Fanfic summaries

[wiseheart]

There are a few remarks that make me *not* read a story in any of my fandoms:

- I'm rubbish at summaries - learn to write better ones, kiddie!

- NOT SLASH! - and that in caps, too, as if it would make the author or the story any better. It usually doesn't. But even if it did, I wouldn't read it, just for that little remark.

- Don't like, don't read! - why, thank you, that's what I'm doing...

- It's better than the title - well then, why don't you find a better title?

Yep, but I was speaking about Merlin and LOTR. And yeah, "I don't write that stuff" is especially offensive.

My most annoying experience in the No slash!-area is a particular author in the Stories of Arda archive - which is a site that doesn't accept slash by default, so WTF? - who puts that proud statement in every single one of her story summaries. Speak about stupid and self-righteous!

I never read any of her stories, and I never will. I mean, I like slash. But I like het, too, and genfic, and every possible genre, with the exception of gratuitous rape/torture stuff and kiddie pr0n. But I won't read the stuff on any author who thinks themselves better than other people, just because they don't write a particular genre.

Ugh, that's just ridiculous of that author!
