hi, i'm liz (34, she/her, asexual queer), & on this blog is mostly zelda, spn, & star trek. RELEVANT LINKS: ao3 (NO MINORS), spn masterpost, star trek masterpost, zelda movie pitch, & my writing liveblog tag (including rough drafts & a "tutorial" masterpost). anon is always on if you need anything or wanna chat just don't be a dick please ♥
this is why i dont often comment on fic or publicly bookmark it btw. like, i enjoy fic that is objectively not good but i don't want people knowing i enjoy it bc then i'll get defensive and say "well yeah x thing is bad but..." and that sort of thing just doesn't need to be on the internet where the author can see it when i can also shut the fuck up about it for free
under a cut bc i dont wanna put anybody on blast but i'm also putting myself a little bit on blast bc i'm discussing/revealing my galaxy brain mtv teenage canines rarepair
literally baffled by people on ao3 sometimes...idk, maybe i'm just Old, but i think of the bookmarks section as something the author can see and i wouldn't wanna be negative there, even a little? like, this person clearly DOESN'T think of it that way, which is a whole other debate, but then like...why would you go to the trouble of writing something nice and then NOT put it where (you think) the author can see it?? i'm always feeling bad about not having the patience or time or whatever to leave comments on fics...if i bookmarked something and wrote something nice about it in the bookmarks i'd at least copypaste to the comments section? unless it had something negative on it in which case i'd just bookmark privately??
tbh, i guess this sort of reads like a reclist entry...reclists are kind of gray area where negativity is concerned bc you do want to be mmmostly honest if it's a sitch where the fic is mid but x thing about it makes it worth your time, and the likehood that the author will see it unless you directly call their attention to it is pretty low...i guess i'll just try to think of this like that!!! tbh it's a lot better than when that one person said something mean about mary in my broken road bookmarks lol
one day I’ll finally write that ridiculously elaborate fanfiction that I’ve been carefully constructing in my daydreams for months and then you’ll be sorry. you’ll all be sorry.
