Re: Common Fanfic Plots You Absolutely Cannot Stand

One of my fandoms has a character who's forced into a leadership position without any experience or training, and very limited support. It's one of those 'goofy kid turns out to be the Chosen One who will save us all' plots, except that in canon the goofy kid is only as competent as he reasonably could be, and the fact that he's 'chosen' doesn't magically give him the skills to lead his people. He's a fascinating character- bitter, self-recriminating, angry, determined, brave, and complex in a way you hardly ever see in these plots. So it drives me up a tree when fanfic authors give him the magical insight everyone in-verse assumes he should have. It makes him so much flatter.

It also hugs me when people pair him with the major antagonist in a consensual relationship. I loves me some good enemy-fucking, don't get me wrong, but in canon the protagonist doesn't feel obsession or fascination or forbidden attraction to the bad guy, just weariness and scorn. Sometimes annoyance. It's not my idea of a sexy enemy time.

...*bugs me. I will not let that pairing hug me. Pairing, keep your hands to yourself.

I have the second problem in one of my fandoms as well. You are not alone.

That sounds like a very intriguing canon, actually. Mind giving the title?

The third season of the original Transformers cartoon, actually. Hope that doesn't out me.

Hah! Interesting, as Transformers used to be my major fandom. Never really got into the 3rd season cast though, since my particular favorites died in the movie along with everyone else. But this is making me want to go watch more of those later episodes.

I'd recommend giving it a shot. Megatron/Starscream was my first love, but the S3 cast really won me over.
