Re: Small things in fic that drive you insane

[truxillogical]

"2. Pop-culture references that are not already present in the original work. "

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHUP.

Especially when it's done in a clunky, ham-handed way, like having a character look through another character's DVD or CD collection (guilty of doing this when I was ten years younger), and then sitting two characters down for a movie night during which they will watch multiple movies, each one of which the audience is told about (usually in between another round of "Well, there's _____ and _____..."). Or when a character just has to sing a song to or about another character, and it's some kind of top forty hit from the radio right now, even though the character is a gruff assassin or whatever.

And I mean, I love pop culture references when they're done well. When they're used to add to the setting and not to show all the things the writer is totally into. When they fit the character. Like, if I were writing a Pied Piper fic, I'd have him dropping musical references left and right, because he is a total music nerd, and he would (and does). But I don't need the narration to tell me what he's listening to, like it's a Pandora screen.



"Yea" instead of "Yeah." This isn't just fic--it bugs me everywhere, yea verily it does.
