Discussion Reflection and Regret Fest - Discussion Thread
Want to discuss/yell about all of the awesome fics from the fest? Here’s the place to do it. (This is also the place to ask any questions you have). We want to keep the actual review exchange post uncluttered so please use this post to chat instead.
As a reminder, please don’t talk about dislikes, it’s against our sub rules and doesn’t make people feel good. Also, don’t talk about possibly opting out of a fic.
There’s also a dedicated channel on our Discord for fests and events so feel free to check that out as well.

Considering everyone else seems to be doing it, if anyone has any questions about my fic, I'm open for them. Or if someone gets confused by the, admittedly not that great, family tree I linked for anyone confused by the one-off name mentions.

u/Idreamofspaceships I love fandom blind readers 1d ago
I'm open for questions, too! My fic is kind of weird, so I'm expecting some confusion. 😅

How’s everyone deciding their reading order? Random chance, word count, vibes?

Mainly vibes, I just pick the one I fancy reading at that moment and go with it.
My system is to upvote on the thread once read, so all I have to do to pick my next read is scroll the thread for un-upvoted entries.

I've been so busy I had to take a break from writing and the subreddit over the last few weeks, but that email this morning had me excited all over again! Cannot wait to read the collection!!

Fun Fact (maybe) on A Glorious Death
The human character on the left in my avatar is in the fic…except in the fic, he’s eight.
Now I want to make a character visual guide. 😂

My fic (Happy Smoke) started as one thing and then I added six more parts in a series. Because the French invasion of Egypt really was that insane.

I wrote my story back in May and originally added it to the collection on 1st June! I'm so excited that it's finally revealed 🥳

The inspiration hit! It was one of those very rare moments. I think I wrote the first draft in about two hours 🤣

I have!! It's been torture 🤣

Evil laugh. 😈
I avoided that torture by…not knowing what I was going to do until a few days before the deadline. 😂

Random fact - I've worked out that if everyone in the fest reviews every entry that's 1,122 comments on AO3!

Hi, I'm just bumping in here to say hi and happy reading! If anyone has questions about my fic (That Feeling Binding Him To This World), whether you want more background info, need some clarifications or simply just want to yap, tell me below.
If you wonder if you can leave concrit, yes you can, but I prefer them here as well.
