Rant 5: Foo-ing Writing

Rants of an AFF Girl

 

 

We have all come across a certain fic that's really good, but has the one of the WORST grammar and spelling in the world.

 

I know the author's english isn't the best, or English is probably not their 1st language BUT WHHHYYYY!?! If you don't know much english, then please study it more to get it right. It's like a person who just learns how to swim, the person still isn't very good at swimming, but still goes out to compete in a competition, and then makes a fool out of themselves.

 

I understand that you just want to write and SHARE. But some people do not AND will not understand what you're writing if you write like a 1st grader. 

 

Ex: On the way Myungsoo almost fell a few times. When Sungyeol saw her siter walking with friends he immediately turned his bike for her. her sister shock when she saw her brother on his bike. she immediately hide behind her friend.

(I seriously did not edit it or anything. Credits to the writer. This is not mine. But I don't mean to offend anyone so I won't list fics.)

 

I have seen alot worst than ^^, and it just makes me annoyed. I get confused to what I'm reading, and then my head starts to hurt cause I have to reread each sentence or paragraph to comprehend what the author is typing.

 

Am I the only one who feels this way? I admire the people who stick onto a fanfic with "???" writing. I seriously don't get how fics with the writing skills of my 4 year old cousin get so much subbies. It's like:

 

"DA FOOOOOO!?!"

 

Maybe they got connections? I read it and it's either cliche, or very interesting. But I still would not continue to read a fic that has so much mistakes. Unless it was UBER good. Like IU GOOD :).

 

JUST MY OPINION.

Chapter 5: lOLOL Bro most of the time people who are reading the story are like the underage fans or those who only read the popular ones xD Man I remember back then when I thought Goddess was the bomb and now I look back and I'm just like, "Nope." I mean it's an ok storyline (Esp Dear diary, Woohyun's a Jerk and The Dull One" But everything is SOOO CLICHE!!!!

I was just watching some random fanfic trailers and I came across one that caught my eye, "TWO FACED" I clicked on it and the trailer D ! The resources they used was pretty grainy and all the words only came on for like 1-2 seconds and the majority of it were covered by black clouds -_- I checked the comment section and all I see is, "OMG YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD THIS STORY IS!" or "GREAT TRAILER AUTHOR-NIM(Ugh cringe)" I checked out the story link and the first thing I noticed is that it was a Wattpad story -_- No offense but the majority of Kpop writers on there is like 10-15 yr olds who can't write for and has like the worst grammar ever. I sighed and clicked on. Guess what? It . Like there was no details and if there was it would be so vague and I had no insight on what was happening and stuff. Regarding your last chapter, she DOESN'T FREAKIN USE PARAGRAPHS FOR EVERY DIALOGUE AND I'M LIKE WHY?!?!? You wanna know one more thing? It was a story, oh my god I like cringed. I stopped before I finished the first chapter. TBH the people in the comment section has no idea what they're talking about or either has never seen GOOD writing before. Like do you even read books?

Chapter 15: if the readers complain about the small fonts, then they should know that aff had provided the "make readable" for absolutely nothing.

Chapter 15: heheh , I read all your rants. I agree with you especially with fonts, I don't like small fonts and when I read , I really enlarge the letters , because I feel lazy when the letters are small.
