Yes, that does sound profoundly irritating.

[scissorsevered]

I notice it's mostly younger/inexperienced writers that do this. Back in my wattpad days, it was commonplace to have moments where an image of the ugliest fucking dress you've ever seen is whats been perscribed for your self-insert to wear.

I've noticed it mainly in reader-insert fics, but where the person is obviously only writing about themselves and not taking into account that other people who are much different from them are going to be reading it.

If you want to detail specific clothes/other shit for your character, PLEASE just tag it as an oc-insert

Agree for the most part... though, TBF, the 'limits fic access to registered users only' part may be less about ego and more about making damn sure the real people their RPF is about can't get to it. This part, at least, seems to be pretty common (and common-sense) practise in RPF circles, for obvious reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not always ego that restricts comments and fic to registered users only, it's often past experiences with trolls (not honest criticism) in the comments. AO3 is better than most places online, but it still attracts them.

[(Anonymous)]

You do you, anon, but I really like how fics being formatted in HTML/CSS allows writers to reject traditional form constraints. Sure, it's badly done sometimes, but that can be true in fanfiction of any kind. On the other hand, if it's done well, it can be genuinely exciting and innovative.

[mishey22]

Maybe they just want it to be like an illustrated story?

I dunno, I haven't ever really run across that sort of thing.

I registered-lock all my stories, but I don't moderate my comments. I guess you can only half judge me, op. Heh

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen it in smut with like porn gifs and I'm like... listen, if I want to watch porn I can just do that? Bizarre.

[(Anonymous)]

In the case of at least one writer I know, with text messages it's autism-brain going "no, the formatting must be Correct" instead of whatever else you're imagining.

[kallanda_lee]

It's your prerogative not to like it, but in many ways I still see fanfic as very id-driven in general. Also some people like visual stuff. So it's their thing, not yours, and that's okay.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind when there's a graphic for a text message conversation because as a writer, I find texted conversations kind of clunky/awkward to write out. The rest of your examples annoy me, though.

Peter Dinklage is a fantastic actor, and I'd love to see him get some more traditional leading man roles too. I don't much like rom coms, but I'll take it, and I think he'd have great chemistry with Lee Pace.

It's very tired and over used, I agree with you OP.

I've got no feedback on the secret, I just want to sigh, and say "RIP Nichelle Nichols."

Horders gives me anxiety attacks, because I lived for a few years with someone who wasn't AS bad as the people on that show, but it still sets me off!

What are your favorite fanworks to make?

[scissorsevered]

I'm mostly a fanfic writer, the written word seems to suit me best, but every few months or so I squeeze out a piece of fanart.

Though to be honest it's been months since I've posted any fic...
