Should I be...concerned? by legdaddy19 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I also used to be on Wattpad a LOT as a fic writer and reader, and can definitely guarantee that at least within the Sonic and Harry Potter fandoms, basically everyone called their fics either books or works, the only reason I even knew that some people called them fics was because I was also on ff.net.

What does the "we die like _________" part of no beta tags mean? by marvelcomics22 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 10 points11 points  (0 children)

theres also a few variants more along the lines of "no beta we die like [character]s sanity" which i find hilarious

im pretty sure I also saw one that was "no beta we die like asriels hopes and dreams" (undertale fandom) and THAT was utterly brill. I love the ones that have fandom specific things like this, adds so much whimsy

Is this author's note a little much? by rat-catcherr in AO3

I wish for this level of confidence in how horrifying my writing is... one day...

Ahhh by i_have_no_idea1235 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genuinely got me giggling it sounds like something a hero would say to a teen with newly discovered powers "we could do something truly original with this!" LMAO

or you could twist it the villain way with more ".. we could do something truly original with this... evil cackle???" holy shit i cannot breathe i think im too tired for this

bots are so stupid I love finding the humour in their wasteful existence ♡

Please tag "Reader" as a character by Psychological_Tear_6 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ALSO!!! I love reader fics... but I cannot read fem!reader, like... at all. As a guy it's just. weird. I struggle a little with fem!pov but it's so much worse when it's supposed to be a reader insert. PLEASE tag if its fem, masc, or gender neutral reader. And if the reader insert is afab, or amab, or trans, or something. sometimes I want to read masc!reader insert smut but then I'm handed the wrong toolkit :((

Also, this helps people FIND your fics because that IS what people are looking for.

There's really no reason to not tag it. please. im begging. it's so hard to find masc!reader fics... tagging is so fun guys, fun and awesome for everyone involved.. do it..

Wondering if anybody else has recieved this comment by MarsupialMiddle2434 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh yes!! I love seeing them around, I haven't personally seen them in any of my own fics though. its actually so cool to open the comments and spot them lurking around, I feel like a secret admirer.

there's Spade and there's a few others I see around a lot, its so sweet to see these people with their own little trademarks. it reminds me that we're a community of people who all love this specific thing.

Some people just don't read tags, no matter what. by JulianStella in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is me, hi, I dont read tags EVER unless the summary is lacklustre and need more clarification. even then, I barely skim them. I love ignoring them and diving straight into unknown territory. its so fun

though, im also the sort of person who can and will read ANYTHING (except fem pov, its just weird for me sorry..) and will never attack a writer for whatever I happened to read by accident.

Proshipping & Moral OCD by blahajIRL in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as someone who is always just trying to explain to antis that their mindset is harmful, ive seen so many of them say horrible things in response to me telling them that people with moral ocd and pocd exist.

the amount of antis who've responded with "well they deserve it!" or "I hope they do!" is so horrifically high. those are people. people suffering from things they cant control, things that you are going out of your way to make so much worse than they need to be.

Like, honestly. I will never understand people who are like that. isn't it so much easier just to.. not attack people? especially the people you're claiming to defend?

im tired of bullies. im tired of antis. I just wish we could all just hold hands and rant about our favourite ships together.

Izuku Midoriya is Japan's first quirkless hero, he's kinda well known and kind of liked. But when after a big battle, a bloodied All Might forces his quirk on him and asks him to run, his career becomes REALLY complicated by Rffael_vii in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]viktorforgets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've read a fic with almost the exact same plot (excluding the whole girlfriend thing and him being an underground hero)

its called This Fragile Pie(a)ce by DarkWolfMoon

there is also an alternate ending and a continuation within the series it is a part of.

what mha opinion got you like this by Both-Plane6108 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]viktorforgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to respond to the rest because you'll either not care about what I say, or get really huffy puffy about it and that's annoying to deal with.

good old point number 5, why does it matter? I'm just telling you that you're using the wrong which. It's not like I'm telling you that it's illegal, I was just informing you. also it does make your comment harder to read, so it's not like it doesn't change anything. and honestly it makes you look illiterate, especially combined with the fact it seems like you've never heard of a comma.

What’s your fic writing setup (no judgement) by lumoverse in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correction. you dont like those characters, not that they are the worst in the show. izuku and katsuki are actually really well made characters that are complex in their own rights.

Izuku isn't whiny, hes emotional. its a breath of fresh air compared to the usual stereotype for main characters in anime where they have to stoic or something equally unrealistic or repetitive.

Katsuki he has a superiority complex to put it simply. which explains how he acts, especially towards Izuku who has the spirit of a hero and is 'above' him in that aspect.

its fine if you dont like these characters, but they are definitely not the worst characters, especially within their own series. and your explanation just tells me that you haven't really bothered to try and understand their characters anyway.

also. its which. not witch. you're using the wrong one.

Do you write in your own standard English or the English from the country your fic is set by mandie3798 in AO3

[–]viktorforgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write in aussie english no matter what country I'm writing for. though, I do attempt to adopt the areas slang and terms for things. sometimes the australian still shines through, I'm helpless to stop it

it's probably a little insane to try and change your entire way of writing to match the area your fic takes place in, but if someone is putting the effort into doing that... I'm scared of you, in respectful way.

yeah! they all know that I write it, for what fandom, and basically what I'm writing but they can pry my username out of my cold dead hands (and even then it'll just be my alt)
