Reading badfic again? ;)

Scotty told Spock his having Pon-Farr was so gay

Somebody wrote that in a fic?!

don't things close up and grow over like when you get your ears pierced if you don't use them?

That's...a disturbing mental image D:

Not intentionally, dear, not intentionally. It just happens when you like a certain type of trope.

As for the so gay thing, not that I know of. WaPo did a story justifying the use of 'That's so gay' in modern vernacular and I'm sick of seeing it used by every idiot with the brain of a peanut.

I should hope so. It would make for a great short horror story, though. Vaginies grow-over if not used, by Dean Koontz, so you know it's going to be poorly written and full of JJ Abrams style 'big mystery, total letdown answers'.

I'd like to blame that on those below a certain today, but I've been seeing that stuff since the late 90s. I remember one "Emergency" fanfic where the author had one of the characters using a cell phone...in 1973. And I won't even start on people writing old west fanfic who use modern terms, because they just simply can't be bothered to you know, read over what they wrote and make changes. Or even know what an editor or beta reader are for, let alone use one. Because their fic just has to be published now or it doesn't count. I can remember having written fics that were proofed by my co-author, myself, an editor/beta and then put it on the internet just to have someone find errors in them. There can never be too many eyes looking at a document.

I think it is mostly a general age thing. Those below a certain age in any time are more likely to be complete dumbasses. It is those who grow older in both age and fandom experience, but refuse to change that are the true 'bitches' in my title. I come across certain authors from time to time and forget why the name is familiar and read an interesting summary. Then, get into the fic and I'm suddenly 'Oh, you're THAT bitch.' It's all very frustrating ( ... )

I shudder at that example, and I'm not a "Supernatural" fan. I have seen bits and pieces of episodes, though, and was able to tell that the brothers wouldn't speak that way, period ( ... )
