Slash

Unless I see it and agree with it as possible then I wont read it, even then it has to be well written and not writing slash because you can.

Basically if I can't see someone as being that way, I don't beleive it nor will I read it.

Now we come to the closet Pedophiles (Rock Spiders, Child molesters etc) who write Older Men, younger child stories eg Snape/Harry Slash (Snape being over 18, and Harry being under) These days when I come across these I report it to Site Managers and the (Local to the area where the server is stationed) Police...which may well get me banned from even here, since they don't seem to care, which means By Ignoring it, They support it!!!!

Challenge Ideas:

Cross over of BtVS and John Ringo's Into the Looking Glass Series

I can also be a grammar nazi, and sentence structure and etc...so edit your stories

Before I read something not marked as complete I check the author's profile and see how many he/she completed vs. how many were started. If there is a low completion rate or it takes 3 years to 50,000 word I"m gone and looking for another story. Anything not completed or updated in five years I consider abandoned and don't read. There are rare exceptions to that where family issues, accidents, health reasons may sway my hard line.

Hints for readers regarding summaries :-

If it says "Please read", DON'T.

If it says "You'll like/enjoy this, YOU WON'T.

More than one "What if" means it is probably unreadable.

Three or more "what if's" means you should keep well away.

More than one typo is a bad sign.

If the summary is incoherent, the story is written worse than Finnegan's Wake.

SUMMARIES IN CAPITALS GENERALLY MEAN AVOID THE STORY
