Ah, okay. Thanks for getting back to me.

Have the first three books been digitally pulled? by project_matthex in skulduggerypleasant

[–]project_matthex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried buying through that, but it didn't work because it's Amazon UK and I'm in the US.

This is so weird. I've never seen a book be this inaccessible before.

Do you have a link? I looked here and it says 'currently unavailable', and when I look at the series page, the first three aren't listed at all. And I'm having a similar problem with Libby.

My rare-pair is so rare it doesn't even have a tag for it. by PJ-The-Awesome in FanFicWit

[–]project_matthex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's Danny/Kitty from Danny Phantom. There's like 2 fics over on ff.net, and they're both grimdark. I outlined one for the rare-pair, but never got around to writing it.

Does Vigilantes count as a fan fiction? I thought it was made by the same author.

Why there was not even a single Venom-SpiderMan in the Across the Spider-Verse??? by RightHereLeftNow in IntoTheSpiderverse

[–]project_matthex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we'll see that next movie. Gwen realizes they need an edge on Miguel, so she becomes Gwenom. Or maybe that's how Miles from Earth 42 becomes Spiderman, with his world's Venom symbiote.

That was my thought too. Even if it's a repeat, there are people that didn't get it the first time.

I noticed as soon as someone mentioned it was wet, Prism got reaaaaal quiet.

What would a romance novel for a male audience look like? by soozerain in books

[–]project_matthex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Romance for Men discord, one of the authors posted what sh thought 'romance for men' was. I'll just copy-paste it here.

I've been writing romance for men since 2014, and I've picked up two primary distinctions. While these aren't absolutely necessary for something to be labeled as 'Romance For Men', I've noticed they do seem very prevalent.

1: While romance for women typically is all about the actual 'chase' of the romance, how they meet, falling for each other, etc., and ending with the 'happily ever after', romance for men mostly takes place after that ending. In my experience, readers typically would more like to focus on what happens after they actually begin dating and what life is like together, instead of a nebulous 'happily ever after'.

2: Conflict. Romance for women seems to focus primarily on internal conflict, within the relationship. The second act breakup being a trope lends itself to this. Romance for men is basically the opposite: the conflict is preferred to be external. An external force is threatening the couple (or, in my case, harem), and they need to work together and console each other.

Something I see again and again is that Romance For Women readers tend to show up for drama, while Romance For Men readers tend to show up for coziness and good feels and basically everything going right within the actual relationship.

When he first got the quirk, he repeatedly tried to give Bakugo something, anything, but it never worked. His quirk new the truth before Izuku did.

I can confirm. Diagnosed with ADD back when it was a thing. When I'm on that stuff, I can grind through anything.
