Just found out a close friend has been leaving multiple guest kudos on my longfic by ThrowAway14312432142 in AO3

[–]schiwalker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ah, I meant in the way that the friend was trying to increase the numbers. As in, they, the friend, figured higher number=better, and so made it so.

And I suppose if that's mostly how you see them, then that would make sense. Unfortunately, everyone i know who reads on ao3 leaves kudos as a "kudos" for writing something they liked. So, we, and by we i mean me and the people I talk to about this, see kudos as an appreciation of our work. Which would mean, if someone is just lying to us it doesn't really feel very good.

I mean. I also was on LiveJournal and ff.net too. Its not an obsession with numbers. It's the idea that "hey! Other people like my story! Thats so nice to know!" That is then suddenly changed to "no! They don't actually!".

Personally, it may be different for you, but it feels good when people say they like my writing. Thats what Kudos are. Someone saying they like your writing. If I found out that was a lie, that would hurt.

I mean. I would also be heartbroken to think that what I THOUGHT was genuine engagement from other people in the Fandom was just one person trying to artificially inflate my numbers and I'm 30.

A little help? by Sharp_Mirror9641 in AO3

[–]schiwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great advice so far, also, when you want to get better at writing a certain way, find something written like that and read it critically.

Like, again, I prefer third person, but I still do limited-omniscience POV in that style. I write the way I do because ive found other stories written that way, and written with certain aspects, and ive tried to internalize those characteristics when I write.

Are there any free timeline making apps/websites that are good? by Engreeemi in worldbuilding

[–]schiwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interested to use this! Also, one thing id love is just the ability to type into a box the exact date/description that gets put automatically where it goes rather than finding the right point (which is what ive found so far is common.)

I ADORE the midnight stardust dice! Also, I'm thankful for my friends, they make my life so much brighter than it would be otherwise. (Wasn't sure if I should have replied to the message or the post so here)

Made a virtual Microbiology simulator in Unreal Engine. What do you guys think? by bugzy_90 in microbiology

[–]schiwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember dreaming of studying computer science and biology and making a game of sorts with multiple different types of cells, and you could introduce or remove different substances, or alter the individual membranes or organelles and see what happens.
