Re: What makes you mock a fic?

To be clear, I don't "mock a fic" in the sense that I post my opinions anywhere or express them out loud. But there are quite a few things...

* No sign of a basic spellcheck or proofread, no effort to write in a reasonably coherent manner with proper punctuation and capitalization.
* Crappy summary, or excuses about how the author isn't good at writing summaries
* Sloppy/lazy writing - see above
* Weirdly messagey, like the author is trying to teach us a Very Important Lesson and thinks that beating people over the head with it is a good way to do that
* Clear signs that the author has Issues of some kind, whether it's a weird hang up about something or a specific kink that they believe they're being subtle about, but they're not
* Bad sex scenes written with hyperbolic, flowery language that make it sound like the author has never had sex
* Terrible characterization - just like, really off the mark can barely tell who you're writing about because it doesn't sound anything like the character

That said, I wouldn't sweat it. Write the best fic you can, and publish. Not everyone will like it, but that's just life.

lol what about sex scenes where a character gives another blowjob and he entire description was them literally 'blowing' on their dick?
