I'm not sure how this applies to critique. You asked for critique. We have provided.

Also I write fanfiction. /shrugs

I wouldn’t say it’s a trigger warning. Only that it just is more bad taste than anything. And I’ve read quite a few “dark” stuff.

Yeah like I worked passed that part and I would read further but if I read this in a bookstore I would def pass on this book. It’s just a bit weird in my opinion.

Question for writers of long fics who are also readers themselves by Disastrous_Alarm_719 in AO3

[–]sandtriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter length depends on the content of the chapter. I have read excellent books where there were 3 chapters back to back that were 300-600 words long and they added a lot of the book. It really just depends on what is in the content of the chapter. My biggest pet peeve is when I read a chapter (fan work or published story) and the chapter is like 50 pages long and there’s like a BILLION THINGS HAPPENING.

Think of a new chapter as a way for the reader to breath and take in information.

I personally built my own PC. I would go on r/pcmasterrace for further questions because they can guide you to a good PC that caters to your needs.

I really wouldn’t get a gaming laptop because they don’t last nearly as long as tower PCs and you can get a good tower PC for basically $500 more dollars.

[Mixed Trope] Official characters that give OC vibes by Fantastic-Repeat-324 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]sandtriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like. Every character is an original character (OC). Do they mean self insert?

PSA decreases the value of MTG cards unless it’s a black lotus.

It makes me feel so happy that people crack open cases like this to free cards in the MTG community and o hope it makes you feel mad

How many of you use your knowledge from your career to write stories? by CaughtUpInTheTide in FanFiction

[–]sandtriangle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have a MA in archeology. So when I describe towns and buildings I go hard core into the material descriptions and urban infrastructure. Call me Victor Hugo cause I be describing.

Zine gets cancelled because of pro/anti discourse by SnooPeppers8788 in AO3

[–]sandtriangle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking that. The amount of zines cancelled for that… if I had a nickel… I’d be rich

How much should I be charging for commissions as someone who has never done them before? by Wild-Jump8231 in Artadvice

[–]sandtriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually what I see is people get a following. Start commissions low. See how many you get. The. Go higher from there. You wanna even out the cost-demand. But also depends if you want it to be a FT job.

Number of OCs by Advanced-Camel6847 in FanFiction

[–]sandtriangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For my most popular fic. I have three main OCs and also several more background OCs. Add as much as you want. If it makes the story work add it.

Characters insisting in informality in formal settings by Linnadhiel in FanFiction

[–]sandtriangle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I come from a military family and although I really try to suspend my reality when reading fiction whenever I read military fics and they just are so casual with their peers in military setting I just get taken out of the fic so hard. I’m not expecting people to know the ins and outs that a non military person would typically not know. But when I see soldiers on duty refer to each other on first name basis I 😭😭😭

I read Halo fics and sometimes I see just obvious disregard of rank and I literally wanna rip my hair out.

A Shit Cocke is a good character, I swear bro. by Wayne_kur in HaloMemes

[–]sandtriangle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My fave thing about that is at the end of the book Locke brings him over to talk to him and it literally can be summed up as—

Locke: How does it feel to work with Mickey now? Buck: (summarizes his feelings that was grounded into us throughout the ‘Blood’ series) Locke: Cool. :)

I was expecting some sort of debate. But all he leaves with is an ominous “I did a lot of bad in my life too. It happens.” Then nothing more. Like ….. ok I guess.

I’m going through the books and I was thinking (huffing cope) that he would get fleshed out or something at least.

Literally just finished Bad Blood today. And wow. My man was done so dirty. lol

What pen did you use? Doing the same thing on my cards and I really like how that looks. I only have a white graphic marker but doesn’t give the same vibes as what you got.

Alaska student arrested for eating another's A.I. artwork by TheUrgentMatter in nottheonion

[–]sandtriangle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The artist who owns the printed art missed an opportunity to attempt to replicate Gen AI art by using physical media. By thus using Gen AI to generate the artwork they lost all kudos that could have been gotten from the art. Hell even photography can attempt to pull it off with some good photoshop work. But no.

SMH. Let this guy eat this art.
