This is mostly a writing blong, with some additional ramblings on fandom things and about my favourite characters. You can find my fics on AO3 under alias Makkoska. Currently I'm on the Naruto fandom - again.

There's this person on Ao3 I'm just calling "The Bookmark Monster" in my mind.
I, as I assume many fanfic writers do, except for the writers of those Very Popular Stories with thousands of bookmarks, I occasionally check the bookmarks of my stories as there are these "comment morsels" to be found there. Little notes the bookmarker left. They are not necessarily, or at all, meant for me, but because of that they are often funny or make me think. Occasionally I get agitated by them too, I will recall even on my death bed the one that said "I liked the premises a lot but not the sex nor the end very much" as it spiralled me into righteous indignation. I take pride in those sex scenes, alright?!I imagine, given that there will be no technical apocalypse, that they will survive me, they will be my imprint on this world after I'm long gone.
But I'm getting distracted.
The Bookmark Monster.
This person leaves a single number in their bookmark notes. 3.9. 3.2. 2.7.
2.7! Out of WHAT I itch to ask, but I can't, as there's no private messaging on Ao3 and even if there were, it would be quite odd of me to ask that.
And it's surely out of 5 and not out of 10, right? RIGHT? Not that it matters (but it does, a little).
Why does anyone keep a fic in their bookmarks that they rate mediocre or under, I don't know, I thought that is a place for your favourite stories you want to revisit time and time again. Why would you go and rate a fanfic like that, anyway? Even if you don't assume the author will see it, isn't it a little, you know, being a dick?

HashiMada Office AU that questions the meaning of the word complete
If you were just thinking: ah, I'd love to read yet another chapter of Makkoska's "completed" HashiMada Office AU, then consider this an almost-Christmas miracle! I realise this covers a very niche segment of people, but I hope the rest of you can still enjoy Chapter 7 of Waiting for You, Waiting for Me.

it always shocks me to see their faces so clearly, I was used to seeing them on an VHS that was getting progressively blurry as I replayed it like once a week for about 10 years.

There are special kind of heroes on Ao3, the ones who write Dante/Virgil slash and they write it well.
