Pairings. We know them, we love them, we draw them, write them, pr0n them, fixate on them. And usually, we label them. Here arises the problem.

Hey, fandom. PICK A FREAKING STYLE ALREADY.

When I can scroll down a single section's list and see Sora x Riku, Axel/OC, AkuDemi, Kaiora, and RxS? It's FREAKING ANNOYING. Especially the latter two ( Read more... )

A few things.

1. Learn to spell their names. I can maybe understand a typo or two (but if you're having typos, get a beta!), but I'm tired of seeing Axle, Lexause, and Zigbar ( Read more... )

All right, look. When you write a summary ( or the ever-spelled-incorrectly "summery" ) and you're listing a pairing, the best way os to identify this directly. For example ( Read more... )

Dear certain authors,

If you want to put in author's notes, keep them either the beginning or the end of the chapter or both. Please don't insert them in the middle of the narration. It's really distracting for the reader.

I don't know how many times I've passed fics over because their cut said ( Read more... )

There are things that just aren't funny.  Like chatroom fics.  Specifically, this.

Not only are the names really uncreative, it's just not funny.  The OOC, Kairi-bashing, and stupidity are boring.  ALSO, ALL CAPS IS VERY ANNOYING IN FIC, AS ARE EXCESSIVE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!11eleventyone11

I really wish they'd stop the really random humor.

1. The word is 'okay.' Not 'OK,' or 'O.K.' Both of these forms tend to scare me away from a story, and I tend to categorize them with in-story chatspeak. Why can't people just write the words ( Read more... )

Look, when someone says something, the first word of the quote is capitalized. When someone new says something, you begin a new paragraph. Quotation marks should never be back to back. Ever. And please split the fic into paragraphs. Gigantic bricks of text makes me dizzy, gives me headaches, and is almost guarunteed to make people skim over ( Read more... )
