I only read Yulsic but of course in most Yulsic fics , there are Taeny and I couldn't get into reading them. I don't why.
And I have never consider reading anything other pairings (expects that if they happens to be in Yulsic fics, but as main, no.)
I also read Yulti, most Yulti fanfics I come across are really good! I just fell in love with Tiffany's character in Yulti fics...it's so different from Taeny.
But I couldn't or avoid to if Jessica is in it because I don't read a non-yulsic couple story....lol...

Limited choices...

^ yeah smutty seobb is off limit for me (even when she was paired with yoona), tried reading a few, couldnt stop cringing haha. Sometimes in fics (depends on the story though), I still cant picture seobb, sunny, hyo and sooyoung involved in a romantic relationship with fellow members. I think I have fallen into the "soshi fic stereotypes"

Sunny: the best friend
Seobb: the maknae
Hyo and sooyoung: the prankster/mood lifter

:rofl:

that's just me though

Y'all are my exact opposites, I try to stay far away from taeny and to a lesser extent yulsic b/c I don't know which author is actually going to write outside the tropes. I do trust some authors, however.

but yeah, generally no taeny and only sometimes yulsic.

For some reason, I cannot bring myself to read any YulSic's fics. I would read the first paragraph to tell myself that I should give it a try, but then I couldn't able to get past it and read the rest. I guess I'm a JeTi shipper all the way. Though occasionally I would also read TaeNy.

Thank you very much for explaining. I think I see what you mean about the awkwardness, and yes, it does flow smoother with your rewording. However, I think you’re nit-picking a little on the description of the guns/bullets— by “small, slow bullets” I think he means they’re RELATIVELY slow compared to others, as in, “just under the speed of sound”. As for putting in "Ruger Mark II Amphibians" and the "60-grain bullets", I don’t know about you, but I kind of like detail. Also judging from his responses to comments, he does know quite a bit about firearms—it’s not like he’s just cramming in random names of guns. Compared to other authors of the action/spy genre, I’d say he’s doing fine in the weapons department. I agree that his metaphors need some work; “finger thwacks on ripe melons” gives me a good picture of what it should sound like, but it also brings up images of a supermarket fruit display. I’m personally fine with a bit of onomatopoeia, so I don’t mind "pfffbbt’s”. Although yes, it should be "pfffbbts". ^o)

I understand what you're saying about the errors, but I still find mistakes in syntax for the other two rather jarring, whereas I don’t tend to notice his mistakes as much. I honestly don’t know why. Maybe I have lower standards? :P Do you know any fics that have well-written prose AND good content? And thank you, I'll be waiting for your recommendations :D
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love accurate detail in fics, but I don't like it when it's just shoved in there for the sake of being there, y'know? I like it when detail makes sense in the context, rather than the author planting it in the middle of a sentence just to be like "look how much cool stuff I know!". It doesn't add anything to the narrative and it detracts from the flow because suddenly you're like, "oh, where did this weirdly specific example come from"? Am I making sense?;;

Another thing that's awkward about the infodumps - he says that Ruger Mark II Amphibians "pfffbbt". Do they? I don't know, I've no idea what one is until this very moment. The whole point of a metaphor is to use a completely different thing to describe the current thing, like... What he's essentially saying is, "The Ruger Mark II Amphibians that the assassins were using made the signature pfffbbt sound of a Ruger Mark II Amphibian". Well, of course it will. It sounds like a Ruger Mark II Amphibian because it IS a Ruger Mark II Amphibian, so you're effectively just repeating yourself.

For you, it might be nit-picking, but it was glaringly obvious to me and it really stood out as an astoundingly inaccurate adjective. Like, bullets aren't slow. At all. In the slightest. Describing them as slow is just flat-out wrong, and describing them as "relatively slow" feels too cumbersome and weighty in the sentence. Sure, you can use contextual clues to figure out he means relatively slow without him having to say it, but why would you do that? Why would you choose a word that's deliberately wrong and unfitting when you can just use another one that's both correct and more applicable?

And I don't think I have any good examples on me right now. I'm trying to finish up a few psych essays.
Hey all, Auratus here.

Bullets CAN be slow. But it's a relative thing. I would have thought that obvious, but a lot of people have jack-all experience with firearms, I suppose. It's mainly just physics. The whole point of silenced firearms is to be silent. Several factors determine the 'silence' of a firearm. Screwing a silencer on a pistol does NOT make it silent, only relatively quieter than that same pistol without the silencer. The can, which is what a silencer IS, is a metal shell lined with spaced baffles through the internal volume, with a small axial hole which the bullet passes through. The internal space between the baffles allows the propellant to expand and then exit at a lower velocity and volume. Without a silencer the unburned propellant (of which there is always some) would burn outside of the gun, giving both a muzzle flash AND the sound of a firecracker, since the propellant burns with a faster wavefront than the speed of sound. So it's a BANG unless contained.

None of which helps the bullet to be silent IF it goes faster than the speed of sound. At sea level and room temperature, this is around 1100 feet, or 340 meters per second. A .22LR, which is what the Ruger Mark II Amphibian normally shoots, is a small, light bullet moving about 1200 (40gn) to 1400 (30gn) feet per second. No pistol, no matter how silent, will be unheard if the bullet leaving it is moving faster than the speed of sound. That bullet makes a VERY audible supersonic crack. So in this case the assassins use a 60gn bullet, which is way heavy for a .22LR which puts the velocity under the speed of sound. (You want SOME margin since the speed of sound varies with atmospheric pressure and temperature)

BUT, the final consideration of ANY killing weapon is terminal performance. A .22LR is a small diameter bullet, and moving at less than the speed of sound makes it marginal on something the size of human at any range. Which is why these are close range shots. And it means careful shot placement. Face, skull, the central nervous system, are the obvious targets. With the blast contained by the water filled can (which is why it's called an Amphibian) the loudest sound to the execution is the impact of the bullet onto the skull. It is AMAZINGLY just like thumping a watermelon with your finger. Hollow sounding. The bullet does NOT exit either, just zips around in there like a caged rat.

Any subsonic (less than the speed of sound) is relatively slow in the realm of firearms. That's what I meant. Slower than the speed of sound, floating in an arc.

Hope that clears up any puzzlement. Feel free to ask me directly if you have any firearms related questions. Yes, I have shot and shoot most of the guns I write about.

Have a great day.

~~~

ask.fm/auratusauram
I doubt many people would understand, even with contextual clues, why a bullet would be slow. Yes, bullets are slow relatively, but they still go at about 500-1000m/s which adds up to about 2000-4000km/h. That is still faster than what most humans can 'perceive'. People drive cars everyday, yet most don't go over the 120km/h mark, so it would be more 'obvious' for them to assume that a bullet is generally 'fast', not 'slow'.

Hope that clears up any puzzlement. Mainly physics.

Forever loling at the use of physics to justify a slow bullet but 5ever loling at the use of relativistic physics because the first thing you learn is that scalar/vector quantities are perceived differently based on your reference frame. Considering everyone is a separate reference frame, it's silly to think that the idea of a slow bullet is intuitive to anyone other than the one perceiving it as such (in this case, the writer).

just...I can't :rofl:

A little pet peeve of mine is when the characters are clearly female... and then they start spouting stuff like "Yul oppa" or whatever. I get the "seobang" YulSic thing since that's actually something from a real scenario... but calling each other oppa is ehhhhhhhhh~

And yeah, not a big fan of stories written like a script for a movie or stories where a soshi member is actually an animal (I'm cool with transforming Soshi though, 'cause that's bad ass)

I can't read anything with seobb as another part of a ship. Flashes of 2007 Juhyun holding her Keroro plush comes up in my mind too frequently. I also can't really read Yulsic unless they serve as comedic support and/or the beta couple (like in First Times).
