Legally blind people have ways to read fics with the help of text-to-speech set-ups. Podfics exist too -- aka people who have personally made the effort to record spoken versions of fics. They aren't as common anymore but they do still exist, people still do that, and the fact that podfics ALWAYS, ALWAYS require the permission of the writer is the problem of that app. It operates on the assumption that fics are simply fun little stories who just exist, rather than works that have been written by people. People whose permission you need to get before you turn their fic into a damn audiobook. People who maybe don't want their work to be fed to AI and who don't want to contribute to AIs stealing the jobs of human voice actors and audiobook narrators. I don't know what jobs you are talking about, but it's completely shameless to talk about jobs when the basis of those jobs are free fanfics that were made by fans for fans, not for someone to swoop in and make a business or app out of it. There is a reason ao3 doesn't have an app!!!!!!! Of any kind!!!! And masquerading this app as a tool of accessibility is no less shameless than pretending that AI "art" is a tool for people with disabilities to finally do art by exploiting the work of other people -- a lot of whom also have disabilities and still have found ways to make art without stealing.

That is a very interesting but hard question for an indecisive bitch like me but! I‘ll try! Generally, I‘m probably proudest of my writing in FTI bc it‘s the hardest I‘ve worked on my style, but some of my favorite stuff hasn’t been posted yet sooo! I also have a very soft spot for YMIM and that scene where skk take a walk and talk in chapter 17 and this quote in particular: “A relationship — because, let’s be honest, that was what we were heading toward — was not only a commitment to you but a commitment to life. To stay alive. To try. And I wasn’t ready for that.” BUT ALSO THIS ONE FROM A ONESHOT I WROTE RECENTLY (For Worse): “It will hurt. You will be miserable.”

Chuuya’s watery eyes flicker up to him, gazing at him with so much naked despair it robs Dazai of his breath. “I had the chance to live a normal, good life with a family who might have loved me for who I am instead of for what I can do, but I am on my knees for you. Is this not misery?”

First of all, so sorry for the late response and thank youuu!!!! So it depends, tbh. When it comes to mental disorders I actually don't do that much research bc I either draw on personal feelings and experiences or the what we've already seen in BSD (Dazai's suicidal ideation, depression, alienation, Chuuya's abandonment and lab trauma, etc.). However, when it comes to physical injuries I do a mixture of researching medical And personal perspectives -- at least now!!! I have to admit I have a love and hate relationship with research. I have the tendency to avoid it for as long as possible for some reason bc it just seems like this big monumental task that will take hourssss, but in the end doing research always motivates and inspires me lol idk why my brain works like that but it has happened so many times now ;___; anyway, I hope this answers your question but if not feel free to ask more and I'll try to answer faster this time!!!
