I'm me, early 30's female in Ohio .

I don't write anything, but I do read a ton of fiction.

I read mainly Bleach, X-men (cartoon/comic/movie(even though i'm pissed at it), buffy,

I have recently crossed to the darkside, i'm a yaoi fangirl.

I love Ichigo paired with just about anyone, I have a real sweet spot for Ichigo/Byakuya though. I also like Shunsui/Uk and Byakuya/Renji

I detest Fem Ichigo fics with a passion. I'm not big into original characters either.

I like ichigo/byakuya ich/renji ich/grim ichi/hichi

Orihime is my least favorite character - I really wanted to carve out my ear drums and gouge out my eyes everytime I heard/saw her...

That said - do not try to sneak a ichi/ori story by me by tagging othe characters or just tagging ichigo - when I get to the relationship of ichigo orihime I might seriously lose it... There is nothing good about her character.. Yay they have a magical healer, but that's all she's good for. She just flails around screaming kurosaki-kun gag

there are some good Ichi/Shinji stories out there - one of them with like 50 chapters or what not is a wonderfully smutty read. heheh

I really enjoy Junjou Romantica and Loveless too

sekai ich hatsukoi is good too

ok yea I've fallen into the Naruto sasunaru trap lol - they are kinda cute together

I understand losing inspiration for a story, but it frustrates me when there are 2 chapters up that pique my interest - then I see an update but wait -- it's not an update the story is f'n discontinued

or this is even worse 20-40 chapters in ehh discontinued

give up your sleep and finish the damn story - if you've lost inspiration find it again cause I am about to go on a rampage

i have this disturbing story in my mind, that I want to write its a yaoi bleach story-- I now have a few of them rolling around in my brain - wow I am kinda twisted

ok I figure if authors can list some pet peeves I as a reader can list a couple (more to be added as my patience wears thin)

unfinished stories- authors that abandon these wonderful stories with no notice

oh and if they do give notice they leave it up and don't mark it in the summary as discontinued/abandoned so some poor sap gets really into it and then bam authors note stating they have given up writing it because tthey are joining the freak show...

authors who write stories - then take them down convinced they are going to turn them into high selling books

not very likely in the genre of story i'm reading...they're great for fanfiction - at least leave that copy on the website for people to reread...

authors who throw hissy fits due to not getting some magic number of reviews and make an update just to rant that they aren't getting enough reviews - be thankful you are getting any reviews -- some people don't really have much to say

some people don't wanna leave a review that has already been left

even if your story is truly awful there will be someone out there who thinks it's the best thing evar (I've seen reviews saying that for stories that look to have been written by a delusional preteen)

I appreciate that you are putting yourself out there and taking your time to write the story but jesus quit being a needy freak

Attention to the authors with OC's that this applies to... Yes we understand the need to insert your "fantasy self" into a story as a kick ass/spunky character -- most of them I've found are utterly useless even if the do "hold the key to defeating the big bad" I hate them and i'msure many other readers can see through your self insert

99.9% of original characters suck

Descriptions - Jesus holy hell I do not need to know the exact layout of a kitchen unless there is gonna be wild monkey sex on the appliances...

it's boring, trim that shit out... I forget a paragraph after the description the layout anyways I don't care...

Ok I get that ichigo is gay in your fics and I like him that way but seriously do you have to turn him into a girl - I swear in some of these stories all he needs is the vagina... I am fine with trans/crossdressing ichigo but people who are writing gay men as girls with a penis really need to get their reality checked...

one of these days i'm gonna get good and drunk and write a story... you can abuse me for that when it happens...
