    yep. but not the rarepair actually in the fic, despite the tasting (which i think meant teasing, in this case sans teasing undyne and alphys about their feelings for each other).

    valenstyne Went out for cigarettes, never came back

    Someone wrote that. Someone wrote that in their fic and then presumably said "Yes, this is good" and then they posted their fic on the internet in front of God and everybody and I just don't understand people.

    Psst @applechime, if you're still online, you should share the beautiful saga of the genderbent humanized canon space robot and their humanized oc space robot lover, office AU, part 168

    I don't know if ALL those elements came packaged together, but those elements are all very, very much in play and the odds are in my favor

    This person has over 500 separate fics on ao3, all in the same vein. If it's a joke, then they've committed like I've never seen a person commit in my entire life

    Honestly, at that point I'm kind of proud of them. Keep doing your thing, strange writer.

    It would just be nice if they weren't constantly all over the new fic feed.I feel like by this point, SOMEONE must have told them that chapters exist. Even if these aren't a linear plot, there are plenty of compilation documents lying around the site that... exist for pretty much exactly this reason :p even if it was split into blocks of fifty or twenty, it would be so much less EVERYWHERE

    is it possible to blacklist authors on ao3? hide their constant fics from your sight?

    spockandawe soft and woolen and writhing with curiosity

    It is! It just takes external scripts, and I am not at all naturally good at computers, so I haven't found a chance to baby step myself through the process yet

    ah! so it's possible but a big hassle, probably one bigger for the readers than it would be for the author to make a compilation document.

    applechime "well, you know, a very — a very crunchy person."

    GOD i am just going to copy-paste what i sent @spockandawe because i don't think i can articulate the ABSURDITY of this author's writing habits again

    god. okay. i am so annoyed. there's this INCREDIBLY PROLIFIC author on ao3 who basically writes 100% straight porn/romance. which is like yeah okay whatever, i have no interest but you do you.
    EXCEPT it's ALMOST ALWAYS genderbent!canon robot/male original robot or original female robot/original male robot which is. annoying and also weird but WHATEVER YOU DO YOU??? I GUESS???
    EXCEPT
    THEY ARE ALWAYS!!!! HUMANS!!!!
    so it's basically just!!! super het human porn or super ooc domestic ULTRA HET HUMAN FLUFF and it's just like WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOTHERING WITH TRANSFORMERS?????
    GOD and they write something new a few times a week and I hate them, I HAAAAAATE THEM
    okay im done that was all

    [narrator: but it was not all]

    they have written FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO TF FICS AND ITS ALMOST ALL OCs + HUMAN!!!!

    "Part 168 of Office AU"

    chapters are for other people, apparently!!!

    it's just TOO MUCH !!! that is enough!!! someone please tell them they are allowed to stop. rest. you don't have to do this anymore

    reading through even the summaries is Too Much....... like. I'm just?? why do you even have transformers OCs if you're only ever going to write about them as humans?????? WHAT'S THE POINT

    i have them blacklisted on the computer but whenever i browse ao3 on my phone i Suffer
