Interrupting Images
Fanfic PeevesSome fanfics, many fanfics, use images to tell there story.
The thing is, for me, I can sometimes enjoy the odd picture of an outfit that the lead is supposed to wear.
But doesn't it sound awkward when you read:
She wore this.
And then it escalates to images of FOOD, PLACES, CARS, ROOMS IN THE HOUSE!!
ENDLESS SCROLLING FOR ME TO DO!
It's beginning to frustrate me. I won't be incapable of figuring out what the girl is wearing!
You just need to write:
She wore a oversized white top, with the sleeves cropped off, along with skin-tight jeans and a black pair of heels.
Images may be fun to put in your stories, but don't go over board. Especially when I see endless pictures of the food that's about to be eaten. Like seriously? You couldn't have just said that?
AND when the food, is really...what's the word...not realistic I want to say. Images of food where they're so freaking perfect and cute, like cupcakes with faces on them or something.
Where would you find that apart from Tumblr? There won't be a shop that sells that on every corner.
And sometimes, the clothes are too perfect too. Not everyone dresses to impress everyday.
Nor does everyone need to own a perfect living room with matching tables, sofas, blah blah blah.
