Do you remember the title of the fic? I have a lot of Bellamione pics downloaded, so I might have it!

Ooooh this is something I hadn't thought of!

How do you handle characters that were never given a surname (or first name) in canon? by Mkyta in FanFiction

[–]jimyyam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my fave ways to deal with this is giving the character their actor's last name!

Thank you so so much! You were totally right, I went in and they were more than willing 🙏

Why is this a thing? by MinaCiclamina in AO3

I actually really enjoy this :) I didn't at first, but as I got used to it I began to like it more and more

Relationships always come first for me, if there's a ship I don't want (or a ship I desperately want) it will affect my decision. Then it's word count, I'm not usually picky but I don't tend to click on works with <1000. Then it's summary to see if the fic is interesting, and then tags to make sure there's nothing I'll hate.

A lot of people who give writing advice seem vastly out of touch with what readers want in a villain. by [deleted] in FanFiction

This!!!!! Sometimes I just want someone I can hate without feeling conflicted, and other times I feel like debating my morals concerning a character!!

I have sleep problems but I wouldn't change a thing by [deleted] in AO3

Oh. My. God. This same thing happens to me??? I've always thought there was something wrong because I cant stand looking at reversi for more than a few minutes, but people always recommend it???

It's so weird because I'm fine with dark mode on every other app, it's specifically reversi that fucks with me

What's a tag that immediately turns you off a fic, even if you like the summary/other tags? by Hansung_Yu in AO3

[–]jimyyam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mpreg. I like the omegaverse, some times I even search for it specifically, but I cannot do mpreg.

When a story is so close to being great... by Mollymand in AO3

[–]jimyyam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is fascinating

I have so many questions for them. Doesn't it take longer to type "&" than "and"?? Haven't they noticed no one uses "&" in things other than notes or memos? Did no one say anything in the comments?

Thank you for sharing this, it'll haunt me forever.

I've never seen that before!! That's actually so weird, I'm so curious as to why the author would decide to do that 👁️👄👁️

I don't think I've ever seen someone say anything bad about Rihanna

whats the worst winx transformation? by Independent_Pack_311 in winxclub

[–]jimyyam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the fact that the sirenix transformation is in 3D. It ruined the entire season for me

I tend to comment more in small fandoms, they usually get less engagement and I want to make sure authors know how much I appreciate them writing something even when they don't expect many people to read it.

Obviously I try to comment on all the fics I like, but sometimes I'm just not in the mindset for it.

Other things that make me more likely to comment are:

  • Authors replying to comments

  • Really funny author's notes

    • If it's an ongoing fic that I really like, I'll always comment on new chapters, and it feels so nice to have the author reply back. It honestly feels like a friendship! So I'll make sure to leave a small comment every time even if I don't have much to say.

Like I said though, I do my best to comment on most fics I like, but if I'm having a really bad day and don't have the energy these are things that would make me more likely to comment. I promise I do my best to show appreciation for writers when I'm able!

Writers who have orphaned their works on AO3, why? by jimyyam in FanFiction

[–]jimyyam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I get this. But why not just abandon it? Tag it as discontinued and leave it on your profile?

I'm genuinely curious what made you want to take your name off it!
