PET PEEVE TIME!

*waves*

Recently, I've noticed an upsurge of a few pet peeves in fanfic. Is it the fandoms I'm in or is it indicative of the new/young writers on the block? I don't know and I don't care, I fucking hate it, anyways.

I see those as opportunities. You don't waste of time reading fics that are probably written for the Tumblr crowd.

What fandom are you in now?

I dilly dally in a few, thankfully there is a lot of high quality work in the Supernatural fandom which I stil enjoy, SG:A and H5O but I've lately dipped my toes into a boy band fandom and it's rife with "tumblr fics" as you say. You really have to search hard and sometimes that means dealing with those fics with 3986575645 tags or awful formatting. ugh.

I've never looked at Marvel fandoms, but I know there's some really great work waiting for me if I do. I still read HP, mostly drarry, but some het too, there's still a lot of it out there.

Wow SPN and SGA, those bring back memories. I used to write in the early seasons.

The Marvel fics are like the only HP fics. Some are amazing and some are FF.net quality except since they are all in AO3, you can't separate as easily. I still read HP and mostly Draco/Harry, but I think it's sort of a forced choice since it's by far the biggest pairing with the best writers. Femme's fics are still amazing and like 100K each, but there are a lot of quality fics especially come holiday season.

Yes, Drarry seems to be the most active slash pairing still, with quality writers, and there's a lot I still devour from the old days. When I was Snarry-centric for many years, I missed out on a lot of the Drarry that was being done, so I had to catch up on that, which was great fun, let me tell you.

Every once in a while Delta and Ali put something out. The Snarryathon is pretty good.

I always keep half an eye on Snarry, sometimes I login into the Games account to pimp one of their fests. I'm still paying for the Games' website and the photobucket account that houses all the medals and headers and such for the Games, too. Not sure how much longer I will though.
