 sayume214 2009-10-07 . chapter 1I agree 100%!
Thanks for doing this 'cause I got real mad when I read something like this too. Even worst, her updates were only like 1 page per chapter. -.-' |
 OCEANFREAK819 2009-08-04 . chapter 1 thz iz lyk, teh worstest fic evur!
"this is like, the worst fic ever!"
OMG I LOVE IT! I totally agree with the 11 points you put up. I mean, I've read probably 3 fanfics, that are full of CRAP!
Thanks for getting your point across. I'm telling a bunch of people to read this FanFic!
GrEaT wOrK!

 Emily 2009-07-09 . chapter 1 Yes, that was a VERY bad fanfic, but you certainly got your point across! Thank you for addressing these issues; they make me mad, too. |
 Prince Unlikely 2009-06-18 . chapter 1 Hah. Mean, but...*grins* what can I say? I'm a grammarnazi. I should be ethical about this (AKA "not everyone can write as well as you can, be nice") but I won't be--how hard is it, really, to learn to spell? Unless one happens to have the intelligence of a senile blackfly, in which case one should not be writing at all...^_^'
:) Kudos. |
 Techno-Poet 2009-05-25 . chapter 1Thank you for writing some sense! I totally agree... I wish that some people every once in a while would bother to spell check, or check the facts in the book, or write paragraphs... It's even worse when a story has a decent plotline and writing style, but they don't spell check, and it makes it difficult to read it!
Thanks for writing this, it really makes a very good point!
I think this book series has a weird effect on people, though, because I started trying to write better, after I read the YW books... I don't know what's up with that...
Anyways, this 'story' is amazing stuff! |
 fLuFfL0V3R 2009-02-25 . chapter 1AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD Oh, that made me laugh so hard! XD Nicely done! |
 The Hecateae 2009-02-09 . chapter 1Oh, good idea. I think the only thing you left out was the fact checking according to the series, cause Callahan was spelled wrong... which should ** people off.
(...and Internet short form, but that wasn't that big of a problem back in 2002. There's no need to point out crappy characterization and plot.)
Thank you. |
 Artemis J. Halk 2008-12-15 . chapter 1I love you.
In a completely non-romantic sense, of course!
My biggest pet peeve- random sections of bolding or italicizing, which is tied with continuous and random interruptions by the author. Another one is when the author says "It's my first fic- please review!" or when they say something like "I'm not very good a summaries" in the summary. That is so annoying, I just want to shoot myself. A good one is random centering of the entire chapter.
I could go on... but I don't like to ramble. More people should do stories like this... Or maybe you could do more in different sections... (Hint hint)
Much luv, AJ Halk |
 tinabobina 2008-08-07 . chapter 1 The funny thing about this story is that some fics are actually this terrible! Many are, in fact. I wonder if there are ten-year-olds writing in here because really... |
 Second daughter of Eve 2007-10-26 . chapter 1Yeah, I've seen some like that. And to talk about 10, I think their spell checks committed suicide.

 Starling Blue 2007-01-17 . chapter 1THANK YOU. I wrote something like this once, but it was just a general story, and I had so much fun mocking the bad writers...{dreamy eyes} At any rate, this was so needed. All us peoples in the Literacy Club of Canada appreciate it. ^^ |
 Froggyh 2006-06-12 . chapter 1Thank you so much for this! It really bothers me when there is consistent bad grammar in a fic. Yes, I know no one is perfect (I recently submitted an essay with 'to' instead of 'too' by accident), but sometimes it makes a story near impossible to read when there is poor grammar in it. |
 Yay-Ness 2006-04-22 . chapter 1Can I just say that I totally agree with you on the stuff that annoys you. It annoys me too. |
 Tarrah 2006-03-17 . chapter 1 I love it! I totally agree with your list of annoying things. Hopefully your comments will teach some people how to write. |
 Anne McCrea 2006-03-01 . chapter 1 You seriously ought to read some of the fics in the Harry Potter section. I mean, the storylines are good, but the way they're written...Urgh. And then the authors say things in their summaries like "Okay, I know the grammar and spelling stinks, but read it anyway because I don't have time to go back and fix it all." HELLO! That's what a beta is for, folks! And preferrably, get one who is an English major and actually knows the various rules! |
