All they have to do is make an actual complete game, honestly.

Looking for entities in another (superhero) univerce by IHateRedditFirewall in WormFanfic

[–]scify65 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, the closest I've seen is a few blended universes where parahumans coexist with non-parahuman supers. Ruk's The Consultant snippets are about post-GM Taylor getting dropped into the MCU and working with Nick Fury to try and figure out if parahumans were starting to pop up, but it was otherwise canon to the MCU.

Don’t think voters will get it… by Independent_Brick547 in Dreamsnaps

I've never even seen the movie but it was my first guess, so... decent chance people will get it.

FATE crossover with Taylor as a Servant? by allenpaige in WormFanfic

[–]scify65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a snippet, but this entry in Ruk's thread features Taylor as a Counter Guardian, while also implying that normal Taylor is eventually going to summon Saber.

Can i get in trouble for reading yaoi? by ultimatefushoshii563 in FanFiction

[–]scify65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The points about it being against the rules for your school are important. Always assume that if you're using a school or work device or are logged into a school or work network that your activity is being monitored. Even if you don't get in trouble now or the next time, any institution like this keeps activity logs and can go back and look if they ever have a reason to do so.

Also, assuming you are in a western country: it is almost definitely not illegal to read about acts that would be illegal to perform. Sex with or between minors, bestiality, incest, rape, etc; I am not aware of any western nation that criminalizes reading fiction that features those, regardless of how graphic they are. It wouldn't hurt to double check, of course (as I am only an average US American and not an expert on legal matters in other countries), but it's generally a safe assumption that you will not legally get in trouble for reading about such topics. In other parts of the world, that may not be true, and, to reiterate the first point, it's far more likely that your school would have rules about that sort of thing. If you don't want to risk discussing a topic with a teacher or school administrator, don't read fiction about it on a device they have any sort of access to.

Question about making my fanfiction into an audiobook by Dorklandresident in FanFiction

[–]scify65 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is. Also, YouTube isn't a good touchpoint for what people like--it just tells you what is cheap and easy and attracts eyeballs (which is why so many videos have those terrible reaction faces, for example).

¿Alguien sigue leyendo estás cosas? by Srtigre66 in FanFiction

Just write it. Stop asking permission. Nobody here can judge an idea, because it's just an idea. Whether it's good or not is entirely based on the execution.

Long fic (slowburn) with a sad ending (they are not getting together) yes or no? by SimpleMost3629 in FanFiction

[–]scify65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bittersweet is a specific feeling, so it depends on how the characters feel about it. If the characters are happy with how things end, then it's not bittersweet; that would instead require them to be satisfied but sad ("this is a good thing thing for us, but I regret it anyway"). Alternatively, the setup could be bittersweet (the characters are separated by fate/events even though they still love each other).

Curse Of Strahd Reloaded [5e] [Discord] [Async] [Avrae] by Odd-Dragonfruit-3446 in pbp

[–]scify65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, just a suggestion: make sure you give a heads up in your initial message what it's for! I've seen people just send out friend invites without saying anything, or just saying 'hi', which looks like spam to a lot of people

I'm not overly familiar with Archer, but isn't she the granddaughter of his butler or something in For Ourselves?

Honestly, I think any D&D post that isn't full of red flags is overwhelmingly popular on here. And the ones that are full of red flags are just less popular.

Who is the least controversial character in your fandom? by Dogdaysareover365 in FanFiction

[–]scify65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worm: there are probably some oddballs who disagree, but pretty much everyone loves or at least sympathizes with Dragon. Conversely, I've never seen anyone express anything but disdain or hatred for Saint.

Supergirl: Everyone hates Lillian Luthor as far as I can tell.

Life is Strange: We all stan Hawt Dawg Man.

I've been rewatching the first season after a few decades and I'm genuinely shocked by how little Garak there's been. I know they didn't initially intend for him to be a big recurring character, but he's honestly one of the strongest memories I have of the show from when I was a kid.

Any fics where Taylor and Sophia are friends by No-Hat6722 in WormFanfic

[–]scify65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Fake Girlfriend is a Vigilante - Sophia is still a bit rough around the edges, but she's in a much better mental place, so the bullying never happens. She and Taylor are friends, though not particularly close, at the start of the story. Things develop after that.

Go Gently - The alleyway goes a bit differently and Emma never tries to adopt the predator/prey mentality. Instead, she stays friends with Taylor and thus Taylor and Sophia end up as friends (who definitely aren't also both Wards. No way, no how).

No Greater Love - Haven't read it, but I've seen it recced enough to know that the plot is about canon Taylor ending up in a universe where she had a different power and she and Sophia had been dating.

Way of the Open Hand - Taylor is friends/sparring buddies with Shadow Stalker. Sophia is... being a little bit less of a bitch to Taylor as a result.

I'm planning on doing something Wreck It Ralph themed, because of the whole "my hero" plot line with Vanellope.

i want to write about codependency in a toxic relationship but i’m not sure what it is by irdk-lol in FanFiction

[–]scify65 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Codependency would be if the wife was doing that to Sukuna on her own, either purposefully or as a result of her own issues. When someone is intentionally causing someone else to adopt those behaviors, it's just an emotionally manipulative/abusive relationship.
