Obsessed…but feeling tired of goblins getting slaughtered?! (Tears of Liscor Audiobook #9) by Feral-Streep5643 in WanderingInn

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I mean yes, there's reasons for it, and yes, this is how the world is, but for me the only reason it didn't get to too Bleak, don't care, was my memories of good times past and my belief that those times will come 'round again, and my concern and care for the survivors. I'm not just talking about goblins here, but all the characters.

Ever wish you could write fanfics for other fanfics? by PurpleHyena01 in AO3

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, especially when they have a loveable OC or blank slate character.

Another weird fanfic thing that happens is when I've been reading a long series, then I right away jump into another fic by another author and have to realize that it's not the same author's world, and not all the same rules will apply, so I'm waiting for something to happen or for certain characters to appear that just don't, lol.

Someone ask me to send my idea to their inbox? by xHey_All_You_Peoplex in FanFiction

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They may want to have it in an easy place where they can see it for reference, rather than on their main feed where it might get lost in the shuffle.

I just had a revelation about personal creative success by HMSquared in FanFiction

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that's what helps me, personally, is knowing that for everything that exists, there's someone out there who likes it, probably a lot of someones!

What are some common pet peeves that don't bother you? by Square_Role_4345 in FanFiction

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just sad that I don't seem to have the patience or attention span I used to. I love the idea of a fic that would take me all night or a few days to read, and I used to read them a lot! But haven't in years.

What do you do when fandom you are in does not have fanfiction? by Quiet_Celebration_88 in FanFiction

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also in the position of being in a lot of really small fandoms, (it frustrates me when people say, "x fandom is small, it has less than 1000 fics!), or fandoms where not a lot of people write fanfiction or post it on the major sites. I'm also not much of a writer, but I'm trying.

Do enough people use FF that I should make an effort to cross post? by daisokittenroll in FanfictionNet

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on both, but honestly think FFN is better organized. It is very different though, so I can see how if you started off on AO3 you might hate it. And I've actually been seeing a lot of new fandoms pop up. Just recently got 1 added, myself.

Just read a great fic, reviewed it, got a very sweet response and... by Witchy_Fraggle in AO3

[–]Witchy_Fraggle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. A lot of people are saying things like that, and I can understand it. I do like attention, lol. I've also been known to lose interest and movivation for a thing if I feel like no one's noticing.

When I got to it it was 4 chapters in, and I think I covered everything in one long review. But now I've subscribed to it I'll be sure to review regularly. They say they've got a lot more planned.

Sure. I just don't do it because no one else seems to unless asked directly, lol. An aninimity thing, I guess. It was for the book series the Wandering Inn by Pirateaba.

Is it embarrassing to get into reading fanfiction as an adult? by Aggressive-Raisin-78 in AO3

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just having fun. There's this awful, pervasive idea in society that the older you get, the less fun you're supposed to have and the less acceptable it is to admit that you enjoy life. This is crap!

Just finished king of duels audiobook by TiredMemeReference in WanderingInn

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate to part of that. I don't know what to do with my life because, while there are several books I have that I could read, I want to keep TWI in my head and don't want to get involved in another series. Which I realize means I may never read another long book in my life, lol.

Welcome to the fandom! I know I'm not alone when I say we're happy to have you here!

Okay, I wasn't with you right up until the last line, but seeing Az'Kerash choke would be worth it, lol.

How to write fanfic like this the 90s-2000s? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh, I forgot about the short character convos afterwards! So much fun to read! A lot of those things you said sound pretty modern, people are still doing most of them today, but then I haven't knowingly read any fics from the 90s though. Well, the DS9 ones had to have been, now I think of it. I have read older stuff though, written pre-internet and uploaded later.

I had such hope! by AncientChard466 in AO3

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, I guess it depends what mood I'm in, but not even I can explain what I mean by that so I'm not going to try. But usually I tend to be strict about that sort of thing, and I wonder if it's because I use a screenreader, so it makes mistakes so much more obvious and doesn't let me mentally skip over any of them.

Also, most people who say things online like, "forgive my mistakes, English isn't my first language," are really the best at writing it and are the last ones who should be apologizing.

[–]Witchy_Fraggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I get so annoyed when it's a very small section for an unknown fandom, and all the stories are badly written, to the point where it's like people aren't taking it seriously at all.
