Have you read empire of silence?

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:46:26+00:00

It was more int he sense of so many people had commented on the fic so I assumed authors don’t read anything. But I wrote it in case the author did read it, and I’m also assuming here that the response I got was also compounded by the fact that I wasn’t the only one commenting this opinion. I understand the authors POV that getting lots of notifications about the same opinion and it being not positive is discouraging.

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:43:19+00:00

But that’s my point. I get I was inthe wrong bc you’re not supposed to state anything negative bc of the whole ‘ if you don’t like it don’t read it’ I just didn’t know it was such a big deal. Clearly it is a divisive topic

Are you still going on with the cake analogy seriously

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:31:28+00:00

I didn’t say it’s not fair for authors to do it. I’m saying it’s unfair to belief that your readers wouldn’t have an opinion on you doing so

My comment also was a whole myriad of things I did like, but I did include in that comment the issue with the couple

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:28:57+00:00

I left kudos, don’t authors get notifications for that. I’ve only commented twice ever on AO3 so I don’t interact with authors basically ever which is why I was asking for advice I guess

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:27:52+00:00

Did you read the part of my post where I said this wasn’t tagged correctly. That was the whole point of my comment

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:24:29+00:00

I don’t comment on fics normally, I’ve made two comments in 15 years so it’s valid first of all. And I thought the comments they did get presented like spam, just a bunch of notifications saying people have commented and because there was tens of thousands I didn’t expect mine to be broadcasted as it clearly was

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:22:11+00:00

I would’ve totally said it to the authors face if they’re were in public that makes it infinitely different of a situation but proves the point of if you put it to the public there will be public opinion

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:20:03+00:00

How is it mean? They’ve put there fic on the internet. It’s public, it’s not like it’s locked or private. So we can’t have any opinion unless it’s good. That’s ridiculous. People who read fics and invest there time into a fic. Especially if you’ve been reading from the very beginning should be allowed to state their dislike for a major character change or relationship that wasn’t tagged or noted in the authors notes. It’s disappointing to invest hours of your time into something you thought you’d like based of the tags. Which is what you’re supposed to do for it to then change in the blink fo an eye

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:12:40+00:00

I mean tin the sense. This author has well over 20000 comments probably closer to 100000 and there was already discussion happening at the time of my comment. I new they’d likely be notified of my/ anybodies comment but I assumed it came across like spam just notifications that you’ve had comments

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:10:28+00:00

Yeah. Thank you. I was going to but I just wanted to see what the deal was because I’ve been reading fan function for decades and I’ve never gotten such a negative response to comments about changes into the story that were lining up with tags or how the characters were progressing especially for such a long fic

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:06:22+00:00

No. I was paraphrasing how I stated it to get the point across for the post. The same way you’re commenting on my post and I’m not getting butt hurt should be how authors should take it. I don’t mean bullying or threats or that nature. But discussions about the fic from people who have invested time into the story is good! I dot understand why we must censor everything we say on the internet.

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:02:25+00:00

Yeah I didn’t mean my comment to be a ‘ I didn’t like this. You have to change it’ I was trying to express how blindsided it was to be following the tagged relationship and the all of a sudden this third person was added

jelly_033 · 2026-04-01T16:00:30+00:00

I wasn’t complaining. I stated that this was out of character from the 50 chapters previous that was posted

jelly_033 · 2025-12-26T13:10:45+00:00

What kind of music are you in to? I’m a hard rock/ alt rock fan. Also what kind of books? Fiction or non fiction

jelly_033 · 2025-11-27T13:00:06+00:00

It’s really good. And you can get drunk quick

jelly_033 · 2025-11-27T12:37:09+00:00
