I really dislike giving negative reviews or comments. I generally feel that they may seem like personal attacks. I don't know if anyone will even read this. It's not really that important. I just feel the need to get a few things off my chest.

I have read literally (no exageration) hundreds of fanfics, and thousands of books. My personal library is quite large. I am a voracious reader. I love literature, science, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, history, biographies, etc.. I state this to show the breadth of my experience as a reader. My tastes are not narrow in reading or for that matter in music as well. 

Sometimes I am not in the mood to read something, if I think that I may come back to it, I will keep the subscription, to remind me later.

On this site and AO3 the vast majority of what I read is Markjin/Jinmark fiction. They are pretty much the  only Kpop idols that I ship. I am Ahgase through and through. I have been a fan of Jinyoung and JB since "Dream High 2". I am an older gay man. Mark and Jinyoung are the only ones in Got7 that feel like a possibility IRL. Having said that, I am aware that this is most likely a fantasy. (I would love it to be real, but it is probably not.)

Having said all of that I will now get to some common reasons as to why I unsubscribe.

One of the reasons is: the writer writing about something of which they obviously have no knowledge. One of the most common pieces of advice that experienced writers will give to aspiring writers is: Write about what you know. So if you are unfamiliar with something and want to include it in a story, do yourself a favor and do a little research. Nothing takes a person out of a story faster than reading something that is blatantly false. Google is a good place to start, or you could ask someone credible.

The next is more of a pet peeve. I will use Mark and Jinyoung as examples to illustrate my point. If you are writing using real people, try to at least stick to their physical attributes. For example: Jinyoung has never had skinny legs. His legs aren't big like Jackson's, but they are not skinny either. Jinyoung is slightly taller and more muscular than Mark, and has been for quite some time. So unless Mark is standing on something, Jinyoung should not have to stand on tiptoes to kiss him. If Mark and Jinyoung  no longer look like Mark and Jinyoung, then they are not Mark and Jinyoung. There are story based exceptions, like accidents, or them being younger (Mark is older, so he was most likely taller at one point.) etc., but this should be the general rule. If you don't describe them properly, it makes you seem  like you don't really care about them. Noone wants to read fanfiction from a non-fan, or anti-fan.

This next one made me seriously angry. It can fit in both of the categories that I have already mentioned. Unless it is somehow integral to the story, do not describe in detail the characters ia. I was once about 12,000 words into someones story, when they described Jinyoung"s as the size of a pinky finger. Seriously? Why? I immediately hit the unsubscribe button, and had to control myself, so as not to leave a scathing review.  I am no size queen either. Don't tell me that it is ten inches and as big around as a beer can. It is unnecessary. Leave that up to the readers' imagination. Sometimes less is more.

One that did make me write a scathing review was a "Markjin" story. They changed Jinyoung into a female. To me, as a gay man, this smacks of homophobia. Jinyoung is a man. Yes ,he is a beautiful man, but a man none the less. The only thing that character had in common with Jinyoung was his name. Calling this story Markjin was dishonest at the least, it was Mark and an OC. I am aware that Jinyoung is a uni name in Korea. We have quite a few uni names in the U.S. also. 

Another one that made me angry. Was a story with a Markjin tag. It was almost 12,000 words and Mark was mentioned once by JB and didn't even appear in the story until the last three lines. This was purely dishonest and clickbait. I was livid. If the story does not have a substantial relationship to a tag do not put it. It is actually a shame looking back on it. The story itself was well written, but I can't bring myself to trust the author if she is going to do stuff like that.

Now for a difficult one. English: I have read and enjoyed a number of stories here, that had really bad grammar. I was a able to get through them, and enjoy them because they had unique and colorful ways of approaching their stories. However, I have also unsubscribed to many because the English was poor and the story wasn't enough to make me want to push through.On this note. I used to tutor English as  a second language (ESL) students, and if anyone has an English question, feel free to ask me. I would be more than happy to help. 

Please don't contradict yourself in your writing. It may just be me (I don't believe so), but a good story creates pictures in my head (kind of like a movie). When you contradict yourself it can confuse the reader or take them out of the story. For example, I just read a story that said Mark put his hand on Jinyoung's thick thigh. Later, in the same story Jinyoung wrapped his skinny legs around Mark's waist. Someone's legs are either thick or skinny, the two are antithetical. This particular author is one that I actually enjoy reading. 

Errors are more of a problem than some people believe. People read these kinds of stories to immerse themselves in another world. When there are too many blatant errors, the reader ends up having trouble staying immersed, because they are busy trying to figure out what the author was trying to say. Using the movie in my head analogy, it is like having an annoying commercial interruption, every five minutes. Mistakes happen, we are all human. I am not talking about  perfection. I am saying, try to keep it to a minimum.
