Yes I know its petty, but so am I. Its annoying to get what sounds like a heartfelt comment, only for the immediate follow up to be "I can really visualize scenes from your story. Can we talk more on >x platform<?" Then they try to take your money.

Does anyone else feel the itch to see how long you can milk the server juice out of those pests? Maybe something like, "I'm going to need to see some proofs of concept before I engage further. Can you mock up a MMC with cheekbones that imply he absolutely understands the intricacies of tax evasion? That's the kind of vibe I'm going for."

Any and all suggestions are welcome (yes my therapist DID already tell me to just block them and move on, yet the urge to go low persists).

I know I know, I said I was writing tonight. Yet somehow I ended up discovering impgflip.com instead and now, I humbly challenge you to a meme war.

GO!

OP: ConcernedEducationalLeader  (User Flair, “Pretty in pink”) 

I (female, senior educational administrator) recently accepted a teaching position at a school that has, to put it delicately, suffered from years of chaos, rampant rule breaking, and a deeply concerning lack of respect for authority. The current Headmaster is entirely to blame for the state of affairs, as are the faculty. Their incompetence has led to a revolving door of professors in my current seat, most of them didn’t even last a full year, let alone return for a second! 

Naturally, I stepped in to provide structure, accountability, and proper Ministry-approved guidance. The school’s inability to maintain a consistent professor over this subject matter meant the curriculum was in shambles. I had to completely overhaul it while also implementing novel correctional methods to return a semblance of order to the classroom environment. I’ve put in the work though, because someone has to care about the future generation, and I’ve realized its fallen to me to shoulder the weight of this burden.

Despite that fact that one student in particular has made it his personal mission to undermine me, and his little friends have piled on.

He constantly spreads alarmist conspiracy theories, interrupts class, forms unauthorized student groups, and encourages open rebellion against school authority. Wherever he goes, chaos follows. When I attempted to correct this behavior through reflective writing exercises, people somehow twisted it into “child abuse.” It was ONE enchanted quill. Children these days are so dramatic. I got no backing from my fellow teachers (much less a simple thank you!) and had to seek assistance from the Ministry itself. To describe this institution as a highly unprofessional workplace environment is a kindness.

Everyone is acting as though I’m some sort of tyrant simply because I believe children should obey rules, respect the government, and not practice weaponized magic in secret clubs after curfew. 

Now I’m being scapegoated for caring too much.

So. AITA for trying to set students up for success?

EDIT: To everyone asking, yes, the kitten plates were tasteful and morale-boosting. I fail to see how that is relevant.

Here are your clues.

• Author has only written for the Harry Potter fandom.
• Total of 10 works posted.
• Some of them are collabs, some of them art.
• Work ranges from absolutely epic to entirely ridiculous (quite deliberately so).
• One of them is a duology.

You can ask ten questions. Post guesses in spoilers!

I'm thinking of a fic. It made me laugh, and I actually got an in real life friend to read it after only knowing them for 72 hours. Here are your clues.

You may collectively ask ten questions, but if you can't guess it after that, I win.

GO!

The title really says it all, and frankly it’s time to combat the persistent misinformation campaign claiming nobody leaves comments on AO3 anymore. Some of us are out here doing the (Dark) Lord’s work one emotionally devastating under-the-kudos-block sentence at a time, and I refuse to let these heroic endeavors go unrecognized any longer. I am DONE! 

It's time to force the world to acknowledge us, so I ask each of you:

• Have you crafted an AO3 comment so delicious you’ve gone back to read it, mayhaps with a cheeky smirk? Perhaps you didn’t even write it, but it just feels very you (so it still counts here) 
• While deep in your cups, did you experience enlightenment and crack the recipe for creating the perfect comment, every time? 
• Do you have a curated list of comment etiquette opinions (pet peeves) that you feel the masses should hear?

Don’t be shy, go ahead and bestow your wisdom upon the dregs of Dramione Reddit (aka frequenters of this sub). Together, lets push back against the dead fandom propaganda narrative and remind the world that we do indeed own a keyboard. 

I’d say the comment has to be on a Dramione fic, but we all know you hooligans refuse to follow instructions (glares at the Best of Dramione nomination form—you know what you did) so I’m just going to be chill about this.
