here's to the whiny authors

Here's a personal rant by me, don't take this to the heart because this is my honest opinion and my only wish is for you to respect that.

Dear Whiny Fanfiction Authors, 

                   I'm going to apologize beforehand, just in case any of you get offended. Please, and dear I say PLEASE with capital letters, do not whine, complain, shall I say about when someone unsubscribes to you. Hasn't it crossed your mind that maybe you taking up half of the page complaining and whining about those unsubscribers is a tad annoying? To the point where the people who are actually interested are starting to lose interest because of the constant "EH? IS THIS ANOTHER UNSUBSCRIBER? EHHHHHHHH? WOW, THIS IS AMUSING. WOW ONLY BECAUSE OF BLAH BLAH KISSING SO AND SO!" (Just a thought.)

While we are on topic of annoying things that authors on this website tend to do is adding random Hangul/Korean within the text. There are a few exceptions but having a whole block of text in Korean letters is just plain unnecessary, at least have it romanized! Not even, Don't have it at all, not all the readers understand Korean, heck half the writers that use it barely know it themselves! I admit, when I started out on fanfiction websites (winglin all the way, just kidding) I was a koreaboo-ish myself. But you know what, I realized a month in that it's stupid. It brings down the reader's interest trying to figure what the author is trying to tell you. 

OH AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE GIF SPAMS. Things get personal when an author adds tons of gifs at the end of the chapter that A) have nothing to do with the chapter, B) Aren't even all the same size, C) TAKE SO ING LONG TO LOAD, LIKE COME ON, if you have like seven < 1MB gifs then things are going to take awhile before I reach the end of the page to press that button I've been longing for since the ending of the goddamn chapter.

Most of the time, these author's that do one, two, or even all of these things have amazing storylines and writing but it just brings my interest down when you have all these things triggering my frustration. Now, don't think I'm personally victimizing any of you, many people do and I'm just speaking in general. I'm not a perfect author myself, hell, I'd probably even hate to be one of my subscribers because the intervals between my updates are like decades. Not only that but my chapters are filled with so many errors, and I'm too much of a bum to go back and fix them (I usually do extreme revising during vacations)

Here is the end to my rant, so goodbye

it is annoying when authors post or whine about stuff that their readers honestly dont give two sheets about :/
not to mention writing a whole paragraph on their day's events just to justify their late updates. STOP OK?
