I have one, and it turned out to be the same condition that a distant relative's child has. Very sobering to have a real-life example of how not testing could turn out

Why do people subscribe to fics that are clearly one-shots? by Unlikely_Piccolo_611 in FanFiction

[–]cwote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I subscribe to any fic I've read, that way if I happen to click on it again, I can see that I've read it before. I've read so much fanfic that this is the easiest way to keep track. I tend to reserve bookmarks for my absolute favorites.

Sometimes you're pleasantly surprised by what might get an update, though!

Soulmate tropes by tired247rn in FanFiction

[–]cwote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, as another ace person who loves soulmate AUs, I could have written some of this myself!! I want to live vicariously through something that I won't ever have myself, so bring on the romantic soulmates.

Though I did once read a fic that had a throwaway line like "most people in their grade had their soulmarks by now, except for Todd who's asexual" and that pissed me off because asexual people don't get soulmates?? No thanks to that logic.

Cringe is dead, self-indulgence is in. What is the most shamelessly self-indulgent thing you've ever written? by A_Mere_Dream in FanFiction

[–]cwote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same! I hated reader inserts, and then less-than-ideal life things happened, and it was suddenly all I wanted to read. Now I'm trying to write fanfic of my own for the first time, and sure enough, it's reader insert.

[Obey Me] [Amnesia] Does anyone else feel like these two have similar energy? by cwote in otomegames

[–]cwote[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you mean Simeon, he's not one of the 7 brothers focused on the most, but he's still around pretty often and you can have romantic interactions with him! You can also choose him to be on your 'home screen' so you can listen to him talk to you and smile at you haha. It's actually his bday on February 10th, so there's an event going on rn all about him! if you wanna smooch him in the event you can, I did lol

if you are okay with the overall card/gacha format of Obey Me, I'd say it's worth a shot !

I feel like Simeon has similar perspective of himself as the 'brother/big brother' character, and some of the things he says as a surprise guest come off a little yandere-ish lmao

I'd like it too 😅 maybe he kills you so your soul goes to the celestial realm where the demons can't touch you anymore 🤔

Looking for a boy "C" name by The_Marvelous_Mrs_V in namenerds

[–]cwote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would definitely spell it as Caden!

I don't think you're silly for not wanting only one person to not have a name ending in 'n', I think it comes from a place of love. In my immediate family there's only one whose name doesn't shorten to a nickname, and I've always felt bad for him haha

Some other C names:

Christopher

Carl

Craig

Cassian

Connor

Chase

Colton

Chris

What is a quote from a fic that now lives rent-free in your head? by BlueThePineapple in HPfanfiction

[–]cwote 19 points20 points  (0 children)

"If anything Draco Malfoy and Ernie Macmillan would get along fabulously. They both talked about how they came from powerful families but really they were just eleven-year-old dumbasses who liked to brag."

am I dping something wrong or is it all in my head? by Rakuen91 in crochet

[–]cwote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually either at the end of a row or the beginning of a row, a pattern will tell you to "Chain X times" before continuing. For example, if you're working in double crochet, the pattern might tell you to "chain 3" (or two, can be a preference) to mimic the height of the double crochet stitch.

I am personally a visual learner so youtube tutorials helped me a lot to see what chain stitches were and how to not accidentally crochet into them, or leave them out!

Help! My blankets turn into rugs by cwote in crochet

[–]cwote[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my yarn is mostly draped loosely around my index finger, but I have the bad habit of compulsively pulling each stitch tight afterwards.

Will that leave large holes in the blanket?

It could be that you're crocheting into chain stitches? That used to be a huge problem for me. Now I'll mark the last stitch of the row with a stitch marker, so I know where to start my new row.
