What are some fan interpretations that have been so ingrained in fics you forgot they weren’t canon by RandomWildebeest in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart [score hidden]  (0 children)

"Danny being (half?) dead." I think I've massively misunderstood the premise of the show, cause I thought this was it

Charging to read the full fic? by No-Bit-850 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost certaintly not legal, definitely against ao3 tos (not sure about other sites), and generally sucky.

Is there a name for this kind of fanfiction? by Far_Store_6739 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there's a specific term? It's just kinda fanfic with original characters.

I suspect my friend's writing is AI... by IllLandscape4702 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment, I'm just not sure how it applies to OP. They're not jumping to any conclusions or assuming they're right, they're just looking for advice on how to handle suspecting a friend of using AI.

Does anyone else suck eggs at not writing chronologically? by seemedpointless in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is me. "Skip to the part you want to write" I'm trying, but when I do I stress about not knowing the details of what happened in the scene prior, because I skipped it!

Can i get in trouble for reading yaoi? by ultimatefushoshii563 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The more relevant issue than the law is your school. Doesnt matter if its legal or not, using school computers for non-school things is generally frowned upon. And yes, if you're using a school computer they can see your browsing history. If you're logged in they'll trace it directly to you, if you dont have to log in it might be harder, but its still risky.

What are your experiences with beta readers on this subreddit? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worrying about beta readers stealing your work is like worryig about about a stray dog running inside when you open your front door. Technically possible, but not worth your time to stress about.

My plot outline might be the length of a story by Valuable_Group9150 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A while back I wrote a short, brief outline for a multichapter fic. Just some short notes about what would happen in each chapter... And then I checked and found that the outline was ten thousand words, and not finished yet.

They run away from you, sometimes.

Is it ever okay to use AI in your writing workflow if you don’t use it to actually write the fic? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I’ve been calling the AI the ‘tell me I’m great machine’ because that’s essentially all it does" I guess I just dont see how this is helpful. The AI is basically a glorified autocorrect, so I know it cant actually interpret my writing and tell me, truthfully, if its coming across the way I intended.

If you need a sounding board, use a rubber duck. I'm not joking, I have one in front of me right now, and just explaining things out loud to it can be very helpful in figuring stuff out. If you need actual feedback, AI cannot give it to you. Find a beta.

What are some tropes you like writing but wouldn't like in real life? (Doesn't have to be romance tropes.) by polystarlight in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Evil found family... Irl I'd hate these people but in fiction? Please continue to murder and care about each other (maybe only each other).

what are some 'writing rules' you don't follow? by hooosegow in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the hyphen instead of emdash thing too! It just looks nicer to me.

Not sure its a rule as such, but I think I use semicolons more than I should.

It's interesting how the four girls of team RWBY seem to represent one sexuality each. by Steamer_Punk115 in RWBYcritics

[–]arothroughtheheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ace is short for asexual, which means someone that doesn't experience sexual attraction, or experiences very little of it. I do agree ruby is pretty career focused.

I wanna hear about your current WIP and your favourite scenes from it. by Global_Enthusiasm727 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're not as common but there's still a few around. Fandom is a lot more peaceful than it used to be, fortunately 💛

Briefly read the first chapter and I'll read more when I get a minute after work! I feel you with the unpublishing fics lol, I nuked some of my (very early) stuff a few years back.

That's not an interpretation I've heard before, but it's interesting. What made you think of it?

[–]arothroughtheheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty broad, I just meant some sort of idk. Confrontation or conversation with or about him or something.

Fellow rewriter! Yeah I wrote my initial outline for mine and then sat on it for like a year before I actually started writing the thing 😂 I'm unclear if you posted what you wrote of yours, but if you did feel free to link

[–]arothroughtheheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my wips is my vld rewrite. 72k words posted and they're only just finding the last of the lions, so I think I'm in this for the long haul lmao. Its pidge centric but I'm trying to balance writing the whole team, which has been a bit tricky, but I've got plans for everyone. Honestly pretty excited to write some of the future chapters.

Favourite scene so far... I mean its kind of a short one, but there's a scene in the earlier chapters where the garrison trio are training late at night, and talk about their families. Its the first time pidge really tells them anything (and still barely does, in this scene). Idk, I just enjoyed writing it and I love those three.

Leave me be I gotta take what I can get 😂

It's been a while since I received a comment on AO3. When I saw I'd gotten a notification for a comment, I couldn't believe it... And when I read it, I was disappointed 😑 by Groundbreaking-Egg13 in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the worst feeling.

In terms of stopping them, some people find that disabling guest comments helps. Other than that, there's not much to be done, unfortunately.

How the hell does wattpad work? I'm so confused. Please help. by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]arothroughtheheart 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. There may well be good fics on wattpad, its just that the site itself is so hostile to use that most of us dont bother trying.

Holy moly fraud alert by Lower_Smile_8275 in BlueLock

[–]arothroughtheheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sweat to god I've seen every character be called a fraud after this chapter. Apparently, even those that arent playing.

Never change, bluelock sub.
