Re: Fanfiction dealbreakers

[(Anonymous)]

Either don't have the character swear, it isn't compulsory, at all or have them swear using the correct swear words. Although the latter still needs to be used judiciously. Continued repetition of sentences which are a solid 80% or more swear words are dreadfully hard to read. I do understand that some people do swear like that in real life, but something that works in live action or real life does not necessarily work in written fiction. Sometimes it is more than sufficient just to have the narration note "[character] swore heartily and at length" rather than type out five paragraphs of obscenities.

Seriously, I will cheerfully take "$name swore loudly and creatively" every day of the week if the author's uncomfortable with the word fuck or whatever.

I like the "[character] swore heartily and at length" option, unless the setting has some Unusual Euphemisms which can be used for setting-specific colour, but those should not be over-used either.

I know some fandoms have a tendency to repeatedly use an iconic line to death that only occurred in canon once. That can be just as irritating as expletives every second word.

By Andraste's flaming knickers... actually where does Grabthar's Hammer come from anyway?
