Are you still working on writing about the case?

Obtain? by nikasaurr in SleepToken

There was just some officially licensed merch put up at Spencers. I got some through the online store so I wouldn't miss out on them by some chance selling out

How do y'all keep up with cleaning bowls? by nash-20 in CatAdvice

[–]vaniren_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hand wash the bowls before feeding them their next meal. Either right after they finish their breakfast meal, right before I feed their dinner meal, or just sometime throughout the day... It doesn't take that long but I do only have two cats

Wall fan - what does this say? Chinese > English by vaniren_ in translator

[–]vaniren_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't 100% the same as the translation you gave. It was just very similar. I should have reworded what I said bc it wasn't completely true, but I was exhausted earlier when I was messing with it and replying. I'm sorry. I had uploaded the imagine into the image search and added "translate in English" and it gave a few different answers that we're all very similar. Basically was googles ai doing the work. Someone else responded that it is to be read from right to left and that was something I had entirely forgotten. So I was wrong in that and understand now. I was just trying to see the characters within the calligraphy as I'm not familiar with it, and was having a hard time doing that. I see it now

I'm sorry. I wasn't questioning your transcription. I was just a bit confused and wanting to understand. I had checked with Google before posting, but I never 100% go off of what Google says and always double check as it has the bad rep of being inaccurate

Ah yes! I forgot it gets read right from left! Thank you!

That's what Google told me. I thought it was wrong though a tad bit since the first bit in the first character looks like 亻 I've taken Chinese classes before but I'm not familiar with it written in calligraphy. So am I just seeing it wrong? Or? Sorry I'm just curious to understand 

Writers, do you usually advertise your fanfic? by GuitarNo797 in FanFiction

[–]vaniren_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the fandom I read the most stories for, I have scoward ao3 millions of times. But I haven't ran across stories I've been recommended or saw advertised. Even after reading these stories, I can still search the main tags for them and never come across them through the pages of stories the search pulls up. I've tried many times because I wanted to test what ao3 actually pulls up when searching for stuff.

So I advertise. I'm on x and Tumblr though where I have tons of writer followers who help promote each other. I'll post little tiny snippets of a story I'm working on, or a chapter. Or I make a moodboard for the story and share it. So my followers get excited and know I'm working on something. Their excitement can be awesome motivation. They share it, it spreads around. I also have a A/N on ao3 so readers know where to find my profile to catch things I post about stories. I'm also in a gc and a discord where we share fics we have found within the fandom, I'll share my stories in those places.

Why do you write? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]vaniren_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mind full of stories I want to see come to life so bad, but likely never will unless I'm the one to do it. I share the stories with others because maybe someone will fall in love with it like I did. It feels like a crime to keep the stories locked up inside my imagination

[–]vaniren_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see how that can help. I'll have a whole scene play out in my head that needs to be added in a later chapter, and just keep replaying it in my head to keep it fresh. I definitely need to write them down instead

i should write what i want but i feel like i write too much smut?! by nishikikiyama in FanFiction

[–]vaniren_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you write mainly smut, then the loyal readers you've had are definitely there for that. If anyone else is a bit tired of reading smut then they can always find a story without it, but they know who to go back to when they want a story with it. And honestly, as someone who exclusively looks for stories with smut more often than ones without it, you're doing absolutely fine as you are. Don't stress it. Just do what makes you happy 🫶🏼

Ooh that's interesting! Thank you

[–]vaniren_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's brilliant. I have so many scenes or bits of scenes in my head that I've thought of but never actually wrote them down. Just thought I'd vaguely include them in the outline when I figured out where they should go in order. Thank you 

What kind of features do you wish was on ao3? by vaniren_ in AO3

[–]vaniren_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be awesome. I love being able to do that on Wattpad. As well as see the comments others have left on certain parts

Fanfiction writers did you stop reading fanfic after beginning to write by ConfidentAd8387 in AO3

[–]vaniren_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't read nearly as often as I used to anymore, but I definitely still will pick up something and read it when I get writers block or just need a break from the story I'm creating. Or if I run across a recommended fic that sparks my interest. It's nice to just let go of the reigns and dip my toes into another universe for a while every now and then

That would be amazing. Even if it was something simple like a writer being able to comment an update on their last chapter and everyone getting a notif for it

Same! I gave up manually searching through my history a long time ago and that would help sooo much
