We are about 6 months until season 2 so it begs the never ending question, “to read or not to read?”

Season 2 is coming “sometime in April 2027.” As a chronic rereader and a pre show fan I still find it fascinating those who haven’t read the books so now that we are half a year until season two what’s everyone’s thoughts.

Share which you have read and what you would advise others to read in anticipation.

Share why you haven’t read and won’t.

Share why everyone should read, reread, and annotate every single book in its entirety so much it practically consumes your entire brain. Just me?

I want to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions!

Using automations to block badly titled posts

Hi! One of the subs I run has an issue with people leaving out information in post titles, is there a regex code for automations that can block if someone puts only specific phrases with no other information but if it has additional words it would be allowed. I debated putting a block via number of characters but some people will frequently put "please help me find this!" which tells you nothing and some will put "ISO [specific thing]" where the prior should be removed but wouldn't hit and the later will hit but shouldn't be removed. I have a list of all repeat versions of "help me!" but blocking just "help me!" or the others isn't then allowed if say someone writes "help me find [specific thing]"

I would rather use automations over automod so they can update the title right then and there and not have a back and forth.

Is there any way to do this? Thank you

Need some caretaking fics

I’m having a chronic health flair up and just want to read some sweet care taking fics. I don’t care the specifics, someone is sick, injured, drunk off their ass, whatever. I also don’t care which couple and who is the caretaker and who is the “patient” just want some cute blissy caretaking.

Can automod automatically link to a parent comment and sticky itself?

On my sub we have a fair amount of people searching for something, they change the flair from searching to found by commenting “found!” Is there a way auto mod could make a sticked post and link back to the comment with the found content? Basically just “this was found heres the comment with the information.” So people don’t have to scroll a bunch to find the answer.

We have spotlight if that can somehow come into play also open to dev apps if automod can’t handle alone.

How to handle inactive mods

I have a problem with inactive mods who just do nothing, everyone I ask if they want to stay active they respond “yes!” They haven’t commented in the community in over a year, I mod solo, thankfully it’s not a very active sub. They do help when I ask but it’s frustrating.

I have another issue where a mod isn’t modding or responding to me or other mods but comments and participates in the sub occasionally.

I’m debating when I bring on other mods adding in a policy like thing that if they go inactive without communication for x number of weeks they will be removed as mod. But that feels to much like a “this is a job not a fun thing.”

How do people handle this? I’m top mod in all communities.

Cherrydialectic’s statement on the status of ‘the practical (accidental) acquisition of a husband’

As you need an account to view threads their statement is in full in the screenshots, link here.

Please remember Reddiquette, this is not an invitation to engage on threads; please simply chat about it here. Do not send them any hate, demands, etc. writers will always come first.

We do not support the sharing of privated or removed fics unless the writer has stated they are okay with it. Cherry has stated they are not, so we will not host any discussion on sharing.

This post is flaired ‘centaurs team meeting’ meaning only established contributors to the sub will be able to comment freely, others can comment but it will need mod review to show, we will all be monitoring and working quickly but please give us time to review. This decision was made as we have had multiple post about this from brand new accounts in the half hour. New users please familiarize yourself with our rules before commenting.

We wish cherry well and hope they make the work available again when they are comfortable to do so.

Thank you

Fic is back up, https://archiveofourown.org/works/84170661/chapters/221958861?view\_adult=true

Additional statement;

have at it. its up, its unedited, its absolutely not ai, believe what you will. i posted a part of my ellipsus history, and im not gonna spend more time putting together screenshots of my innocence because this is reaching nuclear levels of insanity.
everyone really needs to take a step back and reevaluate their thoughts and behavior about all this.

yes, it IS not that deep because it's fanfiction, and yes, it IS that deep, because (hi!) i am a human being on the other end of this, with just as many feelings as you! that actually do get hurt. thick skin or not, this IS something i put a lot of effort and pieces of myelf in, so yeah, seeing it scrutinized, does hurt me. then seeing it turn from scrutinizing my work to then scrutinizing myself and character? yeah, sucks ass even more.
