Dear Fanfic Writer...
Telling me in your author's note that your writing sucks is guaranteed to make me not read your fic. It's not going to make me think, gosh, this writer's incredible modesty is undoubtedly matched by her amazing talent and I must read her works right now!
Telling me in your author's note that you haven't bothered spell-checking/proof-reading/in any way looking over your finished fic, that you have, in fact, slammed together some words as they occured to you then slapped the result on FF.net THEN ASKING FOR REVIEWS makes me avoid anything you write in future.
