fanfiction pet peeve: too many sentences in a row starting with "he ___"
#variety is the spice of life#reading a moshang fic and immediately hit with a wall of all the same sentence AND not referring to the character by anything other than “h#which means my brain is STRUGGLING to actually care about the words on screen#im a beta reader and i catch one of my author friends doing that sometimes like “use his name” “remove the use of ”the lawyer“ here”#fanfiction#fanfiction tropes#fanfiction pet peeves#ao3#archive of our own

look i'm not the fic police, at the end of the day you can write your fics however you like. but certain things might be making people not read your fics just because of accessibility. these things are, but aren't limited to:
You only have one giant paragraph, so it's just a wall of text
Similar to the previous point, you don't have paragraph breaks when a new character speaks
you don't include quotation marks
tumblr specific: your fic isn't under a readmore
tumblr specific as well: your fic is all written in the smaller text (example: this way). This is just accessibility, and i've also heard this doesn't work well with text to speech but maybe that has been resolved by now?
you don't post descriptions of your fics. this is something i;ve noticed a few times, because i'll see fics and by glance it's so hard to judge what they're even about and i'm not likely to click a fic without a description because it might not be something i'm interested in.
