    I'm delighted by how pornographic most of the mall could become in an a/b/o-verse.

    Lush. Bath and Bodyworks. Yankee Candle. Any perfume store. Fucking Spencers. So much of the mall has very distinct smells and almost any of those could become the Unofficial Fuck Shoppe in exactly the wrong circumstances.

    I might actually enjoy an a/b/o fic if it involved no romance and was instead all about kinky perfume marketing and Starbucks accidentally making all its customers horny with its new macchiato syrup

    It feels like in every fandom theres one ship where most of the time the rest of the cast is just ignored and I hate it.

    “Chapter 2: I’ve updated this as a separate work!”

    This is what the series option is for

    @aetherGeologist ...I'm confused, how does that work?

    Do you mean they wrote a separate (non continuation) piece and included it in the original? Or something else?

    The work had two chapters. The second chapter was that sentence. They’d uploaded the actual second chapter as an entirely separate work.

    Not even my gripe or that of anyone I know, but I had to share the source of the current FFA post title (from a thread "Fandoms you're really fed up of seeing in crossovers"):

    That and Harry Potter. Sometimes I wish I could go to the first kudosed page of any fandom that isn't also a juggernaut and not find Harry Potter already there, waiting for me. Please, Mr. Potter, go back to Hogwarts. I don't know who told you to come to Ouran Academy but this is not the place for you. Please leave Mori alone and go home, Ron and Hermione miss you very much

    You manage to escape Sterek and think to breathe a sigh of relief... And then you see it. Coming closer. It's hunting you down and you can't escape. It's SUPERNATURAL FIC AND RPF and you will never fucking run fast enough to get away.

    Getting to the bottom of a chapter only to discover the author's note is a bizarre multi-paragraph screed against abortion :psyduck:

    You’re filtering your search but you’re all turned around
    You’re adding exclusions now and you can see
    There’s bands in the tags
    My god, there’s bands everywhere

    and you can't even filter them all out because there are SO MANY of them and there isn't a bandom megatag to exclude

    I’ve actually read a bit of Sterek and even a few bandfics even though I don’t have the faintest idea who any of these people are, nor do I personally care for werewolves (Sterek’s a Teen Wolf thing isn’t it? I know I’ve read it, I just don’t remember which it was for sure) or RPF.

    But it was there. It was always there. And a lot of people apparently liked it so it’s likely to have something to recommend it beyond just involving a popular fandom.

    Oh same. Never watched Supernatural, never watched Teen Wolf, have consumed many a fic of both just because aaaauuugh it's all there is. At this point, I don't think I can watch either show, because I will found out just how OOC these fics are and I have no desire to discover that.
