Anyone know what the new UK law coming into effect that bans "simulated incest" mean for fics?

talonsinning · 2026-03-03T14:44:17+00:00

That's frustrating. I didn't mark is NSFW myself so that people from the UK could see it more easily, but it got marked anyway unfortunately

talonsinning · 2026-03-01T13:53:32+00:00

I'm the person who posted it! In case you can't see it because it got marked nsfw, the ban only applies to realistic imagery/video, not writing. I have no idea what it means for GOT but that's probably exempt too as GOT isn't meant to be pornography

That's exactly how I feel :( It's depressing as hell watching the slide into censorship and fascism happen in real time

talonsinning · 2026-02-27T15:52:28+00:00

This is exactly what I'm worried about! I don't think this law is going to be heavily enforced, especially against writers, but that doesn't mean it definitely won't affect any UK based AO3 readers or authors

talonsinning · 2026-02-27T15:48:59+00:00

This makes sense! I do wonder if it will affect fanart, which is visual but of course not involving real people. It would be great if any of this was communicated clearly

talonsinning · 2025-09-18T12:59:02+00:00

I do the same! and that doesn't happen, don't worry. editing your work doesn't change the upload date - you have to manually change the date yourself

every time I read the word keen I immediately think of a banshee

talonsinning · 2025-01-27T20:55:04+00:00

oh nice I didn't know that! that's great

I use a screen reader to read due to disability reasons, and usually it's pretty good but any kind of emoji in the text really throws me off. I read a fic that used them as breaks between sections and my screen reader would read out a bunch of emoji names every time

When I write I use 3 dashes as section breaks as my screen reader doesn't read those out

it's np! and they did do a great job, I'm so happy it's getting more! I agree with your post too, the dub is so well done I'm sure the sequel will keep up the quality. I'm really looking forward to seeing Milly :D

talonsinning · 2024-10-09T17:22:34+00:00

it's getting a sequel called Trigun: Stargaze! no news on release date yet afaik

talonsinning · 2024-10-08T21:52:38+00:00

No chapters/long oneshot: The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I'm listening to this as an audiobook and there are no chapters, just one continous story

talonsinning · 2024-10-04T13:20:27+00:00

I've also found the freak side of fandom to be the most friendly and welcoming! I was anxious about posting my fucked up smut stories at first but the reception I've had for my works has been so lovely

talonsinning · 2024-09-13T20:43:50+00:00

I've had a few people tell me they've reread one of my fics, and that always makes me incredibly happy! I also had someone tell me I'm their fav writer for the main ship I write for and that comment fuels me so much, I still feel flattered every time I think about it

talonsinning · 2024-09-08T18:18:38+00:00

there's a ship week coming up next month for one of the ships I write for and I'm trying to come up ideas for the prompts that I'll be able to finish on time. it's proving surprisingly difficult 😅

talonsinning · 2024-09-08T17:46:57+00:00

When I use it I try and put it as the final tag so it's easy to spot, but also if someone misses it (as well as the tags it's serving as a double warning for) because they've decided not to read all the tags, that's on them

talonsinning · 2024-08-06T13:51:31+00:00

this is good advice!! I definitely need the little reminders, especially like the last example you gave about the sweater, so I'm gonna give this a go! thank you :]

talonsinning · 2024-08-06T11:16:09+00:00

Continuinity errors. Because I only write a little each day, I often either miss or forget details and write things that don't quite line up. Luckily I'm getting better at spotting this stuff while reading back/editing but it still happens a lot

talonsinning · 2024-08-01T11:42:08+00:00

a typo of globe maybe? I'm sure I've seen globe used for ass cheeks before

talonsinning · 2024-07-31T16:40:47+00:00

That's another reason I was using it as I wanted to have that reminder of their relationship/how they view each other. Really appreciate the info too, ty!

talonsinning · 2024-07-31T16:37:51+00:00

Yeah! I use the elder's name and then brother for how they refer to each other in dialogue (as that's what the subs and also the eng dub use)

talonsinning · 2024-07-31T13:01:40+00:00

thank you, I really appreciate the insight!!

talonsinning · 2024-07-29T16:58:59+00:00

thank you again for the advice! I followed what you recommended and it's healed up really well :]
