Pet Peeves of Fanfiction (much of which I am guilty of):

1. When people, anyone, bash a story because of a certain couple in it. It doesn't matter if the couple isn't likely to happen or will not happen (an example is H/Hr from Harry Potter), this is fanfiction people! It doesn't have to be realistic. People should just learn to respect different opinions and, if reading a story with a couple they don't support, just comment on the quality of writing, not bash the story simply because someone likes (for example) H/G but it's a H/Hr story. I make it a point to just accept that people like different ships and not make a big deal out of it like some people, even if I really really hate it.

2. Netspeak in stories or any type formal writing at all. I don't care if in a text message or instant messaging, or even author's notes, if there are things like 'lol' and 'u' instead of 'you' or 'r' instead of 'are', but seeing it in stories (or essays like some of my friends used to do in High School) is very angering. I can't stand it, and if someone is doing that they really are not ready to write and post something.

3. Author's Notes in the middle of stories. Yes I know I used to do it something bad, but I refuse to interrupt a story with a useless (lol) or anything else like that. Not only is it annoying (I've read several stories where a person interrupts every second or third line) but it also makes a person want to skip over any set of brackets that may hold important information (that is actually in the story and pertains to it, like this little note right now). If there is something a writer wants to explain, they should put a number by the word or phrase and explain it in a separate AN.

4. Keep Author's Notes at the beginning short. Some people will look at this one and say, "Wow, she is such a hypocrite". I know mine can be a little bigger, but I mean don't put replies to reviews and everything BEFORE a story. Save them for author's notes at the end so people can just happily skip them over if there's nothing important. If there is something important I suggest making it stand out in bold and italics or maybe spaced out more than the rest.

5. People who review and say, "This story sucks, stop writing" or something else to that effect. That's just useless flaming. You don't have to like what I write, but if you don't just clearly tell me why and suggest what I can do better. (I know that I make typos and I always make stupid grammar mistakes, but I don't have a beta reader and I'm not really that trusting in other people.) I support constructive criticism, but flaming is the most useless thing anyone can do. Half of the time flamers themselves don't even know how to write very well.

6. People who beg for reviews or only say they'll update if they get so many reviews. I know it may seem frustrating at first if you don't get many reviews (I feel your pain) but believe me, begging isn't going to get you any more. Many people (I know from discussing this with other people) would rather read and review a story that they know is going to keep going and get finished. So to all the newbies who may read this (not many probably) or anyone else, if a story gets no reviews or only one or two in the first chapter or two, don't give up. Keep pushing yourself and keep working. Just please, don't beg for reviews. Once again, I know I sound like a hypocrite.

7. People who post author's notes as chapters saying WHY they haven't updated. For the love of heavens people, please don't do this anymore. Not only do you get people's hopes up thinking there's another chapter (if it's a good fic), but you also get those same people pretty angry when they look at the chapter and realize it's an author's note. I thought stories that did this were supposed to get deleted off of the site, but maybe I'm wrong. Again, I know I was guilty for this once upon a time, but that ended awhile ago.

8. Self-Inserts. I just, don't enjoy them. Some are well written, yes, but most of them aren't. I don't really have a big spiel for this, I just really don't like them.

Writing Goals, Ideas and Updates:

Shadows of the Beginning - Prequel to Shadows of a Dream. My AU of Birth by Sleep, sort of. It's mostly based around Ventus and his connection to Sora, and the moments that led up to his death.

Possibilities:

Shadows of a Dream: Final Mix - Still not sure HOW I'm going to post this on the site, if I should just overwrite the story I already have or start updating it from scratch...but I think I have 10 or 11 extra chapters planned out for this one and I'm altering some of the chapters I already wrote...in some cases a lot.

Shadows of Reality: Final Mix - Same as above. I'm not exactly sure how many extra chapters I have planned, but it's a fair chunk if I remember right.

Into the Darkness - While this is STILL on hiatus, I've been looking into ways to starting it again. Right now I don't have ANY of the original files kicking around, they're on the PC somewhere, but I'll see what I can do. This one is less likely than the other ones though.

Random Oneshots for series I haven't written before...let alone read! Holly doesn't think I can write things that I'm currently not obsessed with. It's my goal to eventually prove her wrong so I think I'll be looking into writing one shots for things I do like, and things I haven't watched since I was a kid. Her suggestions: 1 Harry Potter, 1 Kingdom Hearts (I think I can safely say this is done), 1 Eragon, 1 Pokemon, 1 PotC, 1 Digimon, 1 Star Wars, 1 Final Destination...and a few other things. Not sure if I'll get around to this, but I'll see.

Pictures to go with Shadows of a Dream:

Midori & Crysita

Savior Keyblade

Sacrifice Keyblade

Twilight Keyblade

Chain of Memories Keyblade

Midori Naito

I dislike writing disclaimers in my fics, so I'm writing one on my profile that applies to everything I write. Do you honestly think that I would spend my time writing here if I was getting paid by Square Enix to make the plot line for Kingdom Hearts, or if my name was JK Rowling? No. Moral of the story: I own nothing but my ideas and my OCs.
