Just so anybody isn't confused, your score is based off of how many boxes you didn't check out of the 130 boxes. Just to see, I have compiled the possible outcomes. 130=You do not read fanfiction. 129-120=You've read like. one fanfic and probably against your will. 119-100=I feel like you're more into fluff and coffee shop AUs 99-78=You've seen your fair share but probably didn't try to explore that much. you probably just stick to bdsm at most 77-50=There's something a little bit off about you. It was the A/B/O wasn't it. 49-35=God gave you the midnight hours to explore the deep blue sea of AO3 34-11=Virgin in theory, whore in practice. 10-0=God is watching you

It's mostly that my things weren't on the list, but there's only so many times you can see certain tags in something you follow before you click on them. I could tell this focused on a particular side of fandom, but trust me, there's so much out there. Rarepairs, cursed ships, so many more kinks than you could imagine, so much gore... so many kinds of gore... Yeah, I've dove pretty deep just for gore. And monsterf*ing. I think people are sleeping on that. The test was very fun though. I liked it.

[@dajtoad1]

LOL. But that's why tags are SO important. I once read a mutilation fic which didn't have an appropriate warning tag on it and I was furious. Recommendations/reviews also really helpful to avoid spending too much time reading rubbish (unfortunately, that also means you can end up skipping really good ones too, which is a shame, but we only have so much time). TBH what tends to annoy me a bit is depictions of sex where people have not bothered to look up the mechanics (especially true for m/m) so what is depicted is completely physically unrealistic and therefore not hot.

[@Daelyah]

Yeah, the especially violent and otherwise sus fics need to warn potential viewers... Especially if non-con or worse comes up. While I can handle non-con, sometimes, if someone puts up a fic with an underage character that goes through inappropriate scenarios, I need a warning so that I can skip that fic. I'm a grown adult that isn't interested in underagers in any regard, let alone mature rics. 😬

[@deselbypt1]

@@dajtoad1 also, hard agree on the last part. i've seen (straight) female writers who've written gay relationships beautifully, but a lot of the time it's painfully stereotypical, even if you ignore the physical impossibilities. most of the time they end up with the 'strong, tall, dominant, masculine, "alpha male" top' and 'small, fragile, submissive, feminine bottom' and it gets so repetitive. i mean, sure, there are definitely queer men out there who fall into one of those categories, but what about literally anyone else? sometimes i genuinely get the feeling that their heads would explode if you explained the concept of a power bottom or a switch to them.

I just took the test and scored a 105. It literally told me “You do not read fanfiction”. I’m don’t know whether to be offended or not lol. Even though I have accounts and post stories on FFN, Wattpad, and AO3. And also DeviantArt. To be fair, and as an asexual person who is somewhat sex repulsed, I don’t read a lot of smut. When I do, I prefer smut that doesn’t go into a lot of detail or has a lot of the stuff the list mentioned cause a lot of stuff, like kinks, use of objects, etc, grosses me out. Nor do I read Omegaverse fanfiction cause 1.) my main fandom doesn’t have any and 2.) it’s just not my thing.

[@CelestialBug]

"When a character enters a relationship and they can only envision a past character that has died." "When they keep comparing their past [dead] lover to their new one." These strongly remind me of the one fandom I'm in where these tropes (SOMETIMES COMBINED) are somewhat for fanfics with this one character but I haven't read them yet because I haven't gotten to that point in the series and I don't want to spoil it any further for myself... That being said, I am very excited to get to that point so I maybe just maybe checked them both off.

Okay, so I got 80 when I checked what I actually love in a fic. I got 57 when I checked what I might find interesting depending on how it was used in the fic. Lastly, I got 22 when I checked the boxes because I've read a fic with that tag/trope involved at least once due to my morbid curiosity 🤣. Also, when I checked the "can read smut everywhere", I meant it. I read it while on public transport, on a celebration (new year, christmas, or funeral, you name it, I probably read a fic with smut while that's happening). As well as even when I'm seating/standing close to a stranger, friend, or family (where they can technically get a glimpse of what I'm reading). The only place I wasn't able to read was on church, not because of some religious guilt, but because the priest is actually good and entertaining. Like our priest has a pretty realistic view about things, where he never goes overboard about stuff (like "if you do this, you're going to hell" kind of stuff) and he even does some jokes that are actually funny. Though, I admit my thoughts can go wild.😅

[@ImagineDroplet]

I'm in the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom and am one of many Soukoku enthusiasts. most of this test encapsulates things that occur there - enemies but not, suicide, pushing the other away because of fear of losing them, being left behind, one recovers and the other doesnt, miscommunication should be their ship name, etc. I got a score of 23.

I got a 90, "you probably only read one fic and probably against your will", I actually read a good amount but it is possible that my tastes are so out of pocket that the test thought that I couldn't be reading that stuff of my own volition lol 😅 Edit: it appears that most of the people who got similar scores as me only got them because they don't do smut.

I took the quiz as a general statement of what I read in general, not just fanfiction (since I only read like three of them and they’re all wholesome/fluff stuff or about camaraderie, friendship and found families) and the score was pretty accurate I have to say (I’ll actively seek out a good coffee shop AU). I am interested in sending this to my friends or my sister though, who reads far more fanfiction than I do. Hoping the creators will do one more towards less romance-aspect stories/fics because I’m sure I’ve seen (and sometimes, rather guiltily, actively seek out) angsty stuff from time to time.

[@broblerone413]

i find the 'they don't get to confess before they die' question hilarious as an RtC fan. i read a decent ammount of Nischa fics and unless it's an AU (specifically, one where they didn't die on the Cyclone), there's no possible way for the characters to _ever_ confess before dying. That doesn't at all stop the characters from confessing AFTER death, though. in fact, it's like one of the two most common circumstances of confessions for these characters Also, there's a similar kind of 'seems like a sad ending fic but it's actually not' in the circumstance of the '[character] sits by their grave' one in the case of fics about pieces of media where a character canonically fakes their own death i tend to read a lot of these fics because i like bittersweetness but mostly i just wanna see characters in love
