Every time I go through a comment drought, I always convince myself that my next fic will do better, I put even more effort in, hype myself up, and spoiler, it never does. When am I going to learn?

Secret: I spent the last year and a half pouring all my energy into making a retail length fan game for my fandom with original art and music and after releasing it... still crickets. So at this point, if that couldn't do it, then nothing can. (Yes, it's been less than a week and I'm being overdramatic, but I hoped the novelty factor would be worth something...)

One of the biggest tells that a gay sub bottom character is being written/RPed by an oblivious straight woman, at least to me, is when the character/story assumes queer dom top men respond to that type of character the same way straight men respond to straight women, where the straight men are assumed to have a dearth of choice and the straight women are by default desired and chased after.

something something insert joke about how everybody and their brother and their gay uncle is a vers bottom seeking a good man

Seriously though, forcing the standard het dynamic makes me bounce off so many stories.

The Oz books were such a huge part of my childhood. I'm so bitter that it is public domain now and we keep getting "adaptions" that aren't. Now even horror movies. I just want an actually faithful adaption. And one of Ozma of Oz and Emerald City too.

B!S: I'm glad we at least got Return to Oz, which isn't super faithful but still the best adaption so far.

There's this person in our community whose clout farming is very blatant. You've got everything from ignoring old OOMFs once they'd acquired some more well-known ones, to blatantly stealing and repurposing others' jokes. One time I searched up one of their
tweets and found the exact tweet VERBATIM posted by another user three years earlier. It's pathetic, and I have a lot of contempt for them.

S!b: This person had a lot of success making friends by repeating funnier people's jokes, at the exact same time I was putting a lot of earnest effort into engaging with people through art, writing, conversation, etc, and made zero friends.

This was before the rise of AI, but truly a lesson for the AI era, amirite?

Nah. But your amnesia is cute.

Frankly, seems like calling them out, just makes them troll harder. And yes, I vomited it a bit at the fact the White House is "trolling".

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah, assholes like that always existed, and frankly, may be the only reason I ever had any respect for Joe Rogan, who turned out to be a douchebag but was willing to call out joke stealers like Carlos Mencia. (and yes, I know this secret isn't about either person)

But yeah, it really sucks to see thieves rewarded and never held accountable. If they put half the effort into creating something that they did stealing others' work... well, I guess it's no guarantee it'll be good, but at least it'd be their own. And they might learn that it's okay to not be insanely good at everything.

If you could ban one topic of discussion off the internet worldwide, what do you ban?

Ban as in make illegal, assume outright criminal stuff is already technically banned

[(Anonymous)]

Every time we get a secret like this one, I camp out in the replies, because seeing the sheer vitriol fanwriters get in this community for wanting comments reminds me to keep working on my original stuff rather than write fanfiction.

(Feel free to tell me how entitled I must be, or how I am probably a shitty writer! I am at the draft stage, and nothing fuels me like spite!)

[(Anonymous)]

Not a straight woman, but when I first started rping, I was so sure I'd find it difficult to find partners who were interested in someone who wanted to rp as a male domtop.

Boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise! Nothing fuels your self-esteem like entering a Discord and immediately getting flooded with requests to RP.

I’m really curious about this game! I can understand if you don’t want to link it but I am really curious if it’s for a fandom that would generally be interested in games, where you and how you released it, what the general setup involves and how many players it requires and supports.

Regardless of all that, major kudos to you because it sounds like a massive undertaking!
