Games thread!

Holy Wall of Text, Batman.

Teal Deer, OP, sorry.

Is this about BuffytVS? It feels like some venerable Spuffy drama.

[(Anonymous)]

It's funny because "The Feels" is definitely an extremely basic title for a song. But if the song goes, it goes.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, who is Mags?

Different genres are more popular in different fandoms for whatever reason. I do think that (just based on anecdote) M!fictional character/F!reader has become more popular across a lot of TV fandoms but I think mostly it's just this is what people in Mandalorian fandom happen to be into. (And correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like there's also not a lot of natural canon ships for the character?)

Fuck knows. This secret read like someone set an AI to scrape FS comment threads.

[(Anonymous)]

It's always been huge (under different names, every generation reinvents it), but the part of fandom that founded AO3 was not particularly friendly to it, so it was massively under-represented there until the last few years when AO3 started picking up more people who had never been in that part of fandom culture.

[(Anonymous)]

Self Insert fic has always been a cancer in fandoms and the younger the readership skews, the more invasive the cancer is.

The only decent SI fics are ones that skewer the concept by deliberately having the insert act like they are the greatest thing but immediately find themselves out of their depth and pretty much the buttmonkey of the fic. There are not enough nerds with that level of self awareness, though.

[(Anonymous)]

You're kidding, right? AO3 loved that sort of trash. Don't go claiming AO3 as having any kind of high ground here.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't read Mercedes Lackey but googling "Misty Lackey Mags" makes pretty obvious what I had assumed from context: that Mags is the central character of most of the Valdemar books that Lackey has published since 2008.

I'm honestly really mystified by this comment because it seems incredibly straightforward what OP is talking about and what they're saying. The secret design isn't great, but everything else is pretty comprehensible even to a casual observer.

There's literally nothing wrong with self insert fic

[(Anonymous)]

Found the SI writer, the non self aware one too. Shouldn't you be off writing about fucking Sirius Black or something?
