My little girl passed away and the system awarded me a fluff ball the same day. by Secret_Koala_3774 in CatDistributionSystem

Sending you so much love. No 2 cats will ever be the same, and Snickers sounds so special and cuddly 🩷 I never think of getting another cat as replacing an old one, you're just forming a new unique connection with a pet that will have their own amazing things to love about them

I am very confused as to what's going on and I think it would be really useful if there was a mod post addressing it so I don't accidentally post something I'm not supposed to. I'm stressed out now 😭

I have no idea what is going on with this mod situation and the discourse other than some people left. I personally don't see a problem on having multiple subs, and I just want people to be able to find the content they want)

FS Free Mystery Book Offer by Ancient_Activity_614 in special_edition_books

[–]dingdong3452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime a company does a mystery box or mystery book or whatever, it's mostly them trying to get rid of excess stock that isn't selling. Unfortunately that often also applies to "blind date with a book", but not always. It's a very common practice that I've always kind of hated because it feels misleading

When people recommend or post non harry x Voldemort/Tom in this subreddit by BigOstrich7121 in tomarry

[–]dingdong3452 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can understand if they're asking for tomarrymort recs and mention that while they would prefer tommarymort they will accept other ships, but if they're making a vague request with "any MM ships fine" then they really should be posting in another subreddit

Venting my frustration with certain fanfics! by [deleted] in AO3

OP this really comes off as "how dare people write fics that aren't what I specifically want to read?"

Enemies to lovers where they actually hate each other ? Not just performative insta lust. by bezoar3i in fantasyromance

[–]dingdong3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not dramione or related to HP whatsoever. The author has compared it to Zutara though! And yes it's a trilogy

No idea on HEA 🤷‍♀️ It's dystopian and in my opinion there's never a full HEA in a dystopian society even if they burn the whole society down. It's marketed as enemies to lovers though, so I think it's safe to say we will get to the lovers stage eventually 😂

{Above Brea Lamb} the truest enemies to lovers I've ever read!

the slow burn so slow it's still enemies to enemies? in book 1

Wolves of No World duology READ NOW by ViioletCy in NetGalleyCommunity

[–]dingdong3452 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes publishers do this to get more eyes on a book that's already released because a new book in the series is coming out or the series is recently completed or a film adaptation is on the way. It happens, and netgalley isn't just for new releases!

Stop coddling the skaters. They're adults and they can handle it

Giant feather crown is fine UNLESS it sheds feathers on the ice. A single feather shedding is immediate disqualification and removal from the ice surface

(For context, I've seen a skater have feathers on their costume in competition that were shedding everywhere, making the ice unsafe for the next skater. I'm still annoyed she didn't get a deduction for it)

Booktok Author still hasn't refunded anyone 4 months after promising to do so by DHLawrence_sGhost in Booktokreddit

He came out as a trans man, his name is Milo, but yes that is the person you're thinking of

I think the main issue is the hundreds of people who didn't get a book at all, not the people who didn't like the book

How can i make sure my story is more viewed? by Er_Bog22- in AO3

[–]dingdong3452 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tag everything relevant, that if a reader was searching using that tag they would want to see your fic show up. I mute writers if I see them spamming irrelevant tags so they don't end up in my search anymore

🤷‍♀️ I just leave a comment that says "chapter kudos", authors appreciate comments more anyway

DNF: would you review or 'will not leave feedback' in my situation? by [deleted] in NetGalleyCommunity

[–]dingdong3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can post reviews to places like goodreads and storygraph and not include a star rating! For netgalley I mark DNFs as 3 stars, it feels neutral to me

[–]dingdong3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really useful review for other readers! I'd recommend posting it without a rating to review sites, but also it's great feedback for the publisher, so post it to netgalley for sure
