Hi I'm a reader, not a writer. I hope you don't mind the question. I often see writers saying how much they love comments, or being sad that a fic has too few comments, that it demotivates them to write more. At the same time, it's bad etiquette to leave critical comments for fanfiction, they should only ever be positive. So what if I didn't like a new chapter, was disappointed etc. Is no comment better than a fake praise comment? What do you recommend?
if you don’t like it, you don’t have to comment anything at all.
while (positive) comments are encouraged and deeply appreciated, fanfic writing and reading are supposed to be something that bring us joy. so — personally, if you ask me — no reader is under obligation to give someone a fake praise, because then that’d mean they read to praise the author and that is… not the point of reading fanfic for fun as a form of self-care.
if you like something, sure, you’re more than encouraged to let the author know you appreciate their work (and I say “encouraged” not “forced” or “expected”), but if something is not for you, you can always just exit it and find something else to read without commenting anything on that work that is not for you (unless the author specifically and directly asks for constructive criticism).

After checking your phone multiple times for any company to hire, you felt tired. its been 2 hours of checking, you look at the time, its .. 12:43 AM?! Seriously, you knew you had to go to bed. You brushed your teeth and tucked yourself into bed, exhausted. You sigh, setting an alarm for next morning, before finally closing your eyes.
You woke up at 7:15 AM, checking your phone and finding an email from... HYBE? You open it, thinking its fake, you read the email. "Hello, Y/N L/N. We have checked your photos, and we love the quality! We'd like to hire you to shoot photos of our global girl group, KATSEYE. Please arrive by next week, Sunday at 8:00 AM. Here is the location, we will discuss more by the time you arrive. Thank you. Regards, HYBE Entertainment.".
You were in shock, theres no way! You clicked on the location, and it was the company building, you opened the account, everything was legit! You couldn't wait, you were practically bouncing of excitement, you had to tell your friends and family right away!!
Timeskip, the day came, you walked in the building with your equipment, showing the security your id and entry code, as they walked you to the shooting area, and then you saw her.. Lara. You greeted the other members, but you were still starstruck from seeing Lara, she's right in front of you!! "Get it together, Y/N.." you thought to yourself, before setting up your cameras.
"Alright, We'll start with solo photos, then the group photos, alright?" You ask, as they nodded. Sophia, looking glamorous, Megan, looking so beautiful, Daniela, looking so fine, Yoonchae, looking so cute, Manon, looking so sharp, and Lara, looking so HOT. It all came together perfectly in solos and group photos.
Lara notices your blush, she thought you were so adorable. "Hey, Y/N, was it?" You nod, almost turning red. "Do you mind if i had your number, id love to be friends." Lara asks, as you nod almost immediately. You exchange numbers, and KATSEYE left the room, probably to go rehearse.
You sigh, you couldn't wait to text Lara as soon as you get home!! You packed your stuff, left the building and took an uber to your house. You jumped on your bed, giggling and kicking your feet, you just got Lara's private number!!
You text Lara, deleting your messages, carefully wording your sentences. Eventually, you typed "hi lara! its me, Y/N! the photographer from today!!" You slowly hit send, embarrassed, giggling again.
You realized it was getting late, so you head to bed, to sleep. You couldn't get Lara out of your head, you felt as if it was impossible to fall asleep.
You woke up next morning, to gain a text from Lara. "hey, Y/N! im free 2day, wondering if we could meetup at earth café?" She asks, you text back "sure! at 9?" Lara reacts with a thumbs up. You got ready, it was in an hour, so you had to hurry.
You walked into the café, quickly finding Lara. She waves at you, you wave back and sat next to her. "Hi, Lara!! Hows your day? How are the girls? Are they good?" You ask, Lara nods, "Yeah, yeah they are! How are you, Y/N?" She asks. "Im good" you reply.
You talked, complained, and gossiped. Lara took a closer look at you, "Wait, she's kinda cute.", Lara thought to herself. She was slowly developing a mutual crush.
It was 12 PM, you both had to leave. You took an uber home again, and when you arrived home, you took some more practice photos, to get even better, and you checked the HYBE account since they posted the photos you shot, and you checked the comments as the eyekons talked and complimented the KATSEYE members. You sigh, and put your phone down to continue practicing.
Timeskip, its been 3 months, you and Lara were both deeply inlove but none confessed yet. Lara messaged you, and asked you to go to a fancy restaurant, she told you to wear a good dress. you wore a wine red tight dress, and when you arrived, someone escorted you to the vip area, and sat you in front of Lara. She looked so hot today, you both couldn't help but glance at each other's chests.
"I need to talk to you about something important, Y/N." Lara says, you nod and ask, "What is it, Lara?". There is some silence before she finally manages to spit it out, "Y/N, can you be my girlfriend..?". You blush, shocked, theres no way Lara just asked you that! "R-really?! YES! I'd love to!" You cry.
Lara quickly got up from her chair, hugs you in her arms as she kisses your cheek. You hug her back, tightly. Your dream came true by accident! Reading all those fanfictions really were worth it!! You couldnt wait to see what this relationship would look in the future!!

thank u for reading !! pt. 2?
Why isn't anyone talking about Generative Neural Networks(falsely known as AI) being literally 1984™? Not Reddit 1984. Literally from the book 1984. They had instrument called versificator and by the description it worked like ChatGPT.
While reading I am seeing far more similarities with real world than I could ever expect. Even without phone = telescreen thing it is terrifyingly similar to real world. I knew dystopias do not predict the future but depict the present but still it is horrifying thought.
