5. What are your fanfic pet peeves? Do they have a huge effect on whether or not you decide to read something? :)c
i think one big thing that can certainly put me off the fic is formatting? endless paragraphs are one thing but...
ok, look, it can be an amazing story, but if i keep getting confused about who's talking, or especially if there are two different people talking in the same paragraph (something that bothers me endlessly), i might just give up and drop it.
if we're talking content wise, i think especially in romance (but this can apply to friendships too)— if i don't feel like the characters love or care about each other unless they spell it out? that's. not good. you know, when they say "i love you" and you're just there blinking at the screen like, DO YOU????? that.
i think these two points in general do sway me a lot.
--- question from this ask game
#ange answers#i'm not saying people have to format things perfectly#there's no strict rules for paragraphs#but PLEASE#separate your point-of-focus characters#separate your speakers#PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#make it clear who's talking#and the second bit is just#i obviously love deep dives into characters' emotions#and i know not all fics are like that#but the opposite extreme where it all just feels plain and forced?#where you wouldn't know unless you're hit with it like a brick to a face?#yeaaaaah that#i hope this makes sense#i also hope this doesn't come across as mean#xkjbnkxjbn#took me a while to answer because i had to battle the side of me that didn't want to come across as too picky#or just plain not nice#idk kxbnknj woo overthinking#but certainly an interesting question!!
