arceersro 1,004 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i really HATE HATE HATE it when people (especially in EXO fics) are described as having a "sculpted face," "a jawline that could cut a diamond," and "lean, muscled body" like seriously i just really really hate unnecessary adjectives lmao it makes me cringe (because from what i see, EXO are none of those things) like this one fic i read lord jesucristo the author literally had an adjective for every single thing like "he ran his pink tongue over his plump lips" "his large hand fit perfectly into my small ones" "his brown almond-shaped eyes looked over at me" and no shit these are the exact same adjectives she uses every single time she refers to those said body parts like wtf it was such a shame since it had an okay storyline but the way she described things... what are the things that you personally hate in fanfics? ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oshawott 406 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 WHEN THEY USE CAPS IN CONVERSATIONS. Like stop. You don't need them. Just say that they yelled it or something. Caps are very unaesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denizen mars 5,911 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 hold on, I got a lot (sorry to aspiring writers) noncon dubcon "their tongues battled for dominance." "the slim brunette" "the older blonde" JUST SAY THE CHARACTER'S NAME first person narration, but sometimes it's okay ooc writing. hating on another character to make your ship look better. when they tell and don't show overuse of bad tropes, e.g. fake marriage, mpreg seme/uke tropes people who don't use punctuation within quotation marks everyone goes straight for teh buttsex (or teh PinV, or with femslash, fingering) and no one ever tries to tease/change it up at all for some reason, there's always a bottle of lube around, but never any condoms or other discussion of birth control/stds. "everyone is gay". consequently, also, "everyone is straight". other characters and plotlines besides the couple and their romance are not developed.

Solarbeam 2,298 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The use of random romanized Korean like 'oppa' 'babo' 'appa' 'eomma' 'eottakhae' etc. It's cringeworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaecutie 3,326 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 idk why u don't like stuff like that lol to me it's better than "he's hot" "he licked his lips" "he looked at me" so boring lol anyways I don't really have any peeves, as long as it's well written and has a consistent~interesting plot I like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥SNS-Shinomiya♥ 420 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I guess when characters are too OC, I mean most of the ships I read in fanfic tend to have couples that have angst moments but I guess there is a level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudeki 991 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Bad grammar. If you can't write properly, you have no business writing anything. Also, unrealistic sex. No, your oppa doesn't have a 15 inch dick and he's certainly not sticking it in the other guy's ass without lube, especially if the bottom is a virgin.

KissontheW1nD 5,731 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 When people don't read my fanfics ^_^ lol I'm so sorry... More seriously, I've read so few fanfics that I haven't exactly found what peeves me off in particular. The only thing that I can think of is there was a Kingdom Hearts fanfic I was reading this one time and one of the main characters, Riku, who is known to be a typical cool, aloof type was "gently smiling" and "laughing" at every other line. Like please. No, you shouldn't change a person's personality to fit your storyline and if they don't fit maybe you shouldn't be writing a fanfic about them. Sorry, not sorry. Besides that, I only remember cringing myself to sleep to the beyond-smutty type fics where there's no storyline just creepy or just generally GROSS sex scenes. i.e. when person1 pulls out person2's eye and eats it mid-intercourse.

snsdJM 15,203 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 that every single member in the group is gay/lesbian and in love with another member, that is too unbelievable. also not necessarily a pet peeve but supernatural shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maknae 347 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Bad grammar.... ugh! also when they use unneeded romanizations, and they spell the romanization wrong, and just when the stuff doen't make sense...I haven't read any rated fics(my unnies and oppas tell me not to), soi dunno how to answer using an example from there.

terrifiedwolves 571 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have a difficult time reading first pov, it's kind of annoying to me even though it's just fan fiction. Also adding original characters or [you] kind of characters, I feel like that's not fan fiction anymore but them trying something else, I don't know. I think most of the annoying stuff has been pointed out already. If I'm really bored I will overlook the grammar errors as long as they don't get in the way of understanding or if there is a plot I find interesting... I've never finished a fan fiction so I don't think I have the right to judge lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatthehellisgoingon 263 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I can tolerate bad grammar because my english isn't good either... and I don't read smut because I know how low quality most of them really are. But I freaking hate those script fanfics without any explanation of conversation situation. Most of them request you to subscribe first to see the contents (they usually have excellent story line written in foreword section) and I never felt so cheated and time wasted although it was just a few clicks. EDIT: I forgot another thing, my top ten favorite fanfics were never completed. The authors usually decided to stop writing in the middle of the story. sigh...

And yes, the day I read Twilight out of curiosity is the day I regret most - curiosity killed the cat, indeed. I don't read fanfics that much, by the way.
