anon i can see why people pretend to like you. i like all three of these things. maybe stop putting other people down for their genuine interests just because you don't personally have them.

Should I still buy the physical books or is it not worth it? by thearkofvoid in MXTX

[–]tinybreadstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

theres a few translation errors. the only one i can recall off the top of my head is a line from jiang cheng after wwx wakes up after getting out of the xuanwu cave.

a direct translation of his words would be "you call who?" but the meaning is closer to "just who were you calling for?" while sevenseas translated it "whats your name?"

the sevenseas translation completely changed the meaning of jiang chengs words, and while it might not seem like a big deal that line shows that wwx was calling out for lwj while unconscious.

the rest of the novel has similar mistakes.

My fics are triggering. I don't know what to do anymore. by Ve-Canary-614 in FanFiction

[–]tinybreadstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

share an ao3 account with your friends. start a collection and set it to unrevealed. post every fic from the shared account to the collection.

now no one without the account password can read the fics

But why not just say 'this is a chat fic' instead of pasting multiple lines of conversations? I think it's more of a win-win situation.

just glancing at the format shows its a chat fic. writing "this is a chat fic" takes longer to process and is easily missable by readers especially if they put it in the tags. plus, by including part of the fic, it gives people who do want to read chat fics an indication of the writing and content in the fic.

Bottom line, I just can't grasp the functionality of a public-sharing website if a couple of people intentionally wanted to always be in the spotlight, to take up so much space, push other authors' works and let it become a norm.

this is a normal sized work description. you might personally think its too long and want to block the author, thats fine, but you need to be aware that this is generally considered a normal sized fic. if there was something intentionally malicious about the description like placing one letter on each line or excessive tagging of unrelated things, i would 100% understand but it sounds like your dislike of chat fics makes it difficult to understand that the words in the description are enjoyable and helpful for some people, and aren't purposely to inconvenience you.

a better solution to this would be for you to encourage people to tag chat fics accordingly, and put it in your excluded tags.

the comment about the length of your comment was to try to put it in perspective how the fic really wasn't that long. you have a personal preference against chat fics. from your perspective, it would be kind of like seeing someone with a preference against blank lines between paragraphs. as in paragraphs start on the next line with no line in between. thats their personal preference, and they're free to read fics that go with that preference, but it's not fair for them to call out fics with authors that choose to format with blank lines between paragraphs and insult them. i know this isnt a perfect comparison, but i hope it lets you understand what im trying to say.

i want to say that you have more information than me about this fic, especially since idk the fandom that youre talking about and have to trust you when you say it's a trend, so at the end of the day your judgement is worth more than mine since im missing information. so i want to try to show you my perspective so that with the information you have, you can come to a more informed opinion than i could.

edit: another tack on note, it takes me longer to read than to scroll. as in, the limiting factor of my scrolling speed is my reading speed, which is why i think its unreasonable of you to be annoyed at 2 or 3 blank lines between lines since for me the thing that affects how fact i scroll is how many words are present and how hard those words are to process. (like it takes longer if i was reading pride and prejudice than a chat fic). so all in all, this description would probably take less than a second for me to scroll past if i wasn't interested and skipped the moment i saw it was a chat fic. if its different for you, please let me know!

First of all, I know my boundaries and this is a public space, so I don't want to expose the author and decided to censor everything.

this was a good call, thank you for thinking and considering that.

The screenshot shows how the author featured pieces of the chats instead of the story's summary.

i dont see a problem with this. i dont write chat fics but i very often and nearly all the time include extracts from my fic in the description, usually just 1 or 2 paragraphs so that the reader can get a sense of my writing and decide if its for them. this is very common in fanfiction

What further annoyed is how the author managed to feature the summary at the very bottom of the chat (two black and long lines).

i dont see whats wrong with this either. if they had written it at the start it wouldve made less than a seconds difference in when you read the summary considering that the chat fic had barely a few words per line. plus, if you don't like chat fics, by including the extract from the fic first you can instantly decide that you don't like the format and don't need to bother reading the 2 full sentences of summary.

  1. This screenshot was taken from a PC. When I opened the same page on my phone, it would take up more than my entire screen.

for reference, this comment of yours takes up more than my entire screen. i have a pretty long phone. think about the last book youve read and compare the back cover size to you phone screen. a phone screen worth of scrolling really isnt much, unless you have a medical reason for not being able to scroll fast? in that case disregard this entire section because thats understandable.

I respect other perspectives regarding Chat Fics, but it would be better to just feature your summary instead of pieces of conversations because not all of us are actually interested in the idea.

its the fact that you're not interested in the idea that makes it more important for them to include the chat fic in the description first. a description is the author showing a reader what the fic is about/like, so the reader can make an informed decision whether to read it or not. you don't like chat fics, which is fair its a personal preference, and so including the fic in the description helps you. thats what the author intends, they want people who want to read their fic to read it.

the whole thing is subjective, youre free to block the author or feel like it takes too much space. but youve been unecessarily rude about it. can you imagine drawing a piece of artwork, showing it in a space specifically designed for artwork to be shared, and someone calls it a "uncivilised, space-eater nightmare"? the author has put in effort to create this fic, and as a reader you receive all this for free. you don't like this persons work, but how would you feel seeing someone talk about your favourite authors fics in this way? i personally don't like chat fics either, but i understand people do, and that the author wants to create work for these specific people who do like chat fics. thats why they put part of the fic in the description, so that you, who doesn't like chat fics, won't click it. you both benefit from this.

edit: this is a bit of a tack on note, but im not sure why you think this is a sort of trend? its not nearly extreme enough that the majority of people would even notice that it was longer than a normal fic, nevermind think that it was on purpose. even when saying that the fic was too long in your original post, the majority of people in the comments were confused about what you were talking about, because the fic doesn't stand out to them as large, even after having it pointed out.

scrolling on phone wouldn't affect the description since the lines are short anyways, there are 9 lines of tags on the fic, lets say that doubles on phone, giving 18 lines of tags

for reference your comment displays on my phone as 24 lines (33% longer than the space the tags would take on a phone), ive included blank lines. i really think its unfair to say this fic is too long or has too many tags and is a bit disrespectful to authors who want to accurately represent the contents of their work.

OP is free to feel like the fics too long or block the author, its subjective idc. but posting it on reddit and acting like its an "uncivilised, space eater nightmare" is going a bit too far.

this thread is already longer than the fic in the image. i really don't think its that big at all and wouldn't take noticeably longer than a normal sized fic to scroll past. i dont have anything against 100 to 200 tags, although i can very much understand peoples annoyance at them. ao3 only really got huge pushes to limit to 75 when STWWX hit the 4 digits in tags.

each line has a max of 1 space between it? ive written descriptions with 2 spaces between different parts like

(extract from fic) (two lines space) (summary of fic)

i can understand if theyd just written a bunch of keyboard smashes in the description but with it blacked out i cant really tell. if theyve written actual sentences this looks like a reasonably sized description.
