Author has written 2 stories for X-Men: The Movie. Hello, everyone. I love fanfic. I read fanfic. I write fanfic. I review fanfic. However, I am starting an official List of Fanfic Grievances for Airing in honor of Festivus. I expect I will add to this over the coming months, but it's going to start short. 1. Getting Rogue's name wrong. This is sloppiness, because the commonest misspelling is also a word, so Spellcheck doesn't catch it. Her name is R-O-G-U-E, not Rouge. She is an estranged person, not, repeat, NOT a form of makeup. Got that? 2. The overuse/misuse of the word 'smirk'. This is common across all fandoms. Smirk is NOT a synonym for smile. It has contempt and smugness in it. Having a hero smirk during a tender loving moment kills the mood. Here's an easy way to remember it: A smirk is the smile of a jerk. Whew! I feel much better for having got that off my chest. Thanks. Jaye | |||||||
