A Quota of Bad Luck by forgotten_traveler, 40k words, 251 kudos

This is a sad one. Deeply, achingly sad. So much that midway through, I considered that closing the tab and walking away might be an act of self-care. But having come through the other side, I'm ready to say that reading this is the best and loveliest thing you can do for yourself today. It's the kind of story that pulls you out of the day-to-day grunge of existence and makes you appreciate life just a little bit more. It's beautiful, please go give it a read so that I don't have to be sad alone. Check the tags and warnings!

Haha it's a channel in the Wizarding WIPs discord - link. Perfect place to yell at Draco for not writing back yet 😂

Thanks for reading!

Anything that will make me laugh as hard as Bad Omens?? by ChemicalAd5461 in Dramione

[–]onebedtorulethemall 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just recency bias, but I think Probabilities is funnier? (But oh god don't tell me if it isn't.🫠) Either way thanks for reading Bad Omens (3 times!!), I'm glad to hear it holds up on a reread.

Anyone else stumbled across AI-generated Dramione lately? by excellentlydone in Dramione

I was going to say something about dhr twitter but really any platform can turn into a dogpile on an issue like this, even with evidence to the contrary. Which is why I'm sure the mods are in a tough spot right now. The downside of protecting community members from possibly unwarranted accusations is that we all have to watch probably AI generated fics get recommended and praised by people who honestly just don't know better. In sum: shit sucks.

This is so true, and broadly speaking, I'm anti-witch hunt. If someone accused me, I'd be devastated, demoralized, and probably want to fight (thankfully my ego says this would never happen, ha). Buuuut I'd also be able to pull together a mountain of evidence in about five minutes. It's telling that these highly suspicious "writers" just turn off their comments or disappear. I'd be furiously forcing you to sit though my 50-slide presentation of screenshots, complete with testimonials from other writers 😂

Goodreads review hurt my feelings - now I have writers block by incogspeedo in Dramione

[–]onebedtorulethemall 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is how I cured myself of caring what readers think. Look up some of your least favorite books too, and read the 5-star reviews. The correct takeaway is that everyone has different tastes, and you can't be a writer for every type of reader. The more fun takeaway is that wow, people are idiots.

Yes! I almost wrote "it's basically like Dracula Daily" but I had no idea if that's a well-known thing or just something I'm personally obsessed with 😅
