Dear Mentalist Fanfic Authors,
Lisbon is not much shorter than Cho (or maybe she isn't shorter at all; hard to tell) and only a few inches shorter than Jane. Kindly stop referring to her as "tiny" or any other such synonyms. 'Cuz, in most fic contexts? She's not, really. (Besides, there's nothing wrong with being on the shorter side. *cough*)
Also, a good number of you are disturbingly obsessed with hair colour. Just... use names? Or pronouns? Please? Because I am heartily sick of descriptions along the lines of "the brunette agent" or "the blond(e) consultant". (And poor Cho gets "the Asian/Korean agent" entirely too often. And, learn what "stoic" really means. And "deadpan." And then STOP USING THOSE WORDS when describing him.) Their names and/or pronouns are completely acceptable. Really. Trust me on this.
There's more, but those are currently the most annoying and distracting.
Thanks muchly,
Me
