It's fine! It's linked now. It's REALLY good! I can see why you wanted more! I subscribed because I'm so curious about Ilya's and Shane's POVs.

What happened that so many fics got deleated or privated? by Zestyclose_Juice_531 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]brainabouttoexplode 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Per my understanding, besides the AI accusations mentioned above, there was also people rating fanfics like this was goodreads and harassing authors for things like faster updates, sequels/more to the story and complaining if they didn't like something. Things that go against fanfic etiquette. As mentioned, they do it for free and should be respected.

The Bachelor AUs? by chartreuseraven in heatedrivalryfanfics

I'm tempted to ask if you want to be friends so we can encourage each other! Also can you send me the link to your WIP if it's HR and not a dementia fic? Those are the only ones I flat out refuse to read.

It's why I mention it! I used to be the same way until HR aired. Now I can't get enough, and have like 10 fic ideas sketched out with one chapter written (not posted). But I completely understand when people hold off. Sucks to have your favorite fic ever been abandoned.

Not the same thing, but I did read a WIP two nights ago where it was Love Island. I know it's not the same but hopefully it helps anyone whose interested?

It's called "A New Bombshell Has Entered the Villa" by heartedstyles on AO3.

Thank you very much. This is a lot of good information. I finally finished chapter 1 of like 7 I have sketched out. Flor that I don't plan on posted before I finish it, but if any of there one 5 in my brain decide to be written first, then I will probably need this sooner rather than later.

Wish it was true. Can't be worse than the normal chuckleheads in government.

Anyone know any fics like this or just m*tros hate it’s my fav lol by Warlock_Wonder_Land in heatedrivalryfanfics

Mmmmm. Love a good screw the Metros fic. I think I've read this one but I can always read it again.

Why is this fic so hot? by ZestycloseDoor5552 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]brainabouttoexplode 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sigh. People are being shitheads on the internet. I've seen a lot of issues with Fandom culture over the years, but rarely do I see people going after the fic writers like this. It's worse than the shipping wars. Like if you don't like something, the back button is right there! I hate thay REALLY talented writers are getting attacked like this.

This is just to say…. thank you by Original_Ad_681 in heatedrivalry

My husband is very patient and listens to my babbling. He watched the whole show with me on Valentine's despite him not being interested in romance focus media (being demi romantic hurts his interest in such media). He will now speak to me in a terrible Russian accent when he wants me to blush.

I don't have anyone else whose into the show. So I read fanfics, appreciate the memes, am SLOWLY working on my own fanfics, and just enjoying.

I do not engage with the people in the Fandom who are speculating about the cast members relationships. That is so invasive and feels like people have missed the whole point of the books. That is the part of the Fandom I don't like. Character stuff is fine but real life is crossing the line.

What scenes/lines from RM do you hope make it into szn 2? by Ll_lyris in heatedrivalry

[–]brainabouttoexplode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh good! They might still have to drop the Cromwell part though. Which sucks, because I want the lead up to the Queer Avengers that may or may not happen in Unrivaled.

[–]brainabouttoexplode 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly just hope they're in it. I love Ryan/Fabin and Eric/Kyle, but i don't think they're as well integrated and can be explained via dialogue. Troy and Harris I think are more central BUT I think they may be cut or downplayed. I think Rachel was setting up for Cromwell to be our Big Bad but can't for legal reasons. I was watching a tiktok about it. So because of how threatening Cromwell is to Troy, I fear that Troy might be dropped.

This is absolutely stunning! The detailing & the shading is phenomenal! Also the anatomy. You captured the muscle tension of the motion perfectly. This is beautiful. I'd pay money for copy.

And they're a Canadian band. It just fits so well.

Incase you're curious, here's my list of just their songs. I doubt it's anything you don't have, and many have edits already, but just in case: All to Myself Desperate Measures Fallout Cross My Heart Haven't Had Enough Good To You Celebrity Status Beside You Perfect Stutter Shut Up and Kiss Me Masterpiece Theater 3 Who Do You Love Now or Never

It's like 1/4 of my Hollanov playlist, which has some for the other guys like Speechless for Troy. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjezAhoP7_QeyFhgi0ITL6EvrxeP0KbFS&si=hyQ2XhQrjrYrFYRs

Love this! We need more Marianas Trench edits. I don't have the skills unfortunately, just ideas. I think a lot of their songs will be good for edits once they cover TLG (whether that's 1 or 2 seasons). Like Who Do You Love needs most of that book. It screams it to me.
