Another thing you may want to know is that as an author, I am very fond of plot twists, and I'm pretty good at writing fight scenes. You can be sure that a character introduced after the first few chapters is probably going to die somewhere else in the story.

This theory also works with my made up characters that aren't main characters. Yeah, lotta death. Woot!

Blinks* Also, a lot of romance fanfics annoy me because people take two characters that they like (regardless of whether or not the characters know of, have spoken to, have been in scenes with, have had any interaction that could possibly be called romantic at all.) and put them in a couple.

With that being said, most slash fanfics annoy the crap out of me.
