Re: What makes you mock a fic?

(Anonymous) 2020-04-05 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Bad characterization (disrespectful of characters/motives, ignoring established character development, not bothering with any character development when forcing character into crazy situations, forcing character into role for the sake of filling a role regardless of who or how they are)

Bad plot twist execution (dumping everything on the reader at the last minute, or pulling random things out of your ass otherwise your story will not work)

Lazy ass proofreading/grammar/spelling (I mean when you're perfectly capable of checking your work and nothing would keep you from doing so.)

Trashing the "other" love interest for the sake of making your OTP look good.

But honestly, if you put a disclaimer or something ("Hey, this is a high school AU and the cast is written like counterparts to XYZ Teen Show, and there's plenty of time travel and Jane Doe being a jealous bitch!") then I'm more likely to either keep that in mind while reading, or just move on to another fic.

And obviously, nothing is 100% perfect. Typos happen, and despite your best research, you might write something inaccurate. I tend to mock things that are done more on purpose. And even lately, I'm too lazy to do that.
