Arranged Marriages

What to Do and What Not to Do in Fanfictions

This plot is so overly used that I feel sick to my stomach any time it is mentioned in a fanfic.

It always is a marriage between kids of CEOs with one of hte characters hating their significant other that is a total .

At least if you are going to do an arranged marriage, actually make it unique.

You know that arranged marriages are very rare during this day and age, right?

Simple then, take it back to an age where they were common.

That would be a fanfic I would absolutely love to read.

Fanfics that take place in history are my guilty pleasures.

However, if you think you can only write about the commonly used fanfic then don't even start writing it. 

It is incredibly uncreative.

Chapter 3: Hmm, this is interesting and I guess it differs from one to another. I personally like author's notes a lot. I truly feel like most of the time, authors don't really want us to hold them in a high pedestal. Instead, they might just want to be friendly with the people who read their stories. It's a 'fans-to-fans' place and I personally feel so good getting to know the fellow fans. I hope that makes sense lol. And also, I might be weird but I love it when authors use the background and poster feature to set the mood of the story.

Chapter 3: I think it's okay if users want to add a little color to their fics, but nothing too bright or blinding -__- Thank God they included a Enable Reader mode thing where you can disable brightly colored text ^^ Really comes in handy. I think soft colors should be fine though, like a soft shades of red or something...that's what I sometimes use :3

As for the pictures I'm against using them. I like describing them, so readers can visualize better rather then staring at an image.

Chapter 8: Though plot is important, so is characterization. Yes, a good story can be written without describing the characters much, but lack of characterization can bore me easily.

Chapter 5: Personally, I dislike when people write something like [Jongup Oneshot] C.R.E.A.M
We'll know from the tags, you don't need to tell us!

Chapter 1: Do you know what is awful? When people don't know when to use the comma instead of the ellipsis. I've seen fics that would go something like:
(I can't think of anything, so I'll just use an example with a name)
"I love you ... Jongdae"
