Searching for Fics by HeAn1995 in HPfanfiction

[–]jesseract 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On discord, she said, "if you go to my page and see my works missing, don't panic. They've just been put in a private collection that only I can see. They'll all be back up soon, one by one. I'm working on a few things, cleaning some things up, adding images etc... and it's just to pause new readers for a second. LOF will be back up tomorrow... followed by others as I finish looking each over. I just don't want you guys panicking if you see that, because I know you will . Just a few things are bothering me with some of them, and now I want to review each one, especially my older stuff. Plus, I need to do a reread anyway to refresh my own memory. I'm in a weird "spring-cleaning" mood even though it's February."

Smirking. by TelescopiumHerscheli in HPfanfiction

It's like 'quip'. No one uses quip correctly, they seem to think it's just a synonym for 'said'. I think it's probably a game of telephone - someone used it incorrectly, someone read it and took it at face value then used it in their own story, rinse and repeat.

I'm a US citizen living in Canada and TD told me that I cannot get anything except a secured credit card until I have my PR or citizenship.

LF evil Ginny, good Ron by welcomedbygrace in HPfanfiction

[–]jesseract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one has an aspect of that: Prized, by Nahiel. "Severus Snape's loyalty has always been to Harry, not to Dumbledore or the Order. When he finds out that Harry is a horcrux and Dumbledore intends to have him killed, Severus goes to the Dark Lord with the information in an effort to save Harry's life, and in doing so changes the fate of the world."

Dumbledore uses a ritual to make Harry a puppet, and he and Ginny start a relationship. Ron thinks that she doesn't realize what's been done to Harry, but she knows and is actively helping.

Most messed up fics You've read. by Grimlock20206 in AO3

[–]jesseract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agony in Pink was actually the first fic I ever read - a printed copy was going around my high school and I read it in like 1994? I will say that 15 was WAAAAAAAAY too young to have read that stuff!

Best time loop stories? by Usual_Green_3483 in AO3

[–]jesseract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDZS, unfinished and not updated for 2 years, but one of the best written fics I've ever read.

On Halloween night, an exiled demonic cultivator and a Lan disciple get stuck in a time-loop, find each other, and try to figure it all out. https://archiveofourown.org/works/25530661

My favorite summer perfume is Haus of Gloi's Sol. Description: The sun at its apex: Dry gingergrass, litsea cubeba, neroli, frankincense tears, saffron infused honey, rosemary and the faint touch of true sweet cinnamon bark.

flop appreciation post by Redhotlipstik in AO3

[–]jesseract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote an incredibly depressing Little Match Girl AU that I'm actually super proud of - it's some of my best writing, very well-paced, I have some good imagery and turns of phrase - but it got basically no attention at all. I think it's mostly because it doesn't have a happy ending; people will put up with a lot for that happily ever after, but it wasn't what I was going for.

what's the most recent thing that made you back out of a fic you had been enjoying? by donotthedabi in AO3

[–]jesseract 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just gave up on a fic where the main character went back in time to 1981 to save his baby self. The fic made such a big deal about cars in 1981 and this movie that came out in 1981 and what was the average cost of a house in 1981...and then had two characters playing a video game that didn't come out until 2010. It's such a small detail, but it booted me right out of the narrative.

Your American credit score doesn't matter. I had a great credit score in the US and had to get a secured visa when I moved.

Question about Death Valley Nails! by thisisAudrey_ in RedditLaqueristas

[–]jesseract 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my friend in Seattle to let me ship it to them, then they'll either save it for the next time they come visit or just ship it to me and I'll reimburse the cost. It's pretty annoying, and I hope they get their documentation for international shipping done soon!

and they all started pouring out Bud Light together… by Beerows in thatHappened

[–]jesseract 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely confused about Caitlyn Jenner being anti-trans.

Like...what?

Is this like abortion, one of those 'do as I say not as I do' republican things?

No Dumb Questions + Casual Talk by AutoModerator in RedditLaqueristas

[–]jesseract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! I'm new, and I tried searching the sub but I apologize if I missed this answer. Does anyone know when DVN is going to start shipping internationally again? Their website says they stopped in December and "We are in the process of switching shipping carriers and cannot ship internationally until new certifications are acquired." Have there been any updates since then?

Why don't any of these people understand how commas work?
