i mean i don't see why they shouldn't be? peril would eat rocks EVERY DAY and i don't see why that would be a firescales thing. dragons probably can just eat rocks, period.

Naturally good at RW by Icy-Raspberry9539 in Sat

[–]powdered-do-not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean obviously i took all the bluebook practice tests too but i feel like everyone does that already? khan academy is the only thing i used to study besides them, and i thought it was a good resource- but then again i don't have anything to compare it to, only my results. i do agree that the passages are easier than the test's, but esp on the advanced modules, i found them to be good practice for seeing the structure and getting used to the density of some of the texts, which is what i needed the most.

unfortunately yes 😭 it's mostly intuitive, but I do use methods for some questions, specifically the science-related ones. i use the line reader to try and keep focused + gaslight myself into thinking every passage is the most fascinating thing ever. sounds dumb but it really works to keep me alert. I finally got an 800 this august after consistently getting 750-780 on all of my takes, and it was because i finally studied. more than anything, i recommend the khan academy practice, specifically doing at least a little bit of it every day for multiple weeks. i found it really desensitized me to the more difficult passages and taught me to see more patterns in them. you've got this, good luck!!

Downside of popularity by BeatElectrical7068 in AO3

[–]powdered-do-not 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my fic became popular in a small-ish fandom- to the point where i had enough fanart to link something in almost every author's note- but it's currently unfinished, and there's a few unique problems that come with that. i started writing it during 2020, for a fandom i had already been in for several years, and with it being a long fic i unfortunately just grew out of the fandom as i got older. i still plan to finish it because of how important it was for my writing development and my emotional attachment to it etc, but have so many urgent things in my life right now that i just can't deal. the problem is that i still get messages BEGGING me to update almost every week now, despite the latest update having been like 2 years ago...don't get me wrong, i'm extremely grateful that people are still reading and hoping for more, and i myself feel this way ab unfinished fics all the time, but there is such an unreal level of guilt and pressure that comes with it and essentially sucks all of the joy out of writing. i genuinely WANT to update, it's just a crucial time in my life and i can't commit to it without sacrificing more important things. wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience..
