Disclaimer:  this is my personal views and perception of things, you are totally entitled to have your own, as well as I can think what I want.

So, I found it irritating when:

1.       When authors do not do proper warnings.

We all come to AFF for different reasons. I come to read few happy-end stories to relax after long day. And it kind of a waste of time for me to read the long story only to find that character dies in the end. Things like that should go into the warning! Is that that hard?

I can’t believe people do not forget to rate stories for mature (sometimes even overdoing it, rating just for kiss and hug) or to warn that it’s a story (even if it was already mentioned in tags!), but they don’t say a thing about character death?!

Common, is death really less ‘disturbing’ than or boy&boy love?

2.       When people don’t think while placing tags.

This is in some way the prolongation of the first one. Can you believe I read a story once where 3 out of 4 main characters were killed in the end.. and the tag was saying “fluff”! You got to be kidding.

PS. I think I live at a more pleasant planet then the author .

But the one that drives me really crazy is “2min” tag. People who write het2min should be prohibited to use “2min” tag!  2min is boyXboy, , gay, bromance, whatever you want to call it. But even if you want to argue that  ”girl Tae” is still Taemin character wise (I have some comments about it too, but this part is about tags), the tag 2min would not do anyway. Why?

There is nothing complicated about it, explanation is very simple :

(If you are not 2min fan, to understand below you should know that female name used for Taemin in 99% of the stories is Taeyeon)

TaeMIN+MINho=2MIN

Do you see “MIN” anywhere in Taeyeon? Me not. So, how the hell it can be named 2MIN?!

So, make your own specific tag. Or put already existing “genderbender” tag with Taemin name.  Or simply write Minho and Taeyeon.

Just please, please, do not use 2min when the story has nothing about it!

3.       What is what

I saw few great tutorials on the sire about how properly write , with explanations of the toys and synonyms for the body parts names, so you would not sound like a broken record while writing one.  But I am still surprised how term “gay” is used. 

There are hundreds of stories were straight guy falls for the boy for a first time or he is “gay only for you”. And then the character has a lot of emotional turmoil in accepting that he is gay and coming out with it.

Sorry, but if he used/still/whatever likes girls, he is not gay, he is bi.

4.       Brides, Mrs. and all that wedding in

In some way it corresponds with the above, even if its not about misusing the term.

I hate it to bits when one of the guys in story is called Mrs in marriage and not but ‘husband’  as a joke, but by strangers (aka doctor, secretary, etc).

And I hate even more when one of the guys (aka “wife”) is wearing a wedding dress for the wedding itself.

Men who dress/behave/feel like women are travesty, and its different from being gay.

So please, white tuxedo will do if you want them differ that much!

I even had more philosophic thought one day. Are not we trying to push them in familiar form of “traditional” things by doing that? Are we really ready to accept gay love in reality if even in fiction we try to make one of the guys a girl?

That is probably why I do not like mpreg in the stories. I will still read the story, but I am certainly not a fan of it. Its ok if the story has magic or supernatural theme, then I can believe in anything.  But if its kind of normal story and then suddenly one of the guys gets pregnant.. I feel that story loosing the force into making us believe it is real.
