Dear NCIS fanfic writers, I'm glad that you found your ship in Kate/Ari. It isn't my cup of tea, but to each their own. However, can you at least try to remember the events of canon. Ari was a pretty evil guy. Remember the part where he killed her. So, please stop with the romance fics where he really loved her and wasn't evil after all. You'd think if you liked the character, you'd be interested in keeping him in character. Also, stop with the fics where they are both secretly alive. It is one thing to write an AU where their deaths never happened. When you are claiming your fics are canon, though, it doesn't work. Both of them died in front of people who knew them well enough that they would know if the dead person was really someone else. Kate was shot in the head, and clearly died from the wound, right in front of Gibbs and Tony. Ari was shot by his half-sister, Ziva. Therefore, your fics do not work. Please try again. Just wanted to read some good Kate-centric fic, Me |

The OOCness of Suzumiya Haruhi
As a long time reader of fic, I have (mostly) made my peace with certain tropes and cliches that reuse to die. OOCness though I cannot forgive. Playing around with alternate characterisation- that's okay. Plot-induced character development which causes the character(s) to not resemble canon counterparts- that's cool. Outright OOCness- no. Haruhi wants Kyon; both the she and the series have made that clear. It has also been made clear that Haruhi is the jeaous type. Hell, Kyon engaging in a bit of mild flirting with Mikuru was enough to push her over the edge and cause her to come dangerously close to destroying and re-creating the world from scratch (with Kyon being the only person from the original world that she wanted with her). Thus, without serious character development, there is no way that Kyon could openly be in a relationship with someone else without so much as a glare, let alone Haruhi actively engaging in hooking them up. No development, explnation, or even a half-hearted handwave....? No dice. |

I can't take it anymore!
Please, please, please, stop using the word "pre-sperm". I can deal with precome/precum, but pre-sperm? It just sounds so...clinical. /shot |

Badfic senses tingling...
If my time hacking through the mess that is the Naruto fandom is taught me anything, it's that if a story takes place in high school and one of the bishies (Sasuke, Gaara, Itachi, etc.) gets paired up with an OFC, the results are bound to suck. Title: Remind MeAuthor: Moonlit917Summary: Aya is yet another girl dealing with heartbreak. She moves schools to be with her best friend, and meets an incredibly interesting person. Will he be the one to heal her, or hurt her even further? GaaraXOC ( It's not like I'm surprised. ) Current Mood:  sickCurrent Music: Moar ATL |

The problem with phonetic accents (other than being difficult to read) is that they are all exactly the same. A Cockney accent is spelled the same way as a Southern American accent is spelled the same way as a pirate's accent. It's all very confusing. An argument can be made for its use in written canons; if done well, differing speech patterns can help with characterisation (though it is not, in and of itself, characterisation) but in fanfic of visual and audio canons it's distracting and makes it difficult (for me, at least) to call up the character's actual voice, because I'm too busy sounding out the often-wrong phonetics. |

How do I attract these crazies?
A comment I received today on my archive post... (bold is me) You'r a good writer. Thank you Why do you waste you'r time writing stupid and plotless sex fics? Because I like writing smut. And they're not completely plotless, thank you very much. They'r just pointless and uncharacterized pieces of trash that you probably wank to while writing. People seem to like those 'pointless' fics, and I'm sure if they were OOC someone (like my beautiful characterisation expert) would have told me so by now. Put you'r dick down Can't. Don't have one.: You could spend you'r time more productivly writing decent long fics with a proper plot and characterization. Why the capital after the colon? Is that an American English thing? And if you bothered to look at the archive post you just commented on, you'd see that I do have a plotty, chaptered WIP with absolutely no smut warnings on.You'r spelling is atrocius though. Pot. Kettle. Black Why dpo you put so many u's and s's in you'r fics? Er... because they're necessary. Because that's the way I spell. Because I write out names like Toushirou and Jyuushirou in the long form. What do you think you are, English? Yes, actually, I am English. Fandom belongs to Americans, idiot. That's the first I heard of it.Stop wasting you'r time with crappy Japanese cartoons and comics as well. Oh, so now you're telling me what to write. Sorry, but I'll stay in anime and manga fandoms, thank you very much. They'r all about sex, sex, tentacle rape and sex. Someone's only seen hentai or heard the Fundie arguments against Japanese entertainment. They'r boring, pointless and unAmerican. That's your opinion, pal. And if they're so 'unAmerican', why do some series' get dubbed or translated? Answer me that! I see you like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. So what? Write more for them and abandom the Japanese crap, and that Harry Potter trash as well. I've written a total of three stories for the Stargateverse that I've stuck on my fic journal, and I have no intention to write more. I like my current fandoms, and have no intention of leaving them right now. English writers can't do anything right. So Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Charles Dickens, Catherine Cookson, the Brontë sisters, Shakespeare, Terry Pratchett and Brian Jacques are all awful writers then? Good to know. I'll avoid them from now on. /sarcasm. |

Thanks for the Spam?
Dear you (and you and you?), Thanks for reviewing! Honestly, the ship is big but not too big, I'm relatively unknown over at the Pit, and the kink I wrote for this particular fiction was breathplay (which is a kink avoided by a lot of people). So, you don't have an account, and left an anon message; but whatever. I don't judge you (that hard); leaving an anon message never bothered me. But the thing is, I got three anon messages, all "16 hours ago" for the same one-shot. They read: 1) G[...]: so exciting, kakashi was captain, it`s so interesting. don`t you want to continue?
2) Se[...]: wow, kakashi and iruka "pirate" !? that`s amazing, but no sequel?
3) Sa[...]: oh it`s so HOT, hot couple. i hope you will continue and write a sequel for this, please.Um, unless the world is playing tricks on me, this all sounds a lot alike. Now, I appreciate your love and support and hell, I was thinking about a sequel, but I do not appreciate a troll. Nor do I appreciate wank. I do not appreciate your "gentle insistence" for a sequel because your underhanded OMG-HAWT-THX is the kind of stuff that wtf is made of. I now blame you for the delay to any further work I had planned on doing. |

So the person wants to build a family, to have kids. His fiancee thinks that they should wait five or ten years with this. They fight about it. The person complains about it to his friend and says that he should break up with the fiancee.
It occurs then that the best friend is gay and in love with him. So our hero decides to take his chances to start a family with his best gay friend because a) he's attracted to the best friend for a long time; b) he had a boyfriend 25 years ago so he knows the dynamics. And they both want kids so the character breaks up with the fiancee and marries his best friend.
Everything's great and everybody's happy. But somehow it still looks odd because these life-altering news and decisions about sexual orientations, ex-boyfriends, soon-to-be-dumped fiancees, marriages, kids and etc occur during exactly one conversation which lasts ten minutes. Practically a new world record. Edit due to grammar fail. As always |

Music/Video Game Music Mash-Ups
I'm a huge fan of mash-ups and while I was search on YouTube for Sonic 3 Soundtrack songs that sound like Michael Jackson songs, I stumbled upon someone named MixerProductions. He takes video game music and mashes them together with popular songs. He has some pretty impressive mixes using artists like MJ, Snoop Dogg, Leona Lewis and Lady Gaga. Linkage to an Example and list of songs: http://www.youtube.com/user/MixerProductions#p/c/774B9A5F4688C1DE/49/QaKo1MwzvEEJust thought I'd share something that was different. If you like any of them, it looks like he has links to download the songs. |

F-f-f...a-a-ail....
I'm astounded by the number of fail in Friday the 13th fic. I don't know why; maybe some part of my soul that hasn't been completely stripped of hope and love by various fandoms managed to survive after all. But why, WHY, is practically all Friday the 13th fic plagued by bad grammar, bad spelling, and bad Mary-Sues, or worse, all three? I know I'm a horror fan, but not even I can take this. If you want to make Jason fall in love with your OC, can you at least account for the fact that your pretty little thing is falling in love with a deformed, retarded, and traumatized lich with serious mommy issues, a huge aversion to sex, and a pathological desire to kill and defile post-pubescents? I'm sure there's someone out there who fetishizes rotting psychopaths, and could potentially deal with the various mental and emotional discrepencies that would be present in such a relationship, but they don't act like your OC. |

Dear you
Look, I understand Wincest is super popular in Supernatural fandom, and you may or may not know that I do write Sam/Dean and John/Dean (and even John/Dean/Sam). But Sam and Dean being in the same room twice doesn't make it incest. Nor does Sam falling asleep on Dean while they're watching tv. Given that the main character of the fic is Jess, you'd think she'd kind of freak out if she thought that little scene was incestuous, given that (at that point in the fic) she was Sam's girlfriend. There was absolutely no thought of Wincest in my mind when I wrote that fic. Sam/Jess, yes. Dean/Jess, yes. No Sam/Dean. Not even any homosexuality at all. If you want to read my fic and see Wincest in it, well, they're your slash goggles. But that doesn't mean I have to warn for it. Current Mood:  cheerfulCurrent Music: Thea Gilmore - Midwinter Toast |

Why all the Chloe crossovers
Let me get one thing straight out. Yes I know this is a personal thing, yes I know that loads of others probably feel differently, but this is fanficrants, not fanfic reasonable complaints ;-) I've utterly and completely had to give up on Smallville crossovers. Now I like Smallville, I even like Chloe, but... I can no longer read Smallville crossovers with Chloe in them as the main character, which is pretty much all of them. I probably wouldn't be half as annoyed if at least half of them had Clark in a major role, or you know, any other role than as a supporting character in Chloe's story. Or the guy too stupid to give Chloe a chance... Why is it so hard to find a Smallville crossover that actually features the show's main character? By now if I see a crossover with Chloe's name in the pairings list, I instantly turn back. Partly because of the over saturation of Chloe crossovers, and partly because despite 99,9999% of all Smallville crossovers featuring Chloe Sullivan, not even half of them show the actual Chloe instead of Chloe Sue, little miss perfect, instantly beloved by any and all. (the same problem I have with Xander-crossovers in Buffy-fandom) |

BUT THEY'RE ANGELS. THEY HAVE TO HAVE WINGS. D:
I get wingfic is a huge kink, especially in this fandom, but angels in Supernatural? DO NOT HAVE WINGS. At least not blatant, feathery wings. They might have metaphorical wings (Cas's wing shadows, Raphael's lightning wings) that could be something bleeding over from their true forms (and their true forms probably do have wings, as evidenced by the wing burn marks left on the ground when they die), but as they appear in canon while residing in a vessel? None. If Castiel was shedding feathers every which way, we probably would have seen it by now. ...Given I'm only on the fringe of this fandom, I'm probably going to come to find out there's a legitimate reason for why this keeps happening in fic, but it kinda aggravates me and makes me wonder where people are getting this from? |
