I remember someone explaining to me that the mentor needs to be removed from the plot to keep them from solving the plot themselves. All I could think was "If the heroes are the ones who solve the plot, why did you create another character who could have solved it?" The worst problems in real life, after all, are the ones where your prospective "mentors" are absent, incompetent, or guiding you towards suffering for their own benefit.

A related complaint: as a Friendship is Magic fic's characterization of Pinkie Pie gets closer to Deadpool, the quality of the fic approaches zero.

Well, there is Lois Lane and Lana Lang, and I’ve seen jokes about someone called Lori Lemaris.

I wouldn't mind her if she wasn't EVERYWHERE. Why is the fact that she has a new album on regular news?

And yeah, 90% of her fanbase turns me right off. They make being a Swiftie their entire personality and that's... wrong for a lot of reasons. The crash is going to hit them hard.

Kind of based on 4

What characters do you think are never written well in fanfiction?

(Anonymous) 2025-08-14 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Lol only in anime are you grizzled and white-haired by the age of 30.

Also only in anime are you built like Schwarzenegger at the age of 14 so I guess it tracks.

Children.

Tomboys and more feminine men.

I'd also say that while I don't think it is never written well, it is really hard to get the tone right in things set in the more distant past or past-like settings. A lot of fics in these fandoms just feel too modern.

Villains are also hard to get right. And characters getting redeemed.

What are the most egregious examples of characters not acting their canon age?

by which I mean written badly so they're not believably the age they're supposed to be, not characters who are comparatively mature or immature

(Anonymous) 2025-08-14 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah her fans are the reason she attracts so much hate. So many of them have no personality other than being rabid Swifties.

I don't know who that guy is, but I know how he feels...
