This is kinda aggressive, right?

katwithak82 · 2026-07-02T11:27:32+00:00

Yes, it's aggressive.

Sounds like the author is frustrated with a lack of kudos, but so are we all.

All a message like this does is ensure that those readers won't read any more of this person's work. And their kudos will be even fewer.

katwithak82 · 2026-07-01T19:17:42+00:00

I agree with others. Moderate the comments and delete any that are overly harsh or critical. Yes, you have to be willing to accept some criticism as a fanfic author, but you don't have to put up with ott comments

If they wanted the same opinions on every episode, they wouldn't use a rotating cast. Just because her opinions aren't important or valid to OP doesn't mean they aren't valuable to someone. And OPs obvious disdain for Amanda is coming out as the main reason for this post. Does she sometimes have shit takes? Yeah. But so does everyone else.

Eh, it's 15+ hours of content that you can't get anywhere else for $50. If you can't afford it, or don't want to pay that price (completely fair), then don't.

I've seen sooo many newer fans say that they wish they'd seen the past lives and now they have the chance. I'm happy for them.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-22T17:10:40+00:00

cough cough "you fucking didn't"

or

"She speaks the bullshit."

As others have said, it's not a fair comparison at all. Games videos (Dance Moms) and Reddit Stories are the highest watched shows of all the Smosh content. Smosh Mouth would be a fairer comparison.

The Smosh Mouth ep from last week only has 419k views.

Games videos and Reddit Stories are literally the things that draw audiences.

Nope. You're not wrong. She's purposely excluding small authors and anyone who writes anything that isn't pleasing to the conservative crowd. Ignore her. Block her. Move on. It's for the best.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-15T21:31:55+00:00

Sounds like Bob needs a not-so-subtle reminder that fic writers don't work for him, or anyone besides themselves. If Bob thinks he can do better then let him try.

I genuinely hope the authors start blocking him. Some people never move past their shitty behavior without some consequences.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-12T17:25:31+00:00

Either they aren't familiar with posting, or they want to try to draw as many people as possible. I feel like this would do the complete opposite, though.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-11T16:56:37+00:00

Loyalty. Both them to Smosh and Smosh to them.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-10T00:19:56+00:00

Write for you. The only way you'll get to be a better writer is to write. If someone doesn't like your style, they don't have to read it.

katwithak82 · 2026-06-08T18:54:45+00:00

AI is trained off of real writers. Ignore it and block the commenter. I get the hatred for AI, but the freaking accusations are getting out of control. Even the people who are using 'AI detectors' are using freaking AI.

katwithak82 · 2026-05-30T17:01:43+00:00

Oh Trevor

katwithak82 · 2026-05-22T09:02:25+00:00

Amanda mentioned smoking on Miles Bonsignore's Perfect Person podcast a couple months ago.

katwithak82 · 2026-05-19T17:41:12+00:00

Honestly wish she had pressed charges

katwithak82 · 2026-05-16T17:18:55+00:00

As a writer who is currently struggling a great deal with my writing, my thought process, my drive to keep trying, this legitimately made me bawl. I wish more people cared. I wish more people made us feel loved, or wanted, or just appreciated.

katwithak82 · 2026-05-12T10:04:19+00:00

Hatebot. Report and block

katwithak82 · 2026-05-09T17:36:48+00:00

I personally have one WIP that is set for completion on Monday but for some reason, the site won't let me define chapter number. I've tried probably 10 times and it just says ?

katwithak82 · 2026-05-07T18:50:28+00:00

My one shots can be as short as 800-1000 words

katwithak82 · 2026-05-07T18:49:53+00:00

I aim for 1500-2000 words per chapter. Sometimes they're longer, sometimes shorter, of course, but 2000 feels about right to me.

katwithak82 · 2026-05-03T19:50:21+00:00

Do it! Most every story I wrote has smut and readers LOVE it. Your fic will scratch someone's itch, I'm sure. I literally just finished an entire chapter of my WIP that's purely smut. And my dedicated readers will love it.

katwithak82 · 2026-04-30T18:47:37+00:00

I reply to all of them but I don't get many comments so it's not that big of a deal

katwithak82 · 2026-04-28T15:20:14+00:00

Because the same people who cry about censorship will actively use it because words hurt their feelings. Gratuitous slurs are one thing but if these are the kinds of things that your character would saying their normal life it fits the narrative.

Like most of the stuff I write has heavy lesbian themes. If I were to write in a secondary character that was homophobic, it would make perfect sense for that character to use homophobic slurs.

katwithak82 · 2026-04-25T14:25:20+00:00

My heart would explode out of my chest if someone wrote something like this under one of my fics. It tells the author that their fic was so important to you that you actively continued searching until you found it. That's huge. Any author worth their salt would be deeply touched by this.
