So I have found myself back into fan fiction, the last time was when Torchwood aired so it's been quite a long time. Now I'm firmly in Untamed/Modao Zushi and I have a few questions.

Is there an ELI5 for Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics? Where did it start from?

For the explicit stories, there is thigh fucking which ok I get, but it's a new concept for me. When did that start appearing?

I'm thinking of buying a rug. (We have hardwood floors and in the winter it's bloody cold.)

I'm trying to shop in a better way, and I found a rug made from recycled cotton from a retailer that seem to be making concerted effort to push in a more sustainable direction. Only problem is it's white and we have a dog. How much of a mistake is it to buy this??

Writing question

[(Anonymous)]

How can you improve your dialogue writing skills? I thought about going to a coffee shop or something and writing down people's conversations but that seems vaguely creepy?

Thank you

Thanks everyone who chimed in on my engagement party question yesterday. I find the whole thread incredibly helpful.

Also I have spent the last hour looking at wedding venues in America and now really want to plan at least four or five weddings XD XD XD

One of the neglected areas of modern media is, in my opinion, well-written heterosexual romance. Obviously controversial because, hey, there's tonnes of hetero romance out there. It's just most of it is pasted on hetero romance usually between two actors who have absolutely zero chemistry.

In my idealised world, media would spend less time throwing uninteresting hetero characters into bed together just because it's expected, and instead focus on good character and plot writing in general - with an equal mix of romantic and aromantic relationships between all genders and non-binary.

Monsters as pets is probably my absolute favorite fantasy trope. Dragons, yes. Wolves, sure. Just anything big and scary but is somehow friendly and the perfect pet at least to this one person. I don't want to see it in the real world, but in a fantasy I want it every time.

I don't know that I've ever shipped a pairing from a single movie before. I mostly ship from books, tv and sometimes from movie series. It takes time for a romance to be believable for me. I need to see chemistry develop. Even with non-canon romances I need the characters to interact enough.

Watching and processing Bojack Horseman was as helpful as therapy for me.

I've been lurking in online fandom for over 25 years. For at least the first 15 I literally only lurked and read fic and never posted anything, and only started commenting anonymously within the last ten. This year I made an Ao3 account so I could read locked fics during lockdown. I hope it doesn't take me another 15-25 years to post some fic there!

I've had other fandoms I dipped a toe in, but in over a quarter century, I've only really dove into two fandoms, and I only got into the second fandom because so many fans from my first fandom were posting about it.

There's other media I like and read fic for, but nothing else I've written more than a page or so of fic for, or tried to cosplay from, or, well, spent years at a time obsessing over.

I'm not being facetious when I say I read kink fic as art. Hardcore and deviant stories have taken me farther into the depths of imagination and self-reflection than even the most well written science fiction novels. Every now and then I'll stumble across a fic with a kink I didn't know existed and the roller coaster of emotion felt while plowing through paragraph after paragraph of mindbending sexuality can be likened to getting stoned almost.

I'm always impressed when multiple primary and secondary characters die all at once in the same scene. It takes balls as a writer to do such a thing and a rare talent to do it well.

Cannibalism is treated as one of the cardinal taboos but clearly more of the population is okay with it than lets on, as evident by the popularity of vampires, zombies, werewolves, et cetera. It's still (former/half) humans eating humans but they're deemed okay because they're specifically labeled as 'monsters' as opposed to 'human'; the possible political and social commentary of such a distinction keeps me up at night. It isn't just cannibalism that plays this card, but a wide array of other subjects too, and I wonder how much of 'taboo' in general is arguably a case of bad PR. Heh.

I love when a prequel's heart of gold protagonist loses their mind and becomes the antagonist in a sequel. It's one of my favorite narrative devices and I can't get enough of it. Just inject that good shit directly into my veins.

The low amount of Goku/Krillin and Bulma/Goku fanworks available online has been upsetting my horny sensibilities for literal decades now.

I know everyone should be allowed to like what they like, and whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone is okay. Even so, I find the whole 'comfort character' trend incredibly cringeworthy, especially since most of the people I see posting about it are grown adults. It just feels like a weird level of regression happening where actual adults are talking about 'what if my uwu comfort character Sasuke Uchiha gave me a kiss.' I'm very close to blocking people I formerly enjoyed talking to because if I wanted to follow someone who posted all day about fictional anime characters marrying them I would be following more fourteen year olds.

The worst fandom you were in (like having to witness ridiculous drama or something happening that made you wash your hands of that fandom)?

The fandom with your OTP or the one you multi-ship in?
and what is the most recent fandom/s you're into now?
