@DefectivePigg it gets funnier when you go to that redditor's posting history and find out 90% of their posts are about committing traffic violations or crashing their partner's car and things like that
@ilyassoull The most important suggestion i have when it comes to pacing of prose is literally reading the text out loud. Makes it easy to find out how the sentence "feels" and if it really is too long/short.
fic writers, do you have any tips on how to write longer sentences? i feel like my transitions aren't smooth enough so contain lots of comas or ands. this results in my sentences being quite short.
@mydeermaiden it's like a deal with the devil, the devil saying "I will do this small thing for you (in a shitty way) and in exchange I will take part of your ability to do it yourself", and for some reason people take that deal?!
@feindxyz i agree. i'd at least somewhat understand someone using AI to help them organize their own thoughts (and i still don't agree with using AI for that), but to literally just copy paste AI text when asked for their OWN headcanons for their own fic and AU is so bewildering
so confused bc i read a few fics from someone and they're well written and clearly not AI, yet they answer their tumblr asks about said fics with obvious AI (even leaving in the bolded subheadings)... whyyy. what is the point
ok feeling motivated to write bc I want ao3 hate comments. I want ao3 criticism. I want ppl breaking my boundaries and reveal something abt my writing to me that I was unaware of and will think about in the future
@whimsfully i play it fast and loose with the kudos button, if i read even one chapter and like it, i'll kudos bc like WHY WOULDNT I IT COSTS ME NOTHING and the other person who put so much effort into their work is happy
I really don’t understand withholding kudos from a fic you liked? Kudos is one of the main ways you can support a fic author besides commenting or finding them on social media. I love comments on my works but kudos are a very quick way to say “hi I enjoyed this”.
question… do u guys upload fic on the same acc u read/kudos/comment from? or do u make a separate ao3…. i want to post this one shot i wrote but im embarrassed abt all the comments i make on fics fhshdhshshs
thanks to everyone helping me with coding...i feel so BAD at it 😭 it’s taking me so long i can’t even focus on writing my fic anymore…why did i think coding my first fic was a good idea uhhhhhgh
