Wanted to post this to make people who aren't aware or that backup their books.

Hopefully you can back them up before it happens.

"Starting on February 26th, 2025, Amazon is removing a feature from its website allowing you to download purchased books to a computer and then copy them manually to a Kindle over USB. It’s a feature that a lot of Kindle users are probably not aware of, given books can be more easily sent to devices over Wi-Fi, but it’s especially useful for backing up purchases or converting them to other formats compatible with non-Kindle e-readers."

Robert Carlyle Appreciation Post (self.once_upon_a_time)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by Teknevra to c/once_upon_a_time
 
 

So back when OUAT was on TV, | developed the biggest crush on Robert Carlyle as Gold.

| borrowed a bunch of movies that he was in from the library and had a Robert Carlyle film festival at home (highly recommend!)

Anyway, recently | told my therapist about having a crush on a character from the show back when it was on, and she said “Which character? I Know the show..."

I replied Gold, and she was like, "Oh yeahhhh, | get that!"

She shared the crush.

I think it's a combination of his acting and Gold's power, and how adorable RC is, in general.

Idk how you feel about this, but | wanted to see him more in the show.

They could've develop his character and make him participate more.

He was an interesting character in my opinion and his personality was entertaining most of the time.

Basically, I am trying to discover the best of the best HG fics I have missed so far, so please only comment your absolute favorite.

I can guarantee someone else will say the other fic you're thinking of.

I'll go first: Backwards with purpose: always and always part 1 by deadwoodpecker.

Its on FFN.

I'm looking for fics where-in Harry has a health condition or long-term injury that is a hindrance but manageable.

And Draco, Ginny, Hermione, or any other character of Harry's age (I don't like reading cross-generational pairings) watches out for him or helps him manage it.

Set after the war, preferably at least five years after. Bonus if it's post-epilogue! Preferably not overly sexual.

| came across this on Tubi while looking for a movie to watch, AND WHAT THE HECk?

I've watched some of it, and | don’t even know what to think.

It kind of seems like a group of OUAT fans making fun and critiques of the show but it’s also just all around bonkers.

Why are all of the Fairy Tale Characters in Season 7 different?

The Cinderella in Storybrooke, from the Enchanted Forest is blonde in her late teens and pregnant.

Season 7’s Cinderella is also from the Enchanted Forest but Hispanic and in her mid to late 20s.

The witch from Hansel and Gretel in Storybrooke is younger and blonde.

The one in Season 7 is old and gray haired. How can they just completely change the characters in one Season?

He doesn't get talked about much within the OUAT Fandom, IMO.

The actor did a great job with his performance and selling the story that he was given as King Arthur that made us hate the character, or feel bad for the character from time to time, as he had a tragic backstory that caused him to go rogue against Merlin and the rest of Camelot.

We should've gotten more of him as | was really invested in Merlin and the Camelot stories and what was going on between him and his wife Gwen.

Heck, maybe he could’ve become the next dark one after Emma if they had to tie him more with the dark one story.

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I'd like to share my works on AO3! So far, I've mostly written in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Marvel, but Original Works are on the way later this year.

I'd love to see other fanfic authors to share ideas, feedback, or general discussions about Fan Fiction.

Angel Pronouns (self.supernatural)
submitted 1 week ago by Teknevra to c/supernatural
 
 

It's been a while since I watched the show, but I thought angels were just cosmic entities.

Did they really have genders, or did they just simply take on an identity depending on their vessels?

Castiel said that if a human would see his true form, he wouldn’t be able to take it and die.

But when its just them in Heaven, they are still im human form?

Same with the demons, they are in human forms when in Hell.
