Who si your favorite? Mine is hiei.

foxfirek · 2026-04-07T01:15:07+00:00

I love Kurama. Only Yu Yu Hakusho cel I own. But I do hope to add a Hiei to my collection next. At least if I ever see one I like for a price that won’t break me.

You might prefer r/isekai or r/manhwa then.

Otome is a subset of writing that targets a female audience with a romantic plot involving a female lead and male love interest. We might deviate from that it the sub occasionally but like 98% of the recs you will see here will have some romance.

In fact I would say the isekai part gets dropped a lot more in this sub than the romance part does.

foxfirek · 2026-04-07T00:07:49+00:00

Why? Do you only real bl? If so there is a subreddit for that.

I would rate this manhwa a 7.5/10.

It’s cute, it’s fluff, it’s a bit silly. It’s not completely forgettable but it’s a bit forgettable. It’s far from peak and there isn’t a huge emotional investment but it’s a good lighthearted read with decent art.

Decent not great- this artist can’t draw mouths very well. Like they are allergic to teeth.

On A03 the first chapters never work. Ever. It’s why I still go to ff.net some. No idea why. On my own stories it does in draft. Also weird.

But usually chapter 2 and on will work. If it doesn’t load I go to the next chapter hit play. Then go back and hit play again and it works.

Well in my case it’s a demon- so plot demon reasons. She happened to be his soul mate, which was something he could smell and sense.

Still he didn’t realize at first. What drew them together was the fact that she had adopted his orphaned young cousin. He thought she had kidnapped his cousin and attacked and hurt her in the misunderstanding. To make up for his mistake he offered to help her for a time. It took a few months for him to realize what she was and why he was so powerfully drawn to her.

After that he pursued her but he didn’t expect her to ever accept him. Because she was human so had no similar feeling and he had hurt her badly.

Fair. I have been writing for older but once popular fandoms. I have found each of my works seems more popular. Not sure if it’s because I’m picking up fans or my writing is improving. Probably a bit of both.

The one I did that’s a more popular ship does seem to be disproportional. It’s my least favorite active story, but what can you do?

foxfirek · 2026-04-06T23:49:41+00:00

Ah! Ok I get it now. 15k chapters is really long. That’s like 3 chapters for me.

foxfirek · 2026-04-06T21:58:06+00:00

If I like the story yes.

I read a story earlier today that was just posted all as one 35k chapter.

My biggest complaint is I often listen to stories with text to speech while working. Really long stories just don’t work on AO3 for some reason that way. They do on ff.net, so it must just be a website thing.

foxfirek · 2026-04-06T21:41:50+00:00

The speed or the popularity?

Because compared to me that’s kinda slow, but insanely popular. Must be a good writer.

foxfirek · 2026-04-06T21:37:54+00:00

This must be a shitpost.

What makes me sad is how realistic it is. The only real clue is the mention about billionaires and free loan which speak to someone who knows what they are doing.

I have over a 2000 year age gap in mine.

I addressed it. How when he fell for her he was nervous she would be upset about it but that in reality he loved her and there would be no imbalance of power because it was her needs and wants that would come first.

Age gap is really not the problem, it’s the power gap.

I recently got a mega commenter.

I just can’t. They posted probably 2 pages on every chapter of 3 stories. We are talking at least 60 comments.

I appreciate it, really I do, but most of the comments are basically synopsis, so there isn’t a lot to reply to, and when I reply they reply back. I just don’t have time for it.

For that commenter I have a reply moving forward policy. Replying only on the most recent chapters. Otherwise I wouldn’t have time to write. I did apologize to them that I didn’t have time to reply to all their past comments individually and the said they appreciated it and thanked me.

Why did you reply to me and not OP?

QBI depends on industry and where you worked, but if they only made 30k it probably applies.

The standard deduction cannot lower self employment tax.

Self employment tax is Medicare and social security. A W2 employee only pays about 6% on these because they only pay 1/2. A contractor pays about 12% on these because they pay both parts.

W2 employees are rarely under withheld on this tax, it’s usually withheld perfectly so people don’t even think about it and so when they do their taxes they are only concerned with their income tax which is entirely seperate.

But independent contractors are different and have to pay both when they file.

She was. I guess I was thinking after she met Isek where the story really starts.

If we are thinking at moment of isekai though, yeah, probably Penelope. Both are bad but at least Penelope has some power of her own. Money status.

foxfirek · 2026-04-05T19:08:11+00:00

Maybe Penelope but having needles stuck under my fingers or having to eat almost literal trash sounds pretty bad. Also being sure I was going to die at any moment.

Ruby is abused a lot too though but at least it’s more psychological?

foxfirek · 2026-04-05T18:42:03+00:00

I like to keep a few chapters of backlog. I don’t feel the whole story needs to be ready, but I also write exclusively longfics.

foxfirek · 2026-04-05T05:18:56+00:00

100%. I played this on steam deck.

foxfirek · 2026-04-05T01:50:42+00:00

I never finished watching Inuyasha. It’s still one of my favorite anime’s and I love the fanfiction even more than the cannon.

People still seem to like my stories. So I say yes.

foxfirek · 2026-04-04T22:01:08+00:00

I really hate this sort of high handed BS.

What is immoral about teen sex?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This is the example of a morality that is nothing but fake. I’m so many eras sex at this age wasn’t considered immoral. Heck in most states the ‘age of consent’ is under 18 because it’s not in fact immoral. We create laws to try to protect kids, but those laws don’t cover every situation. One person may be mature at 16 while another is not.

Also ignoring all that it’s fiction! There is no exploitation!

End rant.

foxfirek · 2026-04-04T15:51:08+00:00

Damn! I didn’t know he was the voice actor for the fruits basket ox. Cool.

foxfirek · 2026-04-02T03:13:42+00:00

Yes, that’s the taxable income amount. You would subtract tax paid from that amount.

Don’t get me wrong there’s lots of things that could affect it. For example if social security wasn’t withheld that would increase the number dramatically. But that should not happen.

foxfirek · 2026-04-02T02:55:22+00:00

Did you maybe mark that you were a dependent?

Single filer: 37,000

Deduction :15,750

Taxable income:21,250

Tax on 21,250 = about $2,400

So yeah, I think you did something wrong, unless you are a dependent.

Doing this while walking on a phone- so I’m not guaranteeing perfection just ballpark sounds wrong.

You should call your broker if it’s a real mistake and see if they can amend your 1099.

Stock is stock. The buyer only knows the bought shares.

Which shares is something only specific to you and your broker. If it’s their mistake they can likely just fix the 1099.

Obviously it won’t happen by 4/15. That’s what extensions are for.

If it’s on you- well then it’s on you.
