I just realised a new pet peeve of mine, in all fanfics. Authors writing "Da Sumerree Sux, Butt Ma Stoorie is good, Reelee", Not realising that the summary gives us a clue at the author's writing ability.

 

Good point.

 

I can't stand it when authors do that. Or have a well written story, but the summary is filled with typos and grammar errors. That pisses me off more, I'm missing out on a potentially good story because the author is too lazy to use the "shift" button!?

Grr!

.........nothing pisses me off more then that.

That pisses me off. Why can't you just use letters?

 

It would be "uncool", obviously.

I wuv to makup words and say it's "special". (but I'm secretly jealous of all them people who are intelligent enough to know how to spell)
(If you couldn't tell, I'm very bad with impressions of stupid people. Rather like Jon Stewart's George Bush impression. Admitively bad, but gets the point across. Hopefully.)

 

Yeah bad sumarries really turn me away. The summary is the key to any story, the first impression if you will. So why the hell do people put things like "I sux at summaries"?? Thats a sure sign that the story isn't that good either.

 

Harry having confrotations at the Greate Hall. Why he has to make it public and look like a dick?

It's goes like this:
"Next time you get into me mind ask for a permittion first!" screamed Harry to the Headmaster who was seated at the main table.
"I have no idea what are you talking about Harry" replied Dumbledore.
"I think you know exactly what's going on manipulative bastard! The prophecy and what you kept secret from me like the location of the captured death eaters! I only found out be incident that they are in held in Unicorn Alley 5 in the dungeon third door to left!!!!"
Albus nervously tried to shut the insolent boy up before he splitts more secrets of the Order
"Can we make it less public Harry? Me office for example?"
"I don't see the reason why Headmaster!"
Albus looked around the hall and saw the effect's of Harry's words.
The children of Death Eaters were franticly taking notes, the others were just loking wide eyed at two of them.

 

ROFL

But yeah that is used a lot but I can kinda understand why. In manipulative dumbles stories the author often wants to put dumbledore down in front of lots of people and the great hall is filled with people so what better place?

 

Hmm I guess that I don't see the greate hall the proper place for disscusion when they are seated far away from each other.
Also dramatic entrances annoyes me to hell.

 

Hm. I'm addicted to those "Great Hall scenes" but they have to make some sort of sense. If they have the tinyiest bit of logic I'll love the scene no matter how badly written. Nope, that cliche goes on my "Okay" list.

It's a curse, I swear it is.

 

This is from Seraphyms thread. I thought that it belongs here. And I agree, this makes no sense...

 

I just want Harry to stop being such a pussy and punch the living daylights outta someone when they piss him off! Instead of thinking for a good few days then apologising to them for getting so angry.

 

Heck yeah!!! Why does he have to have the moral higher ground. Its not that satisfying. He needs to get some revenge on them!

 

Its cause canon Harry is a wimp...Dumbnledore is his idol, and he can help but take it up the ass from anyone he sees. Evene snap-e disciplines him like shit.

Cliche: Dobby.

ANything about dobby just gets my goat. i cant stand the little shit, but authors loive to write entire storys about him all the time. Nonjon's storye was good, but the rest are so bad, it grates on my nerves.

I dunno why authors love to make dibby the cornerstone of their fic,,, its as if they cant find enough to fill thier charpters so they ahve to rely on some gren skinned little shit who speaks on third person to actually write a chapter.

On another note, igot a bunch of reviews today. They were cool.

I;m frunk, so i apologize to the admins for my shitty post. i shoud delete it, but meh

 

It's just that Dobby is like an universal sellotape for writers.

Can't figure out how to have Harry accomplish something? Just have him say a word to Dobby and the little guy will wave his hand and get it done. What is in normal stories Dumbledore, in "independant" stories is usually Dobby (or Tonks-the-supper-cop if she is around).

Not to mention the world of opportunities to show off how cool and kindhearted Harry is when he starts calling Dobby a friend and says thank you etc...

 

New Cilche: Snakes that Harry talks to saying "You sssssssssssssspeak? You mussssssssssst be masssssssssster!" Really, a snake wouldn't be that trusting. Why do you think that a snake is used for slytherin? Becuase they aint that trusting!

 

Personally the idea of snakes being able to form a coherent sentence bothers me.

 

lol. Well, it is their language. But I would think that while speaking its own language, it wouldn't go "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSpeak?" but rather "Speak?" Seriously, just because it hisses doesn't mean that it has a hiss when it speaks.
