The dot dot dot addiction. Or how writers like to put dots EVERYWHERE.
Writers, especially fanfiction writers have a tendency to put dots EVERYWHERE. This maybe to denote a pause, or to just make a sentence more dramatic. Writers think that adding dots gives sentence more emotion and intensity.
I myself used dots very much. Almost every paragraph. Only now I am realising how much I butcher English language whenever I used dots carelessly.
This article really shows how and when to use dots, or as English language calls it, ellipsis.

So here's a word of advise from a recovering dot dot dot addict. Don't overdo the dots and space them properly. It will make your writing so much more neater and coherent.
