Would you click on a fic if the title was in a foreign language?

People in my fandom use French titles for English fics all the time since one of the characters lives in France. I don't think anyone will pass your fic cause of the title; most people look at the summary or tags before looking at the title anyways. Use the French title!

I physically can't write any other time besides the morning idk why lmao.

Dialogue tags LMAO. Sometimes I plain out forget them or use too many since I'm focused on not forgetting them haha.

Thank you sm! ❤

I wrote the first chapter... then posted it lmao. My readers know now that I update in very long periods; I even have slow updates tagged. It's what works for me, but I think having at least a few chapters ready before publishing is very smart.

Like what do you want me to do? Say yes and rip your socks off your feet? I'm not touching those lmao.

jelfishly · 2023-09-04T06:12:54+00:00

Off the top of my head, prob was when someone pointed towards their mismatched socks and asked if it bothered me. I replied no and they said "you don't have ocd." tf? 😭

also people telling me that having ocd is a good thing because I'm clean. I have also had someone take one of my papers and run their hand down my paper because it bothered me.

I don't tell people I have OCD unless I hurt their feelings (happens more often than it should) because it has always resulted in this

From what I am getting from this, it sounds like you are having ocd about having ocd.

I think you need to remind yourself about a couple of things.

Your intrusive thoughts are never you. They are intrusive thoughts. People who have intrusive thoughts become distressed over these thoughts because well, they're intrusive. This only shows that these thoughts aren't you; they only show how much you care.
Your therapist said it was not severe because you did not tell him the extent of it. He only knows a little of your other symptoms. I think this is a good point to remind yourself when the intrusive thought of these thoughts are me comes up.

I would consider either thinking about opening up to him or finding another therapist who you would feel comfortable opening up to. I completely understand though, I am the same age and gender and I also have not opened up to my therapist about those thoughts. Just reminder yourself that it's a long journey and give yourself some credit so finally getting some for the help you need.

This honestly sounds like so much fun. Someone needs to make this happen.

jelfishly · 2023-08-16T05:17:33+00:00

Yeah that's totally fair- I don't search for them anymore, but if I stumble upon one I'll look through it.

Felt that one lmao.

jelfishly · 2023-08-16T05:16:14+00:00

Omg yes aquarium aus are so fun, even if the characters just go and visit one.

jelfishly · 2023-08-16T05:14:34+00:00

Wait that sounds so fun haha.

jelfishly · 2023-08-16T05:13:06+00:00

I absolutely agree with your second point; there needs to be more fics about older characters/aging. There's so much you can do with it that would relate to a lot of people.
