What are some of your fic pet peeves? In regards to posting or tropes or wahtever.

Excessive tagging in any form. It's the single worst bad habit anyone in fandom can have.

No paragraph breaks, that's the biggest one, or dialogue being dumped into a paragraph without having a new line break. I can mentally edit iffy grammar/spelling in my head or a dialogue choice I think is OOC or what have you, but if a fic is just a wall of text I can't focus on it and I check out.

Dom/sub just being used as top/bottom, which is most D/s I come across and why I find 90% of it ungodly boring.

Specific to c-drama/c-novel fandom, capitalising every syllable of a Pinyin word. Like, Wei WuXian, or ChangAn.

It's non-standard orthography and doesn't tell readers anything useful about meaning or pronunciation. And it really annoys me to look at it.

(Protip, if you've got a syllable starting with a vowel, you can stick an apostrophe in front to make clear where things stop and start. Like, Chang'an.)

Putting down other ships to build yours up. It's annoying in a tweet or whatever but in a fic's notes it's just an instant backbutton. If I'm reading your fic, I'm interested in your ship, but if you go 'round insulting other 'ships in your notes, I'm out.

First person POV. I just can't do it. And in a tiny fandom I used to read fic for, the most prolific writer wrote in first person POV.

A summary that's as long or longer than the actual fic. Usually it involves explaining relationships and I'm like "your word count should be longer if that's your fic summary..."

Re: Based on 8

(Anonymous) 2022-12-24 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
People writing dialogue with dashes instead of quotation marks. I've even run into a fic recently that mixed up the two in the same line... -What do you mean?" he said.

NO. STOP. IT.

Fic where a character has a kid when it's completely OOC for them.

Re: Based on 8

(Anonymous) 2022-12-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Fics that are all in lowercase letters with no punctuation, so it's just paragraphs of run-on sentences. Why would anyone do that?

Crossover fanfics. If there's one thing that FFnet got over AO3 is that they separated the crossover fics from the regular ones.

Although its not even the directly crossover fics that bug me (For example: a AU involving both Stars Wars and Pokemon) - but its the fics that will list a stupid amount of fandoms into one because that's where they're keeping their oneshots or doing a multifandom challenge.

Weekend Plans?

[personal profile] kaijinscendre 2022-12-23 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What is everyone doing this holiday weekend?

I am driving to my sister's tomorrow for us to do an early Christmas exchange. Not sure what we'll be eating. We won't actually be doing much on Christmas Day. And Monday I'll be driving home. Hopefully the back roads are good by then.

I'll be drawing cats all night and into tomorrow morning to hand out as last minute presents for my cat owner friends.

Apparently making use of my PS5. Already downloaded some Rock Band 4 DLC, am currently debating which server to join in FFXIV (free trial, though the fact the whole thing is hugely on sale is what prompted it, I just need to find out where my friends are), while discussing doing some co-op TMNT games with another friend.

Also hopefully posting chapter 18 of the current fic monstrosity and cuddling a bun-bun a lot since she seems to be feeling better after spending a couple days battling stasis. (I'm so glad she pulled through, she's 8 and a half and I know she can't be with me forever, BUT.)

Tomorrow I hope to clean but I always say that and it doesn’t happen. Sunday I’m working eight hours and maybe I’ll have some time to clean after that.

In between I’m going to be watching K-dramas and possibly writing fanfiction.

Tory Lanez found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion

[personal profile] hey_hey_hey 2022-12-24 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
He is facing up to 20 years in prison and deportation to Canada.

I'm glad that after a bunch of hip hop blogs, wannabe influencers and male rappers smeared Megan, she is getting the justice she deserves.
