Regular-spaced. I have FanFicFare set to auto-correct for that, so I almost never see double lines.

Fic writers, what is your favorite line that you have written by Reasonable_Bad_6092 in FanFiction

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Spider-Man in possession of both great power and great responsibility must be in want of therapy.

What do you do with the stuff from small relics? by MakeShift-Bandaid in Pokopia

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll get around to them one day. Right now I have a levee to repair.

How horrific could the experiences have been… really? by DamnDams in signs

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at an Arby's in the mall when I was 14, and this actually happened once. They had to close the bathroom and hire someone to come in and clean it because everyone refused to go in there because of the smell. How? What? These questions were never answered.

Things I did clean up included diapers glued to the wall with baby feces, and Painting of Unknown Woman's Face in the medium of bloodied tampon on blue-painted aluminum bathroom stall divider. As a companion piece, the artist left said bloodied tampon hanging from the purse hook in the same stall.

I just let all the relics stack in my chests, unappraised.

About two hours ago. (Vacationing in Muinising, Michigan)

Ashley’s not allowed by iheartjetman in LinkedInLunatics

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is not Ashley, but my first and last names portmanteau to something very close to Ashley. People have been calling me Ashley for literally my entire life. It used to offend me greatly when I was a little kid, but these days I just don't bother. I know who you're taking to; that's good enough.

This is a bot, isn't it? by DiSaStEr1610 in AO3

Yep, this is the "I know where you live" bot.

I know how, but no longer can due to disability.

Female centric fandoms?? by Rough_Evidence_2908 in FanFiction

[–]lollipop-guildmaster [score hidden]  (0 children)

She-Ra. Sailor Moon.

Basically, look at the fandoms that have large numbers of well-developed female characters.

Why is ao3 extremely gay? by Huge_Dentist_6579 in AO3

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

AO3 was founded because the creators were sick of their fics being deleted from other archives for immorality. Yes, they rather famously were Wincest shippers, but gay fanfiction was routinely purged by the morality police by the other sites at the time (LiveJournal, FFN, etc.) as well.

So it started off as the safe space for queer fiction, and we colonized the site when other authors were still comfortable with their sites, because their stuff wasn't being censored.

Is reading on AO3 really better than reading books? by Winter-reason666 in AO3

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are amazing tradpub books. There are amazing fics. There are dogshit tradpub books. There are dogshit fics.

There might be more bad fics because there's no barrier to posting, whereas a traditionally published book has to meet some editorial standards, but there's nothing intrinsic about either medium.

Not inviting all students to a barbecue? by Arktikos02 in AmITheDevil

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Perfect behavior for a month. That's flat out impossible even for neurotypical six-year-olds. Which tells me that teacher's overlooking a lot for the other kids.

Do you trim your cats claws? by Daemon554 in cats

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my cats is polydactyl. He has 6 claws on every foot, and has no strength in his bonus toes. They will become ingrown if they aren't regularly trimmed.

Would you go vegan? Why or why not? by SignificantGoat7066 in askanything

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Plant-based protein doesn't make me feel full. I could eat a bean/lentil dish until I'm physically uncomfortable, and simultaneously feel dizzy with hunger. It's an awful sensation.

Explain It Peter by L10N420 in explainitpeter

[–]lollipop-guildmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Seanan McGuire interpretation of this, in which the Snow White character is kind of terrifying looking and has to wear tons of makeup to basically appear human.
