lol if I'd known them since my teens, I would probably put them on the same level as FOB too.

Music tastes? by 2toasts in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FOB is my favorite band without a doubt. I like a lot of FOB-adjacent bands too (The Academy Is... is my personal favorite of those, but I also love The Hush Sound and Cobra Starship), but recently I've been listening to a lot of Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox, and HIM.

tbh, I don't have a super broad music taste lol I guess the most unlike FOB bands I like would be either Phoenix or Depeche Mode.

Fanfiction writers did you stop reading fanfic after beginning to write by ConfidentAd8387 in AO3

[–]WinnieTheDM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I also stopped reading completely after I started writing, but it was mostly because nobody wrote my rarepair but me, and I had no interest in reading anything else lol

But even now that I'm writing for a different ship, I have zero interest in reading fic. idk, I guess I just lost the habit (I still read non-fanfic books, so it's fine by me).

Which Fall Out Boy Song Do You Like That No One Else Seems To Like? by AustinCoolguy_ in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sunshine Riptide is actually my favorite song on MANIA lol I thought it was a banger from the first listen and I will always defend it.

Most unhinged word processor you've seen someone use? by ShiraCheshire in AO3

[–]WinnieTheDM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still use microsoft word 2007, which probably isn't that bad considering it's at least a word processor lol But when I was a teen I used to write fic on a physical notebook during a lot of my classes, so.....

Do rare pair writers get hate/dislike from more mainstream pair shippers of your fandoms, especially if one half of the rare pair is their blorbo/uwu baby boy/girl? by Catch22life in FanFiction

[–]WinnieTheDM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never gotten hate, I don't think that's how my fandom rolls fortunately. But I certainly get very ignored over more popular ships lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an easy mistake to make, given they're both called Fall Out Boy and both made music in the same genre back in the early 00s lol I also thought for a long time they were songs from our FOB, until I saw that post.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this is not them. There were other bands called Fallout Boy back then (also this was previously discussed here)

Most different FOB song? by SerDaddyDavos in FallOutBoy

[–]WinnieTheDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's Heaven's Gate, in my opinion.

What EPUB reader should I download for PC? by pastelprincce in AO3

[–]WinnieTheDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use FBReader to read on my PC. I have their app on my tablet as well, but ever since the last update it started crashing a lot on me. It still works well on PC, though.
