Writing thread

So probably like... five years ago, I wrote a ton of online articles on Hubpages with the goal of being ~professional~. Within like a month, I had pumped out like 50 original articles. Usually about stupid stuff - my hobbies, travel, whatever. I put GoogleAds on them, waiting for the money to come in... and like four months later I had made approximately a dollar, haha. I haven't logged into that site in years, but as traffic sort of gathered a bit more, I would occasionally get the $50 minimum payout. Couple times a year. Then every few months. Now I just looked at my paypal and apparently I'm making a consistent extra $60 every month. Totally crazy that I'm still making money off of these silly articles.

And what's more shocking is that several independent people within the past few months have told me they "saw my article online". Those articles didn't even have my real name, just a username with a photo of 21-year-old me. Dude. I'm basically a pro writer now and mega famous, lmao. Living the dream and making the big bucks.

How's everyone else doing?

I just made a casual little comment about having trouble with stuff like... what do you call a French braid in a setting with no France? Do you still call them hamburgers when there's no Hamburg in this universe? On another forum, and someone (not the person I was talking to) gave a me a pretty condescending reply, along the lines of "use the real wold term because we're in the real world duh", and I'm just... no one fucking asked you? It was a rhetorical question in the first place? And I personally really dislike coming across anachronistic language like that, it throws me out pretty hard, so I'm just deciding whether to ignore them or tell them to get bent.
