*grumbles*
Also, while I'm feeling invulnerable and rather grumpy.
Thing I Really Wish People Would Stop Doing
For the love of God, random capitalization without rhyme or reason must stop. It's the reading equivalent of nails on the chalkboard. I'm not pointing to a specific fandom here or anything (smallville) or pairing (Lex/Lana), but hey, if this applies to you? Seriously, quit that. Lex is naked. I'm kinda your bitch until you start doing that.
Any time you are adding on extra body parts, explain what the hell they are doing there. My tentacle mpreg strategy didn't just appear by magic, people. There was porn, and then suddenly, there were tentacles, and if you want to make me cry, you'll tell me how I should be more open minded, because I'm open minded, but seriously. Tentacles. Just there. For no discernible reason. So didn't see that coming. I understand the joy of shocking your readers. But making them cry and foreswear all porn in the foreseeable future? Not so much with the good.
In author notes, do not ever tell me you have done anything you have written about, in detail. I really don't like you that much. I mean, I like some of you a lot, and all of you in different ways, but only a few of you are the ones I am going to be comfortable, or stupid enough with, to say, please, tell me more of your six person and whipped cream orgy that's just like that WiP you are working on. Yeah, so. I'm reading your porn. I do not need your sexual history too. Unless I'm very drunk. Then I won't remember. So see, just ask me if I'm drunk before you do that.
I'm serious about that wonton thing. Stop that. That's really really getting on my nerves. And also, making me go from ooh, pretty, to ooh, Chinese food.
Honey is not good lube, and where the hell did *that* come from? Is there some huge, multifandom challenge of all the things that shouldn't be lube out there and some brave souls are trying to write each one?
I'll think of more later. Anyone want to come play with me? I am lonely, and also, trying to write, and also, really, do you want these posts to continue until I can finally fall sleep? Cause y'all, so far, the forecast says the frantic energy *isn't going away*.

The second I read that I desperately wanted Chinese. Now I'm starving.
I'm reading your porn. I do not need your sexual history too.
I'm sort of amazed and shocked that people would mention that on a story-post. I mean, yes, *maybe*, possibly, its the type of thing you'd mention to a close friend on AIM, but posting for the whole fannish world to read...? Um. No.

Re: Hmmmmm
From:Yes, please. Or hell, just label it original porn and go for it. I dont' need a roleplay here in my porn. A really scary roleplay.
And hey! Are you already bored with your new mixer?????? *clenches jaw mightily against nagging for Somewhere verse fic* *chants* "Not going to ask!" "Not going to ask!"

From:Aside from the fact that one person should never go near another with a penis, a bottle of body wash, and a hopeful expression,
I spit coffee for that phrase. Oh God. *still giggling* Yes. So a point there.
You know, now that you mention it, the suds are a serious problem. That would--I mean, it would cut out some activity with the entire wow, mouthfuls of suds thing that will occur.
Huh.

Can I add lack of paragraphs to the list? I know it's common, but it goes without saying. Fics without paragraphs give me a headache (so freaking difficult to keep a track of where you are).

Oh God, I can't read stories like that. It just--blurs out into nothingness. *shudders* Yes. Big one there. Paragraphs are your friend.

From: (Anonymous) Date: 2005-07-22 07:42 am (UTC)Okay, now does that include the email I wrote you?
Cos if it does I am SO ashamed right now.
It is at moments like this that I wish I did live journal so I could underscore the point with a cute little picture. Maybe a really sad looking penguin would do the trick.
Also, that thing about you being tentaclephobic was not me. Jenn and the word sick at no point, *NO* point, would ever enter the same sentence.

*grins* You seem fun. Get a livejournal! Very easy, promise. *nodnodnod*

Get an LJ! It's FUN! PROMISE!

From:I have mercifully blocked out most of my time in Sentinel fandom but alas, still retain memories of both those little plastic packets of condiments and -- much more horrifically -- the wood glue incident.

From:No one would use condiments,like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise (eew). This just became so vastly funny.
I mean- honey i could understand, because... i hate that i have reasons why I could understand it. I never expected, wanted to know more about gay sex than I do het.
But woodglue- in like a workshop right? or...no- there are no good reasons. No wait- maybe it was like trying to handcuff the person, except with your anus.
I'm sorry- but you can see how funny it is? I wonder if anyone gets ideas from these things...
