1. AMEN. A-THEFRICKEN-MEN. I HATE THAT. >> Though as I don't read fics that often, I haven't really run into that. But I have run into fangirls whose first language is anything BUT Japanese, peppering their posts/IMs with it. I want to STRANGLE them.
2. Yes, I remember back when I was heavy in Harry Potter fandom how MAD I'd get when people called Hermione 'Hermi' or 'Mione'. For the love of all things canon don't call someone a nickname unless they do it in the damn book!
3. My brother had to read a book for a lit class. It was about a drug addict and was written in second person. He said by the time he finished it he felt like HE was the one on drugs.
4. Agreed. I'm a very visual person, even when I read. I want to be able to picture what I'm reading.
5. >> I try to use a varity of words... because I get BORED with just 'said' XD; >> I try not to go overboard.
