![]() Author has written 2 stories for Twilight. Hiya! I am a picky reader.I enjoy reading Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Serenity/Firefly. I enjoy a well written tale and people who make a foot long paragraph piss me off to no end! Have you ever tried reading a 12 inch long paragraph on a computer screen? And another pet peeve of mine with the writers on this site are that the words accept/except, wary/weary, and to/too are not used correctly. Please, for the love of all that's holy, look up the words in the dictionary and use them properly! For Example: I am having random sex with stud monkeys and I work too many long hours to do anything except sleep and eat when I come home weary. I will accept the fact that I do have two days off a week which should give me time to finish my fanfics I have uncompleted. It's just that I don't want to right now. I've been wary of the software installations on my computer and I don't want this computer to crash like my old one did, too. (yes, I'm a snarky woman, live with it!) More Pet Peeves with the writers on this site: 1). It's "vial" when referring to a container. It's "vile" when you're describing something. It's "vital" when you're saying you're in a hurry. 2). It's "they're" when you want to say "they are doing something " (for example: They're playing Exploding Snap in the common room). It's also used like this, "Hey Harry whose Chocolate Frogs are those?", "Well Ron, they're Neville's." See the damn difference!?! ALSO, "their" is used this way, "it was their idea, Professor Snape!" or "Their plan totally sucked Headmaster, they all got caught by Deatheaters!" See what I mean? It's not difficult. 3). People, it's "quiet" when you want silence or low noise. It's "quite" when used this way: "That's quite a tattoo you have there, Deatheater." 4). I also dislike underage sex in fan fiction. Not everyone lost their virginity before graduating high school. And stop having children having sex with adults! It's porn and this site caters way too much to you pedophiles. Seriously, it annoys me. I'm not too fond of underage slash either, as the writers seem to believe that someone needs to be raped so his "inner gayness" can be released. You people are sick bastards. I've been compared to Severus Snape by quite a few writers here and I'm taking that as a compliment. I'm no prude or some such person full of self righteousness. I am just tired of having to browse through the muck for a few good jewels. By the way, I don't leave reviews for trash. Why should I make an effort to say anything to you when you don't make an effort to write? 08-09-13: I changed my avatar from Smarties candies to the best Captain John H. Watson MD face ever. It's from the unaired pilot of Sherlock BBC. I think that Watson was better than the aired pilot Watson. He seemed more military and had more of an edge. However, I do like the 1st episode of season 1 Sherlock as well. The unaired pilot was just a bit...better. Martin Freeman, if you ever read this profile, I applaud you. 04-03-14 Okay, I've tolerated this long enough. It has to stop. The illiteracy of the writers on this site is growing. Stop using the single quotation mark for dialogue! That is not the appropriate use. It just shows how lazy a typist you are. The single quotation mark is usually for thoughts unspoken or to emphasize a word within a double quotation mark piece of dialogue or quote. EXAMPLE: "So, Harry Potter, have you read the Sherlock Holmes story ' The Hound of the Baskervilles', yet? The book report on that is due tomorrow!" OR 'I want to tell the man that I love him but each time I try, I just...can't! Gawd, why is Sherlock Holmes so damn sexy!?' 9-12-14: I forgot that I recently changed my Avatar from John Watson to the cutie you see now. I wish I could take credit for that pic but I can't it is a famous photo! |
