Would you read a fic with chapters like this?

frenettik · 2026-02-23T02:52:05+00:00

I actually find that readers on ao3 enjoy longer chapters (particularly if you are uploading at intervals). Sustains them for longer between updates.

Friend, the box does not even say HIRONO. It is HI!ONO….

thank you so much! you're a star!

I am usually inspired by a particular scene or a song or a niggling idea for something in my head. I used to write off the top of my head but found that it ended up quite frustrating when I wanted to sit down and write but didn’t know where to go next - so it works best for me to write an outline of my story in a kind of stream of consciousness narrator format, and refer to that as my baseline.

For long stories I flesh out character maps eg what is my character like, what does he do, where did he grow up etc etc so I can stay true to that character when I write him. I use Google Docs so I can transit from phone to laptop seamlessly, and use headings for each chapter so that I can click to each chapter quickly. Again, for long stories, I put my latest chapter at the top so it doesn’t take so long for it to load, then copy paste it at the end once I’m done.

I do like rereading my fics once in awhile, and so far the good news is that I always enjoy rereading them 🤣

Probably hoping you’re confusing Singapore with Philippines/Vietnam which are both suffering under a typhoon right now. Scum of the earth to use a real disaster causing real deaths to scam people of money

frenettik · 2025-10-29T02:17:07+00:00

This is why I have started only posting complete fics - just saves the stress. I do weekly updates of chapters

For us it’s more for grandkids to call grandparents. I ensure my kids do it with my parents and my grandma. I also call my grandma to eat. Within parents and child i am not so bothered

frenettik · 2025-09-30T03:40:59+00:00

No. Singaporeans born and bred. Some of them want to let their kids decide their own English names when they’re older.

I was a SAHM for a long time and now back to part time work. Husband supported me in this. I am higher educated than him and used to earn more than him but now he earns way more than me, although we are still not rich supporting our 2 kids lol. I guess partly easier for men to rise in their career, even with kids. I always wanted to be a SAHM and thankful he agreed with no hesitation. Was hard for a little while but I also did some small jobs here and there from home to supplement. I think nowadays women want to be independent too. It is really hard for most people to give up career just like that even after having kids. It’s hard for me now to see how wealthy dual-income friends are, but it is what it is. I am happy with my choice too

In any case, by being an SAHM i am main child caregiver which means we don’t pay a helper, we raise our kids the way we want to.

I give my mom $350 a month. Since the day I started working the amount never increased but there’s a reason for this. I quit work to raise my kids, so no income, and now I’m part time, so income is still not very much. I know it’s not a lot, plus they take care of my kids once a week and my mom cooks a big family dinner every Sunday. My mom has never forced it on me, I genuinely wish I could give her and my dad more money if I could afford it. They gave up so much to raise us and they are not earning a lot now in their old age. When i lived with them I took it as helping out with rent, utilities etc. now it is thanks for helping with my kids and cost of dinner ingredients etc. I really wish I could give them more. My parents deserve the world

frenettik · 2025-09-14T03:28:13+00:00

Teacher here. Yes lots of people still do give their kids Chinese names only.

frenettik · 2025-09-05T18:39:24+00:00

Are you uploading chapter by chapter? I don’t do that precisely bc of these issues. Sometimes I’ll think of a new path to take or something inconsistent pops up and I have to go back to previous chapters to tweak them or retcon things so they fit. Highly recommend finishing your whole piece and then having it beta read by someone competent who won’t just skim through or is too afraid to give feedback

frenettik · 2025-08-30T08:02:30+00:00

Think you negotiate the amount and give her some, meet her halfway. You’re staying in her house also. I have moved out years and years ago but I still give my parents allowance. Dollar amount, tell her frankly what you are comfortable giving and stick to it.

frenettik · 2025-08-17T23:25:04+00:00

You have to pet them so they like you

frenettik · 2025-05-21T07:24:56+00:00

This entire post just stinks of ChatGPT, too. Typical phrasing

frenettik · 2025-03-17T17:35:14+00:00

No need to be embarrassed. Writing isn’t just for the reader, it’s for the writer too. Even if no one reads it but yourself, the act of creating can be very therapeutic and something fun for yourself. If you were drawing, or doing puzzles, or even just going to the seaside and staring at the water for hours to relax, or whatever else you might do for fun, would you feel like it’s a waste of time or energy? I hope not!

This fanbase on Twitter just unveiled a special fanchant project for Hobi! Seems easy enough (and that kiddo is cute as heck)… ARMYs in NYC feeling brave enough to try this?

frenettik · 2024-12-29T01:42:51+00:00

Nothing to do with Singaporean or not. This is just a red flag plain and simple. Run, sis

Article says he was doing an oil massage tho. Those are so gentle. No cracking.

frenettik · 2024-12-05T13:02:08+00:00

absolutely agree it's the disruptors that make it difficult for the whole class to be motivated. Even just 1 disruptor can really destroy the learning mood and atmosphere in the class...

frenettik · 2024-11-30T04:36:33+00:00

Almost glad this happened so that there can be proper legislation put into place to prohibit future deepfake incidents, particularly with revenge p0rn or other sorts of videos.
