and what exactly do you hate about slash? is it just graphic stuff you hate or even just a kiss on the cheek? is it cause the characters aren't gay in canon....?

Ok, I agree, the made up kids thing is very annoying. And, yes, you've hit the button, my main problem with slash is that the characters aren't gay in canon. You win a million dollars...too bad I don't have that kind of money to give you. ^_^ (I may act like Quatre, but I'm no multi-billionare). It really annoys me when it's REALLY OBVIOUS that the characters like someone else. Like parings that don't have ron and hermionie together or heero and relena together. Or like in Gundam Wing, Hilde and Duo are LIVING TOGETHER for crying out loud, and people still write these stupid heeroxduo fics...grrrr. And also, these stupid yaoi fanatics tend to not care a thing about the plot line, like you will see all of these AU yaoi fics. *sigh* And there are some pairings that are just sick. Like 5x13 in GW (WuFeixTrieze). There's just something about that that's just...ewwwww.... Seriously, if people want to go write about gay guys why don't they go write Brokeback Mountain fanfiction? I know that you like it, so don't get me wrong, this is just my opinion.

im sorry, but wufeiXanyone is just icky...bleh.....
nahh, i mostly read ones about minor characters...most of the ones i read fit in quite nicely with the plot of the books, and if they don't then its something that could easily have happened....
AUs do generally annoy me, although i read a good one where the characters are all set in france during the french resistance...twas quite cool, actually, and VERY well written..
and kudos for being purist, btw, nice to see people like that out there ^___^

Yes, I am a purist. And I can write, I just never have ideas. I'm glad someone appreciates that. ^_^
The New List of Fanfiction Stuff I Hate 1. Badly written-stuff (wow, that takes out a bunch) 2. yaoi 3. mary-sues 4. crossover pairings (unless it's a parady/humor fic.- so things like Heero Yuy and Hermione...just no. Although, I've never actually seen HeeroxHermione. I've seen HarryxWuFei...and that breaks two of the things I hate...) 5. The "new generation" thing- in which people's made up kids take on their mother/fathers old role (so Kristen Potter becomes the next Harry, or Alison Yuy the next great gundam pilot) 6. Most AU fics 7. Pre-built storylines - I'm really thinking of Pokemon fics in particular- there are a ton of OT (basically OC in pokemon speak- it means original trainer) fics in which OT goes to a town and picks a first pokemon from a set of three. OT then goes on a Pokemon journey. OT defeats 8 gym leaders and then goes to the Pokemon League and battles the Elite Four. OT wins! The End. It is soo dull. This may be true particularly beacuse Pokemon is originally a video game. It's almost like people just write out how they beat the RPG and turn it into a story. Since this storyline shows up in both the game and the TV show, people take this "pre-built" storyline and use it for themselves. In less show specific terms, I can't stand when people make up an OC and make their OC follow a storyline that has already been developed by the creaters of a game/TV show. (I hope everyone understands this...) 8. OCxMain Character parings- If it's essential to the plot that a character who has no love interest in the show is married, then by all means go ahead and make up someone, but for the most part OCxMain Character fics are dumb mary-sues. 9. Divorce stories- Ok, I have no problems with stories centered around a paring. But PLEASE come up with an original plotline! I hate it when charcter A is married and gets divorced and realizes that his true love is B.
That's all I've thought of for the moment.

you do have to admit that certain characters, like legolas and, say, lucius or draco, ARE rather effeminate, though... lol
i agree. oc/main character pairings are so annoying. i also don't like it when people write characters completely out of character. it's so annoying. it's like, why don't you either make up your own (i have come across some very good OCs that fit in well with the story) or pick a character that's somewhat like what you're trying to describe?? *tsk* some people...
there are also just some pairs that i dont like. it's especially annoying when people write a lot for those pairs. like harry and draco? yeah, right! over their dead bodies. or blaise and hermione. no!! no!! no!! where do people come up with this stuff???
nice new siggy, by the way. ive been meaning to comment but i keep forgetting.

Ok, #10. OOC fics. They are POINTLESS AND ANNOYING! And with all of these, please note that paradys and humor fics are an exception. 'cause who doesn't like making fun of all this stupid stuff? ^_^
OC's can be fit in to a fic really well, I agree. I just don't like the stupid pairings. I agree, some pairs I just don't like either. I need to think of more things that annoy me...*thinks* Can't think of anything...
I'm glad you like my siggy. I finally have a new one. w00t! Aquasplash really liked it too. It was a quote that I came up with and put in my buddy profile. Then, I felt compeled to use it here too. I guess there's just something appealing about it...

pairings between people of hugely different ages/species. like shigure/kisa or snape/harry or artemis/holly and so on...i cannot STAND that...
actually, im fine with any of this as long as the author wrote it as a joke...

Oh, just ask me here, I've had several avys. Speaking of uploading...you can't upload an avatar onto HWH. You have to use a URL. So, if the picture is located on your computer you have to upload it to a website first. (For example, I put all of my stuff on www.freewebs.com/jennysphotos)

I did a test run on your account (in otherwords, I gave you an avatar, and then took it off). It should work just fine. If you are having problems, give me the URL, and I will do it for you. Ok?
