What are your most hated fanfic tropes
Meta knowledge might be the only advantage an SI has, if he didn't get cheat powers from a ROB. Gotta play your cards close to your chest if you don't want to lose. In the SI fic that I'm writing, I decided to play with the idea a little bit: -
Which is more cringe?
When sincere interest in a hobby is mocked, this happens for a few reasons: 1. The people mocking are just bullies 2. The hobby itself is insincere, or it's something that's not meant to be taken seriously (like some silly cartoon, for example) 3. The sincere interest is at a level that is... -

He should have called himself "The Puzzler", and he could walk around wearing a green suit and bowler hat with little mazes drawn all over it. Puzzle me this. Puzzle me that. Do you think this suit makes my ass look fat? -

This is a good point. I'll add that one scenario where the MC being a side character could possibly work is if he is taking the role of narrator, and the story is actually about a different character who is more important. Like in the 13th warrior, where the protagonist is ostensibly Antonio... -

These kinds of lists make me feel good when I can tick off each one and say, "Yep, not something I would ever write" Pretty standard, and a well-deserved #1. Characters can never be smarter than the author. At least, if you ever want to show and not tell. Sounds like the author might be a... -

I dunno, I want to think Slytherin has standards. They'd be the ones bullying the shooter until he snaps. I'm one of those people who likes to do far-distant prequels and sequels, but that's just me, I have a different take on fanfics where I only want to re-use the same setting without... -

I wonder if there's ever been a fic where the sorting hat says, "This kid's gonna be a school shooter! Get his ass out of here!" -

I think if a merchant actually tried to do that in historical times he would have gotten lynched by a mob. -

On character images, I keep falling into the trap of searching for images to inspire how I will describe the character, then I find one I like so much that I have to link it. But then for a different character I can't find any image that matches my imagination, and so I either have to settle for... -

What's PHO? I'm not going to bother googling it, because I'm only going to get results for Vietnamese restaurants. -

I assume they do it specifically to avoid censorship issues on other sites, or as a habit developed while writing on other sites. Same reason as you'll see a bunch of VN games where the male protagonist lives with a "landlady" who's in her 40s and two "roommates" who are 2-3 years older and... -

I always took oversized proportions in Japanese art to mean that the artist is attempting to draw focus to one part of the image over the rest of it. It's sort of like how you'll see something cool in nature, like maybe a bird on a tree branch, and then you snap a picture and in the picture the... -

I'm kind of glad I grew up in the 80s and didn't get into anime until I was in college. The first time I saw a bishonen I just laughed and made gay jokes. I remember there was one guy who was supposed to be a samurai hero who fought demons with his katana but he wore a pink dress all the time... -

If you messed up and someone got real close, you still wouldn't have the sword in reverse grip. It would still be in your normal grip. And then, instead of spending time changing your grip, it would make more sense to just grapple him or pull out a dagger. That's usually what Dequitem does. But... -
Fanfiction (and Fanfiction-Adjacent) Acronyms and Terms Guide
A few more Japanese terms I picked up from playing a hentai game last week, where I had to pause the game to go look up what they meant: kouhai: A junior, the inverse of a senpai. Example in a sentence (from the game I was playing): "We're going to turn that kouhai girl into our meat toilet"... -

Also an exchange I just thought of myself this morning, that I want to use in my writing somewhere: - "I'm a lover, not a fighter" - "You're not a lover, you're a wanker. To be a lover, someone else has to love you back" -

I never read any of Salvatore's work, but I love this conversation. I love it because I've been wondering for a long time if God, Satan, and all the angels and demons are entities without, or entities within the subconscious part of the human brain: that when you pray, you are actually... -

"You're in a dangerous line of work, Jayne. Odds are you'll be under my knife again, often. So I want you to understand one thing very clearly: No matter what you do or say or plot, no matter how you come down on us, I will never, ever harm you. You're on this table, you're safe... 'cause I'm...
