I know that not many people read profiles (although I do, because I like to know what sort of people are reading and reviewing my stories), so I won't be posting a lot of news on here. Below is a list of my (generalised) pet peeves. I also have a list of words, with definitions, that make me cringe when they are confused and misused. I know that English is not a pure language, but if it is your only language, you should be able to speak, read and write it without making such stupid mistakes. So please, have a look.

If you see anything you agree or disagree with, let me know.

Things that Annoy Me

- Stories where characters do stupid things that hurt the ones they love because someone threatened them. Seriously, if someone walked up to me and said ignore your boyfriend and be my girl or I'll kill him, I would ring the police after I kicked the dickhead in the balls. Come on people! Just because it's a fictional story doesn't mean it should be unrealistic.

- Stories that are AU and still have massive gang fights or murders with no consequences. That sort of behaviour will work (to a certain extent) in the Naruto universe, but even then, you can't just have a character murdered because you don't like them and let the murderer get off scot-free. There are consequences for crimes, people. If you dislike the character so much, why not just leave them out?

- Not knowing your subject matter. Not knowing basic information about your main topic and making it a large part of your story creates major plot holes. You may not care but it effects the quality of your work, and I, personally, will stop reading when I find this sort of thing. Research is important. You may ask, why should you research things when you're clearly writing for fun. My answer is this: People read your stories for fun! They derive their enjoyment from how good your story is. You write for your audience, if you lessen their joy, you lessen your audience.

- Criticism: Reviews are not meant to tell you your work is the greatest. Yes, it's nice when people say, "Hey, your story is great, I want to read more!", but if they say, "your story has potential, here's how to improve it." there is no call to say, "you're being hateful and I think you suck." Flaming is bad, constructive criticism is not. If you've been given some tips for improvement, don't jump on the reviewer. If you don't want to listen, ignore the review or tell them, I don't want to change my story. There is no need to be rude.

- Insulting or ignorant reviews that are left by people who either choose not to sign in or sign up. How are we, as authors, supposed to respond to your review if we have no way of contacting you for clarification?

- Writers who seem unable or unwilling to write coherent sentences, use the wrong spelling or the wrong words and then have messages at the bottom of the chapter saying: "I write for fun so shove off if you find problems because I don't care." Just because you write for fun, doesn't mean you can't write correctly. I recently came across a profile of someone who claims to be a 'beta' or editor for others, but surprisingly, their profile had a large message splashed across the top: "Don't point out my grammar mistakes. I have a good grasp of grammar but I don't use it.' Why should anyone trust you to edit their work, if you don't even bother with your own?

- Reading stories that have an excellent plot and storyline but fall down with either the misuse of words or the overuse of certain words. For those people for whom English is not their first language, you are to be commended for attempting to write in it, but there are people out there, and on here that offer themselves as editors. They're called beta readers, look them up. For those people who speak English and only English, you should be ashamed that you do not know your own language. Do something about it!

- Stories with an excess of plot twists. Try explaining the story to someone before you post it. If your audience starts rolling their eyes and you've not reached the halfway point, consider using some of those ideas in another story. Don't overcrowd your stories. Your audience will lose interest.

- Tense changes in the middle of stories. This is ridiculous. I don't care what you think, it is NEVER cool, or impressive, or well-written when this happens. Choose a tense; be it past, present or future, and stick with it throughout your story. While on things that change midway through a piece: point of view. Yes, the notoriously difficult POV. Two things here: 1) don't change it abruptly if you're writing in first person. It's confusing and reflects badly on your creative process. 2) If you are going to switch between characters, you don't need to put in a note that says so-and-so's point of view now. Just put in a line break; that's all that's needed. Personally, I'd rather read third person narratives and I will only ever write them, as I can switch between characters easily with out needing to change point of view. That's a tip for all you writers.

- It's probably obvious by now, that I have a serious obsession with correct spelling and grammar. In order to not appear as a complete neurotic freak, whose main aim is to drag others down, I will offer you all a tip. This is for seasoned writers as well as newbies, because everyone makes silly little mistakes (and some make big, stupid ones, but that's neither here nor there). After you have completed your chapter/story, read it out to yourself, out loud. Yes, it may take a while and you may sound extremely stupid reading to yourself (so it's probably not a good idea to do this during study hall or in the middle of the library) but this will help you catch those silly little mistakes: like a misspelled word, or a word that is missing completely. And by taking notice of where you're breathing, while you're reading, you can figure out if you need to change the punctuation. Remember, pauses require commas and breaths require full stops. It is important, if you try this, to make sure you don't skip over words while you're reading. In fact, it's best if you leave your work for a few hours or even days, so that it isn't over-familiar.

- People who write stories about animes, using original characters who have anglicized names. You're writing a story about characters from a different ethnicity; they have Japanese names. It isn't that difficult to look up another Japanese name to use for your own character. Baby name books and websites are everywhere, and will list not only the gender of a name but also the meaning. So, I see no reason why you can't take the little time it requires to do a search and find a more appropriate name for your character.

Below is a list of words that I have found mutilated on this, and other, sites. These words may sound or be spelt similarly, however confusing them in your writing makes it very difficult for your audience to understand what you're trying to say. These words are NOT interchangeable!!! Finding these words confused in many stories makes me cringe, and sometimes it also makes me laugh hysterically, particularly when you substitute synonyms. For instance: I recently read a story which featured the following mistakes:

Sasuke was in a fowl mood even as his muscles rippled under his taught skin.

Now with the substitution:

Sasuke was in a poultry mood even as his muscles rippled under his teaching skin.

I laughed heartily, which was obviously not the intention of the author of this little dramatic piece. Same thing for the poor sod who confused 'monogamous' for 'monotonous'. Had me in stitches.

Sasuke was in a foul mood even as his muscles rippled under his taut skin.

This mistake seems to be quite common, though I'm not sure why: physco'. This is not a word. I believe most times the writer is looking for the word psycho', a shortened slang version of psychotic, and are simply mixing the letters up with physical. That's my guess. I realise that it's difficult to sound out but you know what, there are these special books called 'dictionaries'. I have one which I refer to all the time and I'm not ashamed of that fact.

Just found another one, which is too complicated for me to leave as just a definition.

"Draco could barely believe how sexy Hermione Granger could dance when she was…inhabited."

I believe the word you're searching for is 'uninhibited' which means to be without restraint, a common occurrence when imbibing alcohol, rather than 'inhabited' which means to be lived in.

Monday, 15th August 2011 - I don't usually make notes like this, but for this glorioux occasion, I'm making an exception. Yesterday, I sent a rather long and detailed message to another author on this site, whose story was on my alerts list. The story, itself, was interesting enough, but I felt it was let down by the writing style; a great many plot twists, the inclusion of far too many characters that were not pertinent to the storyline and the confusing sentence style. I took it upon myself to tell the author this, in an attempt to help her improve. Imagine my surprise when I received, not one, but two emails today, telling me that she had updated. No reply message but two new chapters to what is already quite a long and convoluted story. So I opened one up and clicked on the link, and lo and behold, there's a charming little message to flamers, in general, accusing them of being dark fairies who have to hurt authors because they, themselves, are in pain. Rather than return my message like an adult, she chose to post a note to all and sundry. My ire was raised. I am by nature a dark and sarcastic person, so I thought it only fitting that I applaud her somewhat accurate, albeit deluded, description. BUT I WAS THWARTED!!!

So, this little message goes out to a childish little person, who cannot take constructive criticism, who chooses to block a helpful hand, and believes that anyone who is critical of others' work is only reflecting their own inner pain. I hope you never hope to be published, because, my dear, what is it you think an editor does?

Signed, The Darkest Faerie.

I cannot continue to ignore this. The rampant romanticism that has infected today's youth, to the point of ignoring common sense; it annoys me to no end. The following story, which has been posted on many people's profiles, is a classic example. It disgusts me. I would hope that it is not a true story, but someone's tasteless mock-up of a tragic accident.

Pure Love Story

A girl and a guy were speeding over 100mph on a motorcycle.

Girl: Slow down I'm scared.

Guy: No, this is fun.

Girl: No it's not, please, its so scary.

Guy: Then tell me you love me.

Girl: I Love you, slow down.

Guy: Now give me a big hug.

She gave him a big hug.

Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on yourself, it's really bothering me.

The next day in the newspaper, a motorcycle crashed into a building due to brake failure. Two people were in the crash, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road the guy realized that the brakes weren't working, but he didn't want the girl to know. Instead he had her hug him and tell him she loves him one last time. Then he had her put his helmet on so that she would live, even if it meant that he would die. If you would do the same for the person you love, copy this to your profile.

This is not pure love! It's stupidity! You aren't necessarily going to crash and die just because your brakes have failed. Obviously he didn't know how to ride his bike correctly, which brings into question the legality of his driving on the road in the first place. Secondly, why the hell isn't his girlfriend wearing a helmet as well? And what kind of stupid girl takes the helmet off her boyfriend just because he says it's bothering him?

Doesn't being sensible and continuing to live make more sense than this romantic twaddle that leaves one person dead and the other in mourning for the rest of their life? Are there really people out there who think like this?

10th November 2012: I met Vic Mignogna today and he was really nice. My sister and I were up all night preparing for the encounter (yes, we bought his autograph at an anime convention) but I tell you, it was totally worth it. It was worth only having 3.5 hours sleep. It was worth driving over an hour and half to the city were the convention was held. It was worth walking over five kms in the rain, up and down hills. It was worth standing in line for over an hour, listening to teenage girls fan-gasm in front of us, squeal, giggle hysterically and cry. It was totally worth over 8 hours drawing pictures of his characters so that he could sign our montage. Because he is awesome.

I will point out, though, that he has an almost obsessive need to say the word 'cute'. We, my sister and I, are not 'cute'. We do not watch any anime that could be classified as 'cute'. Our drawings were not of any characters that could be categorized as 'cute'. All in all, our experience of him, the drawings, the line up and the convention, was not 'cute'. Even reading that word makes me shudder. That was the only downer that continues to bring me down.

Profile Update: 16th November 2014: It's been quite a while since I was on here. Some of you may have noticed that updates have been quite thin on the ground, er web. But I'm studying again so, as I continually procrastinate, there will be new material. I'm feeling extremely vindicated of late, with the ending of Naruto and the confirmation of three canon couples that I supported. But I do owe you, my extremely nice followers and reviewers, an apology. As many of you know, I endeavour to reply to all of my reviewers, and I'm sure it gives you warm fuzzies to hear from me. Unfortunately, at a time I am not entirely sure of, my email program decided any emails from fanfiction, including your lovely reviews, was deemed to be SPAM and I completely missed them. I am sincerely sorry. Feel free to point out any missed replies and I will make it up to you, with your very own, dedicated chapter/story. Now, I'm going to sit back and see how many of you read this and contact me to redeem this offer.
