Yes everything I've found has started to make me think that too. I find the idea of 'reader' fics cringe, and most of the time, the 'reader' has such a defined personality, I'm, like, why not just create an original character outright? One literally has the 'Reader' in a relationship with Ron for most of the fic, in fact there were like 80 chapters in which only the last 10 finally the reader has a relationship with Hermione.Īnd in the other one the 'Reader' dies and hermione, who is supposedly a lesbian and even has the tag 'lesbian hermione' marries Ron.Īnyone know of any good fic with this theme, or at least a good Hermione fic. Gosh i' m so angry, i was reading some 'Hermione X female Reader' fics that had been recommended to me in a group and they all sucked. And there's no obvious Mary Sue-type insert in this one from what I remember, just uber/AU versions of Xena & Gab. I admit to reading those like 20 years ago but weren't they (and the author) the ones that gave rise to the expression 'Mary Sue'?ĭA I've always heard the term Mary Sue came from Star Trek fanfic. This is a must lesbian read!! Lucy Lawless/Xena as Dar Roberts is a cold merciless corporate raider who hires Renée O' Connor/Gabrielle/ Kerry stuart as her assistant, slow build lesbian smut Hurricane Watch (Sequel to Tropical Storm)Įye of the Storm (Sequel to Hurricane Watch)

well written romantic fanfic with amazing build up and smut based on Xena & Gabrielle/Dar & Kerry

Melissa is such a talented writer she even got hired to write episodes for the series Xena at one point. I highly recommend Melissa Good's AU Uber-Xena novels, ' Tropical Storm' and the 6 fan fic novel sequels. Thank you my friend, I needed to hear that It's always so nerve-wracking the first few days after you post a new chapter. I hope you know that your story is more than likely a favorite of many and other than making a “love your story reading it again” type comment, there’s no way for readers to acknowledge a re-read. If I’ve already made a comment, I don’t normally make another one on the same chapter. I’ve read some of the same fanfiction stories over again and you’re correct, we can’t input another kudo. Even though we all know it's flawed, still we agonize. Lol on r/fanfiction this is the thing people agonize the most about - the hits to kudos ratio. I need to remind myself I'm writing this for myself, it's not a popularity contest, etc. The horror of watching your hit count jump rapidly on ao3 but not the kudos count I mean I knew this was going to happen because I'm writing a longfic (which means people who've already read it go back to read it again or finish chapters which creates more hits from the same people), but STILL.
