Re: Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I used to be an anti.

Maybe not a "true" anti in the sense that someone repeatedly harasses or doxxes folks and sends threats over writing pairings they personally find gross. But as a much younger participant in fandom, for a period of several months, I was an abrasive little shit to anyone who wrote things I considered thoughtless trash and/or wildly inconsistent with canons. A proto-anti, if you will. I didn't keep it to private spaces where I snarked with friends, I actually went around flaming folks in comments. (Writing stories for fandoms that literally have no story/characters? OMG! Why are you wasting everyone's time?! Two people together in the series that you broke apart without explanation, then paired with other people they hate? And one of them is a kid?! How dare you?! REEEE!)

(Also, ha, remember when flaming meant leaving mean comments for folks?)

I even got it in my sad little head that I could CHANGE! THE WORLD! OF FANDOM! if I could JUST! OPEN PEOPLE'S EYES! To the importance of QUALITY WRITING!

Spoiler: that hilarious little crusade didn't end well. I learned pretty quickly that 1) nobody gives a fuck, 2) people are just having fun with fictional settings, and 3) in a place where there are literally zero consequences for having such fun, that made me the bad guy. I mean, how would I like it if I was minding my own business, and some asshole decided they had a say in it? It was a humbling lesson to learn, but one I don't recommend learning through the same route I did.

So I say, if you're an anti: Seriously, just stop. You don't have to justify why you hate something in fandom for any reason (least of all: XYZ is immoral!). It's your right to hate it. It's not your right to hurt real people over something fictional. It's fiction, not a gateway drug to deplorable behavior IRL. Criticize it elsewhere if you must. But don't pretend you're some heroic woke activist for shitting in someone's sandbox.

To the rest of fandom: I apologize for having my head up my ass, and for trying to ruin your fun. My behavior was unacceptable and I don't have an excuse. Since then, I've learned to chill out and click on back buttons more.

Games thread!

[philstar22]

I don't play games, I just read the lore. I find the World of Warcraft, Warhammer, and Elder Scrolls lore interesting and read it even though I'm likely never going to play a game. Those worlds just interest me. I even read fic sometimes.

Rewatching

[philstar22]

What was the last movie or show you rewatched? Meaning you'd seen it at least once before and watched it again.


Currently starting a Rizzoli and Isles rewatch.

Yet another fic research question. Books.

[(Anonymous)]

I've got a character in a fic I'm writing who is about eleven years old and they've just moved to the United States with their family; my question is what sort of books would they have been expected to read in school if they'd been raised American, and now need to catch up on? I get that the books American school kids have to read include Charlotte's Web, My Side of the Mountain, Tuck Everlasting, but are there any others they'd need to catch up on as part of the US school curriculum? If anyone can help with this background stuff, you'd be utter superstars. Thank you.

M*A*S*H, but only because it is on a looped repeat on one of the tv channels. And the most recent adaptation of The Worst Witch, because my littlest niece is a huge fan of that show.

His face got angles!!!! Also, he looks super graceful. Enjoy what's left of his career and check out his pass performances!

Re: Yet another fic research question. Books.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if it's accurate to say that one would need to read them to catch up. Books like those are very widely read by kids, yes, but it's not like kids have to read them, I've never read Tuck Everlasting myself.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here, even with D&D and Warhammer I am just there for the lore. Warhammer shot themselves in the foot with their Fantasy version's revamp, as far as I'm concerned, because the new system is distinctly light on lore and fluff.

The amount of DMC fic I have read at this point is hilarious. I've never played it and briefly read through the wiki and checked out some Fanart. Good enough for me!!

Re: Yet another fic research question. Books.

[philstar22]

I don't know for sure, but I think the Giver, the Phantom Tollbooth, Bridge to Terabithia, Number the Stars, the Secret Garden, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Anne Frank are all books that would be read by that point.
