The last (for a while) twenty-four annoying things about Death Note fan fiction
78. When a chapter is made up of one whole long paragraph.
79. Soichiro Yagami's death is never worth mentioning at all.
80. When people spell Mello, Mellow.
81. Story titles like this:
Death Note story
and this:
LxLight Fanfic
and this:
Near x Mello(CONTAINS YAOI!)
82. When innocent Light = naive, minus forty IQ points Light.
83. When authors can't handle constructive criticism.
84. When you start reading a thirty chapter or so M-Rated story, for an awesome sounding plot, but into the third paragraph you realize that it's actually thirty chapters of just really badly written smut and the plot is pretty much ignored.
85. Matsuda's confusion about whether Kira is good or evil is hardly ever mentioned. Because of course, Kira is pure evil.
86. Story summaries like this:
Me and my friends all get sucked into Death Note and have to save the world from a new Kira that threatens to create some random plot twist. LxOC, LightxOC, MatsudaxOC, MelloxOC, one-sided NearxOC, MattxOC, OCxOC, OCxOCxOC, BBxOC.
87. When author notes aren't separated from the rest of the story and you start reading the story thinking that you're still reading the author notes.
88. When you're three chapters into an OC story and it's so complicated and random that you have no idea what's going on.
89. When you're seven chapters into an OC story and it's so complicated and random that you still have no idea what's going on.
90. When people care about their OC's so much that they couldn't be bothered thinking of a name for them before they publish their story and simply refer to their OC as 'OC'. Like, as in that's their name. And leave an author note in the story saying that they haven't thought of one yet.
91. When Mello swears in every second sentence with exclamation.
92. When main characters (usually L, Light, or BB) are somehow resurrected as Shinigami.
93. Rape fics.
94. When people don't write a summary because they say they suck at writing them, but ask you to read their story anyway even though you have no idea what it's about and they can't even write a summary.
95. When characters in AU stories are so OOC that it could pretty much be a story with OC characters that just happen to share the same physical traits and names as the DN ones.
96. When no paragraphs are used and every sentence of a story is given a new line.
97. When in post-Kira Near centric fics it's completely ignored that Roger actually became the new Watari.
98. Even though Death Note is set in Japan, OC's are almost never Japanese.
99. When Naomi Misora is written off as not being that smart because Kira killed her, disregarding all of her involvement in the LABB murder case and her arresting of Beyond Birthday.
100. When it's somehow IC to put Mello in a dress.
Author note:
DEG, using capitals and swearing as a response to these points is perfectly fine haha. Your comments were awesome. Also, 75&76 were stereotypes. I went back and fixed them (I think) so hopefully that's clearer now, so thanks. Also: "54) I KNOW. HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMETHING BE RAVEN COLORED ITS BLACK YOU FAILED HIPSTERS" I felt like framing that and putting it on my wall.
Aaaand, that makes it a hundred. I seriously didn't think I would be able to think of that many. This may not be updated for a little while now but thanks to everyone who left their comments. You guys are all awesome.
