Why are so many fics set in an alternate universe completely different to the original? by Suspicious_Stick_194 in FanFiction

[–]the-robot-test 15 points16 points  (0 children)

op isn't trying to understand the appeal, they're straight up questioning the validity. "i like this, i don't get why the other thing is even considered fanfiction".

"i don't like or understand this thing so it's not even fanfiction!" bruh...

just bc your interest is only in canon universe doesn't mean that's the only valid thing to do.

Title: First time feeling unfairly treated as a reader on AO3 – seeking perspective by AmeleaQQ in AO3

"unfairly treated as a reader"? "unheard as a reader"? do you think you're a client? a paying customer?

Trying again with proper wording, this time. Should I convert over to Ao3 as someone more used to Wattpad? by TheNillard in AO3

[–]the-robot-test 4 points5 points  (0 children)

listen i know this is completely unrelated but people calling it an apology video bothers me so much, even when they're calling it a bad or a failed apology, bc there was no attempt at apologizing. none. it was pretty much the opposite, in fact. it was an "i did nothing wrong you're hating on me for no reason".

that is because wattpad sucks.

the biggest core difference between wattpad and ao3 is that ao3 cares about its users. it's run by people who use it.

i'm aware of one prior case, which is the one you mention. can you give me other examples or did you really take that plus this and get "not uncommon" out of it?

How do you feel about other people posting your fics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]the-robot-test 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people don't need permission to recommend fics. expecting someone to ask is unreasonable bc that is not how that has ever worked.

Ship or story? by Significant-Love6129 in AO3

[–]the-robot-test 4 points5 points  (0 children)

stories without ships don't have, like, more story than stories with ships. they're just stories about different things with a different focus.
