Pet peeves list

[maroucya]

 My pet peeves:

·       Sansa continuously calling Sandor ‘ser’ just to annoy him. This especially applies to ACOK setting fics because I don’t think she would willingly annoy him in that time period.
·       Sandor being afraid to light a camp fire and Sansa having to do it for him.
·       Sandor being as honourable as Ned Stark.
·       Sansa

Yes, I agree with the ‘Aye’ thing. I remember when I first started reading fanfiction and saw my first ‘Aye’, I immediately thought to myself Sandor didn’t say that in canon and was annoyed by it. With time, I became used to it though and when I began writing my own stuff, I used it just as much as any other regular fic author. At one point, Kim told me in one of her review that my Sandor said aye way too often and while I knew she was right, I kept using it anyway at first but I now, that’s all behind me and I never do it anymore. As time passes, I realise I'm becoming increasingly more of a canon-purist. I think it's a reaction I have in resistance to all those show-canon and modern AUs fics.

'But my biggest one would be either Sansa or Sandor (but particularly Sandor) having very modern sensibilities in a canon-verse fic.'

Yes, we had this discussion before and I totally agree. Sandor is a macho that don't know much about women and Sansa has been trained her whole life to be an obedient wife and perfect lady. They both perfectly fit the expectations people of their society have of their gender and are not bothered in the least by any of this. They’re pretty happy with their respective roles.
