The worst thing in fanfic is when you ship a poly ship but there’s not enough content for it so you read a fic with just two of the characters and they make another character you ship with both of them an ex? And it’s not the author fault, they weren’t writing for the poly ship but it still ruins what could have been a great fic because you don’t want them to be exs

#if only my past self could see me…. I remember freshman year of high school #(important note: I was VERY new to fanfic at this point)#anyway tho. I got curious about Sherlock and read some fics of it despite never having watched any of the show #or consumed anything Sherlock related at all?#I did go on to listen to an audio vers of the first book #anyway #adhd moment rn #uh. forgot what I was writing about #OH. right I read a few Sherlock fics #but being the we fandom baby I was #I didn’t notice that one #a wip I was interested in #was tagged as mature/explicit (I’ve forgotten which)#and because it was still regularly updating I kept it open in my an incognito tab #and one day at lunch my friends took my phone and saw this #I was horrified to learn it was rated as such. not because I hadn’t read anything adult but because my friends had seen it #and I didn’t want to read anything adult really #I mean I was fourteen just learning about sex so I did but also really didn’t #this is the worst story I’ve ever told #so I ended up saying some bullshit about just reading the comments #I was embarrassed to admit I had even touched fanfic #I wonder if my friends remember that incident #tag rant #I’m having a mega neurodivergent boy moment rn
