    Nothing beyond the gold standard Lord of the Rings. Most of the stuff I learned that I consider useful doesn't originate in academia, or books more generally. I did like The Three Musketeers novel though.

    For SV is different, I agreed with a quest character once that she should've suffered the full consequences for treason. For this, a mod gave me a 'don't be hateful' infraction, which arose such disgust with their moderation within me that I told them to stick it, knowing they'd ban me. It was...

    Web novel sites have no problem with me though, afaik. SB and SV are discussion boards with subforums for stories, but it's not the same thing.

    I suspect it's the mods slandering me as a writer of CP (that was their bogus reason for my ban) for the high crime of poking holes into one of their rule changes one time. If you believe there's any logic to their actions at all, anyway. What, people talk about me there? Color me shocked.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Why are you bringing other settings into this? I only said DxD is a horror setting and not seeing that acknowledged is the hated fanfic trope I chose to mention in the hated fanfic tropes thread. What other settings are like is completely irrelevant.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I'm not asking for character existential spirals (at least not interminable ones), I'd enjoy seeing authors treat the setting appropriately.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I was also used to a toothake for a few months during high school.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I agree with everything you said in this post, but I'd still like to say that 'gambling' might have its place if the author is a bleeding heart. Or just isn't sure how a certain plot development should happen. For example, say a big war is taking place, and he has a bunch of fleshed out...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Jesus wept, I did no such thing, I expressed praise for your choice of portrayal, but here you are biting my head off anyway. Since confirmation bias is the rule of the day, I'll be leaving. Acting like this was some great favor, no, sacrifice, are you serious?

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    This has exactly zero meaning to me, sorry. Either way, in the end, 'guy has game' is hardly a crime.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    I'm glad you chose not to let that color your portrayal of him then.
