Welcome to my world. Leave your bullshit at the door.
Song of the day: "El Mañana" by the Gorillaz. Gorgeous, although slightly depressing song.

I deleted all my old stories because, frankly, they disappointed me. However, I have some pretty good ideas now... though the chances are that I'll never act on them. I tend to be amazingly lazy while writing, so if you see months (or years) between my updates don't be surprised. But I will try to write a little more because I want to become a beta reader... Although I might prove to be too lazy.
Things I Hate/Things that Ruin Fanfics Beyond Repair
1. Self-insertion and/or Mary-Sues: You say your characters aren't Mary-Sues, but they always are! And the hottest character in any and all types of media always fall in love with them! They're always gorgeous, sexy, rebellious, and have a dark, deep, secret past. Your character sucks; get over it. And, by the way, I am fed up with gothic/cutting Marys, alright! It's just not original at all anymore, people. I'm less annoyed by preppy Mary-Sues, because they're less common. And, for the record, I am sick of Sues with Japanese names that pop up in non-Japanese stories. Get your heads out of the anime, people! Not everyone in the world is Japanese! Why aren't there any black Sues? No Chinese, European, Australian (seriously!!), or Mexican Sues! Some are white, so that sorta crosses out my 'no Europeans' thing, but, still... Ugh. Just Ugh. Seeing how obsessed people are with anime has made me almost stop liking anime.
2. The only thing worse than Mary-Sues... Authors that say they hate Sues but write them anyway! Especially when they're blind to their own character's Sueness!
3. People who can't spell and/or use bad grammar: I hate more than anything when someone uses 'your' when they should use 'you're' or vise versa. Just as bad is 'who's' and 'whose', and 'there' and 'their'. Too, to, and two doesn't bother me as much, but it still annoys me. And, as well, idiots that substitute 'thru' for the correct 'through'! YOU CAN ONLY USE 'THRU' WHEN REFERRING TO A DRIVE-THRU! Why are you people so stupid?! Go the hell back to third grade English and learn how to use the language properly! One grammar error can ruin an excellent story!
4. People stealing song quotes and using them in dialogue or stealing popular internet phrases: Once a read a story where someone said, "In our family we've had this saying for generations- 'Weird is good, strange is bad, and odd is when people don't know what to call you'!" That made me turn off the computer and go punch some pillows. No... just no.
5. OOCNESS!: ... self-explanatory.
6. Vampire/Demon/Cat-person/Mermaid... you know what, whatever: Why, in every fic I read, does someone end up becoming a vampire? It's fucking annoying. Get some originality, people! I especially hate when bright characters turn all dark and sexy, and randomly happen to turn into vampires. Again, no... just no. I mean, honestly, it's just stupid! What, do people think it's sexy to be an overgrown animal? Ugh, bestiality! See 'OOCNESS!' for further feelings on the subject.
7. People who refer to themselves or other people in third person. I was just randomly thinking about it, and you know what? I HATE IT! Especially when stupid girls do it... Ladies (not), have you ever heard of the words "I" or "you"?
8. Dog-people/Wolf-people/Cat-people (not like the above)- As in, drawing anime/cartoon/movie/book character as a dog/wolf/cat/whatever. Especially when you draw them fucking! As stated above, BESTIALITY! Why do you even do it? What idiot came up with the idea of drawing perfectly respectable human characters as animals? It's not cute, sexy, or sensual; it's ridiculous! Please excuse me while I go barf in the nearest trash can or toilet...
9. Just anime and manga in general. Why are all the leading ladies 'intelligent sluts' in skimpy outfits? There is no such thing as a smart slut, let me tell you. Furthermore, they're all curvy. You don't find that often in Japanese women, do you? And the worst part is that everyone had varying hair and eye colors. People might dye or wear color contacts, I get it, but they're all supposedly 'natural'! Dammit people, if you want all your characters to be Japanese and give them Japanese names, then actually make them look Japanese instead of martian!
10. People who find it their mission in life to include as many Japanese words as they can into a fanfic. If you want to write in Japanese (though I doubt any of you know wnough to do so, and only use the words because they make you feel cool or something stupid like that) then submit your stories in Japanese rather than English. I mean, seriously! WHy is it so hard to get through a paragraph where one character is worried about another without saying "daijobou-ka?" Grrrr. It doesn't make the fanfic any more authentic, it just annoys easily irritable people like myself.
You know what? I'll come up with more. There are plenty of bad writers out there, so...
