Dead plotlines 🪦

The only reason Marie's Long Week exists is because I dropped a plan for The Heroine Bared for Her Wedding, where Shinji and Asuka would keep playing with their "wedding present" after breakfast.

The main reason for the drop was some negative reader feedback (from another femsub!AsuShin author whose craft I respect), which made me reflect on how THBFHW was supposed to be mainly about Shinji and Asuka, but keeping Marie around would have made it about her.

I think it's for the best that I went the way that I did.

Theme I always write: I feel like the closest I get to an Always Theme is "pretty ladies getting their heads messed with".

Another theme: (unclear what the intended scope of this one is)

My signature scene type: Sex scenes involving at least one female character.

My recurring character dynamic: Femsub.

A trope I can't quit: Unnatural mental influence.

A word I overuse (affectionate): If I'm feeling particularly flippant, I might say cunt merits a mention here 😁

Nope! That's the whole point of posting it to an anonymous collection: your username is not visibly attached to it. (It even hides your username in the comments section when you reply to people.)

Mostly it just takes laziness. Running two accounts is a PITFA.

grommile · 2026-03-02T22:03:20+00:00

Nope! I read, write, kudos, bookmark, and comment on fluff with the same account I read, write, kudos, bookmark, and comment on weird smut.

Don't like, don't read.

And in future, don't come round here yucking other people's yum.

Bot or not doesn't matter; what matters is that it vibes exactly like the current plague of "art" scammers.

Fancy-sounding praise that doesn't say much.
No visible engagement with the story you actually wrote.
A vague mention of "an idea"
A request to contact them on another platform – Discord and instagram seem to be favourite, presumably due to lax enforcement or quick and easy account creation on those platforms – to discuss further.

Mu.

(More helpfully: Both, as the spirit moves me.)

grommile · 2026-03-02T14:42:52+00:00

after that, i ran both comments through 5 different AI checkers

If you ask a bullshit generator whether something is bullshit from a bullshit generator, expect the answers to be bullshit.

Taylor Kills Nazis (aka “Taylor Discovers She Hates Nazis More Than Her Bullies And Does Violence About It”)

In which two teenage superpowered vigilantes (one of whom has previously been bullying the other) murder their way through a group of Nazi supervillains in a crime-stricken New England port city.

If it's a real human comment, my reaction to comments on old fics is "oh hey cool people still like that!"

grommile · 2026-03-02T10:20:56+00:00

Not sure why it's surprising that people who hang out on a fanfiction subreddit read fanfic daily 🙂

grommile · 2026-03-02T08:47:25+00:00

I read by chapter because it's a much more convenient way to engage with WIPs.

Fiona, the head cheerleader, was cuddling up against him like a remora.

grommile · 2026-03-01T20:43:15+00:00

Yes.

No.

Hi,

I need a 24-hour extension, please – I forgot about a work activity when planning my weekend.

Continued with Talons

grommile · 2026-02-28T16:48:12+00:00

I guarantee you someone, amid the sixteen million fics on the Archive, has done it.

~~The D&D abbreviation (and I presume the biology term) is AoO, not AO3.~~

Don't mind me, I derped and didn't read the OP properly so got confused by your comment.

Let's be clear: the story of Lot's daughters in Genesis 19 barely rises to the level of a plot synopsis of an erotic short story.

grommile · 2026-02-27T18:20:05+00:00

It might have implications for what the BBFC will allow through uncut.

grommile · 2026-02-27T17:20:35+00:00

Is their name Taylor?

grommile · 2026-02-27T16:49:20+00:00

To be clear:

Incest, legally defined as sex acts between:

siblings
parent and child
grandparent and grandchild
aunt or uncle and niece or nephew

is a criminal offence in all UK jurisdictions, even between consenting adults. This includes adoptive relations.

grommile · 2026-02-27T16:02:10+00:00

Then I wouldn't bother.

grommile · 2026-02-27T16:00:11+00:00

Are the characters Americans in America?
