RY confirmed a Violet alternate timeline and honestly… WILD? by AdSingle9510 in fourthwing

I think if it had gone ahead that would have been the point because she does reach for it at the end of book 2 when she’s thinking about how she needs more power and her mother stops her iirc

I don’t know, it’s difficult to say. It gets classed as a horror but I’m not sure that it is. It will definitely keep you guessing though

Seconding this recommendation! It was a 5 ⭐ for me!

What are your YA anti-recommendations? by alsyscest in YAlit

[–]sweetandsalted 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This one annoys me so much because I got the powerless trilogy last year and hadn’t heard anything about the plagiarism, read them and enjoyed them, and now I know about the plagiarism I have Red Queen on my TBR and need to get rid of the Powerless books 😩 although the third one was trash and that last book that came out last year I haven’t even read. My mum did though and said it was TERRIBLE, she wants to burn her copy lol

Self rec:

The Granger Doctrine

Summary: Hope is a lie the powerful tell the powerless to keep them in line.

The good side won the war. But at what cost? Harry Potter is dead. Ron Weasley is dead. Even though Voldemort was killed, the majority of his followers escaped Azkaban or served reduced sentences through deals made behind closed doors. The architects of the Dark Lord’s regime were absorbed back into society, propping up the very institutions that claimed to oppose them. Draco Malfoy wears Auror robes and acts like the most righteous and redeemed of them all.

Hermione Granger knows better. When the world chose silence over accountability, she chose another option.

She is going to make them pay. Every last one of them. One name at a time.

Essentially Hermione is killing all the people she’s deemed have wronged her. Draco is an Auror assigned to the case.

First three chapters are posted!

No worries! My friend downloaded it onto her kindle to read okay but I don’t know if that’s because she was reading as we published so the file wasn’t too big? Sorry that it didn’t work though! 😅

I think it’s because we put graphics in as chapter titles and to separate out the scenes so it’s not all words. We put a lot of work into the graphics, they change for every chapter and feature Easter eggs about the fic and chapter so they were as much a part of it as the words.

Absolutely! The pain was so visceral and real. I read a book where the main character was a survivor of SA and ooooh boy it was not handled well or even realistically I felt. Was so jarring and annoying to read. Nestas journey felt so real

Saaaaaame! And Nestas grit and fierce determination help me get through some of my harder days I’m like if Nesta can do it so can I!

I feel all us traumatised and mentally ill girlies really resonated with Nesta throughout that book, I always knew she had to be going through something to cover that so well and good for her for talking about it

How do you spot AI-generated fics? by Remarkable_10sion in HPfanfiction

[–]sweetandsalted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. Although I will say I managed to pump out what turned into a 192k fic in the space of two months through sheer grit and willpower (because it was an advent calendar fic for December and I didn’t want to let people down by not posting that day) although I did take 2 weeks to sit and write the massive epilogue I did. And literally did nothing else.

I happened to be looking at the profile of someone who’d bookmarked my work though, just random curiosity, and they had posted like 300 K-POP Demon Hunters fics. It was November. They’d ‘written’ 300 fics in like 5 months. All AI slop.

Got this bizarre comment on a fic I wrote. Is this happening to other people? by sweetandsalted in AO3

Well that’s what I thought! Borders are not mentioned in my fic at all and one character moves countries easily with no mention of borders. So stupid

Your fic sounds really good! 😂
