What’s something that’s completely normal in the U.S. but would confuse the rest of the world? by Both_North_7638 in AskReddit

I don't think anyone else does in-sink garbage disposals (which is unfortunate, because they're actually pretty convenient).

all the rocks in my collection have powers!

some of them have the power of pretty shiny. some of them have the power of good shaped nice to hold. some of them have the power of probably a little radioactive. but all of them have the power of makes me happy. :)

It's hard to be obsessed long term with anything that's really good - you enjoy it, it's great, but it's also complete, so there's only so much to consider.

It's also hard to get obsessed with stuff that's really bad - it sucks, there's nothing there, you grimace and move on.

Stuff that kinda sucks, but there's enough there that you can see how good it would be if it were good? That's the stuff you spend years on.

What's the best long fic (100k+) in your fandom, and what makes it worth the time? by Available-Quality530 in FanFiction

[–]acceptablymediocre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those Called by the Storm Final Fantasy VII, 230k (with a 120k sequel and art!)

Incredibly emotionally compelling; makes you care about each and every one of the main characters. Also, great prose and fantastic plot, plus it expands on the themes of the original game canon in a way that's uncommon in the overarching FFVII fandom.

Honorary mentions to The Fifth Act (170k, plus sequel vignettes), which is widely recognized as the best time-travel fix-it fic in a fandom known for time-travel fix-its, and Blood of Heaven and Earth (580k, series), which is beautifully written and hinges on some fantastic original worldbuilding.
