This is a random, incomplete list of writing things that disagree with me in fanfiction.

I know I'm guilty of atleast one of these. The first one ^_^ I usually write the persons full name the first time they are mentioned. But I do try not to start off my fics with the persons full name. I try to come up with a good opening before I intro the characters.

It's just something I have done ever since I started writing.

BTW is it ok if I friend ya. Found ya through Irish_spectre
