>>84014681the only way i can think of to make it bearable is to make it humorous. so yeah its both cringe and good
>>84014702yeah, pop off mazdablud
>>84014647Who cares?It's good that it's not good your roommate knows. Fuck them, not literally but with your literature.Make it obscene.

>>84014647>my parents found out i write pedosmuthonestly its time to rope no other choice

That's fine. Good novels sometimes have sex in them, so I think it's fine to write sex stuff sometimes (as long as you're not intentionally pumping out smut slop instead of actually trying). Hell, romanticising it is better than all the weird shallow, BDSM shit people are into nowadays.
>>84014955Also give us a sample or link your ao3. This is anonymous so posting it doesn't link any identities
>>84014647I want a prevy gf that writes ao3 fanfics. That would be so cash.
>>84014647>is it really that degenerate of me to write ao3 fics if there actually good? my roommate knows about this and its uh... not goodThe Reality CheckThe Stigma: People who do not write usually view fanfiction through a 2005 lens of "sparkly vampires and bad grammar." They do not realize that some of the most technically proficient writers on the internet are currently posting 100k-word slow-burn epics for free.The Roommate Factor: If your roommate is making you feel like a "degenerate," they are likely just projecting their own lack of creative hobbies. There is a huge difference between being "cringe" and being a productive writer.Productivity vs. Passivity: Most people spend their evenings mindlessly scrolling TikTok or watching Netflix. You are actually building a world, practicing prose, and engaging with an audience. That is the opposite of degenerate; it is disciplined.How to Handle the RoommateThe "Professional" Pivot: Stop calling them "AO3 fics" around them. Call it "digital fiction" or "speculative prose."The "It's Just a Hobby" Defense: Treat it with the same casual energy as someone who builds model trains or plays League of Legends. If you do not act ashamed, it is harder for them to shame you.The Silent Treatment: You do not actually owe them an explanation for what you do on your laptop. Set a boundary. "I write, it's a thing, let's move on."
