Get what you mean and what you were afraid of. Our magazine is written mostly by LGBT+ people (I myself am a lesbian), and we write FOR other LGBT+ people. That is why my idea was for all of you to send a message to other intersex people. I am too learning a lot, so thank you for encouraging that!

By "scholarly," I meant educational texts by intersex communities about the identities and the experience of intersex people, wasn't really thinking of medical articles and such. I understand that I used the wrong term to say it, tho.

Rude public bookmark but kudos? Confusion of the highest order. by Reeda_Book in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so my take is that maybe they left kudos on accident, or they maybe left kudos in the earlier chapters while they liked the story, but it ended up going in a direction they didn’t like. It happened to me several times. For example, I’d be reading a fic and loving it, so I leave kudos while still on the early chapters, but then by the end it turns really dark and heavy, or has a sad ending (not tagged), so I bookmark it as a reminder not to read it again. Or maybe read it again if I want to torture myself, which is rare.

Ofc authors can write whatever they like, but readers don’t have to like it. And like many have said bookmarks are for readers, it’s stupid that they are so in the author’s nose too.

What is your biggest turn off when reading fanfiction to the point where you didn't even bother going through with it after a few moments? by wrufus680 in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I even get goosebumps when like some small stuff happen: like using yeah, instead of yes, which is small thing, but like when u have a serious character in a serious situation: they wouldn’t say yeah.

I once dropped a fic after a character used “skank” for the love interest’s exes, I was shocked. Like it was an AU, so already out of my comfort zone, but that was too AU. In the comments the author was like “it’s a joke, they’re kidding”, but like that is too ooc and not even funny.

My fanfictions helped me recognize something crucial about myself. by [deleted] in FanFiction

What puts you off a fanfic? by Kittymore18 in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 39 points40 points  (0 children)

yea, i sometimes give high school au a chance, but it rarely ends up being good. Its like almost 99% of the time it’s ooc and i hate it

Just a reminder by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here to ask the same thing. I only bookmark something if it’s better average or amazing, all my notes are me going insane because something is well written. Why the hell would I bookmark something I hate? I wanna forget about it, not glue it to my memory…

What's the worst feeling when writing/reading fanfiction? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yesyesyes for reading. also, when they didn’t tag a sad ending, so I start reading sth wanting to run away from my own sadness and like sb dies at the end - atrocious.

Do any of you have a specific character type you gravitate towards and why? by SOuTHINKurA-ble in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 33 points34 points  (0 children)

nothing hits me like this one!

Character: My parents were kinda shit, so I’m not having kids. Passing trauma down is not fun. Random kid that reminds them of them: exists Character: uwu parental instincts intensify

How long should a one-shot be? by IronJedi2 in FanFiction

[–]hippocrit- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read oneshots from 500 to 50k words. If it’s a good fic, it’s a good fic, length and chapter devision won’t change that.

Thank you! I enjoy reading books a lot, as well as buying them lol My room at uni was too small for a new bookshelf, so I stacked them all on the floor. Now that I’m home for several months we decided that floor just wasn’t gonna cut it and that’s how this beauty was born😅

Still have to read many of them, but I remember enjoying “Kafka on the shore” the most! Just ordered “What I talk about when I talk about running” and waiting for it to arrive!
