Discussion question...PET PEEVES...what are some of your fic reading peeves??

Let's have a bit of lesson, shall we? I'm feeling a bit ranty today, so don't take offense at my tone, K??

Just a few things that have come across my radar recently...

A) "If you think that {insert whatever here}, then you've got another THINK coming." It's THINK people, not THING. Get it > > if you think something, but it's incorrect then you must THINK again. Hence you've got another THINK coming.

B) Over use of canon fodder. And to explain that I'm going to give you an example...in Harry Potter, the character of Draco Malfoy was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts. The house colors are green and silver. Of late, practically every fic I've read has Draco's personal home bedroom decorated in--you guessed it--silver and green. You know, maybe Draco's favorite color is actually blue or orange or purple.

C) Summery vs. Summary > > the first means to have something to with summer, the second is that short write up of what a fic is about

and last, but not least

D) All or most of the words in a fic's title should be capitalized. The only words not capped (unless it is the first word, of course) are: the, a, an, of, for, by, to, on, as, and, & are.

So what are your PEEVES?
