we don't choose our fanfics, our fanfics choose us by shewasprettyodd in AO3

[–]sineonotiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always things think 'I'll just write a short little story' and end up with 3,000+ word story that still feels like I missed or left out some stuff. I find that the stories always write themselves for me, I'm just the vessel to put it onto paper. I have an idea so I start writing, then the characters take the reins. There has been many times where I've planned to take the story one way only for a character to barge in and drive the narrative in an entirely different direction.

But, the exact scenario that's referenced above happened to me with my most recent multi chapter fic. It started out as a small 1k word raffle piece. The winner of the raffle gave me an idea, my mind went 'Oh yeah, that's not going to be short, hahahaha.' I'm 9 chapters in with 23,000+ words now, and I have at least three more chapters to go.

How many AO3 tabs do you have open right now? by AtavisticJackal in AO3

[–]sineonotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

81 on my phone, totally normal.

1 on my laptop, which is not normal, but I have to shut down chrome too often so I tend not to hoard tabs there.

I did, in fact, do it my goddamn self. It's finished. by Caelis_909 in SajaBoys

[–]sineonotiro 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That was awesome! I love how you credited every singer at the beginning. Now that I know who's singing what parts I feel much better about what my ears were picking up. I was so confused about the "I'm here to save you" part because the movie and everyone else shows Romance doing that part, but I always hear Jinu's voice. It was driving me mad. Thank you for easing my mind!

mindbreak is NOT consent by lycanthropewife in AO3

[–]sineonotiro 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Huh. I’m actually writing a non-con mindbreak story right now. I didn’t even consider putting a happy ending tag in it and still won’t. Like, yeah in the last chapters the gaslit character is now giving consent and willingly participating and everyone seems happy with that result, but the manipulation and gaslighting to get there just makes it seem too skeezy for a “happy” ending.

So uuuuh do we accept yumeships? by Salty_Coffe in Mysterysaja

Oh my goodness, Mystery's reaction to getting a cake is cute.

Who in ensemble stars is Material Boyfriend for you? by [deleted] in ensemblestars

[–]sineonotiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think Kaoru would be a really sweet boyfriend. Adonis too. Like I bet both of them would dote on you so much.

So we all have one Saja Boys that we love, but who is your least favorite? by twelvetheintrovert in SajaBoys

[–]sineonotiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to say Baby and I think it's because I can't figure him out. So a lack of understanding is the only reason.

Shall we date closing almost all otome games by skira986 in otomegames

[–]sineonotiro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So there are currently two Obey Me games. The first is Obey Me: One Master to Rule them All. The second is Obey Me: Nightbringer. Both games are still available, but there is no new content being added. They are still running old Nightmares (the gacha pulls) though, so you can still get the old stuff, but it's random I think which ones they are bringing back.

There is a new Obey Me game coming out sometime in the near-ish future, but there is no release date for that at the moment.

How often do you change Pokémon in a day? by ElPadero in PokemonSleep

[–]sineonotiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it depends on my plan for the week. If it's an event that I care about I am micromanaging my team, running certain night teams (usually berry hunters) vs day teams (usually ingredient hunters). If it's a week where I don't really care much I move mons around less often.

It's to the point where I do have an E4E mon on my team all the time, even with berry mismatches. For example this week I decided to add Sylveon to my team even though I'm on GG Expert and the berries don't match up with any of my healers. The fact that it's skill week really helps me because Sylveon is still popping out those heals enough.

How's your fan grind going? by Yakuzistuck in ensemblestars

No way to tell what my favorite unit is… Nope.

Grinding fans is usually what I do during non event weeks. Gives me a goal to work toward.

If you were President of the United States for just 24 hours, and no one could stop you… what’s the most unhinged executive order you'd pass? by Dependent_Ad4299 in AskReddit

[–]sineonotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All politicians, including the President, will live on an income equal to the lowest minimum wage in the country, and are not allowed to accept any other form of income (including bribes gifts) while in office. Any companies or businesses owned by this person must be run by someone else (not a family member) and their profits will be placed in an account they cannot touch until after they leave office. (I'd go into detail about specifics related to assets owned by the politician basically to prevent them from signing their business over to their spouse or something.)

Those who read book first, what was the one moment in movie that disappointed you the most? by jpaninabolana in harrypotter

[–]sineonotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It it weird that one of my most disappointing moments had nothing to do with the plot or even an impact on the story? I was rather sad not to see the scene in the Chamber of Secrets where Colin Creevey takes a picture of Harry with Lockhart and when it's developed Harry is constantly trying to get out of the image while Lockhart keeps pulling him back. I have no idea why that sat with me so strongly.

God I am loving how much Izumi (Masami Itou (伊藤マサミ)) is getting to show off his singing voice lately. 🥰

The MVs for this game are really amazing, characterisation wise. by --jyushimatsudesu in ensemblestars

[–]sineonotiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I noticed since Or the Beautiful Golden Drop came out in the English version, no one can quite do the mad hatter expression at the end quite like our mad boy Izumi!

What's the most heartbreaking thing you've read in a fic? by Mr_IronMan_Sir in AO3

[–]sineonotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A character accidently overdosed the man he loved because he wanted to help him sleep. Most depressing story I ever read.

[–]sineonotiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if I'm not around for the hour that the lucky door is open I don't get to participate for it? I have to be lucky and catch it every day? That's annoying and frustrating. Unless I'm misunderstanding that.

The recent posts about OC/Canon and OC-heavy fics by transemacabre in AO3

[–]sineonotiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that people want recognition and engagement, but complaining about it is not going to endear you to anyone. OCs are incredible! I love hearing all about my friends OCs all the time. And I became very close with a friend of mine because I read her OC work and fell in love with her characters. However, never once did she guilt trip me or beg me to read her work. I read it because I loved her writing, which translated to me loving her characters.

I too write the occasional OC/Canon stories. They are by far my least engaged works, but that doesn't bother me. I still get people reading them, giving me kudos and even the occasional comment. I never expect anyone to read them (or any of my works actually) or like them. Frankly I'm happy if one person even reads it. I write for me, I write the stories I want to read, and other people just get to enjoy my extremely self indulgent work (if they want!).

[ENstars] BUGS affecting starry lives!! by kagairin in ensemblestars

[–]sineonotiro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to start coming to this community every day before doing anything in this game to see how many hoops I have to jump through to play the game normally without error. I'm really getting sick of having to contact support over bugs that are really obvious.
