    Pet Peeves v.11

    There's this modern AU (But not really) fic in Naruto called Ricochet which I consider to be in the top 10 Naruto Fanfics of all time (Though that's not saying much to be honest). It's not really an accurate representation but I can see how they could be done quite well. Because while we all started Harry Potter because of the magic, I think we all stayed for other reasons (Characters, relationships, etc). What difference does it make if instead of Potions, Snape is just a Chemistry teacher...

    Pet Peeves v.11

    Isn't the point of being ace/aro that it's not heartbraking? That the protag doesn't care? In that case, I'm confused on why it even has to be a major plot point if the protag himself doesn't care.

    Maybe I'm making myself seem more anal than I am. When I mean good technical skills, I mean "readable". You know, letters capitalised after a quotation mark, spelling correct 95% of the time, no massive blocks of paragraphs. I couldn't care less if they used "me and him" instead of "He and I" or something like that.

    For me, it's the opposite. I can understand someone with bad technical skills having shitty stories. It's when I see someone that does have good writing write crappy stories with bashing and cliches that I get disappointed at the lost potential. Sometimes I favourite the author and will browse through my favourited list a year or two later and see if they've written anything better.

    Pet Peeves v.11

    Is there a way to exclude fandoms when searching for a crossover on Scryer? Which brings me to another pet peeve which is going to seem weird for this site. Harry Potter crossovers. I'm kind of sick of them. When I'm searching for crossovers of Naruto, I don't really want to see the Harry Potter crossovers. Or if I do, rather than Harry in naruto's world, I'd rather see Naruto in Harry's world. The same with literally any fandom. If you sort by favourited, you'll always end up with the...

    AO3 has this option though it's a double edged blade. You can exclude "m/m" and any other tags. The problem is that most stories on there have more tags than there are words in the story. If you're browsing Doctor Who, you can be sure that even if Jack Harkness only appeared for one paragraph in which he had no words, the story will be marked M/M anyway. EDIT: Where's my money?

    I know it's the oldest peeve in the book but it's 2019 and there are STILL bashing fics on the first page when you sort by most favourited stories published in the last year. It would be a different matter if it was updated but this is just ridiculous.

    Pet Peeves v.11

    This is actually a pet peeve for fandoms other than Harry Potter though it does originate from HP. When the protagonists just wants to be "normal". It originates from Harry wanting to be a normal kid. It's a bit weird though when Naruto, a guy who wants to be hokage, just wants to be a "normal" shinobi. Or when Percy Jackson, who could never find his place in the mortal world and has all his friends and family in the Greek world, just wants to be "normal". How about those stories where the...

    Pet Peeves v.11

    I'm kind of in the opposite here. I've always just thought of the Ministry as a mirror image of the muggle government and just a few changes. I've always thought of Aurors as just wizarding police officers but that in war time they would double as soldiers or whatever. The roster probably looks quite different between peacetime and wartime though. Plus, it's not like there has been any major dark activity from Voldemort's first demise to GoF. Most Death Eaters seem to have either been...

    In all fairness, this is used to break up large bodies of dialogue from one person. If you don't want to read a large block of dialogue you can either have them constantly interrupted by someone else or have them performing actions.

    Yeah, but mOegi and Udon is taking it a bit too far. And I hate some parts of Naruto Canon just like I hate Cursed Child in Harry Potter.

    Just read one of my guilty please Naruto fics which recently updated and discocered another guilty pleasure. When Naruto teaches the Rasengan or Hiraishin to some random person (Usually Koonohamoru though in this case it was Konohamoru, Moegi and Udon). Like, dude. That is a jutsu that your father worked for for years. And you're just gonna hand it out to whoever? It's bad enough in that one fic where Sakura learns it. Watching three snot nosed brats (Literally in Udon's case) learn...

    While I agree with the rest of your list and feel it surmises basically every annoying thing about HP Fanfics, I've got to say I haven't encountered this one much. Off the top of my head, the only place I've see it is Santi's fic. Unless she said it in Canon somewhere?

    The opposite is actually a pet peeve of mine. When the author tries to portray Hermione as ignorant and SPEW as something negative. I'm really starting to get annoyed whenever I see people "explain" to Hermione that the life of an elf is somehow linked to being a slave for their mastet. Most of the time these "explanations" seem to conveniently ignore Dobby.

    Does R.O.B only apply to fanon created omnipotent beings like "Fate" and "Death"? What about canon ones like Living Tribunal, Professor Paradox or God from Supernatural? Do those fall under R.O.B?

    It might have been because I went to Public/State School, but we never referred to each other by our surnames. Even if we didn't know the person, we'd call them by thir first name. Teachers also called us by our first names. Of course, we still called the teachers by Mr/Miss/Ms/Mrs/Dr.

    Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Yeah, no. You don't see Harry going around calling himself Harry Evans Potter. For that matter, any form of Minato bashing at all. I don't care if you're the son of Shezza and Inert, the second I see that shit I will lose MY shit. Rant Time: Apparently, most people subscribe to the beleif that the guy should have found "another way". How about you try and come up with a solution on the fly while a giant fucking fox is attacking your village? I saw one story...

    When stupid shit from one fandom invades another. When you've got Manipulative!Sarutobi or Alive!MinatoandKushina, I know what kind of fic I'm wondering into. And let's not forget the "Clan Restoration Act". *Marriage Act* Sure, Naruto has a few similarities to Harry Potter (What YA book/movie.show doesn't?) but seriously, be original.
