Hi case! I misfired this comment; meant to put it as its own subthread, rather than a reply to someone else. Would it be possible for you to delete it? It feels rude to have replied to someone else's thing with my own gripe.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling irritable, I go back to a fic where I liked the premise but the sentence-level writing annoyed me, copy-paste the text into a Word doc, and edit/rewrite the shit out of it. I do this because sometimes I literally cannot stop mentally rewriting the sentences as I read them. It's like a compulsion. No one will ever know.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you considered offering to beta?

[(Anonymous)]

I've done this. Sometimes rewriting sentences, sometimes adding bits that I thought were missing, sometimes drastically re-editing a piece of smut to fit my tastes exactly.

I found it pretty satisfying and, like you, I'd never share it with anyone else. I haven't done it for a while, but you've got me thinking I might try again. It felt cathartic, but also sometimes like a good writing exercise when I had no motivation to start something brand new.

[(Anonymous)]

I've done the same thing for many years, but it's not a matter of being "irritable." If I like a fic well enough that I know I'll reread it, I fix spelling, punctuation, grammar, misused words, and -- yes -- some awkward phrasing or construction. I also prefer indented paragraphs with no blank space between, and two spaces after ending punctuation. (I'm old, and old-school.) Then I send it to my ereader and, the next time I visit the story, I sail through without my "beta brain" dragging me out of the story.

Some people know, because I've admitted it elsewhere. But since I'm not posting my version, I figure it doesn't affect the fic's author. I leave a kudos, and possibly a comment, then bask in a great story that I've simply "cleaned up" a little.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh same I do this too. It’s usually for fics that I feel have the potential to be something right up my alley and I tweak bits here and there so it’s a readable version for me. If you’re not posting it there’s no harm because the writer will never know.

I think I love you

I think I'd find that too frustrating, but I get why someone might find that satisfying!

One of my favorite tropes is a villain who is powerful, brilliant, practically unstoppable, destroying all their enemies and winning. And the they get destroyed because their own arrogance. I love it when a great villain as much destroys themselves as their enemies do.

I love the Star Wars sequels. But I still think it would have been more interesting to explore a New Republic destroying itself from within or some
upstart pro-Empire group starting a new war with the good guys now the government.

I lost my father this year and can't watch Christmas episodes of Bob's Burgers, because Bob reminds me so much of him. I accidentally let Dog Day Christmas Afternoon play and bawled like a baby.

I just want my dad back.

Look, I know that undercuts are way way overused in character design these days and that a lot of people are getting sick of them, and understandably so. But as someone whose own hair has never looked better than it currently does with an undercut pixie, all I can say is keep 'em comin'! Sorry not sorry.

I am always so sad that my friends do not watch the same shows as I do.
But when they do I realize that I am getting bored and annoyed by discussions almost immediately. Way to go, me

I love this show. But damn was Jared a terrible actor in the early seasons. I never bought him any of the times Sam was supposedly possessed. I never bought any of his emotional scenes. He really only got better in the much later seasons.

I finally figured out what is missing from the Sequels for me. I love the characters. The plots are mostly great. But the soundtracks just don't come close to the OT or PT ones. Williams seems to have lost his gift for themes. I get it, he's all but retired. But it still makes me sad.

I'm getting really tired of people being unable to comprehend that saying a villain's actions were understandable =/= saying they were acceptable.

There are lots of villains who do the things they do for reasons that make perfect sense. Those reasons are also wrong or misguided. Both things can be true at the same time, and IMO a villain who does things for understandable but incorrect or unacceptable reasons is a far more compelling character than a villain who is just evil for the sake of evil or for their own personal benefit.
