What I mean is that the writing style contains recognizable linguistic markers that are characteristic of fanfiction, and particularly of AO3 fanfiction.

Like, here's one example:

If you visit AO3 looking for an erotic scenario in which a character experiences a prostate orgasm without any physical stimulation to his groin, you will find it under the tag: #coming untouched

If you visit pornhub looking for this same erotic scenario, you will instead find it under the tag: #handsfree

Rachel Reid specifically uses the term "untouched" when she describes Shane having this kind of orgasm in her book. That's the term she's more familiar with. Jacob Tierney, in contrast, uses the term he's more familiar with, when he has Ilya say to Shane, "Remember when I made you cum hands-free? Such a good trick."

Keine Sorge, ich habe die Genus-Zuweisung von Anglizismen nicht vergessen.

Im Rahmen eines Psychologie Moduls für Lehrkräfte wollen wir in einer kleinen anonymen Umfrage herausfinden, wie sich das Arbeiten oder das nicht Arbeiten auf das Kompetenzerleben und das Studium auswirkt. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn ihr euch 5 Minuten nehmt, um unsere Umfrage auszufüllen. 

Ihr müsst zum Mitmachen nicht Lehramt studieren, alle Studiengänge sind gefragt (aber ihr müsst aktuell aktiv studieren). Bitte macht auch mit, wenn ihr nicht neben dem Studium erwerbstätig seid.

Dankeschön :D

Count reprints, later editions of the same book, etc. If you have a copy that includes multiple books in one volume, you can count that, but do not count sequels/etc on their own. You can count ebooks and audiobooks if you possess the files in a permanent way (borrowed and streamed don't count).

Multi billion dollar corporations: We make crap AI ads because we rather hang themselves than pay an extra cent for a quality work.

Midsize art supply manufacturer: We commissioned a watercolor artist to make an illustration for every color of our watercolor palette and make it into an art book with swatches.

Now this is the kind of thing I am here for. I'm generally not a fan of "people being good at things on the internet", mostly when it's presented in that tiktok/asmr/perfectionism style.

on the planet Gethen, everyone is both biologically and socially androgynous for 21-22 days out of a 26 day cycle. on those other days, you go into kemmer. If you go into kemmer by yourself, nothing really happens except you go horny-nuts. however! if you're with someone else who is in kemmer, one of you will become male and one of your will become female, and you spend the rest of the time fucking respectfully, because this is an Ursula K. LeGuin book. There is no real rhyme or reason to which gender you become--it can vary from kemmer to kemmer. If you get pregnant, you stay female through the pregnancy and nursing; otherwise you go back to being gender-neutral for the rest of the month. You can get married (vow kemmer) and always do this with the same person, but there are canonically also fuck hotels where you go have orgies with whoever else is hot to go, if that's what you're into. lineage is traced down through babies that came out of your own body.
