Dear fanfiction.net community:

I have a few grievances.

Authors:

Write because you enjoy writing and because you have a good idea to write about, not because you're looking for a pat on the head/attention. An author that begs for feedback in every summary or every chapter sounds immature and makes your work highly unattractive. Don't hold your fan-fic hostage (ie: "no feedback no new chapters!").. If you can't find the inspiration in yourself to continue/finish your own work without coddling, then just don't. If that's the case, your fan-fic is probably not worth reading anyway (and you're most likely partaking in a pastime not suited to you). If you need ideas, grammar correction, look for a beta. Two-paragraph-long chapters are really lame, too. As is making most of your chapter nothing more than feedback-response. Take the time to map out your story ideas, don't just write randomly because you're afraid you'll lose readers if you take too long. Try finishing an entire story, THEN posting it. If you're updating, take the time to write something that takes more than 30 seconds to read. Take the time to check your spelling and grammar several times over, and avoid sounding like a 12-year-old unless you actually are (ei: "hers 1 new chapter i did for u lol"). Don't assume every critique you recieve is a flame just because it is negative. "This story sucks, so-and-so would NEVER act that stupid" is a flame. "This story needs work, the characters are poorly presented" is critique. Good grief!

Reviewers:

Don't try to explain what's canon and what's not canon, canon is in the eye of the beholder until the real writers say differently. Don't get pissy if your review is ignored, say your piece (politely), offer constructive criticism and move on. The author not agreeing with you is not the end of the world, it is merely their opinion vrs yours. If you hate it, stop reading and go write your own story.

Personal:

Likes: Science fiction, fantasy, anime, dragons

Faves: Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, Full Metal Alchemist (first series- not the second and definitely not the manga), LotR, generally anything sci-fi or fantasy with exception to a few exceptionally poorly-written shows such as Supernatural and Reaper.

I'm currently working on a Pitch Black/CoR fiction.
