Transcript by OP

[fscom]

There is this underrated book series that I used to tell people was one of my forever favorites (Warchild by Karin Lowachee is the first book).

The author is still working on it and I was super pumped for new books and novellas in the verse and ... then she released the first novella and I HATED it. A lot. Suddenly there is a romance between two characters happening no one has ever asked for (they're both shipped with several people but I've never seen anyone ship them - most people wanted them to become brothers int he found family kind at most) and that imo doesn't work, one character doesn't feel like himself anymore and another character has somehow regressed his character development (all in my opinion ofc). I don't want to say that it ruined the rest of the books for me, because I feel like that's a bit childish, but I'm no longer looking forward to new stuff in the series. I'm so bummed about it.

Doesn't help that I used to be very active on her now gone author run forum, reviewed all of her books, always recommended the series and regularly commented on her instagram posts.
I've stopped that. I haven't told her I didn't like it, didn't give it a rating anywhere and didn't write a review.
We were never friends or something but I still feel bad.

Games thread!

I prefer Joel but I also feel like the writing and production was generally sharper during the Mike seasons, so.

Really they're both great!

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry that happened. It's likely the author had the ships and character arcs planned at the start of the series and fandom latched on to other ones, and if the author had plans for where the plot would go, they wouldn't change it to make the popular fanon ship(s) canon even if that's what the fandom envisioned and wanted. Changing it to appease the fandom might also run into more legal risk about copying ideas from other people, too.

Just kinda unfortunate for both sides.

Not OP

The author having the ship planned in advance seemed likely to me after the secret mentioning "brothers." If it's an M/M ship in a young adult series that's been going on for years, yeah, it's likely the author wasn't able to put it in the books back then even if they wanted to.

Welp, Peter Dinklage is having a week on F!S, isn't he?

[(Anonymous)]

At least I agree with this anon's secrets! (If it's one anon and not multiple stans.)

[(Anonymous)]

OP, you rule and I admire your commitment to the bit.

[(Anonymous)]

Your PS makes it sound like a parody of a Jackson Browne song.

He's got to be somebody's baddie, he's so fine!

[philstar22]

I didn't find either of these two particularly likable. Only the women were likable to me (some of them).

New Music

[philstar22]

Any new music you've discovered recently? Either songs, or artists, or whatever? Not necessarily just came out, just stuff you've recently discovered.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't know this was a genre! Are these games? Manga/Manhwa? Rec me, please!

I sorta feel this, but from the writer’s side. I’ve made some great friends who are in the same fandoms as me and have the same ships. They know I write fic for those ships, but I don’t want them to read my fics. It makes me nervous for some reason.
