    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    What if the song is being literally played in the story? As in, the characters are listening to it?

    Your dimension sounds much better than mine already. Is it possible to relocate?

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    That does indeed sound quite horrible. It's a real shame that canon Sasuke went and did decide to make his problems everyone else's problems in the series finale. He only didn't follow through because Naruto beat him (finally, I'll pretend it happened in a believable manner and leave it at that).

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    The producer of the original movies gave all his best scenes to Hermione because she was his favorite character, he says so in an interview. Really makes you wonder why she was his favorite if she wasn't good enough for him without him turning her into a black hole sue.

    Are you sure you didn't overcorrect? Or did this happened before Shippuuden ended and the scrappy heap got him again?

    Good Browser that is not Chrome or Firefox

    What do you mean 'death of ublock origin'? I have it and it works fine. But if it doesn't block everything for you, pair it with adblock and it should suffuce. Now, when you mean "other than firefox or chrome", do you mean just those two specifically, or ALL browsers based on firefox or chrome...

    Invisitext Button Appears for Me but Not Other People?

    Yeah, I've confirmed it too, now. I always use Blackened High Contrast and it never occurred to me that it would be this.

    Invisitext Button Appears for Me but Not Other People?

    I've used invisible text in a post recently, and I've been told by more than one person on this site that the button that should show up to reveal it... doesn't. I've also seen it talked about in Rants, and it seems that most people really don't know that QQ does, in fact, have this feature. Or...

    Master of Wood, Water and Hill (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings)

    I liked some, not all of what the movies did. 'No character at all' is a very low bar to clear, that doesn't mean I don't consider their characters to be a bit too cartoonish in places (which is a HIGH bar to clear compared to what they do as a monolithic group in the books). Also, the...

    Master of Wood, Water and Hill (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings)

    Yep. There was a dog that Tolkien wrote about, called Roverandom. I played a bit, though, with the level of sentience allowed to animals on Arda.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    You can totally have an agricultural revolution in Westeros though. And I disagree some about the industrial revolution too, it's like people forgot it all happened during the victorian age. Industry is a lot more than guns and smoking factories. Textiles will incentivise a certain level of...

    Threadmarks: The Secret Hearth – 2: Propriety Boasts the Singer of Home and Hearth

    A/N: With this, the Shadow of the Movies has finally been vanquished. If I never get back to this, at least this is a good place to leave it. The Secret Hearth – 2: Propriety Boasts the Singer of Home and Hearth "-. .-" Bilbo watched the barrow-wight flutter like a sibilant curtain when...

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    Good books don't get fanfic because they don't need it. People mostly write fanfic when they think something in the story is missing or done wrong. They do it for closure more than anything else. On that note, Lord of the Rings is a false positive. The book is literally the most sold book in...

    Automatically concatenate posts without intervening users.

    Yes, if a necromancy alert and a 'this post is too short' alert are possible, this should also be possible. There's already a 'who replied' button, this functionality shouldn't be too different from that. That said, I don't think it's a big enough problem to require anything done about it at...
