#I'm transferring all my apps and stuff over to the new one atm

[catboii]

((I'm abt to be all over my draws soon,,,,,,

TL;DR: my kid's phone was insured, we tried to get it replaced, they didn't have it in stock, they replaced it with a better one, which I'm keeping for myself (giving my kid mine)

story time!

so, my kid had an M series galaxy phone, which they threw one too many times and the screen busted (they're on the autistic spectrum and meltdowns can be,,,, alot).

but this was a lil while ago now and they've really turned it around and been coping well without it and not complaining, so i decided that one of their xmas presents could be us getting it fixed/replaced since it was insured and we only needed to cover the excess at £75, which is alot cheaper than fixing the screen off our own back.

well. it wasn't quite that simple apparently. there was a big faff where they apparently sent us an email saying their supplier didn't have that specific phone in stock, so they'd contact us to sort out what we could get instead, but we didn't get it so we were waiting in for the doorstep exchange, and we didn't think it would get sorted in time for xmas, but they did contact us eventually, and they sent my mum an option of 4 phones that they could do instead. S22s...... or for a couple hundred extra we could've gotten into the S23s which is the latest ones, but I can't afford that if I even wanted it

there was a 22, 22+, and 2x 22 Ultras in different colours......

the S22 Ultra costs over £700-1,000 even on Amazon, and upwards of 1,000 on the Samsung website, I got the original M52 5G for £400ish and I think I'm still paying it off on Paypal Credit.

so yeah. I'm getting the most expensive one and swapping my old phone (Note 10, still really good, just a dodgy battery so have to charge it more than their old one, and the screens cracked in a couple places which makes drawing on it a little awkward bc the S pen catches and the pressure's a bit dodgy in spots, not a huge deal though, they love borrowing it and drawing on it)

I don't trust them with a £1,000+ phone. but I'd be silly to pass up the chance to get the flashiest one on the list

(this also means they get my Neko Atsume save, since you can't transfer it. or if you can it was like really complicated)

helloo(๑> <๑), can I ask app/website do you use to edit your fanfics, if it's okay with you? (I'm starting to write fanfics of my own and I couldn't find any app/website)

There are a lot, since I'm only using mobile version of the app(s) since it's more convenient for me to write on the get-go without bringing or opening my laptop all the time.

PureWriter (used to)

JotterPad (what I am currently using)

Grammarly Keyboard (what I am also currently using too)

Google Docs (used to)

Well, to start on PureWriter, I give it prolly a 7.5/10, I like the format and all, but the catalogs are a pain in the ass. Plus, you can't collapse a thread of your separate work, too, if you're writing for different stories. I hate trying to rearrange them in order so I kind of give up on that. It has a word reader to keep track of your word count and letters too. There are also constant updates on the app, so there are always new features being added, so I'm also not trying to keep up with that. I have the copy and paste thingy, as it double spaces my work and won't italicize or bold them correctly when needed.

For JotterPad, I give it an 8.5/10; it had its moment when I fought with it in the past. But there is an option for you to use the basic format, but you could also buy the add-ons if you wish. I may be biased, but I find it more convenient as you can link your account from Tumblr to JotterPad when transferring over whatever you're writing without the "copy and paste" type. Like PureWriter, it also had a word and character counter, so you can track how much you've written. It also gives you a statistics progress graph (like PureWriter, but in a different font, I guess). You can create folders (within another folder, again and again), which is a lifesaver, as I can separate my works into categories -> it almost works like a thread. I don't trust Tumblr enough to save in draft; the many times Tumblr ate my posts when I spend so many hours/days are agonizing.

Grammarly keyboard is a great way to use whatever app you use to write. Still, the hideous word recommendations are a thorn in the side at times when you're using an unfamiliar terminology or another synonymous that not the general audience knows. Like you fool, I'm trying to educate others and expand their vocabulary; let me do my sh*t. I say a solid 8/10, if for not the lagging it sometimes had. The app also had a desktop site, which I will not be talking about since I rarely use it. But if you do have your own words or terms, make sure to add them, or else this keyboard will auto-correct them for you.

Google docs, I'm sure I don't need to explain that here. No score.

But these are just my opinions, tho; you could try and see if they're to your liking or not; I'm sure there would be others who are willing to help you if they write a comment under the post or interact with you. Suppose I'm missing something or forgot to add.

Words of advice: block any porn bots on sight too, they could be liking and reblogging your stuff with a pfp of a hawt woman. So no hesitation. Also blank blogs.

Taggings: make sure to tag many things related to your content too. Thus, this will lead your content to be more exposed to others who like the stuff you put out that is related to their interest. You can check the "the tyrant" series I'm working on atm to see how the tagging(s) goes.

Taggings (tw): the "tw" stands for trigger warning, so if you happened to write any sensitive content that could potentially be in your series/ work, make sure to add them in your tagging if possible or add them at the very beginning of your list of content. Ex: tw frogs, tw cooties, or tw pink guy. If you don't put it, some people might stumble upon your work and unleash hell or politely tell you to edit and add tw to your work.
