things that make teh asuka twitch.
Sat, Mar. 26th, 2005 22:18-Bashing. (so cheap. So ridiculous.)
-Mary Sues (self explanatory), OCs who are so horribly, pointlessly evil that you know you're supposed to hate them and cheer when they're, unvariably, killed off/shown the error of their ways by a righteous Hero -- but you can only feel bored, because the puppetmaster's strings are fuckin' ropes, the kind you tie big boats with.
-People who use expressions or turns of phrases they think sound cool -- without knowing what they mean or the proper grammar to use them.
-A/Ns in the middle of a fic.
-blatant OOC -- that includes :
--Naruto wangsting over his poor, sad, horrible, painful, lonely life. Naruto does NOT wangst. Naruto doesn't stay down for long, people. naruto bounces back. always. Gimme a fucking good reason for him to finally break, and i'll believe it. But to top a demon possession and being hated and shunned by everyone, you're going to need to get up early.
--naruto thinking Sakura is a bitch. Sakura IS a bit of a bitch to him at first -- BUT HE DOESN'T THINK THAT. He thinks the sun shines out of her ass -- he's got a crush on her, okay? And she does get better.
-Sakura bashing.
-Hinata bashing.
-Sasuke bashing.
-ANY kind of bashing. Bashing is good for thirteen-year olds who can't conceive that the world is not only the people you like/want to fuck because they're SO cool, and the people you hate because they're horrible, evil, cruel, stupid people with NO redeeming qualities. There IS a middle ground. FIND IT.
-wangsting in general -- though the case of Sasuke wangsting is a bit more delicate. XD He DOES tend to go "woe is me" quite often, so it's not as OOC. What it is, is damn annoying when overdone.
-tons of other stuff that i'll get into later, because right now i have to finish my one-shot or Sol will probably thwap me. <_<;;;;;; *closes badfic and goes away quietly* edit: oh, and I really loathe author notes that are just as long as the chapter itself. No one cares about your cute, smartass discussions with your own muses, baby. I also really loathe it when you see that great fanfic summary -- it sounds original and interesting and maybe even sorta hot -- and then you click and it is teh suck. the idea is great -- but the writing and characterization and spelling and pacing and EVERYTHING suck, and you weep at the loss of a great idea -- and then you start plotting ways to do it, but do it BETTER -- except it would be sort of plagiarism, even if they obviously don't deserve that idea and god, do i sound conceited or what. XD
