Dear Readers....
Ranting & RavingI usually direct my ire at fan fiction writers. I see some seriously terrible on this site and it frustrates me. It irritates me. It makes me want to kick puppies and throw my precious computer against a wall. Some of this is so bad that I am tempted to delete all my stories, deactivate my account and block this site from myself so that I cannot be lumped in or associated with the madness that goes on in here.
Throughout this 'Ranting and Raving' journey, I have shown and/or talked about examples of this.... I have commented on , dubious consent, triggers, bad grammar, spelling, overall laziness, redundancy, convoluted plots, cliches, unbelievable characters and 'what the ' moments in general. What I haven't really done, is address the readers.
So hello dear readers. This one is for you.
Writers are half of the problem, you readers are the other half. When I come across these genuinely stories, I just have to ask...who the is reading this? Why aren't they seeing what I'm seeing? Do they really not understand what a story arc is supposed to look like? Do they not understand the concept of character development? Do they really not recognize that the writers is recycling lines and themes? That the writer is dragging this story out for clicks and . . . reasons? Do they not see that they're being manipulated and extorted every time a writer holds a chapter hostage for votes and comments? Do they realize that they are wasting
