I actually prefer when the slow-burn is not about the romance parts of enemies-to-lovers but the "i think you're a reprehensible evil monster" to "...despite my moral objections I'm willing to listen to you" and "oh fuck I care about that lunatic" curve. I can't have you be cool with the mass murder and the atrocities 5 chapters in 😭

Sometimes a fic has been brilliantly Britpicked and then you find one word that you just gaze fondly at and think "ah, so you were American after all!"

(catalog vs catalogue)

I want pasta but specifically penne all'arrabbiata and like the restaurant one not at home but it's half past midnight

Do you ever start a fic and just think "Ah. I know what will consume me for the next few hours."

It's weird to me now to see the name "Jeffrey" because I've spent quite a bit of time reading about the Middle Ages (and also I'm English) so to me the natural spelling is Geoffrey

French diplomatic passports are blue by the way, not black

The book I'm reading (still the same one) mentions French diplomatic passports and I'm just like. I've seen them and the description the author gives is wrong lol

The biggest fault I have with the UK is the fact that one can't find any Barry's nor some Lyon's either

Irgendwann Mitte der 90er: Mein Vater gewinnt bei einer Tombola ein weißes Tshirt mit Heißluftballon drauf.

2014: Meine Eltern misten ihren Kleiderschrank aus, und ich schnorre mir ein paar Sachen - darunter ein weißes Tshirt mit Heißluftballon drauf.

2024: Das weiße Heißluftballon-Shirt ist zu einem meiner Lieblingskleidungsstücke geworden. Es ist wahnsinnig bequem und macht seit Jahren so ziemlich alles mit.

2024: Meine Mama bekommt einen Gutschein für einen Heißluftballonflug geschenkt.

2025: Nach mehrmaligen wetterbedingten Absagen findet der Ballonflug endlich statt. Ich biete mich als Fahrer an und bleibe bis zum Start, um Fotos zu machen. Ich trage, passend zum Anlass, mein weißes Ballonshirt. Als der Mann mit dem Heißluftballon den Korb aufstellt, fällt sein Blick auf mich. "Hey du!", ruft er, "Du hast mein Tshirt an!" Ich denke, er macht einen Scherz, wegen des Ballonmotivs. Im Gespräch stellt sich heraus, dass er exakt diese Shirts in den frühen 90ern als Werbegeschenke verteilt hat. Er freut sich wie Schnitzel.

Just realised I was the one to take the photo of D that he uses as his profile picture on Instagram and there we go for another round

How to write a summary on Ao3

If you tell me it's not good, I don't want to read it.

TELL ME ABOUT THE STORY. I don't care if it's your first fic. I don't care if it spawned out of a conversation with a friend. I don't care if it's based on your life. Just tell me what fucking happens

Don't say "I hope you enjoy" or "have a nice read" or something. There is a feature called an author's note that is SEPARATE from the summary. Tell me that in there.

If it's not directly linked to the plot of your fic, don't put it in.

"Nobody asked for this-" I don't care. If you tell me it's not worth reading, I won't read it.

Tell me about the fucking story

Don't tell me about the series it's in. Don't tell me it's a fic for a specific fandom. I have all that information available in the tags.

If it's already in the main tags don't tell me about it in the summary. If you've tagged your fandom, warnings, characters, and relationships (if any), you don't need to explain them to me in the summary.

TELL ME ABOUT THE STORY

Don't make spelling mistakes in the summary. Don't make any in the story, either, but the summary is the FIRST THING people see of your fic. If they see five spelling mistakes in a two-line summary they don't want to read it.

Tell. Me. About. The. Fucking. Story.
