Those games sucked for me. Not because I’ve anything against them but because everyone knew I was ace so it was like 40% of the time they tried to awkwardly dance around it for me and 40% of the time they tried to make it ESPECIALLY smutty to try to, I don’t honestly know, break me? And even in games that weren’t inherently sexual (like truth or dare or paranoia) it’s hard for teenagers to come up with any other kinds of answers.
@@trucetruce335 They thought it was "funny". Some kids in school wanna poke fun at you for ANY little weirdness you have. At least you could admit you're ace. I couldn't even admit I'm into older guys. (And sometimes girls...)
ikr, and sometimes I read such long fanfics really quickly and then when it's time to read a book that's is shorter than most fanfics I read for school, it takes me forever to read the book
@@CorgiTheRegularCorgi17 It's short for Archive of Our Own. It's a searchable archive, mostly of fanfic, but there's original fiction there, too. Some art and podfic, but not a huge amount, comparatively.
i think my favourite part of the enemies to lovers trope is that there are two extremes of it: *oh no, he's hot* and *oh no, i'm actually very emotionally attached to him because he's the only person who actually understands me despite our constant arguments*
Okay, but on an unrelated note, I never tell a single soul about me reading fanfics bc it's generally looked down on in society, and this channel and the comments always make me feel so much better, like it isn't something that I should hide.
I’ve been reading fanfic since I was 14 in 2005, haven’t stopped yet. One thing I’ve learned is people you never expect to read fanfic also read it. And while there are fandom wars, fanfiction authors and readers often have their own little sub community and tend to be really nice. Don’t feel like you have to hide it, don’t feel ashamed of your interests.
The kinds of people who mock fanfiction also probably would be gobsmacked to realize _Paradise Lost_ and _Dante's Inferno_ are Bible fics. According to my piecing it together later in class bc-I-had-issues-reading-the-material-at-home, there was even a chapter of smut in _Paradise Lost!_
A/B/O and “Soulmate AU” fics both give me a sense of existential confusion as to how such a different version of humanity could form a society nearly identical to our own.
Like, if they all evolved around the same time, why would the early humans have felt the need to cross-reference alpha/beta/omega with male/female? Why not just label them as six distinct sexes?
@@edslushie570 I'm not sure if this answers your question but in some fics I've read the characters refer to the abo part as secondary genders I think cuz it's not something linked to your actual sex unlike male and female
college aus tend to also have an excessive amount of drinking and swearing. at least from my experience and i don't want to watch a bunch of characters destroy their livers or just being stupid when i can just listen to irl college stupidity

@@fork-chan4507 Alpha, Beta, Omega. Takes wolf hierarchy, and, ahem, some other canine characteristics, but with humans. Alphas and Omegas are mated pairs, though you can find a Beta/Omega, Alpha/Beta pairing, but it's rare.

Cassie's Creations Well, if you like Newsies fics, canon-era, internalized homophobia, and tears I think you would like it. It’s on Wattpad, it’s called Close Your Eyes, Come With Me. I died like 13 times reading it. Sorry if it’s not your fandom or to your liking.
I read a slow burn like that back in middle school. It took like 150k+ just for them to hold hands in the final chapter rip. But it was still a good fic haha.
I mean I can see why she confused it. Like...spanish has latin roots. So does italian. And most (or all I believe?) Romance Languages. So it's understandable that she got it wrong.
@@natrod8628 yeah ur right thats definitely why! all romance languages have latin roots because "romance language" means a roman language, or a language descended from latin :) but yeah, ur right!
@@bugzimm2527 okay yeah I knew that,,,,but I didn't exactly remember if all romance language had latin roots because....idk I essentially didn't wanna be wrong when saying "all".
@@natrod8628 "idk I essentially didn't wanna be wrong when saying "all"." Oh, my gosh, you're paranoid about that, too!?!? I thought I was the only one!!! (Well, not quite, but I didn't think I'd meet somebody else with the same problem.)
Ngl I about cried when you made sure to shout out actually friendships being kinda shoved outta the way for friends to lovers. That was like a hug of reassurance to my aromatic heart that I’m not less of a person because romance isn’t more important than platonic relationships.
Genuinely amazing friendships that don't end up as lovers just hits different. It's not very often I see it written in a believable way, but when it's done right, it becomes and instant favorite for me :)
I enjoy writing and reading romance a lot, but I also love creating characters who are just extremely close friends & neither of them have feelings for the other. Both are enjoyable, but the latter is refreshing to read and/or write!
Gen fics need more love. Honestly, most of the times the shipping gets excessive and tiring, and DON'T get me started on the ship wars, and I want a break away from them. Sometimes I just want some semblance of mundanity, two (or more) people just being friends... or family.
Confession that will most *definitely* get lost in the comments: I don't really read or seek out coffee shop aus? I know, shame for eternity, I'm just so deep up angst's ass that I can't read something else
You know what I really like and no one talks about? Bittersweet endings . The world is ending and they get together before the world explodes? Yes They just broke up and help each other get out of the angsty zone but don't get together at the end? Yes In another life? Yes Just , yes .
So cute basically fanfiction story, my brother just moved out and is in a small town out in the middle of nowhere. A few minutes from his apartment is an old fashioned ice cream place and the first time he went there it was really late and it was basically just him and the cashier. They talked for like a half hour and now he goes back just to see her and he's slowly figuring out her work schedule so he only stops by on days when she's there. He doesn't even know her name but he describes her as the cashier with the sapphire eyes and yeah my brother is living in a coffee shop au Update: For those asking nothing has happened yet lol he's thinking of asking her on a date but he's not sure where they would go cause everything is still closed where he is.
@@mangaanimefan89 yes it's its own trope. I think its coexisting with coffee shop AUs, but it really depends on the fandom you're in. It's big enough to be recognized as its own trope but niche enough to not be found in every fandom. Happy to see another one enjoying it XD
@Idiot in Germany you don't need a meal to it. You can shop alcohol in the store at 16, but it only can be beer, wine or champagne. Other alcoholic drinks are allowed when you turn 18.
It’s been years since I’ve read Ninjago fics (2012-13 🙃). Dont remember reading any of those, but glad the community still has an abundance of fics to read
@@KarlaDayelin OML I think I stopped using Fnet in like 2016. A03 just has way better search features. It makes it a LOT easier to find the stuff you want with tags and stuff :/ But Fnet still manages to have better stories than wattpad so at least there's that!
Jiggly Soda yeah, same. Ao3 has been my primary source of Fics for a while now, but sometimes you are desperate and when you are desperate Ffnet and Wattpad don’t seem so bad. (I also started with wattpad, one cannot betray their roots 😔)
I've seen a "one wrist has your soulmate lover, the other has your fated/soulmate enemy" au where the guy's got his childhood friend & a random foreign name on his wrists... but he didn't know he'd end up SWITCHING SIDES IN THE WAR so the names were opposite of what he thought😭
My fanfics are focused on plot rather than relationships. Honestly to me, I ended throwing in a relationship as an afterthought because my stories are focused on a plot divergence in some way and the effects of that. Am I one of the only writer that writes 'what if' stories?
@@cxtcutsml706 a little recomendation of a fanfic to read "louds vs the forces of evil". The canon divergence can be seen subtle at the begining, bit become stronger with each chapter. (If you didn't notice, is a crossover fanfiction between star vs the forces of evil and the loud house)
AWWWW HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!! most of the fics i read are focused on shipping but i recently i picked up someone's AU and its so f u c k i n g good holy fuck
Baby fic is such diverse trope. It could mean either accidental baby acquisition, pair having a baby together, single parent fic, pair getting changed onto babies ant people having to take care of them, pair meeting as babies or friends of pair getting changed into babies and while taking care of them realising they would be wonderful together.
I kind of wish i could go back to when i started reading fanfics because everything felt original and decently written but over time I am just reading the same tropes with similar premises for the same fandom and it's lost that exciting feeling that it had at the beginning although i do still enjoy reading fanfics on a daily basis.
I am torn when it comes to childhood friends romance, that being in canon or fanon. Example of a good one: fish hooks, the developtment of the feeling between bea and oscar i found it adorable and with really good pacing. And bad one (please no one kill me, i still haven't wrote a romance fanfiction, or any fanfiction in general): danny phantom. Don't get me wrong, i love the show, and is not that i dislike danny X sam, I DISPISE IT, the third season Open with danny having romantic interest in sam while the second season ended with no kind of foreshadowing for that BULLSHIT. Any time i see a fanfiction crossover, i try to find those that don't have sam as danny girlfriend since, if you analyze her behavior in the series, she actually is a horrible romantic partner: judgemental, possesive, hypocritical, unapologetic, irresponsable. I mean, i know that she is 14-15 years old, bit her personality was so awful i can't see what danny sees in her. IT doesn't help that he barely interacts with other girls except if the circunstances call for it, so instead of seeing a compelling love story, i see danny choosing San against his own will since she sabotaged one way or another his chances to interact with other girls, making seem that she won not because she deserve it, bit because she was the only option he knew.
Ooh, what kind of fandoms do you read from? I read stuff from _Voltron:Legendary Defender,_ _Trollhunters:Tales of Arcadia,_ _Avatar:The Last Airbender,_ and other stuff like that mostly.
Honestly outside a few pairings I really don't like Enemies to lovers. I couldn't tell you why because I'm not entirely sure what it is that just irks me about them.
My teacher: Wow, gen z is so productive! You folks do so much, I’m pretty sure I was writing fanfic at your age! Me, taking notes on this instead of focusing on class: **nervous sweating**
If you like angst here is an idea for one. Sad Red String! They (Main character) just don't think they're good enough for their soulmate whoever they are so they cut the red string.
I love the one where your soulmate's name is on your skin and it acts as a kind of soul bond where you can feel each other's emotions and stuff like that

I once read a slow burn where they didn't even kiss, not once. It was so good, but my heart kinda broke.
Cassie's Creations Well, if you like Newsies fics, canon-era, internalized homophobia, and tears I think you would like it. It’s on Wattpad, it’s called Close Your Eyes, Come With Me. I died like 13 times reading it. Sorry if it’s not your fandom or to your liking.
I read one where I was literally 50 chapters in and they weren't together yet 💀💀
Makes me self conscious about my fanfiction. I've written 80 chapters and they aren't even together yet 😂
I read a slow burn like that back in middle school. It took like 150k+ just for them to hold hands in the final chapter rip. But it was still a good fic haha.

I literally SCREAMED when she said it was Spanish.
I mean I can see why she confused it. Like...spanish has latin roots. So does italian. And most (or all I believe?) Romance Languages. So it's understandable that she got it wrong.
@@natrod8628 yeah ur right thats definitely why! all romance languages have latin roots because "romance language" means a roman language, or a language descended from latin :) but yeah, ur right!

Ngl I about cried when you made sure to shout out actually friendships being kinda shoved outta the way for friends to lovers. That was like a hug of reassurance to my aromatic heart that I’m not less of a person because romance isn’t more important than platonic relationships.
Same

Genuinely amazing friendships that don't end up as lovers just hits different. It's not very often I see it written in a believable way, but when it's done right, it becomes and instant favorite for me :)
Fellow aro! Hello! But seriously, YES to this! Close friendships are absolutely just as valid as romantic ones and more people should know it!
I enjoy writing and reading romance a lot, but I also love creating characters who are just extremely close friends & neither of them have feelings for the other. Both are enjoyable, but the latter is refreshing to read and/or write!
Literally every single person that reads fan fiction is just “I’m not a furry
𝙗 𝙪 𝙩”
I know right because *ME*
Fanfic readers are COWARDS, just admit that y’all are furries and get over it
@@Blablablablabla392 YES ! Like being a furry isn't a bad thing y'all likes animals admit it

Gen fics need more love. Honestly, most of the times the shipping gets excessive and tiring, and DON'T get me started on the ship wars, and I want a break away from them. Sometimes I just want some semblance of mundanity, two (or more) people just being friends... or family.
YES. YESYESYES-
as someone that aggressively loves found family, yes. just- yes i need more fucking gen fics

oh I switch between angsty fics, soft. and crack fics
I think they’re stupid tbh. I don’t like AU in general
i mostly read angst so

So cute basically fanfiction story, my brother just moved out and is in a small town out in the middle of nowhere. A few minutes from his apartment is an old fashioned ice cream place and the first time he went there it was really late and it was basically just him and the cashier. They talked for like a half hour and now he goes back just to see her and he's slowly figuring out her work schedule so he only stops by on days when she's there. He doesn't even know her name but he describes her as the cashier with the sapphire eyes and yeah my brother is living in a coffee shop au
Update: For those asking nothing has happened yet lol he's thinking of asking her on a date but he's not sure where they would go cause everything is still closed where he is.
That is absolutely adorable
Your brother and the cashier are clearly the main characters.
update me, i need to know how this fic ends
Update us, I'm gonna be invested in this love story. I'm rooting for him!!!

Yee thank you. Also sad Detective AU isn’t here.

I've actually read a tattoo parlor AU! Is that really its own trope? Is it becoming the new coffee shop AU?
@@mangaanimefan89 yes it's its own trope. I think its coexisting with coffee shop AUs, but it really depends on the fandom you're in. It's big enough to be recognized as its own trope but niche enough to not be found in every fandom. Happy to see another one enjoying it XD

It’s been years since I’ve read Ninjago fics (2012-13 🙃). Dont remember reading any of those, but glad the community still has an abundance of fics to read
Julia Aguilera It amazes me how We are one of the 30 cartoons with the most content in Ffnet and there are like 11 soulmate AUs fics
Cassie's Creations Sup, pal?
@@KarlaDayelin OML I think I stopped using Fnet in like 2016. A03 just has way better search features. It makes it a LOT easier to find the stuff you want with tags and stuff :/
But Fnet still manages to have better stories than wattpad so at least there's that!
Jiggly Soda yeah, same. Ao3 has been my primary source of Fics for a while now, but sometimes you are desperate and when you are desperate Ffnet and Wattpad don’t seem so bad.
(I also started with wattpad, one cannot betray their roots 😔)
tsundere x tsundere is the perfect combination of enemies to lovers and friends to lovers, change my mind
it’s ‘meh’ for me, i feel like fics with tsunxtsun drag along for too long
Ok but enemies to lovers, soulmate AU are pretty cool in my opinion
Especially combined like the enemies turn out to be soulmates tess
Yesss sorry
i read one the other day and its become but number one fic of all time shbdsn i did not realise i needed something like that
I've seen a "one wrist has your soulmate lover, the other has your fated/soulmate enemy" au where the guy's got his childhood friend & a random foreign name on his wrists... but he didn't know he'd end up SWITCHING SIDES IN THE WAR so the names were opposite of what he thought😭
CelestiaLily I would like one that has the same person on both wrists
My fanfics are focused on plot rather than relationships. Honestly to me, I ended throwing in a relationship as an afterthought because my stories are focused on a plot divergence in some way and the effects of that. Am I one of the only writer that writes 'what if' stories?
NooOo GOD I fucking love canon divergence fics. I’m not a big fan or smut, romance, love triangles and such. I’m plot orientated as well.
@@cxtcutsml706 a little recomendation of a fanfic to read "louds vs the forces of evil". The canon divergence can be seen subtle at the begining, bit become stronger with each chapter. (If you didn't notice, is a crossover fanfiction between star vs the forces of evil and the loud house)
omg a fanfic writer that doesnt almost completely focus on shipping??? how does it feel being the rarest kind of person
That's both what I read and half of what I write, so you're good.
AWWWW HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
most of the fics i read are focused on shipping but i recently i picked up someone's AU and its so f u c k i n g good holy fuck
*reads Latin phrase*
"I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish"

Baby fic is such diverse trope. It could mean either accidental baby acquisition, pair having a baby together, single parent fic, pair getting changed onto babies ant people having to take care of them, pair meeting as babies or friends of pair getting changed into babies and while taking care of them realising they would be wonderful together.
Honestly I'd read any of these
10:54 Coley: "In Vino Veritas"? I do not speak Spanish I apologize.
Latin
So close.
The word-for-word Spanish translation would be pretty close: "en vino verdad." A more natural way to say it is "en el vino está la verdad."
I laughed so much cause My native language is spanish and I've barely just learned English so I got like xd???
Coley: is allergic to alcohol
Coley: drinks it anyway
Me: *is this a relatable meme?*
I kind of wish i could go back to when i started reading fanfics because everything felt original and decently written but over time I am just reading the same tropes with similar premises for the same fandom and it's lost that exciting feeling that it had at the beginning although i do still enjoy reading fanfics on a daily basis.
My first fandom was the HP one and I used to love ALL the fics. Now every time I visit the fandom, I cringe
Same, I started off with mha fic, and looking back it’s the driest shit I ever read, but I thought it was really nice and cute.
Sorry but: Hurt/comfort, mutual pining, unrequited love, childhood best friends (or friends) to lovers + soulmate au is my life
I am torn when it comes to childhood friends romance, that being in canon or fanon. Example of a good one: fish hooks, the developtment of the feeling between bea and oscar i found it adorable and with really good pacing.
And bad one (please no one kill me, i still haven't wrote a romance fanfiction, or any fanfiction in general): danny phantom.
Don't get me wrong, i love the show, and is not that i dislike danny X sam, I DISPISE IT, the third season Open with danny having romantic interest in sam while the second season ended with no kind of foreshadowing for that BULLSHIT. Any time i see a fanfiction crossover, i try to find those that don't have sam as danny girlfriend since, if you analyze her behavior in the series, she actually is a horrible romantic partner: judgemental, possesive, hypocritical, unapologetic, irresponsable. I mean, i know that she is 14-15 years old, bit her personality was so awful i can't see what danny sees in her.
IT doesn't help that he barely interacts with other girls except if the circunstances call for it, so instead of seeing a compelling love story, i see danny choosing San against his own will since she sabotaged one way or another his chances to interact with other girls, making seem that she won not because she deserve it, bit because she was the only option he knew.
I haven't read fics with like, half these tropes. Granted, I read a lot of fics with Fandom specific tropes.
Same
I only have the attention span for one shots which already limits my options lol
Same. Sanders sides is mainly coffee shops, soulmates, and mindpalace stuff
Amira Ebrahim same, plus I’m also super picky
Ooh, what kind of fandoms do you read from? I read stuff from _Voltron:Legendary Defender,_ _Trollhunters:Tales of Arcadia,_ _Avatar:The Last Airbender,_ and other stuff like that mostly.

@@AiliasFox definitely!
Honestly outside a few pairings I really don't like Enemies to lovers. I couldn't tell you why because I'm not entirely sure what it is that just irks me about them.
I absolutely love them!!!! But there's a really, really, really fine line that toes toxic representations of a relationship-
A very thin, fine line-
My teacher: Wow, gen z is so productive! You folks do so much, I’m pretty sure I was writing fanfic at your age!
Me, taking notes on this instead of focusing on class: **nervous sweating**
I’m confused on the “I was writing fanfic at your age!” part.
Felt the same way when I read Catching Fire and found one of the actual coal props from the movie set on my desk
Anyone else love that Uncle Rick basically did a "Huddle for Warmth" trope in Ship of the Dead with Alex and Magnus?

"In vino veritas? Sorry, I don't speak spanish."
Honey, it's latin-
Angst, major character death, dark fiction, and Crack fics are the reason I have an AO3 account.

Yes
mcd is so traumatizing
Coley: goes on about different soulmate au ideas
Me: (writing a soulmate au fanfic) Write it down! Write it down!
If you like angst here is an idea for one.
Sad Red String!
They (Main character) just don't think they're good enough for their soulmate whoever they are so they cut the red string.
I like the colorblind soulmate AUs where you only see color when you’re with your soulmate
I love the one where your soulmate's name is on your skin and it acts as a kind of soul bond where you can feel each other's emotions and stuff like that
It’s funny to hear her vocal range as just one person rather than 10 different characters at once!
Coley: the fandoms i’m reading about rn...
Me: *has been reading about the same 1, ONE, ship for about a year and a half and struggles to find new content, even though it’s bts*
Rice Rice man i relate. I always usually latch on to one ship or character in a fandom, then struggle to find content :(.
Oml me-
lol which ship-
arent there like 50k+ fics because i can imagine there are

What's your otp?
@Lilly Aircode just out of curiosity, which one is yours?

I wonder if she will do a “Entering the Coleydoesthings fandom”🤔
she already has
"in vino veritas" is actually a latin expression. The translation is something like "the truth in the wine", but yeah, drunken confession
the only time I like a love triangle is when they end up being a wholesome ot3 poly relationship
edit: I have a friend who is poly, and I think poly relationships should be talked about more (especially in healthier ways/ conversations) :)
Ooh, Nice!

D tier is the desperately bored fics you read when you can't sleep and verbally complain whilst reading the entire thing😂
That's smut for me. I don't like it, it makes me uncomfortable, but if that's the only thing i can find for my favorite pairing... I guess i'll try
