Achievement Unlocked: Things that will make me back button from your fic

Jun 21, 2011 10:14

I've been meaning to do this for ages, just to let off some steam (especially since fanficrants is far too full of trolls, which is their loss, I suppose), but I never got around to it. And now I have! Huzzah?

Top ten things that will probably make me not read your Who fic.

Well, any fic, but most of them are Whoniverse specific. They're really ( Read more... )

I'd assumed you just didn't like my shippy style. I can't say I haven't committed any of these crimes - I get bored with speech modifiers; and I know for a fact I didn't name the human Doctor John Smith (again for boredom reasons). Oh well....

I'm not much of a schmoopy happy fan, no, but it's ship preferences, so it's not like it's just you or anything. *snuggles you* And we've all done some of those things, after all. Did you see the part where I did (at least) one too? *hangs head in shame* I've just been seeing too many of these in too many fics, and if I didn't vent a bit my head was going to explode all over some poor kid's fic and then I'd feel pretty terrible about it ( ... )

LOL because I find that I agree and those awful cliches are silly :P

That's because you're a clever precious. ♥

Ok... just to be safe, if I wanna post any fics for Doctor Who again, I'll just send them to you. :D

On number 6, sometimes my word program does weird shit and I'll show someone and they'll go "God, you suck at english."

Oh, what's your view on England English vs American English. Me? I hate 'Mom'.

Lol! It had nothing to do with you, mind, but if you DO want me to look at fic, you know I shall.

I know, right? I've had this issue with my laptop lately where I'll hit the space key once but it'll think I hit it twice, so I'll have double spacing in the middle of a sentence. So frustrating!

Well I'm American, so I always say Mom, but I almost exclusively type Mum. I've sort of got this bastardized version of English going on where I double up all my consonants (travelling, worshipping, etc.), but I can't stand the extra u in words (color, favor, etc.). I'm just weird like that.
