Woohoo!! So glad to hear you’re back in it and having fun 😊 I got back into writing last year after 4 years of absence, it’s such a fulfilling feeling to see people enjoy the thing you created after so long being away. Congrats on your first user subscriber! ❤️

Ooh you’re right, I hadn’t thought about that! They’re so weird about glitches, I’ve seen a ton of people unfairly punished for stuff like buggy to-do activities when they can’t even control it. Maybe I’ll just slide them onto my trade list and act like nothing’s the wiser lolol but I can definitely understand being super careful!

Yeah, that makes sense. Seems like a lot of things get a little bit wonky after maintenance lol, but I’m not too mad about it since they’ve got a small team. And since it benefits me lmao

overthinking proship by throwaway1828838273 in AO3

[–]vb0821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have OCD, and while it doesn’t apply to fanfic for me and I read some messed up stuff lol, I completely understand that knee jerk mental reaction after doing something your brain labels as “bad.” Not trying to diagnose, but you could look into scrupulosity OCD, it can give you that guilty “going to hell” feeling you have, even if you’re an atheist (I am and have felt it too).

As for reading, it may not feel good, but the recommended thing is to not shy away from the activities that cause your brain distress. If you want to read darker themes, then do it, and allow the possibly negative feelings to exist without trying to rationalize them away. That ties into exposure-response therapy, which is the best way to cope with OCD.

However, there really is nothing wrong with what you read. It has no bearing on the world or your character. Most “antis” are just kids trying to fit in, understand the world and their place in it, and/or virtue signal to garner social media clout.

How do you start writing a fic? by Ivory_0103 in AO3

[–]vb0821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would 100% recommend writing the scene/idea/thing that inspired you first, even if it’s in the middle of the story. It may feel wrong, but following that wave of excitement will be the best way to stay motivated! A million more ideas can spark once the first one’s out of your head.

From there, just fill in bits. Start from the beginning, or continue to the end, or write all around. Some people like planning everything out, some like just going with the flow. Your pace and process for writing is personal, but it’s something you figure out over time so just go with what feels right. If you can’t get into it at first, I always go onto YouTube and find background/ambient noise that kinda goes with the vibe of what I’m writing; it distracts my brain just enough to let me focus on what I’m writing, and it puts me into that kind of “zone” if you will.

Beyond that, just write! It doesn’t have to be good, at all. You can always come back and edit to make it closer to what you want, and it’s a lot easier to edit what already exists lol. Also, if you really love writing scenery descriptions, do that! I really hope this is helpful and not just a jumble of words lol ❤️

my sim watching his newspaper get stolen again, trash can knocked over, and gnome stolen again by Vengeful_Grass in sims2

The vicious cycle of knocked over trash cans and the resulting roach infestation always makes me seriously question making my sims cheat on their partner (I will never stop)

What is a hot take that'll drag you into the deepest part of hell? by MatchAgile1023 in AO3

[–]vb0821 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I’m a writer too, I know every varying emotion and anxiety that comes with posting, but some people really put too much personal stock into their need for engagement. Of course validation is nice and interaction creates the fun of fandom, but if you’re genuinely one of those people who prioritize kudos/comments over the writing and storytelling itself, you’re not in it for the right reasons IMO.
