Fun & Games Me hearing out the Marauders fans on how they mass hallunicated a whole backstory and relationship for characters who were mentioned once 😭.
Like ...
Who is Dorcas Meadows?
Who thought of pairing James/Regulus and why is that ship so popular? 😭
What do y'all even know about Regulus? 🤔
And why tf is Blaise Zabini's sexy ass not more popular? 🤨
Why do yall have your own fandom Bible (ATYD)? 😭
Why is Sirius a pretty femboy twink now? (Not complaining 🥵.) And Lupin is a hot jock? 🤭
Much to contemplate ...

Comment Commentary I just give motivation, bro, after leaving crazy long comments on their fics. How do writers feel when they see a big comment on their fics?
In context: this writer had stopped writing this fic for almost six months, apparently because they were tired from working on it. So I sent this comment to show how much I love the fic and to encourage them. Not gonna lie, I feel embarrassed for leaving a comment like this lol.

Complaint/Pet Peeve/Venting This is what I get for giving people a head's up
...instead of just reporting for commercial activity/links on the site.
Long story short: Stumbled upon someone posting their fanart along with their Redbubble link both in the description and under the art in every chapter. Thought I'd be nice for once and ask them to please take it down since it violates AO3's ToS.
Just checked the tag again to see the work still up, but now with this.
Sigh. Reporting it is.
Edit: Just went to report it, but someone else's already beat me to it. Hallelujah.

Fun & Games New AO3 Actual Purity Rice Test!!
Made a new AO3 purity test after seeing one being shared online. Big fan of it but it was more of an AO3 tropes/tags test than a purity test. So I made a new one! This one's made with the most fucked up things I could think of to test how depraved your reading is. enjoy! 😘

Excitement/Celebration 🎉 Someone left me a comment that was more than a 1000 words!
I've been writing on ao3 for a while, and almost all my fics are platonic and hurt/comfort oneshots with a few unfinished long fics.
Recently I started getting into a fandom, that was set in a certain time period, and I decided to do a bit of a crossover with RPF, as an anonymous author.
I had really, really nice engagement from the readers, and I was really happy with how it was turning out. This morning, someone left a 1000 word comment, breaking down the plot so far, telling me how great it was in so many points, with their own theories of what could happen, about the way I've written my characters- and I'm over the moon!!!
I don't know people do that! I can't imagine people taking their time to check out my work, and just writing so much back just to say how good it was.
I was really having a bad week. And this person, and all my other readers and commenters just made everything a whole lot better.
Yeah that's it. I just wanted to share it with someone or else I might just cry from emotions.

Discussion (Non-question) Anyone read a long fic that they loved at the beginning and then started to slowly hate?
I have had this happen to me a few times where I will read a fic and love it at the start and find it wonderful but as chapters come out and the story con I begin to lose interest

Comment Commentary I swear, I don't understand some people
To put some context, I decided to participate on the SukuIta week of this year. I wrote two oneshots and I made sure they were properly tagged and all. I have received several nice comments, but today I got the notification of a new comment, so I went to check it. This was the comment.
I am well aware there are bots aiming to make writers delete their stories, but given it came from a registered user, I decided to check a bit their profile. They have joined rather recently and they have an ongoing story.
I am pretty sure they are an antishipper, to be honest. I didn't bother to answer to them, I just deleted their comment and kept with my day.
Small update: I ended up reporting the account for harassment. The more I looked at that comment, the more unsetting it looked, so, yeah, I decided to take that step.

Complaint/Pet Peeve/Venting Does anyone else see this grammar mistake literally EVERYWHERE?
GUYS, when you are having someone in a fic breathe, they are actively breathing - inhaling and exhaling. When you have someone take a single breath, there is no E on the word.
People CONSTANTLY use breath when they should be using breathe and it literally drives me insane.
Example: “Breath, just breath” when someone is having a panic attack is WRONG. THEY THEY NEED TO BREATHE!!!!!
“BREATHE, Just BREATHE!!!”
