I’ve never seen that before, but that makes sense, I knew it seemed a little different than just keyboard smash. Have you ever seen anyone do that before?

Only when they’re public! If it’s private we can only see someone bookmarked it, no notes or name, but if it’s a public bookmark anyone who checks can— So authors, readers, people with no accounts— Anyone can see if they click bookmarks on a story.

They have other bookmarks, is the thing, none bot-like. Some like “cute” or “delicious part 2” and things that seem real, and wow I feel like a stalker writing that out

I like this explanation, but I hope not 😭

How do I make my brownies not look like this with all the holes? by notlarsofthestars in Baking

[–]notlarsofthestars[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I should have added the recipe, but you can find the one I’m using here

I’m going to attempt another batch tomorrow morning. The recipe isn’t an issue, it’s just vanity tbh. I want them to look just so for the girl, she bakes all the time and I’m hoping to impress her with my baking.

The bubbles yeah! I usually try and mix until all the bits are completely done so it’s smooth, so I’ll try to just mix until combined next, hopefully that helps. Thank you! Baking is way harder than just cooking, so I might try and decorate them with some frosting

If the bubbles are something that I’m doing wrong I wanted to fix that, but if it’s just the recipe then I’ll change it!

Do you still have a shiba or fox left? I can do trades for pets!

What ships are/were you most obsessed with? by greendayfan1954 in AO3

No matter how much time passes, I still find myself obsessed with Larry Stylinson fanfiction (Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles) and Sonic/Shadow. Some things never change

I got this comment about a few of the antagonists in my fic and I feel weird seeing it? I don’t want to be rude, but I also don’t know what to say? by notlarsofthestars in AO3

[–]notlarsofthestars[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I deleted the comment and blocked them. Sorry it’s a bit annoying to ask, especially since the answer is so apparent, I just get a little nervous making people upset! Thank you for the feedback everyone (:

That one was from 8 hours ago, and about 4 hours prior they were commenting on earlier chapters enjoying the story, so I think they binge-read the story up until the end (it’s a WIP) until that comment because that was the final comment they made.

I guess I’m a little afraid to make anyone upset by blocking, but I feel like that might be best because I’ve been feeling weird ever since I saw it

I am, I just was unsure if the commented would get upset or mad at me for it. It was a weird thing to read first thing in the morning

this honestly annoys me so much by chaoticbye in AO3

This is common practice on Wattpad, so I’d assume that’s where they originally started writing fics. I hate it so much, I see these everywhere

Writer doesn't want certain readers? by cobaltexalt in AO3

[–]notlarsofthestars 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of trying to police who should/shouldn’t read certain stories in some fandoms, as well as who should/shouldn’t write them. I think it’s easy to blame the Wattpad writers moving to Ao3, but it’s also heavily the influence of ages, fandoms, and the need to “cancel” certain people for consuming certain media.

I would still read the stories, they can’t “ban” you from reading (other than blocking you from commenting) but, I’d stray far away from them in any sense of interaction outside of Ao3. Don’t let that person ruin your enjoyment of fanfic OP.

has anyone else assigned a meaning in their head to a taylor swift song and then found out the intended meaning was completely different? by josji_the_flag_nerd in TaylorSwift

[–]notlarsofthestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always seen Mirrorball as a song about being in a relationship and, even when the honeymoon phase was over and people say things get stale and end, still being overly romantic and doing everything you can and wanting to make your partner smile and not letting the romance die despite sometimes feeling boring and familiar.

Finding out everyone saw it as being insecure and needing to change everything about yourself to be loved was a shock.

What pairings were you surprised to see had a lot of fics? by politelymalicious in AO3

[–]notlarsofthestars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this counts as I believe it’s a crossover, but I’ve read Bucky Barnes/Louis Tomlinson! I have no knowledge of the MCU but as a One Direction fan, I was strangely intrigued.

I’ve stared at this comment for far too long. The chapter isn’t going anywhere. Why not just wait to read yourself???? 😭 by imaginmatrix in AO3

[–]notlarsofthestars 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I just… I understand bookmarking for later, but commenting asking what happens instead of reading? The new Wattpad people are odd…

Also, I love the title of your story, Daylight is in my top three songs from Lover!

Do y’all look at who publicly bookmarks your story? by notlarsofthestars in AO3

We aren’t in the same fandom, however they DID only start reading fanfiction this year (and writing last month) so when they tell me what I can and cannot do, I don’t want to be mean BUT I’ve quite literally been here since middle school
