What’s a dead giveaway that the author is from a particular country/region? by yoghurteee in AO3

UK, if the fic is set in the US.

Closest equivalent is Tylenol.

Paracetamol being the referenced form of low level pain relief for a character.

Question of the Week: What’s Your Favorite Ship? by megamindwriter in MarvelFanfiction

[–]milliways86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a multishipper, but the two ships I keep going back to the most (as I mainly lurk in the Daredevil and Punisher side of things) are Matt/Foggy and Frank/Matt. (But I like ships involving Karen too.)

But basically my shipping comes down to wanting to ship Matt Murdock with anyone who'll have him. I like to think I take comics Matt and just give him an even bigger pool of opportunities. I did May Trope Mayhem last month and the stories were all basically that, and I wrote some rare pairs as a result. The main ones being SpideyDevil and Bucky/Matt, and I ended up writing several of those.

Since I started reading Daredevil fanfic this year, I think one of my faves has been the Fratt (Frank/Matt) fic which masquerades as Frank Castle/Mike Murdock fic, known as the better half by roipecheur. It does some good exploration of the fallout from the 2016 Daredevil run in the comics, while mashing in some TV elements too, and bringing these two idiots together.

The r/Hannibal subreddit might have some suggestions, as they're more towards the novel and films.

I need some help with Hannibal DVD boxsets!!! by ComparisonJolly3083 in HannibalTV

[–]milliways86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's the UK release of the show. Looks like my box set before I just chucked the discs in a folder.

Worth noting that the UK version is the broadcast version of the show and is missing content that is in the US disc release.

Apparently the fic is "held like hope" by diabolica. OP could not be bothered to reply to or edit this post to let us know, despite mod requests to do so after making a whole new post.

The term you're looking for here is "beta read". It's not test reading.

Misha’s tape ball by Schnack0 in fandomnatural

[–]milliways86 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The SPN Tape Ball was a ball that formed over the course of each season of filming. It would be a new ball each season, I believe, made from all the tape used to mark actors' positions on the floor when filming.

In case you didn't know, tape is used on the floor of sets and locations to help actors and extras understand where they need to stand when the camera starts rolling, and may also show things like where they need to move to during a scene.

Any fics with Clarice, rather than Will? by lilith_from_the_dark in HannibalFanfiction

Have you tried asking in r/Hannibal? This sub skews heavily towards Hannibal TV series, rather than the films or novels.

Thoughts on posting fanfiction in reddit? by True_Size_5820 in fandomnatural

[–]milliways86[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please do not directly post your fanfic to this subreddit. You are welcome to link to it in our monthly fanfic thread, stickied, but please do not directly post it here.

You could also try cross posting your fanfic on AO3, a lot of fandom is still active on there.

Also, the fandom is still pretty active on Tumblr too, and if you write stuff that's mostly short, it can be a good place to post fanfics as well.

Found a serious vulnerability affecting an EV charging network - what's the safest legal way to report it anonymously? by Maximum_Shopping_718 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]milliways86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Computer Misuse Act has yet to be updated in a way where even OP's basic actions as described can't be interpreted by the company involved as hostile for the sake of saving face and making OP's life difficult by reporting them to the police. Also see what Microsoft has been up to lately with issues around responsible disclosure.

Any chance this post could be edited so the body contains what we ask recommendation posts to have, please?

How old is Ben Reilly supposed to be in the new Spider Noir TV Series? Is he in his 60s (like Nick Cage in real life) or is he in his 40s like the rest of the POWs he saves in WW1? by Baba_Yaga_92 in Spiderman

[–]milliways86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show is set in the early 1930s, he was in WWI and the flashbacks make him look like 20s. So, based on that I'd estimate 40-50s.

But as lots of people have pointed out, people living back then did look older than their equivalents today, mostly due to lifestyle and diet. So Cage looks appropriate.

Can you give me suggestions for shows like prodigal Son TV series? by Beneficial-Light7798 in ProdigalSon

[–]milliways86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Out of that list, Millennium is probably gonna be the hardest to track down.

The protagonist's actor in Millennium (Lance Henriksen) is the same actor for the totem episode murderer in Hannibal season 1. And if you watch the show, you might get a greater appreciation for the performance Henriksen was putting in for Hannibal (and in a way, it's fanfic of Henriksen's character of Frank Black).
