![]() As the name says, this is my reviewing account. It's here so I can review stories anonymously without the stigma of actually being "Anonymous" What's that you say? I'm a coward? Well I'm not, I had to create this account because virtually every time I left a negative review the reviewee would swoop in and give all my fics a bad review out of some childish need for revenge. And I'm certainly not going to be one of those twits who leaves wishy-washy reviews for bad fics (seriously, go to some of the worst fics you can think of and check the reviews. I doubt you'll find many truly negative reviews other then retarded ones.) I have no problem giving constructive criticism, but some authors\fics are truly beyond help. Hmmm, I'm curious to see if anybody can figure out who I am. (I'm fairly prolific) Emily's Fanfic Pet Peeves: 1.Writers who answer reviews at the bottom/top of a chapter, who do you think you're trying to kid? You're not being polite, you're padding the wordcount! I'm sick of reading fics where the "answers" are longer then the actual body of the fic! 2. Fics under 10k words, Ok I don't hate them but I also don't read them. Too short to bother. 3. 4. Incomplete fics, like #2 I don't really HATE them I just don't read them. I've lost count of the stories I've gotten into only to have the author disappear *cough* Garlo *cough* 4b. Morons who mark continuations as Complete, if the story isn't over it's not bloody "complete"! Added 3/21/10 4c. EPIC morons who are unable to finish their fic and think that means it should be marked as "Complete" Does the word "Antonym" mean anything to you? 5. Ransomed fics. I HATE THIS! ARE YOU SO INSECURE THAT YOU NEED VALIDATION FOR EVERY CHAPTER!? If you like to write, then write!! 6. Fake sequels. So many authors confuse sequel with continuation. A sequel is another story in the same universe,meaning it's SEPARATE ex Spiderman 2=Sequel LOTR:The Two Towers=Continuation. Simply put, if the preceding story had no resolution it's not a bloody sequel and you're guilty of #4b. 7. 8. Naruto fanfic writers who give Hinata some confidence, d00d her overwhelming shyness is what makes her so cute!. If you don't like Hinata as is, then use a different girl! 9. Implied sex. Either they did it and you describe it or they didn't! Don't tease your readers with that " 'I'm gonna rock your world' *POOF!* Scene change!" bullcrap 10. Yaoi, I have no problems with gay men but Yaoi fics are bloody ridiculous. Unlike Yuri fics where the characters are usually friends or friendly rivals, 90 percent of Yaoi fics involve two guys who loathe each other and often want to literally kill each other (ex: Sasuke & Naruto) The vast majority are also horribly written and contrived. 11. Overrated fics. If you mark your fic as "M" I expect either sex, extreme violence, or just plain wrongness. Mere swearing doesn't warrant an M rating. If it's marked "T" I expect stuff on the level I'd hear in a highschool. Otherwise you're misrepresenting your fic to pad the reader count. 12. Confusing the honorific kun/chan with no honorific. Kun/chan means (much) LESS familiarity then using no honorific, not MORE. Ex Naruto calling Sakura "Sakura-chan" means they're friends, while Naruto calling Sakura "Sakura" means he has a death wish. Either use honorifics right or don't use'em at all. 12b. Using "Teme" as an insult. Teme does not mean stupid/jerk/idiot/whatever! It's a rude way of saying "you". 13. (thank you "Kyuubi's Naruto and Sakura") Authors who rip you a new one when you leave an unflattering review. If your ego is that fragile, maybe you should find a new hobby; though I can't think of one that completely precludes the possibility of criticism. Staring vacantly off into space maybe? 14. the "Life goes on" ending. IE Near the end of the story the author kills the love interest off with cancer/car accident/aneurysm/etc, the hero/heroine grieves for a chapter or two, finds a reason to carry on and is a better person for it. *cue "Morning after" by Maureen McGovern* PHOOEY! 15. Adding Christianity to fics. I respect your religious rights but please stop. Virtually every fic I've seen this in gets ruined. In the best cases we repeatedly get smacked by unsubtle references to the characters "faith" and in the worst all the characters become sock puppets extolling the virtues of your chosen religion. Plus Christian authors often suffer from a serious case of Fictus Overratus (see #11). ex: A Life Rescued http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3655216/1/A_Life_Rescued is an awesome Bridge to Terabithia fic, but it's like the author is standing behind Jesse and Leslie with a bullwhip *crack!* "Bad Jesse! No impure thoughts!" *crack!* "Leslie you filthy heathen! If you want to be with Jesse you must convert to Catholicism!" I mean for the love of pete, in this fic, seeing girls naked made Jesse puke! 16. Harems. 99% of the time the girls of the harem magically fall for the protagonist because the author likes several characters/ships but is too lazy to write a romantic subplot for each girl, also the girls are oddly fine with sharing. Get real buddy, you're not writing a fanfic you're just putting your personal fantasy on paper. 17. Fics involving incestuous relationships rated T and below (ex: Ben and Gwen from Ben10). If you're going to be writing a pairing like that you might as well go all the way. 18. Surprised it took me this long to add this one: Radically changing an aspect of a character to make writing about a pairing more palatable. If you have to do something like that you shouldn't be writing about the pairing. It's also rather lazy. Ex: When pairing Vanellope and Ralph from Wreck-It-Ralph it's common for her game to get an update/patch because she looks like a little girl and that makes the writer uncomfortable. Another example is making it so that Elsa and Anna from Frozen are no longer sisters. In the case of the latter, their sisterhood is a major part of the movie so they're practically different characters when you change it. 19. Stories that are drastically AU. You see it as being creative. I see the opposite. You have to resort to completely changing everything because you aren't creative and can't fit your story into the universe. Pairings I like: Kim Possible Kim/Shego Who doesn't like kigo? Ron/Shego I LOVE this pairing, too bad so few people write for it. Ron/Bonnie Drakken/Shego Meh, s'ok. Though the stuff tacked onto the end of "Graduation" was stupid Teen Titans Beastboy/Pretty well any female except Raven. We already know he likes Raven, so why bother writing about it? Cyborg/Jinx Bumblebee can kiss my butt. Raven/Jinx Jinx is just cool. Raven/Robin shrug not bad I guess Slade/Raven Just a neat pairing. Evangelion Shinji/Rei Look, Rei's another friggin' species. It's NOT incest! Besides, Rei is cool. Shinji/Misato Like Ron/Shego it's wicked but rarely used Naruto Naruto/Hinata Hinata's just SOOO cute. Naruto/Tsunade See Shinji/Misato and Ron/Shego ;) Naruto/Ino Uh, blonde power? Shikamaru/Temari Eh, Ino's a twit. Temari/Almost anybody Temari is cool Choji/Somebody I feel sorry for the poor guy... RockLee/Sakura Sakura is a btch, but Rock's gotta have SOMEone. Avatar Toph/Any male I think Toph is my favorite character on TV except maybe Chii Sokka/Katara Yeah, it's incest. So what? Zuko/Katara Got into it when I ran out of other avatar pairings. Not bad I guess. EDIT: So many Zutara fics! Starting to get sick of this ship. Azula/Aang Cool. Azula/Sokka Cooler Bolin/Eska Korra/Bei Fong This and the previous are the only two I care about in Legend of Korra. D.Gray-man Allen/Rhode X-Men Rogue/Wolverine Maybe a bit May/December but still... Mystique/Not Magneto What can I say? I like bad girls (it should be noted though that Mystique is actually a lesbian.) Harry Potter Snape/Hermione a wee bit creepy yes, but still cool Harry/Luna Luna's cool Harry/Tonks Harry/Fluer Ron/Ginny I just made it up this second, but still I wouldn't mind seeing a fic with it. Firefly Jayne/River Jayne/any female Adventure Time Finn/Flame Princess Fin/Marceline Green Lantern Razor/Aya These two were probably the best depiction of love I've ever come across in a cartoon. Transformers Arcee/Jack Love this pairing the same way I love Misato/Shinji & Shego/Ron. I've noticed that I seem to really have a thing for adult women paired with teen boys. Gravity Falls Dipper/Wendy Only pairing I care about Once Upon a Time Emma/Regina To be honest I suspect it's because Regina pushes all my buttons. Dayum. How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup/Ruffnut Hiccup/FemToothless Uh, no comment. Hiccup/Valka Just thought of it now. Yeah I'm a freak. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles John/RoboticCameron another one of my things is for stoic/emotionless girls. Portal, yes I said Portal there's fics for everything. Chell/Glados I dig robots and villainesses, Glados is both. Star Wars Ahsoka/Anakin Ahsoka is the only reason I watched Clone Wars. Ahsoka/Bariss Star Trek Paris/Janeway Harry/Janeway Seven/Doctor Seven/Harry Seven/Janeway or Belanna My interest in this pairing waxes and wanes. T'Pol/Tucker Kinda like John/RoboticCameron Wreck It Ralph Ralph/Vanellope I think I hear Chris Hansen coming... Thor Thor/Darcy Loki/Darcy I like Darcy Jane/Loki Mostly just to stick it to Thor. Spider Man Spidey/Black Cat More young guy older woman. Spidey/Gwen Mostly because I don't like Mary Jane much. Arrow Oliver/Felicity They know we want it and they've been screwing with us for Flash Barry/Felicity You can't deny they have chemistry. Steven Universe Steven/Pearl Considering my other favorites this shouldn't surprise you. Steven/Peridot. Peridot is pretty cool. Frozen Anna/Elsa, obviously. The only real emotional connection they display with with each other. Also, that's kinda my fetish :p Pairs I don't like: KP Kim/Ron They're already dating, why bother pairing them? (Why does Ron date her anyway? She seems to have very little respect for him) Ron/Yori Just not very interesting. Drakken/Not Shego Ewww. Teen Titans Robin/Starfire We already know the end up together, why bother? Raven/Malchior Uh, why would she like him? He's an evil dragon who broke her heart. Bumblebee Don't know why, I just don't like her. Jinx/Kid Flash KF wasn't around long enough to make me care. Evangelion Pretty well any pairing not mention in my Evangelion likes. Shinji/Asuka 1. Asuka's the already established love interest which makes the pairing boring. 2. I don't get #1 anyway, you have to make her OOC for it to be logical. Asuka's a moody, btch Maya/Shinji Why do people pair these two so much? Shinji/Kawouru Quit. Pairing. These. Two. Now. Naruto Sasuke in general I hate Sasuke! Sasuke/Naruto Ugh, this is the height of yaoi! Why the hell would these two get together!? Sakura in general Sakura is a btch. She pines after that emo asshat Sasuke, I have no respect for this shallow twit. Jirya/Tsunade Sex with Jirya. Nuff' said. Avatar Aang/Katara and Sokka/Suki already established why bother? Iroh/anybody 1. Who cares? 2. Ewww old man lovin' Korra/Mako I dislike Mako, it's like he was put there specifically for Zuko fangirls. D.Gray-man Allen/Kanda Ugh, this is just like SasuNaru, two characters who hate each other one of whom is a emo jerk X-men Rogue/Gambit Canon or not I simply don't like this pair Rogue/Iceman Ditto Harry Potter Harry/Draco yeah this makes a lot of sense... Harry/Snape ditto and um... ewww. Dumbledore/anybody I really don't need to hear about his love life. Harry/Hermione Borrring! Firefly Any pair that doesn't contain Jayne, the other male characters don't catch my interest. Need time to come up with more Adventure Time Finn/Princess Bubblegum Kinda cliche Marceline/Princess Bubblegum I can see why people like it but it never did anything for me. Once Upon a Time Regina/Robin Nope, and I'm glad Robin is out of Storybrook Gold/Belle This has always been kinda messed up and the latest episode (Heroes & Villains) confirmed my fears. Emma/Anyone but Regina I actually don't like Emma, Regina just makes her tolerable. How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup/Astrid Don't care. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles John/HumanlikeCameron If you have to resort to making her a "real" girl don't try. Not the fandom for you. Star Wars Anakin/Padme I dislike Padme and canon Ahsoka/ThatGuyICan'tBeBotheredToRememberTheNameOf. The rest. I never understood the appeal of Carrie Fisher/Leia Star Trek Chakotay/anyone Screw him. I've seen all the other series but they never triggered my shipping goggles other than T'Pol Wreck It Ralph Ralph/AdultifiedVanellope Hate it when authors alter a character to make it more palatable to them. Either you like the pair or you don't. Felix/Calhoun Don't care. Thor Jane/Thor Canon and boring. Spider Man Spidey/MJ Canon and boring. Arrow Oliver/Canary Canon, boring, and it looks like they're going to shoehorn it in. Flash Barry/Iris Canon. Boring. Flash/Caitlin Not horrible but I foresee a love triangle in the future. Steven Universe I have little interest in most possible pairs in Steven Universe Steven/Amethyst. I hate Amethyst. |
