God save me from bad fanfic. Or better, bad language.
I know, it´s my fault for reading this stuff in the first place. But I generally know what to avoid and which signs to look out for and that mostly works out well for me.
But what all the warnings, summaries and author´s notes in the world can´t save me from are typos and bad grammar.
Seriously, I´m NOT a native speaker - if I notice all those mistakes, how do they feel to everyone else?
It just really annoys me - nobody is perfect and there´s always a typo or an error that you miss. But if I stumble upon one more story with all the commas and apostrophes in the wrong places I´ll just lose it. I read those stories for entertainment and to, you know, improve my English.
It ruins the story even more for me if the plot, the characters and the general writing style are pretty decent - only to be delivered with such horrible typos that it´s not even funny anymore.
I hate it when I discover a new fandom - somehow it seems to be my fate to always stumble upon bad fanfictions at first. I really want my Weiss Kreuz back where I know exactly what high quality to expect from all the awesome writers.
New fandoms can be so tricky.
