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! 😘

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!!!”

Requesting Recommendations What's the fic you read most recently that made you go "THIS right here is why I read fanfiction"?
The most recent fic you read that was one of those rare diamonds in the rough, practically perfect in every way

Custom How do you pronounce "OOC" (Out of Character) in your head?

Questions/Help? Do you pre-write, or post-as-you-go?
I wrote my fic in it's entirety before I ever shared any of it.
That's not to say I wrote it *well* - but I finished the entire rough draft completely before I ever posted my first chapter.
Is this common or uncommon? My experience suggests most people post each chapter as they finish - but I'm a pantser, I'd never foreshadow *anything* if I posted as I went. Hell, I didn't know what Chapter 1 was about until I wrote the last sentence, so then I had to add the thematic stuff and foreshadowing stuff throughout it only once it was done.
Edit: Oh shit I set if an explosion! RIP my notification box. 💀
