Petty gripes

[(Anonymous)]

A fandom staple fic is extremely well-written, is listed on tvtropes but has concepts that squick me. I write fic without those squicky concepts, and rec other fics without them but that fandom staple fic is still out there being popular and well-written.

Re: Petty gripes

You should have to tag your fic if it's first-person (aka worst POV ever) so I can avoid it.

Re: Petty gripes

[(Anonymous)]

it's there to annoy you.

Re: Petty gripes

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like it's popular at least in part because of those squicky concepts.

I'm an idiot who was making a pasta sauce but forgot that the tomatoes I added would release liquid so my sauce ended up way soupier than I wanted

such a rookie mistake...

Re: Petty gripes

[greghousesgf]

still mad a lot of what I added to tv tropes got edited out.

Based on the thread below

There's no such thing as a song without words. A song needs words in order to be a song... to be, you know, sung. If it doesn't have words, it's called a musical piece, or just "music without words." I don't expect most people to care, but it's such a common mistake that I cringe when I see.

I'm over the character x/reader fanfics in my fandom. It wouldn't bother me so much if I could just filter them out but there are practically 15+ different characters people write reader inserts for and they never tag their stuff uniformly and it's just ugh.

What are your favorite songs with no words?

Soul Bossa Nova (associated w/Austin Powers but not originally written for that movie)
YYZ and La Villa Strangiato by Rush
many, many classical and jazz pieces
Jessica was already mentioned and I love that song but the Allman Bros did a lot of other great instrumentals
Outa Space by Billy Preston
Frankenstein by Edgar Winter (the song is called Frankenstein because it's a bunch of riffs stitched together)
Green Onions
Underture from Tommy by the Who (Tommy was an album way before it was a movie)
I would include Mexican Breakfast but I think that's from an OST
damn, forgot Bad Penny Blues!

I'm really not into instrumental tracks. Lyrics are where it's at for me. But I do really like The Winner Is by DeVotchKa, and Dead Island Theme by whoever composed that. It really does make everything sad. :P

Re: What are your favorite songs with no words?

[unspeakablyevil]

everything by Two Steps from Hell. though technically some songs have words but not in languages I can understand.

What themes/tropes are you sick of seeing?

Re: Based on 2

[greghousesgf]

the big scary lesbian prison matron.

Re: Based on 2

[kaijinscendre]

Fights or problems caused from people not sharing five minutes of information.

Someone falling in love with the enemy and completely betraying everything they know.

Love triangles. They're just boring, and never end in a believable way. The "ousted" party always ends up all like "oh it's fine it was never that serious/i thought of you as a sibling all along!/etc." when sometimes like... it's messy, people get hurt. That's life.

Ugly ducklings. Obsession with looks in the first place.

Requisite Heterosexual Romance jammed into absolutely fucking everything even if there is zero need for romance at all.

What fanfic tropes can you not stand?

[(Anonymous)]

Or are your squicks?

I have over 1000 bookmarks on AO3

[(Anonymous)]

I want to start going thru them and leaving comments on all the fics I've loved. Does anyone have like...a link to, "How to leave good, non shitty comments"?
