A Fanfic Question...Readers please chime in
I have a question and I'm looking for opinions. There is no right or wrong answer here. Rather, I'm tryign to get a feel for what readers think as I want to avoid using things that throw them out of teh story.
You see, I have a quandry. My new love, Bleach, has many characters with non-standard hair colours. Now, reading bleach fanfics, I've noticed that writers are using some interesting terms like bluenet (or bluenette if it's a female Grimmjow) and orange head (I've seen that a lot of Ichigo). Now to my mind these work fine, but that could just be from my level of exposure, which is pretty high these days.
So what I want to know is how do other people feel about such descriptors? Does it work for you? Or does it throw you out of the story?
