Thank you to all of you who have taken a few seconds of your precious lives to visit my profile. But there's nothing much about me. But here's my list of hates.

1. Improper grammar/spelling

2. Corny sayings/situations/use of grammar(from my point of view if you'll excuse me)

3. A half-developed plot

4. Copied storyline, character personalities, etc.

5. Author's notes in the middle of the story

6. Long, tedious, pointlessly annoying author's notes

7. Flamers

In the CCS section:

1. Pure/angelic/innocent/untainted/white (not referring to race)/(and above all) HELPLESS Sakura. It's pathetic. It's disgusting. It's hard on the eyes and the brain.

2. Steroided (which is a crueler way of saying extremely muscular)/"broad-shouldered"/"broad chested"/"deep" and/or "manly" voiced Syaoran or Eriol. Just...take your dream guy and walk away with him. Please.

In the Teen Titans section:

1. Failed impersonation of Starfire. Need I elaborate?

2. "Muscular" Beast Boy. Again, need I elaborate? Picture it.

And then we have the lines that I detest in general. Such as,

"She put her head on his broad chest and he leaned his against her shoulder" or any variation of that. The poor said male would have a horrible neck cramp in the morning, don't you think?

And we can't forget corny plots in general. Or people who add something in and then say something later that totally contradicts it. Or crappy endings. Those ruin the whole damn story.

I happen to dislike a lot of things that go on here.

But of course, one thing that I can safely say I hate (stress HATE), is people who read stories and add them onto favourites or alert, but don't bother reviewing. It really doesn't do much for the author if you read and don't give your opinion. If you're an author, you want people to review. If you're an author and you want people to review but you yourself don't review others' stories, you're just a hypocrite to the nth degree.

As well, you can usually tell what I think of your story by then length of my review. I try to give constructive criticisms; things that will actually help the author improve on their story. Therefore, if you get a

Long review: over 4 paragraphs of critiques, not including my first and last fished-for complimenting paragraphs--fix it up. Fast.

Short review:one or two paragraphs of compliments--excellently done, and nothing further need be said.

Mid-length reivew: 3 paragraphs--could definitely be better, but not quite as bad as it could be.

Extremely short review: one paragraph of nothing much--it's so bad I don't even want to give my harsh opinion of it.

I've given two of the last ones thus far. I hope I won't have to give any more.

On a lighter note, categories that I will be reading and (hopefully) writing on are:

1. Card Captor Sakura

2. Teen Titans

3. Orson Scott Card

4. His Dark Materials trilogy

More will be added eventually. As soon as I can get around to remembering what they are.

And about my favourites list, I only add the best. Stories that are true masterpieces, and not some random junk thrown together that still gets good reviews by people who are "too nice" to say otherwise.

I may not be able to write the perfect story, but I have a damn good idea of what a perfect story should be. And so far, out of all the stories I've read, I think I've only found one.

Enjoy.
