Do you want one million followers on Twitter?
There are some bad fics written in fandom, right? And I don't mind. I mean, usually I'll avoid them. Some other times, I'll want to read them, even knowing they're bad. Sometimes I'll even wait impatiently for a new chapter - while totally keeping my craving for that fic sekrit because, wow, it's so bad and so OTT and so cliched and just badly written. But I'll still want it. Also, how many times do you scroll down the gazillion comments of what you consider a bad!fic, only to see people commenting on how 'amazing' said fic is? Without sarcasm! Some people will read what I consider an omgsobadithurts!fic and apparently genuinely see an amazing!fic. This is how the universe is made and it's ok.
But, wow, something that drives me up the wall is writers who don't even know how to spell the character's name right. I mean. How is that even possible? How can you write a fic and spell the - main - character's name wrong? And I'm not talking about a typo, I'm talking about basically making up a new name (JensOn, JarOd, JeffERY etc.) That is beyond me, I swear. And it makes me crazy. I don't have that many pet peeves but that one, right there, is definitely at the top of the list. Another good one is writers posting a new chapter in one of their series and not linking to the rest. No link to previous chapters in the same entry, no tags, no nothing.
Ok. Well. I just needed to take this off my chest *cough*
But don't think I'm in a bad mood or anything 'cause I'm not - a) because I'm just not b) because it's Friday! c) because it's Friday and it's already past 11.00 AM and d) because even if I were in a bad mood? I'd just have to watch Spencer and Brendon's Weekend At Pete's Rose video and I'd feel all cheery and smiley again because hee! I'm fan of the dorkiest boys that ever lived! I just love how they don't take themselves seriously ♥ ♥Thank you, Shane!
Technically, I should have the motts and be unable to watch the video because I usually have the motts when people try to act and are just bad at it? But apparently not when people act and aren't really expected to be good at it and are just basically goofing around. If it's all for fun, it's bearable. Not that I'm motts-free but it's bearable. Having the motts is more complicated than it appears, there are all kinds of rules and sub-rules and exceptions.
