Hello there. I'm YourAverageAvenger. You may call me Avenger or Average. I really don't care.

There's not much I can say about myself (well, I don't really intend to tell you personal things, like my name or my other account that I use for posting stories and stuff), but there are quite a few things that you need to know about me.

I have another account that I use for posting stories, forums, and other stuff, but I won't tell my pen-name. Why do you think I made this account?

This account is only for the purposes of CC-ing (CC means constructive criticism, in case any of you don't know) or when your fic is really, really, really crappy, flaming. :)

I decided to make this account because of two reasons, but mainly, it's because of reason b.

a) I have a split personality. I'm - somehow - nice and cheerful sometimes, but I also am mean and... cold, dark, whatever. And so, I decided to make this account for my "other" side. I

guess it's not so hard to guess which side is that, huh?

b) To CC or to flame fics. It depends on my mood or mostly, your fic. Also, I wouldn't want any revenge flames in my fics so I made this account.

Reasons Why I CCed or Flamed Your Fic:

I really don't want to give you the reasons why I flamed or CCed your fic, because if you're human, you'd know. I mean, who doesn't know the difference between a good story and abad one? Who doesn't know if they can spell? Who doesn't know that they have bad grammar? Well, if you're an idiot, then you wouldn't know those things... Fine. A really, really youngchild wouldn't, but since you're supposed to be at least thirteen for FanFiction, you should know these things.

Again, I don't want to give or remind you the reasons why I CC or flame, but I'll do it anyway.

-The characters are OOC (OOC means out of character)

For example, Annabeth cried because she's jealous of Rachel. Or, Annabeth puts make-up on because Percy asked her out.

The reasons why she's OOC: Annabeth wouldn't cry because she's jealous of Rachel. Sure, in the books she was jealous of Rachel, but she didn't cry, she was kind of mad but she

didn't cry. Also, Annabeth isn't a flirty kind of girl. She's smart and she doesn't act like a stuck-up chearleader in highschool or something.

-Your spelling and grammar are horrific

Example of bad spelling and grammar: i stab de munstr in he's stomak and he disapird.

Reasons why it's bad: Do you really want me to tell you? It's obvious, is it not?

Anyway, the pronoun "I" isn't capitalized when it should be. Second, you don't spell "the" like, "de." The same thing goes to the words monster, stomach, and disappeared.

-You use chatspeak, which is a complete no-no

Example: r u lyk serious? dis is chtspk, rite? wt's d chtspk translation of translation?

Reasons: *sigh* do I really need to tell you?

-Your OC (OC means original character. A character that you made up) is a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu

Definition of Mary Sue/Gary Stu: A fictional character with overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking non-worthy flaws, and primarily functioning as a wish-fulfillment fantasy

for the author or reader.

FanFiction is a site - a wonderful website that allows you to practice your writing. But if you only have crap to write, well then, practice somewhere, then post things here when you're goood enough. Everyone can write. But not everyone can write good. And if it's obvious that you can't write good, don't post your crap here and pollute the wonderful website ( mind you, it already is polluted). Learn how to write decently enough before you post something here, please.

Sure, I may not be extremely good at grammar and stuff, but at least I know how to write decently. 'Kay, I'm not saying that I'm oh-so awesome, I'm just saying that I'm okay enough, capiche?

I'm not here to tell you to quit writing. I'm here to tell you to start writing good. And I'm here to help you with that.
