Because I'm sick of reading fics on ff.net that don't stick to the basic rules of fan fiction.
So I'm sending the writers here.

Jacey’s Rules of Fan Fiction Writing

1. First time writer? No problem! You’ve probably read enough fan fic by now to get the general idea of it. If you haven’t, you should probably go read some more, just to see how it’s done

I wrote a list of about thirty of these once, but you've managed to cover most of the main points very nicely.

Don’t write ‘this is a stupid summary’, or ‘I don’t know how to write summaries’ in your summary! If you can’t write a summary, what hope do we have that you can write an actually fic!?

My particular thoughts has always been if you can't be bothered writing a summary, I can't be bothered writing. If you think your story sucks then I'm not interested either.

I don't usually read over at 'the site that must not be named', but every so often for a bit of stress relief I go and leave a bit of strongly worded concrit.

Heh. My sentence about 'write an actually fic' is SO badly worded. Must change that. I was typing franticalyl, trying to get all my annoyance out.

I go to 'that site' when I've run out of all over fic possibilities.

Yeah, sometimes. But only if I have dredged the bottom of every other site first! Pointed anyone at this yet?

So far, 4 people. Not that they're responded to my lovely, warm, friendly reviews of their fics, with the nice, handy pointer over in this direction. Not that I'd expect them to.. but I wish there was a way I could tell if people were actually reading it. Lol.
