    Erica occasionally vaguely like a person

    I never ever click through the directory thing, I just search for whatever it is I wanna read and then click the tag for that (whether it's a content tag or warning or ship or fandom)

    2 steps (search > click appropriate tag), no scrolling necessary

    Some fics are just real bad at money. The one I just opened five minutes ago started with the main character casually mentioning that he'd saved up six hundred thousand human dollars in six years, and also he's twenty.

    He's also a prostitute for an institution called "Casual Sex", which is a pretty solid name, I guess.

    The theory of the person who told me about it was that the author wrote that he was charging $500, remembered this was set in Japan, and then changed "dollars" to "yen" without checking the exchange rate.

    Yep.

    The friend who found the fic pointed out to the author that they probably meant that to have a couple more zeroes on the end. They changed it to $500 instead.

    Other highlights included completely unprotected PIV sex. AU Neku is totally cool with getting pregnant and/or STDs, apparently.

    I recall there were also people familiar with TWEWY commenting that while this was clearly an authorial mistake, they could totally see Joshua charging five bucks for sex. :::PPP

    See I feel the opposite way- even if Josh was flat broke and desperate he’d charge at least $1000 on the principle that if you charge that much people will assume you’re worth it. Also he’s borderline suicidal and has nothing to lose so fuck it he’s not that invested in the outcome.

    If your Josh is not mired in a disassociative depression so profound he is completely unable to connect with humans or the concept of the worth of human life then you’re doing Josh wrong

    Yoshiya Kiryu is the single most infuriating being to exist, and I don't think it's possible to have sex with him without trying to strangle him halfway through. Or. Do... Do you charge more for that?

    Is he into that?
