The few authors who do take concrit are so few and far in between I have to do double takes when I find them. One author noted my noticing of her abusing adverbs. She fixed it and her work improved literally overnight. I was so charmed I ended up liking a pairing I usually am not privy too.

I think people who endured the flame wars have a little thicker skin. Good concrit or reviewers being honest with you is valuable too. I'm very self conscious as a writer; concrit helps me see where I'm going wrong and whether I'm a mega failure or not.
I'm literally writing a sequel to the fic that got a lot of complaints about the ending. Granted, I was strongly considering it (or at least a fic with a similar premise) even before I posted the final chapter to the original fic, but I am definitely using the criticism I received to help shape the plot of the sequel. So far it's been pretty well-received.
Speaking of, I'm not sure how to feel about profiles that literally are a writer's life story in it:

Excuse me, shoulder injuries from typing too much? And they still write fic?
I know wrist/hand injuries are pretty common from too much typing but those are relatively fixable. But shoulder injuries? Are they typing in the weirdest hunched position known to man or did they get carpal tunnel so bad it somehow spread up their arms and to their shoulders? Do they still type fics or just dictate them (speech-to-text program or to husband) now?
If they dictate them, that might explain why their fics are <1k words.

Some of the husband's fics are also pretty short. I don't recall that shoulder injury being part of their bio before, makes me wonder if the husband has that injury now too.

It's just a classic embellishment.

If they're bedridden it could be from typing laying down, I've tried to do something similar and it feels weird and unnatural.

I cannot imagine reading disgusting smut out loud. Just a disgusting thought
 
They're right about the thin skin, though. Archive.

Yeah way too many fic authors have thin skin but a dislike button is retarded. You'd get too many dislikes from people who don't like your main pairing or petty crap like that. And even if you do have writing issues, it's not like a thumbs-down is going to actually tell you what you should fix.
I get the feeling that most of the authors who can't tell the difference between receiving constructive criticism and getting flamed (sorry, "harrassed") are underaged, or arrested development tards who still think of themselves as underaged/teenagers despite being pushing 30. To an adult who acts like an adult, the difference is super obvious.
Also, getting critical comments isn't harrassment, even if the people being critical are obviously motivated by a dislike of whatever ship, kink, or trope you put in there. If they got points to make, they got points to make. Even if they are just flaming you then it's still not harrassment. I say thing as someone who actually got doxed over fic a few years back - that's harrassment. Anon comments saying "This fic sucks, my blorbo would never do that!!!" is not harrassment.
 
The main My Little Pony fanfiction site, Fimfiction, has like and dislike buttons and it works out for them pretty well. Most people don't spend the effort to hit the buttons at all and the stuff that is downvoted heavily is typically stuff that is genuinely badly written or fetish stuff. But what might work for that fandom might not work for others or a general site.

Does MLP have a lot of ship wars? That and the purity police would probably be the biggest abusers of a dislike button on a more general fanfic site.
 
Does MLP have a lot of ship wars?
Surprisingly not really? It's not something people get as up in arms about as in some other fandoms for sure. You're always gonna see some people who dislike a certain ship or prefer another more but it's definitely not as bad as anime ship wars in the fandom. Probably helps that the main show is almost entirely aromantic.
 
In that case then I'd say that's why having a like/dislike thing works well on fimfiction. There'd probably also be a bunch of other fandoms where it also works out fine. To my knowledge MLP fandom doesn't have a big problem with people throwing tantrums over authors writing kinks they don't like either (probably because that fandom has a ton of degenerates that the rest of them have just learned to ignore). Any fandom that doesn't have ship wars or kink discourse could probably get away with being able to put a thumbs-down on a fic, even if it doesn't actually communicate anything useful to the author.
A place like AO3, which hosts many different fandoms, still should never have anything like that, though. It's not that I think mass disliking constitutes harrassment, or that AO3 has any kind of recommendation algorithm that likes/dislike could affect, but it would just be a feature that does nothing but give annoying people a free shot at irritating authors.
 
There's been a recent update to the FFnet app. The author can now delete user reviews. Let me repeat that. User reviews. Not just anon. Will this backfire, or no?
 
Have they added a way for anyone besides the author to report reviews, yet? Because the real problem is spam being commented on long-dead fics by authors who probably don't even have their logins anymore. Like the CP ad posted earlier in this thread.
 
So fanfiction audiobooks? Why not just call them that?
I'm... not really sure. I mean, it is a lot less syllables, and less characters to type in a tag. I assume "pod" comes from "podcast". I would guess that making audiobook versions of fanfics first came from podcasts, too - at the very least I know there are podcasts that do that, someone did that to one of my fics once. (And I didn't find out for a few months, oops! To be fair, DMs don't exist on AO3 and my account isn't linked to any external socials.)
I do think that referring to fanfic "audiobooks" strikes me as a bit weird, and I'm probably not the only one. Like, you don't really refer to fanfics as "books", even if you're talking about ones with wordcounts comparable to actual published novels. The "books" in "audiobooks" seems to imply a level of legitimacy that fanfic 1) doesn't have 2) most authors don't want.
 
In the SJW art thread I posted art from someone named Yolky Sin, who drew art based on a collab from someone named Jennifox/gaybowser. The entire thing is a hoot, so I'll post it here with commentary. You can skip the boring parts. The NSFW will be properly tagged.

A summary: this fic is another Soap/Ghost pooner fic, with Soap being the pooner. It is a mythic AU where Soap is a bunny hybrid and Ghost is the wolf hybrid. They are capable of producing pups (?) and Soap is drawn with visible mastectomy scars (??). Link to fic. Archive.
Bunnypuppy.PNG
> is worried about predators
> sentences later states that due to them being a hybrid there's 'nothing to worry about'

You'd think the bigger fear would be rabies - and please note that in this AU, Soap is around human-sized. With rabbit physiology. I don't know how a FOX of all things would pose a threat - but a mountain lion sure wood.

The weather is written as being extremely cold and quiet, with limited food and vegetation. In the art, Soap has no fur on his abdomen. This boy would be getting frostbite within five minutes.

Also of note: apparently hybrids are capable of weaving cloth (Soap has a satchel), yet cannot farm.
Bunnypuppy 2.PNG
Yes, the bunny hybrid as a Mohawk. Which would only cause more heat to be lost from his head.
>He's not worried about falling through the frozen lake because it's not deep

Doesn't matter how deep it is, you DO NOT want to fall in any body of water during the dead of winter. You'll immediately start shivering and lose heat. Apparently, hybrids also aren't smart enough to test if a lake is frozen enough to walk over. Apparently it is not that frozen over as he casually walks past a hole in the ice to pick up a pretty rock. Which, you'll later come to find out, is a wedding gift of sorts. Don't want to spoil it.

So, in this AU, hybrids know how to use batteries, lamps, matchbooks and know how to woodwork. Yet they cannot learn how to use weapons such as knives, bows, or even guns - there are human hunters in this AU, and they all have guns. I do not think the pooner author thought too much into it. But since I'm that autistic I will - you can only suspend disbelief for so far. How can a rabbit hybrid know how to work a lamp but not, say, load a rifle or start a car? Or go ice fishing? Or work a generator?

Plus it is very hard to ignore something big diving into a hole in the lake - first, it's 'not that frozen' to there being an open hole, to something diving into it and not breaking the ice around it.

> Soap puts sugar in his food bowl without knowing what it is, despite knowing what matchbooks and lamps are
> Is capable of writing things down in a journal and drawing, which means he is literate, which means he can read the ingredients on the packets of food he steals.

Along with Diabetes-era Soap, the author has no sense of internal logic.

> Wishes he had someone to cook and clean for, as well as get his pussy fucked

What is it with pooners having all these tradwife fantasies? It's like they're projecting or something. It's almost comical how these progshit zippertits all dream of having a real man fuck her into the bed and get her to make him a sandwich.
Bunnypuppy 4.PNG
Spoiler alert: these have all been left by Wolf! Ghost. That's right: his method of courting his beloved is giving him poisonous berries. And food rabbits don't eat.
Bunnypuppy 5.PNG
Human hunters exist in this world, and so do laws barring the hunt of said hybrids - yet despite knowing how to read and write, these hybrids cannot make use of weapons of their own (as noted before). Even Native Americans bought guns when they became available by the colonists, and many were illiterate. This is just lazy worldbuilding.

Plus, timber wolves are no joke - they are fucking massive. Hunters shouldn't just go with crossbows alone. You need a high powered rifle. Not sure why the humans are underpowered in this, but hey, plot armour. Gotta have it.
Bunnypuppy 6.PNG
Yes, Jennifer, wolves have a superior sense of smell. You also have to admire this is taking on the worst cliches of romance fics - they start fucking despite there being no chemistry or build-up between them - but it's OK because it's a bonafide furry fic and Soap is a pooner. There is no other draw to it.
Bunnypuppy 7.PNG
Candles aren't going to be enough to boil water. Bunny Soap knows how to use matches, yet does not know how to use pots to boil water - despite using human tools. There is no way you are going to boil tea with a fucking candle unless you want to spend hours staring at it and getting black soot in return.

I also wonder how hybrids deal with food storage. I doubt Bunny Soap knows about canning.
Bunnypuppy 8.PNG
Ladies, you ever have a stranger enter your house and scruff down all your food and then kidnap you? Romance!
Bunnypuppy 9.PNG
This was considered a 'spicy fic'. Wait until you start reading the porn.

You are going to see a LOT of size comparisons between Soap and Ghost. While it may be par the course for traditional smut fics, even monsterfucker fics, mind you this is a pooner fic. Every mention of the size difference is the author inadvertently clocking Soap. It is a trend that seems to be universal in these stories. Once you notice, you will never erase it from your mind.

Now that my autistic rambling is done, here comes the smut.
let's fuck.PNG
> motions wildly with his hands

Bunny Soap is autistic, confirmed. Nice boundary breaking by Ghost there, reading someone else's journal as a means to seduce them. Usually we call that an invasion of privacy. Not that Soap cares; as soon as Ghost tells him he brought him there to fuck, he drops it. Pooners really are pushovers.

Despite these beings being capable of reading and writing, Wolf Ghost isn't aware that certain berries are poisonous to rabbits. We're entering Bathory territory here.

let's fuck 2.PNG
And that's all it takes to get a pooner into your lap, lads - bribe them with poison, threaten their lives, and they'll still open their legs for you. Which honestly isn't all that different from their Reddit confessions.
let's fuck 3.PNG
> Towering over him
>Lifts him off the ground
> Shoves rabbit cunt in his face
> Token giant cock going past the navel
> Pooner drools because they're going to get fucked

The best thing about this? Hares in mythology are associated with the feminine. Sure, you'll have trickster rabbits that are androgynous and others that are male, but having a character associated with an animal centered around fertility is unintentionally hilarious.

I also laughed at loud at that line, "First time I saw you hoppin' round the forest.' Sweet Jesus these people are killing me.
let's fuck 4.PNG
A few things pooners are good for:
- being manhandled
- getting fucked by big dicks
- taking the big dick effortlessly
- being told you'd look great pregnant (having puppies in this case)

Note the pooner's tiny hands. That's always clockable. And being helpless in a huge man's hands.
let's fuck 5.PNG
I truly cannot tell which one is trans, honest.
let's fuck 6.PNG
Yes, they add five inches to your 5'0 frame. Super tall, dood!

"Gonna give me puppies, Johnny?" Yes, and I'm selling them to the local Chinese restaurant.

This romance happened in under an hour, mind you. And they're considered soul mates.

You thought it was over? No...there's a second chapter. This one is all about domesticity and has the dialogue that should have been in the first. I'll let you decide how bad it is.
gender reveal.PNG
Nothing says winning over your mate like stalking them, giving them poisonous food, and reading their journal - that only earned a frown instead of the justifiable outburst from such an invasion of privacy. Also, I hate this cliché of 'He never wanted to take a mate, but took a mate, and fucked his mate and got offspring because he never wanted a mate." Retire that bullshit.

And we also know that the only thing pooners are good for...is giving birth. The anatomy of such birth isn't really discussed, whether it would be similar to a human birth or a rabbit's - meaning Soap would give birth within a month. I assume going off the writing that this is more of a human pregnancy. That said, there is no indication that Soap ever nursed the kits - because Soap got his tits chopped off.

Also note how they immediately knew that kit was female - there was no debate over gender or whatnot. This author wants you to believe Bunny Soap with zippertits and a functional vagina/uterus is a male, while knowing exactly what sex is in infants. Only pooners and genderspecials can be this retarded.
gender reveal 2.PNG
Just like real life men, Ghost shows a stunning ignorance towards female biology - and his own. Wolf pups don't open their eyes immediately, either. They have to grow, and nurse, and eventually be weaned on meat. Female wolves gestate for around 63 days, twice that of rabbits, and unlike snakes they are not ready to go out and hunt on their own.

Again, there is mention of feeding the infant, but no mention of nursing. Apparently, animal-human hybrids don't nurse, despite still possessing the anatomy of placental mammals.

gender reveal 3.PNG
How come Ghost doesn't know rabbits molt ? He would've learned that from stalking the lil dood.
gender reveal 4.PNG
> Hybrids are capable of reading
> Are unaware that rabbits can molt and that wolves shed
> Unaware of what either animal eats

But hey, the porn is good...right?
gender reveal 5.PNG
So they are capable of using tools for fishing, but nothing to defend themselves or craft clothes. Anyways, gotta love the maternal instinct from the birthing person over here. Pooners are real doods and all - why is Soap so concerned? Just go with it, dood!

> These things are literate
> They have superior senses of smell
> Are unaware of what happens when they give birth
> Rabbits also have poor depth perception, and can only see between shades of blue and green
> Soap is technically colourblind and cannot see well in the daylight

Rabbits have good hearing, btw. How come he was deaf to Ghost approaching?

How are you getting this shit from fucking call of duty campaigns??? Like why are you looking at these military men in your NATO propaganda game and thinking “you know what this needs, MASECTOMY SCARS AND BUNNY HYBRIDS!”

It’s the female equivalent of deviantart users who make loud house porn.
